My girlfriend and I arrive tomorrow around Noon and plan to head to the venue no later than 3:30ish. Looks like there are some yummy spots in Park Slope to go grab pre-show food!

Anyone know if there is a curfew? I think it may be 10:30.

Nice! By moving the date up one day it completely f'd up my plans and forced me to cancel. I'm very bummed to not be able to make this as i think its going to be just an awesome experience. Looking forward to your videos Dills! If they're anything like your past work I'm sure they'll turn out great. Enjoy!

Thanks. This things has no optical zoom or IS but worse comes to worse I'll rip the audio and post links.

thank you!!! see you on the rail :)

Not to be a downer, but I'm wondering if you'll get good audio capture from the rail. Maybe ask Ryan Pickett to let you set it on a tripod by the soundboard. Granted, with no zoom, you'll have a very wide shot. Dunno, just thinking out loud.

Sounds like a good idea but I'm not putting that much effort into this lol . Also it may rain and I plan on returning this camera.

Any idea when this show starts? I know the tickets say doors at 6..but not really sure the deal in terms of who plays when.

dp74 · Jun 18, 2013, 09:29 AM

The show will most likely start pretty close to the listed 7:00pm start time on the tickets. That's how most of the Celebrate Brooklyn shows are.

Save to say we will see a couple of the SuperJam songs? I think so.

So...no Roll Call entry then, huh?

johnnYYac · Jun 18, 2013, 10:12 AM

Have fun tonight and report back with details, impressions, and the setlist!

Also, I've had no word back on early entry for tonight, so...

Golden · Jun 18, 2013, 12:19 PM

To answer my own question....

Celebrate Brooklyn! ‏@CelebrateBklyn 17m

Set times for tonight: @jimjames 7pm, @theroots 8:45pm, Jim James and The Roots 10pm

dylyn · Jun 18, 2013, 12:24 PM

So there are two entrances on both sides of the rear of the stage...I am on the right side if you're facing the the back of the stage closest to the street entrance... The guy said there would be NO early entry(as far as he knew) but didn't know much about it...so I guess just get here as soon as possible

dylyn · Jun 18, 2013, 02:38 PM

I'm so bored someone please come hang out

crooney · Jun 18, 2013, 02:48 PM

Is this a rain or shine event? Thx

itrainmonkeys · Jun 18, 2013, 02:55 PM

Thanks for the setlist info. Anyone have any info on a possible poster? I asked baconus to grab me one if he's able to but not sure if they'll have one or if they'll allow people to buy 2. I'm not going to be there for when doors open but will be there soon.
