[realdeal]

no beer=no show

[corey]

It's a new venue.
Don't think they have a website yet.

My girlfriend and I will be in Nashville as well as Indy.  I can't wait.  The show at the Palace was great, but not nearly long enough.

it's all good...i will be there anyway. i just hope its not a venue where there is seating. just ordered my tix yesterday!

[erter99]

I'm so there ... got my tix already ... already caught them at the Sloss Furnace show this year, which was great, even if the sound was ho hum, and again opening for Wilco in Louisville (which was surprisingly lackluster, except for the DON'T FEAR THE REAPER encore with Tweedy and the boys) ... a bunch of friends here are going, as well as my best friend and his girlfriend flying down from NYC ... bring it ...

[ycartrob]

So this Drunkre, is that the sing a long guy to the Cheap Trick song at Sloss? Is that the guy? Man, that was perhaps one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life! Doesn't sound like much if you weren't there, but it was so unexpected, ballsy, passionate...I loved it! :)

[sweatboard]

Yes, that would be the moment we are refering to.  One of the great moments in rock n roll history!!!!!!

[EC]

It truly was an amazing moment in time.

Love live drunkre, wherever ye may be. :)

[darkglow]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[EC]

Love live drunkre = long live drunkre

aaahhhh drinks.  ;)

[Specialist]

i'll definetly be there, whether i can get in or not.

[darkglow]

yeah.. we had 3 or 4 too many jack & cokes.. luckily i was the semi-sober one that kept some sort of order in place up there.  i still remember directly after the show some really young and stoned (i would imagine he was stoned) kid lazily jumps up on the stage to snatch up a drumstick and one of the stagehands just shoved him off of the stage and it seemed like he fell in slow motion and got right back up and tried again only to get shoved harder and yelled at. we were all up there just cheering him on for that.

[ycartrob]

darkglow, I remember THAT guy too (we were up at the front, my wife usually scores the setlist). That guy just appeared out of no where towards the end of the set. We were jamming out to Mahgeetah and BAM he runs right into me and slobbers on himself, then moves on over a bit. I don't know if he was so high that a side of his body was paralyzed or he had a deformity, but he definently was struggling with some body movements. And he also had some wild displaced hair features going on, like he had a patch of hair a coule of inches where his hairline stopped. And his eyes! His eyes were like the middle of glazed, cherry donuts. We named him THE MONKEY BOY. After the show (after the set list got scored! ;D)we watched his crawling onto the stage and get pushed off. He looked like a pillow case full of pudding when he was flying (somehow in slow- motion) backwards off the stage. He also had a friend with him who look disheveled and unkempt. We nicknamed him THE KEEPER.

Good times! 8)

Thought I'd add to the banter about the venue, City Hall, since I've been to a show there already.  It's a gutted out warehouse that holds 1200 and for all those worried about seats, there's not a seat in the house.  I went to the first show there last month, a sold-out Ray LaMontagne gig, and loved it....both Ray's set and the venue.  I was worried about the acoustics because of the concrete flooring, brick walls, and wooden ceiling above the towering rafters, but the huge swanky red curtains they placed over the windows seemded to do the trick.  Even with 1200 in there, it wasn't tight at all.  City Hall has a similar setup to Bogart's in Cincinnati, but a little bigger.  Draft beers are a shameful 5 bucks, but try the local Yazoo Brew selection.  You won't be disappointed.  And hopefully they've fixed the water leakage, which spawned a small lake in the back, which I trodded through on my way to the bar.  The place is just one big room, with a stage plopped down in front, three feet off the ground.  There is no parking lot, and street parking's sparse, so arrive early and form a line in the ally, or catch a drink at the swanky Bar23 next door.  If you need some dinner before the show, head around the corner to Demonbreun Street and hit up the Tin Roof or Dan McGuinness, which has a large patio and serves a mighty fine Beer Cheese Soup.  And one more tip for all you Eastern Time Zoners, don't forget that YOU WILL LOSE AN HOUR during your travels, making that 2 1/2 trek from the Ville an hour shorter.  Sweet.  Too bad it'll be 3 1/2 going back.  Hope this helps a bit.  I'm a Louisville native living in Nashvegas these days and am looking forward to bringing many a local Jacket Virgins with me to the show.  See ya there!

Me and a buddy of mine are going to Knoxville then straight to nashville for a superb weekend of jacket...can't wait!  See all you guys there.
