ST. LOUIS - The Pageant

[BH]

OK, so I got 4th Row Center tickets.  Keep in mind, at the Pageant, it's all GA on the floor and my tickets are on the balcony.  They are really good tickets for a visual experience but I don't know if I should sit there or go up front.  The problem with up front is I don't think you can drink down there and it's impossible to get to the bathroom.  (Does this make me an alcoholic?) The problem with the seats is sometimes you get assholes that won't let you stand up and rock.  If I can't fist pump, head band and generally make a total fool of myself, I won't be happy. I don't know what to do. Anyway, at least I have the option to chose.

Not sure why I am boring everyone with this topic, but I wanted to start an STL post anyway to see if anyone else is going to this show.  The Pageant is a great venue. It is a theatre style setup that is perfect for these size shows.  It also has two big bars and keeps the liquids flowing with lots of bartenders. (There I go again.)

Good question - the way I see it, you can't beat the experience of being in front if you have the chance, even if it requires some sacrifice. Most of the shows I've been to recently were floor-only, but one was at a theater that is set up the way you describe, with GA floor and seating in the balcony. That was the MMJ-Wilco show in Montreal last year, I forget the venue name. Anyway, I was solo, but made plenty of friends around me who were willing to take turns retrieving booze. At it was hotter than Hades in there, so it all sweated out and no bathroom trips were even required!

My Tickets are GA, I hadn't really thought about not having drinks down close. But thats where I'll be anyway.
;D   Can't Wait!!

[BH]

I'll buy you one before the show!  I have a feeling I will be down in the GA myself.

[TEO]

I would go for the floor! Oh BH, on a side note, we just ordered our ticks. yesterday for MIZZOU's homecoming. We are gettin' psyched!  :D

Sounds good, hopefully I'll be sporting one of  Angry EwOk's OKONOKOS  shirts.

NICE!  I was thinking of going to that game myself.  I need to get down there for a game soon.  Hopefully we will be 7-0 by that time!   If a crisp fall football day in Columbia doesn't convince your son, nothing will!

Too bad the Pageant show doesn't coincide closer with the game you could kill two birds with one stone....

[BH]

Oh, and if you like good beers, I would suggest going to Flat Branch for lunch or dinner after the game.  One of my favorite old haunts. They make an IPA that helped me ease the pain of Thermodynamics.

Yeah!! Just noticed St. Louis on the 'updated' OKONOKOS dvd  screening city's.

[BH]

Just trying to get my show back up above all of the rest of the "lesser" shows on the board.  ;)

[suebeeboo]

O Bermuda!  Don't you mean, "Careful with that axe, Eugene" ?  Ummagumma is one of my PF favs!  Along with, oh..l guess, every single other PF album!

Anyway!  I hope you all have fun in St. Louie!  Let us "Lesser" show-attendees know what the scoop is!  I suppose I could have made that, what? 5 or 6 hour drive from Chi-town, but oh, well, I'm too tired.....and laZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZy!   :-*

[BH]

That's my nod to my former favorite band.  Ha!  MMJ has taken over!   Actually I was always a big Floyd fan, but about 5 or 6 years ago I started buying the "older" albums and it went to a new level.  Meddle, More, Obscured By Clouds, UMMAGUMMA live disc and Animals or sooo sooo good.  My goal in life is to get casual PF fans to buy these albums.

When I first found the MMJ Mother cover from the Darla rarity it was like the coming together of the two best things in the world.  Magical.

Remember when George on Seinfeld snuck that hoagie sandwich in to bed so he could eat it right after sex, thereby combining his two favorite things together?  It was kind of like that.

"When I was a kid, we had a quicksand box in the backyard. I was an only child . . . eventually. "

And now I must ask, because I'm too lazzzzzzy to search lyrics, but where does this one come from, Bermudie!

One of the millions of gems from the comic genius, Stephen Wright.  It's about time for a new one now that you mention it.  I guess I should put his name on those for credit shouldn't I?

[suebeeboo]

Wow, I don't know Stephen Wright.  Where can I check out some of his stuff?  Does he have cd's or dvd's?  I'm a HUGE fan of Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks - they are my two all time favorite comedians.  I have yet to experience Lenny Bruce but that's on my list of 100 most important things to experience, along with going to Australia & New Zealand, reading Edith Wharton, owning a classic car and blah, blah, blah!  These are "things" you tackle one step at a time and you're damn determined if you do it!

[BH]

You are in for a treat!  (On the other hand, some people just don't think these are as funny as I do.  My wife is one of them)  The only problem is, it's not the same without seeing and hearing him.  His monotone, unemoitional delivery is half the comedy.
