[ms. yvon]

i'll do the SASE thing after the show.   ;)

I'm thinking I should have had something together to give away to folks...

your winning smile and some killer dance moves is all we ask!

and cake.  for 4,000.  if you can swing it.   :D

Anyone know how many people are expected at this show?

Okay, I don't get it.  I have searched the internet 2 times over and I haven't found a good picture of the Great Lawn.  I want to see what the place looks like during concerts.  I looked on here as well, and I didn't find anything.  
Isn't anyone else having this problem, or am I the only person who has no idea what it's going to be like?

If there are any pics, I would love to see it so I can get even more excited.  I need something for me to keep me entertained until the show.  I can't wait, seriously, I want to go sit on the lawn right now and just wait there.

Try this: http://www.asla.org/meetings/awards/awds01/imagesjpg/louisville2.jpg

this is an aerial view.  They usually do concerts near the big open field close to the bridge.

Another good shot.

Go underneath the overpass, closer to the river and that is where the show will be.

My buddy is going to ride over there today and see if they are setting up the stage yet or anything.  If they are I will have pics to post tomorrow.

I would love a general idea of what to expect, so then I can dream about it for the next few night.

I expect way more than 21 songs. And you better believe they will treat us to a cover or two at least.

I said the same thing about Radio City. No dice.

Agreed.  They are going to play for three hours.  That is only a two-hour setlist.  You better believe there will be more TTF than that!

[ycartrob]

hometown band, howmetown crowd; the set should be Bonnarooish

[ms. yvon]

dusty and with vegan burritos?   :-?

[whodoto]

How you gonna boogie if you really don't wanna dance Ms. Yvon?

[Kory]

Theres a few folks here that can look out their window and see if they're setting up... folks I haven't seen around in a while...

I'd have to walk the bridge but maybe I'll make that part of my bike ride home today.

[Backseat Sandbar]

My office faces the waterfront & I can confirm that nothing is being set up just yet.  

Waterfront Concerts are great & I've yet to find a stage configuration I've not yet liked.  My suspicion is that the stage will be set up so that the water is the backdrop as it was recently for George Clinton, rather than the configuration used for the LCD Soundsystem/Arcade Fire show.  

We're going down early to avoid the crowds and just cooking out at Derby City Espresso which is just a couple blocks from the Waterfront.  We've got Hambone playing some really great bluesy stuff beforehand and DJs afterwards so you can avoid the crowds on both ends.  For any out of towners, you ought to come if for no other reason than to check out the "Derby City Stout"....a stout prepared by the BBC exclusively for DCE which incorporates coffee beans....very very good

I've heard 2 really cool rumors (well, one is confirmed, one is still, as I understand it, still a rumor), but I cant spill them because another board member asked me not to. So if you wanna know what it is, start leaning on GivenToFly. Sorry to give you up buddy, Im just bored as hell, counting the seconds until Saturday :P

It benefits me personally to not give the confirmed rumor away, so I will keep my mouth shut.  ;D
