Super excited about this show.  Who else is going?

Thought I would bump this thread seeing as how we are only 6 days out for this show!   

EC, Mr. and Mrs. Beer will be in attendance for this show.  Anyone else?  Robb, are you making the trip down from Michigan?

My wife teaches and we won't be getting into C'bus until around 5:30 or so. Still plenty of time to grab a few beers and some grub before the doors open.  Any thoughts on where to possibly meet up?  My wife and I usually hit up Elevator Brewery when we go to shows in C'bus.  Good beer and good food.  It's about 2 miles south of the Newport on High St close to the Arena District.  This is probably where we'll be so if anyone wants to join us feel free!

I'm picking up a buddy of mine after his class around 3:30 and then I have a 3 hour drive there.  Unfortunately, I am 20, and I hear that beer is illegal in these parts for a man of my age.

Glad to see some more forum goers are in attendance.  I can't wait for this show!

Dream Encore (That is relatively realistic):

Bermuda Highway (Jim Solo)
Wonderful (Jim Solo)
Dear God
Evil Urges
Lowdown
Loosin' Yo Head
Anytime

Dream Encore (That won't happen):

Bermuda Highway (Jim Solo)
IWBTWYD (Jim Solo)
Dear God
Evil Urges
Lowdown
War Begun
Steam Engine

I really want Evil Urges to happen in support of equality

Anyone know how the Newport Music Hall venue is laid out?  If the doors open at 7, what time do you think I should be there to get a good spot?

Last time I was at the Newport it was about 4 years ago seeing Dark Star Orchestra  (before John moved on to Furthur).  We partook in some kind before the show and chose to hang out on the rail of the balcony on the right hand side as the floor was pretty packed and I just wanted to chill and take in the music.   

I'm also not one to care about getting on the rail so I couldn't help you as to how early you'd need to get there.

Thanks for the insight.  I am so ready for this show!

Ground control came through! They added me to the list, and I will receive my laminate upon entry.  Good stuff!

The email I got was this:


"your name will be at the Will Call location and they will deliver a new laminate there. The laminate will be good to get you into First Entry for this show and subsequent First Entry opportunities. "

Did they mean Roll Call location? And where exactly is that? I'm assuming it is at the front entrance of the newport music hall.

Thanks for the help!

Yes-most likely it's the same window...every venue is different so you'll have to find out when you get there (Newport isn't that big)

Will Call is the window at the Box Office where you pick up your tix that have already been paid for, and just need to be picked up the day of a show. It is NOT the same thing as Roll Call or the line where Roll Call meets for early entry. Some bigger venues have a few ticket sales windows, and separate windows for Will Call.  Others it's the same window. Either way, just make sure you have id, and you're good.

I've never been to this venue, but I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding the box office or the Will Call window. They'll most likely be other Roll Callers picking up their tix there as well.

Not sure what the ticket situation is like and whether its close to selling out or not.  It's probably whether you'd prefer to be safe, grab them online and get the printout version, or pick up the real ticket at the show.

See you all there!

[keliwike]

I have an extra ticket for sale if you're interested...

I'll be heading out and away from my computer after 1, but I'll probably be at the Newport a little after 6.  Figure I'll be in the Roll Call line from that point.  I'd bought an extra ticket for a friend, but they couldn't make the trip.  If you need a ticket, I'll sell it for $25.  Just thought I'd put that out there.
