Quotemygeetah: poe's tavern looks like a terrific place! i'm a sucker for outdoor seating. and beer on tap. [smiley=beer.gif]

It is and I totally agree! And the atmosphere and people generally make it that much better.

Best. Fireplace. Ever.

....and bathrooms are a must see! (and use)....very good reading material.

i don't know anything about the venue but encourage you to make the trip anyway!

back to back shows in 2 different states? why not? [smiley=beer.gif]

Have seen one show at Family Circle (60's rock) and acoustics are AMAZING. That 'cover' band, not so much.

Floor is sold out so I would assume a good turn-out. That being said, the venue is BIG and might not appear too full.

I can get extra floor tickets (friend with Family Circle) if anyone's interested.

And you can try to negotiate this guy on Ebay:

Under 2 weeks out. I'm starting to get fired up! I'm headed down to New Orleans next week to catch them at Jazz Fest.
Is Poe's looking like the winner for the pre-game spot? I can dig it if so. A good friend of mine that lives at Park Circle North Charleston is coming. Its his first show. I wouldn't mind getting him around some fans beforehand so he understands what he's getting into. Plus, I wouldn't mind meeting some of you guys. We plan on heading somewhere around 3 that afternoon. Also, wouldn't mind posting up a tailgate maybe around 5:30 or 6 outside the venue. Maybe share some drinks, tunes, and conversation. Any thoughts?

We'll be @ Poe's more than likely..hop, skip, and a jump from Family Circle on 526.

I guess me and my buddy will try to make it to Poe's if there is a pretailgate party. Are you guys gonna tailgate or is Family Circle not conducive to that kinda thing?

Family Circle is all about tailgating!

I need to sell 2 tickets to the Charleston show. Will be face value. They are in section 116, seats, which is left of the stage. If anyone wants to buy please send me a message.

Thanks

dbmillertime · Apr 21, 2010, 08:11 PM

I've seen a few for sale posts, but I'm looking for 3 GA floor tickets. PM, reply or email if you have some. in lexington ky and will be in charleston on monday.

Ruckus · Apr 24, 2010, 01:27 AM

So is anyone up for a preshow tailgate? Are peeps going to Poes? I'm definitely down for whatever. Let me know if there is any interest. It would be cool to meet some forum peeps at the show where the thread is getting the least interest. [smiley=beer.gif]

Bug · Apr 24, 2010, 11:11 AM

I am now planing to come down for the Charleston show. Atlanta was great, but too much of a tease. Another show is in order. :)

Anyone need to get rid of a ticket?

Ruckus · Apr 24, 2010, 05:25 PM

So where is a good place to stay? We are looking to stay where we can walk to a bunch of nightlife. Is historic downtown very touristy or does it have a lot to offer as far as bars and music. Otherwise, is there another neighborhood that is more appropriate for this kind of thing? Suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, for those that may be going to Poe's, how early will you be arriving there?

LaurieBlue · Apr 24, 2010, 06:48 PM

Just want to let interested parties know the tickets have been sold. Thanks and have a great time everyone!

It usually has an appropriate mix. King Street or Market will be your best bets if downtown is what your looking for. I personally like East Bay Meeting House. Low-key/smaller bar with very nice ambience. The bartender "Blue" will more than likely be there. Very nice, eccentric, good conversation guy.

If you can afford it, downtown is a nice mid-point to it all with the most beautiful homes I have yet to see (most Civil War or pre-civil dates). From there, Folly Beach is 15 min...Sullivans is 15 min....Family Circle is 20. So much to see and do and I hope you guys have a blast!

I still need to sell 2 tickets to the Charleston Show. Send me a message if interested. Will be face value. Good Seats.

Cool, thanks man. Snagged two nights at the el cheapo Comfort Inn downtown, about a mile or so from the main area. Really looking forward to it. I will be at Poes around 3ish. Maybe I'll find some peoples if I overhear some Jacket jibber jabber. :)

Rock on EW! Just got in after a 9hour drive, got one vodka tonic down and on my way to Poes for a burger and beer!
