Anyone going, I just moved to Maine.  Haven't been on here in soooo long, but I went this theater last night to see Clutch and what a gorgeous freaking venue, worth the trip from where ever you are...

Hey CTdeadhead!  Welcome back.  I'm going to be movin' to Iowa this summer, but have one more trip to the State Theatre planned this Tuesday to see Silversun Pickups.  Give me a shout if you go.  I'll be on my own.  Takin' the next day off and grabbed a BnB down the street.  It is a great venue and I'm bummed I can't make the Jim show there, but its on my last day of work in the old job and I've got Solid Sound Fest the next three days after.
The fact that my heart's beating is all the proof you need.

I'll be there! I saw MMJ in this venue back in 2010 for the grand re-opening.  They did not disappoint, and I suspect Jim will be just as good.  Looking forward to it.

This list gets better and better.  Possible adds, not yet confirmed...

Also, a former student, who I ran into at the Silversun Pickups show at State Theatre, will be there.  He was so psyched to buy his ole high school assistant principal a beer or three!  Actually, four.

I'm pretty sure those last two are confirmed, at least #8 is, and #7 is my ride to Solid Sound!  :cheesy:
"...it's gonna be great -- I mean me coming back with the band and playing all those hits again"

johnnYYac

I think you've got a ride to Solid Sound, with or without #7!  :thumbsup: 
Still, I would prefer to have #7 join the party!  This will be my last east coast live music event for the foreseeable future...

I've got your cell, Tom.  There's a joint just left of State Theatre where I usually grab a burger and a beer before shows.  Maybe the locals have better ideas.  Looking forward to it!

There are plenty of places right in the vicinity of the State to hang out at.  Let me know if any information is needed.

I'd say we need to pick a place if we're all gonna meetup before the show.  I know there was a cool place across the street, where I met members of Silversun Pickups after the show, but I don't know if they served food (the bar, not SSPU  :wink:).

I would recommend Nosh, which is a couple blocks down the street, same side as the State.  But it being a Thursday, the place will probably be packed.  It's not that big either, but the food is tremendous and they have an every changing beer selection.

Well, damn.  They've moved Jim's show from the State Theatre to Port City Music Hall.  I'm wondering if ticket sales led to this change...  :undecided:

It only holds 550 and tickets are still on sale, so looks like an intimate affair.  I guess that'll be alright.  Any new ideas, based on this being further down Congress St. a bit?
