yes he is. he was also the drummer of Wax Fang until recently and a recording guru in Louisville. Louisville Magazine music issue was released in December and he was on the cover. a really bad ass dude in all ways, and super nice.


also, great handle. love all the PJ love around here.

Yeah I know Erik,  I don't have the funds to travel like some, so I didn't get to see the jacket since forecastle.  I've been here reading though! Really would like to see this Nashville show.

[walterfredo]

so none of you that entered this have heard anything? boooh!  I've been really hoping some of y'all would get to attend, I keep checking this thread in the hopes of seeing some excited peeps.

Guys I'm starting to think we all lost lol

This is ground control,  wouldn't surprise me a bit if the winners haven't been selected yet.

[Waddy Peytona]

I have so many things I should be doing besides obsessively refreshing my email and this thread.

[e_wind]

I'm DEFINITELY not making plans, because 50 out of 210 is still 50 out of 210. Infact, there is more chance of us loosing than winning. I'm a pessimist, I know, but also pretty realistic. In fact, Im still planning on working on Friday night. Would be nice to go, but odds are odds

[e_wind]

16 entries from this thread. I know of at least 5 more that have no posted.


211 entries
50 people get to go
161 people don't win.
i know 21

someone who knows who to do math find out how likely it would be that I know 0 winners.  I'm thinking pretty unlikely.

[spence]

Rereading the original email it says that they can accomodate 50 plus their guest.  It doesn't say 50 winners.  This is their first show, so perhaps there will be some families, friends of the band, etc. going.  It could cut the number of winners down a bunch.  I would think you would know by now, after all the show is this Friday.

the show is on friday, but the contest didnt end until monday, sooooooo if time was an issue it wouldnt have gone down like that.

you are right though, if the venue is that small, then guest list could definitely eat at our chances.


i do have the contest page still up on my phone browser, and it says that they will be selecting 50 people through a contest.

[Fully]

I find it hard to believe that no one has come on here to celebrate that they've been selected. I'm still holding put hope. If Wade knows anything, I hope he'll come put us out of our misery.

[rusty95]

I'm not getting shit done at work today because of this,  maybe ill be calling in sick Friday also!
Seems like if you were not selected you would get a sorry email, maybe not though.

[e_wind]

no sorry emails, the contest said you will be contacted by email only if you win

[walterfredo]

hate to say it, but with only 50 spots, it's highly likely that most will be given to friends, family, music industry peeps, employees of the venue, etc.  Wouldn't be surprised at all if very, very few of the 'golden tickets' are actually given out to Joe-fan-public.

[mahg33ta]

I have no stake in this, having not entered and no way to get to Nashville.

That said, I feel for the anxiety of everyone and not knowing if you have plans or not on a Friday night on Tuesday afternoon can be stressful for work, family, etc...

My $.02 is that it's pretty disappointing to get a nice response from Wade "we hear you, appreciate the feedback, etc..." on the last show snafu - less than two weeks ago!!  -when the main issue was better communication.

thats true, but "We can only accomodate 50 people plus their guests, which we will be selecting by random drawing."

It explicitly says that there will by 50 people chosen to receive a pair of tickets. Not that no ones ever been misled by the entertainment industry, but I feel like it would otherwise say "The capacity for this show is 100 people, and rather than sell tickets we will be giving them away via a lottery." That would be very open ended.

PLUS, the conditions say that it costs 10$ per person at the door. If theyre only allowing 20 fans in, why would they even bother to charge?

[vespachick]

They're just trying to weed out those of you old farts who need to arrange for sitters. Rock and roll is for the young. Now, get off my lawn!

I have a good friend that used to work for Heavenly Ski resort in Lake Tahoe.  One of the things he administered was contests and giveaways for ski passes.  I can't tell you how many times I skied free with passes I 'won'.  Somehow, I managed to win a ton of drawings for Heavenly passes, ones that I don't even recall entering (strange huh?).  I would go to the box office and pick up a pass that said 'winner-San Jose Home and Garden expo drawing'.  Just saying...

Hope you guys all get in!

if this is truly the way they're swinging it, it just seems wrong. maybe if they advertised it to the world in a really nonchalant way that'd be one thing. But to make it available *only* to those of us who pay to be part of the fan club would be a low blow. I won't believe it.
