NYE Pre-Show MEET UP- The GINGER MAN

[buzzman1]

im liking the choice of bar just checked it out and its not far from our hotel too i think,yipee!! little over 2 weeks away can't wait!

[NoVa_NoLa]

Most excellent, Penny.  Thanks for coordinating.  :)

Gingerman can get crowded, but usually once you get past the bar, toward the little room with the chairs and sofas, it gets a little roomier.  :)  

no, thanks to you for the idea---i am assuming that back room will be open because in order to reserve it, people are going to have to do that $1000 guarantee and i don't see people coordinating that at this late date so i'm pretty sure MMJ fans will take over the bar, including the back room, (which she said holds over 50)

I agree...and I'll try to get there early-ish too to help to save space.  

Yay for good beer!!   :D

Team Good Vibes will be there in full force representing San Francisco California, Denver Colorado, El Paso Texas, Tucson Arizona and New York City New York!  Woot Woot!!

Thanks for setting this up!

i'll catch you guys there...only a little while to go now

Me and my girlfriend will be there. Just look for a cute TINY (under 5foot and 90 pounds) blond girl and a LARGE ugly guy looking like he might be a narc (thinning hair, 6 foot three over 220 pounds).

Can't wait booked my tickets right after Bonnaroo amd am travelling from Toronto just for the show!!!

[overthetop]

Oh yes, I might have two very good tickets in the 100 section directly back from the stage for sale at cost.

[idioteque]

this place looks amazing - but they are selling tickets for $100 from 9:30 - 2 am.  and they close at 2.  so a post show drink there might not be possible :(

[DirtyJerzee]

Not sure what time they are closing, but there are a few Heratland Breweries, especially one close by the Ginger Man and by MSG.

ill be there, anyone know how close this place is to Penn Station?

[Sassbox]

Penn Station is at 32nd and 7th and The Ginger Man is on 36th b/w Fifth and Madison, sooooooo four blocks north and about 2 1/2 blocks east.

5-10 min walk probably?

weather is supposed to be a little snowy/rainy in the morning:-( hopefully clearing off by then.

anyone else heading there earlyish?

[H.B.]

I hope to be attending! Scheduled to get into Penn Station from Boston @ 6:00 pm.  Kind of worried about the weather tomorrow. Boston is expecting 4 to 8 inches of snow, so just hoping to make it to the show on time!  

[DirtyJerzee]

I would try to leave early if possible. MMJ always seems to like to play days where the weater is crappy..at least when I have seen them it has been.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Me n Kerrie may be  there for like 3ish... :D The Ginger Man, that is.

[Penny Lane]

nice! i just called them to let them know there would be a pretty big group. 32 hours....

[Jef]

is this palce the best bet for pre-show drinks?

is it a completely idiotic idea to fill a nalgene bottle with vodka/red bull?  i can see the authorities either cracking down hard or worrying about other problems.  i plan on getting to Penn Station at about 7am or so.  looking to make a morning of it until the long-haul wait sets in, and obviously i do not want to venture too far from the area, as crowds could make it tougher to get back in time.

[October]

i have to run some errands in the city tomorrow.  how late do you think people will be hanging out at the bar?  

[overthetop]

I have a couple great tickets (Section 101).  and will be at Ginger Man tomorow with my girlfriend around 4-5 PM.

I need the cash or a favor for a guy who doesn't chance borders (from toronto); Would give them away but this city is expensive and I am not a rich man but would love to give these great seats to a real fan on this site without personal profit rather than dealling with scalpers.

Any takers? will have tickets at bar.

[MickeyReds]

see everyone there. :D

[Dodobird]

Putting my tux on now!!!  ;D
See you all at the G-Man!
