[lisaskye]

I can get you a ride.
I just moved to San Diego 5 weeks ago so I am staying with a gf.  so the overnight will not be possible.  so sorry   :-*

going to get tickets to SFO from San Diego.

[vespachick]

Oooh, San Diego huh?  Nice beaches; big fan of Del Mar, spent a lot of time there in my younger days.

I think we need to have an MMJ huddle someplace nearby Mountain View!!  

Please let Southwest have tickets for me to use my SW $$$$

[the_wizzard]

sw had seats for sale...so maybe there are still spots available for frequent flier miles.  I have decided to sleep on this....one more day has been known to kill me on the cost of flights.  but my husband can't go, and i have to make sure that i can sleep on a friends couch as well as get either a cheap ticket or use my delta miles on a partner flight.  i really want to go though.....................................

sleeping on it.....................................................................................................

[lisaskye]

thinking about it good idea.  I am on the SW web site right now.  just signed up for frequent flyer mileage

[lisaskye]

I am there.  I just booked flights on SW  cheep flights still there.  Good luck Vespa girl.

I can't wait to see the band Acoustic, how will the drums sounds.??

[lisaskye]

Are we sure it is the band?  and not just limited to Carl and Jim?
I was thinking last night that Jim and Carl were in Berkley and it was warm up for M. Ward and advertised as Jim.
So I am hopeful that this is the full band.
My thought is that the Bridge is an acoustic concert exclusively.


So is it the Full band??? or just Jim and Carl.  I am putting 300$ in to airfare and lawn tickets...........can not wait

[CC]

yep, it's the full band

according to wikipedia  as a practice not as a rule artists play acoustic instruments.  That should be interesting.  I hope they bust out some old school acoustic favorites like By My Car, The Bear, At Dawn, etc, etc.

somebody needs to tape this!

[Kory]

I'll send my MD recorder somewhere... any takers? Liz, you going?

[vespachick]

I may be going.

Liz, fyi, there's way more availability if you fly into San Jose instead of SFO.

Anybody know how long these shows last?  Last flight out on SW is 8:30p; I'm trying to determine if that is time enough or do I try to skip work on Monday...

I'm interested in Metallica's acoustic version of Seek And Destroy.

Always been a nice campfire song  ;D

they are an all day sucker, notice the start times.  the sat show is at 5pm and will last way past 10pm.  there is local city limit, not sure it may be 11:00 pm.  It is for the noise factor as it is outdoors.
the Sunday show will start earlier, and thus end earlier.  
Also, the bridge school students are always on stage behind the bands.  that is fun to see the kids rock out.  Neils sons' are alway there.  One has graduated and is growing  up nicely.  His wife is usually the master of ceremonies.

I have never stayed all the way thru, i like the opening acts as they will alway be great talent.  the later acts are great as acoustic it is hard to stay all the way thru.  You never know who will end up on stage. it is always a surprise.

I'll send my MD recorder somewhere... any takers? Liz, you going?

I think i have to go.....I played The Tennessee Fire today and the first song on the 5 cd shuffle was By My Car.  And then I knew I had to go, because if they play that song......wow!  I am going to finalize my plane arrangements tonight.  Got couch space at my girl Katie's house.  If I do record....you may hear my girl shout a "Thank you", or an "You're amazing" every now and then.  Just how it is.....
 Is theis MD big?  Easy to use?  I totally would take one for the team and do it......

I will let you know if I am going tonight after work Kory!

I'm going to hit the taper boards first, there's no reason to hassle yourself if someone else with a better rig is taping. I couldn't see shipping the stand so you'd have to clip them to something... i can understand how tapers (not me) say that you're there taping and not really paying alot of attention. It sort of ruins your time with constant worrying.

[Elizanne33]

I just bought tickets, I'm so excited!!!

[The DARK]

I hope they don't make it "no taping" again. That would REALLY suck.  :(

[Kory]

I hope they don't make it "no taping" again. That would REALLY suck.  :(

Then I will send Liz my mics and she can just throw it on the floor and get what she gets stealth!

[Kory]

Good to see you post, I remember you sending me that Okokonos dollar from NYE! Cheers again and have fun, this is the millionth reason I'm jealous of Californians!

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - October 16, 2007 -  Eddie Vedder's performances with Jack Irons and Flea at next week's Bridge School Benefit concerts have unfortunately been canceled due to a personal family matter with one of the band's members. The band apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.

My Morning Jacket has just announced that they will now be performing at both Bridge School Benefit concerts at Shoreline Amphitheatre. My Morning Jacket is a critically acclaimed five piece band from Louisville, KY, known for their electrifying live performances. A series of incredible concerts in late 2006, capped by a New Years Eve show at the legendary Fillmore marked My Morning Jacket's last Bay Area performances.
