Dear Peeps (RCMH Roll Call)

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

4 days left of work. I don't know how I'm going to focus this week, Pearl Jam on Thursday night... rush home to see MMJ on Conan, then leave for NYC Friday morning.

[Bigsky]

week from tonight!!!!!!!!!! :D

!!!!!!

re:  orange carnations, etc.  you know, this is NOT a bad idea.  i once went  to a restaurant near a venue to meet up with some people before a wilco show, and the place was full of people there for the show.

meaning, just b/c someone is wearing a jacket shirt at the bar doesn't mean they are from the board.

ok.  i'm gonna give this some thought.

first pass:  viking helmets, flowers on the lapel, tuxedo t-shirts are all possible indicators.

also:  an easter peep worn somewhere on your person.  on your shoulder, as a pirate, perhaps?

if you don't want to wear anything, using the phrase "rampant badassery" will be an indicator.   ;D

What about orange lipstick? Only joking...why not just anything orange?

If the color orange doesn't work, we could all wear devil horns... [smiley=evil.gif]

Anybody plan on meeting the band after the show? I'm considering waiting outside... weather permitting. I'm not sure but there's a couple places on W 51st that look like they might be band entrances... any ideas?

[jamiebear]

hey now....new to this board and would love to meet some fellow fans....
saw my first mmj show in philly at the khyber in 2001
been in love ever since!!!
very excited for friday!!

I'll have on a orange shirt, an orange carnation, and if any beers were packaged in an orange 12 pack, I'd be wearing an orange viking helmet.
I also like the peeps idea.

[size=20]re: heartland brewery meet up pre-show:[/size]turns out that while the heartland near rcmh has some "side rooms" they do NOT offer room reservations.

another heartland close by offers them but one has to pay for catering.  meh.  :P

so!

to keep it loose and light, and not give anyone "reservation anxiety" i propose that anyone who wants to meet up with some forum peeps before the show, just come on down to the heartland brewery near RCMH.

it's sure to be hopping on show night, so give yourself plenty of time to get bar service and relax (?) before the show.

as the date gets closer we can discuss which color carnation we'll all be wearing so that we're identifiable in a crowd.   ;)

the place closes at 11p, so post-show drinks seem unlikely.

i would just like to add:  YOW!! :D

Bumping the info while I'm getting mentally prepped!  Yowza!!! :D :D

Have we decided on a color theme? I'm partial to orange. :-*

While I'm at it, here's a list of things I have on my list to do.  Clearly I like to eat.

Friday:
Get there, go to hotel, crash, and saunter to Heartland with jittery anticipation.
Rock out.

Saturday:
Run 5 miles.
Whitney Museum.
Magnolia for cupcakes.
Maybe to Sarni's for a drink instead.
H&M for cheap cheap shopping.
Ollie's for delicious hot potsticker things that I love so much.
Someplace else for a drink.  Who knows?
Carnegie deli.  I prefer it over Katz's.
Zabar's.  To pretend like I'm grocery shopping.
Shopsin's.  Oh, they're only open for breaky, must do this first.

Sunday:
There's a Yankee game at 1:05 (as well as on Sat, hmmmm?).  I could probably get to JFK by 6???

The end.

a bunch of us will be here!  [smiley=beer.gif]

yeah i think i'm gonna try to go to that Yankmees game

[marshmeli]

I plan on pre-gaming at Rudy's (44th and 9th) a little walk, but not too bad, awesome dive, they even have a little outside patio area in the back, cheap beer and shots, no BS in this place

Any good dive bars in the area of Radio City? My buddy and I are looking for some good BBQ (Dinosaur was recommended to us) and a good bar, possibly for after the show... I don't think last call is until 4am in NYC, I might be wrong though.

I think the Dinosaur BBQ is in Harlem? But they most definitely have good food!

Yea, but its only about 2 blocks from the subway stop, and we'll be coming into the city at Penn Station, quite easy to just hop on the subway right there and walk a block or two.

Best dive bar in the vicinity of Radio City (you don't have many choices, midtown is a bit drab): JIMMY'S CORNER 140 West 44th St (between 6th Ave and Broadway).
Boxing memorabilia all over the place, and it has a great soul jukebox.  About a 5 minute walk to Radio City.
