*"Deer Creek 2007!**

[kgiles21]

Greetings fellow ants!
I hope that everyone is doing well. This is becoming an annual tradition for me posting the Deer Creek Thread. I thought we could use the Deer Creek for Sale thread, But that is just too damn depressing!
For those who don't know, Live Nation has placed Deer Creek for sale. Now, we are not sure who or when someone will buy the venue. We are approaching this year as our last. We hope that is not but no one knows. So with that being said we are in the booking process for the summer. We do have a few shows on tap thus far. Plus, we will once again have DMB.
Since it is February there are not a lot of details. I am hoping that in the very near future we will have the dates nailed down for DMB. As we go along I will be here to answer any questions that you may have about the venue, camping, hotels, and traffic. I do want you all to know that traffic is going to be something that we are working on. Basically, State Road 238 is gone coming in from I-69 to the venue. If you come from I-69 you will come down the new access road. There really is nothing that we can do. This is the state of Indiana and Hamilton County. My advice camp near the venue. If you can't camp arrive as early as possible. More information to come as we go along.
For those who don't know me I am on the management team for the venue. My name is Kyle and I have been working at the creek for 8 years now. I have worked in a vast number of roles but finally found my home on the management team.
As always I will around so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
I DO KNOT KNOW WHEN DMB WILL BE HERE. Believe me once I know you will know.
I hope everyone stays warm here in Indiana it is down right cold!
Watch the superbowl and cheer on the Colts!
Cheers,
--Kyle

As much as it sucks that the venue may be/probably closing after this year, at least we know that before the shows. I mean if they had shut it down before this summer season, it would have really sucked to not have known that it was the last "Deer Creek" last year when we were there....

I mean, I'm just glad I know ahead of time that this could be the last Deer Creek weekend for me, forever :( You can bet for sure I will be there at noon the day before the concerts ready to spend three amazing days hanging out and drinking, with some great friends, while jammin' out to some great music.

Deer Creek 2007 I can't wait!!!:monkey

[twostepr41]

Just because Live Nation sells it doesn't mean it will cease to be a music venue. When you sell a house does it cease to be a house? Is there an identified buyer with plans to tear down the amphitheater and build something else? Someone sold it before and it didn't change anything so perhaps a sale isn't that significant.

[kgiles21]

You are correct. However, with the development going on around the venue cahnces are high that someone will buy to build other things in its place.
Hopefully we stay a music venue. But, no one really knows.

[SmoothD41]

Thanks for all the information you pass on and questions you answer each year. I'm really excited for another summer with DMB at the Creek. If the shows are anything like this past summer, we are all in for a hell of a treat. I really hope that this summer isn't the last time I get to see them at Deer Creek, but if it is then they have given me 9 years of absolute bliss.

[Allie35]

Thank you Kyle!:)

[Dmbfan17]

We can still camp right there correct?

[Dmbfan17]

Also you phsyced me out Kyle, lol. I got a feeling( you may already know) that Deer Creek will be alot later in the tour then in 06.

[clayj41]

I don't know why things would've changed...here's to Deer Creek in '07! Hopefully they'll be more shows there in the future...:o

We can only hope:cool

[kgiles21]

I wish I knew when they were coming. I also wish they would come here later in the tour.
As far as camping, I have not heard that we are not doing it. As I receive information I will make sure that I pass it along.

[staticzep]

Thanks for the thread Kyle. As a Noblesville resident, I cannot wait for DMB to come back. But I cannot see Deer Creek as anything but a 203 acre corporate business park after this year :(

I am going to attend both shows in Vegas, however many shows DMB plays here, and maybe even Wrigley if I am not dead broke by then. I think your staff will have to drag me out of the venue the last DMB show this summer. I am going to miss the hell out of Deer Creek.

[achota33]

Go Bears

[staticzep]

2007 = DMB Deer Creek
XLI (#41) Colts vs. Bears

Colts win and DMB kicks ass! What could be better? I would say a peace in the Middle East but we're more likely to see dinosaurs and dodo birds come back from extinction.

you may not have much insight on commercial real estate development.

i hope it stays a venue for music, though

[twostepr41]

i have none. but oak mtn amp here in bham has been sold numerous times and is still an amp. i was just trying to ease the worry that deer creek would get demolished. and the area around oak mtn amp is developing rapidly. it benefits everybody to have a concert venue there though.

Desperate alternative measures to save Deer Creek #1:


Background

Residents of Cincinnati need not worry about a pending sale of their beloved Riverbend Music Center. The Ohio River floods that venue just enough to render that real estate unattractive and unappealing to land brokers and The Rolling Stones.

Solution

A stream runs right through the 203 acres of the precious land Deer Creek occupies. If we can find a way to secretly dam this stream at some point down stream temporarily after a big storm rolls through, we just might be lucky enough to flood the venue just enough to scare off prospective developers.

Requirements

Beavers -- lots of beavers
Rain Dance
A Horseshoe -- for luck
The Beaver Whisperer
A live Web feed directed to Richard Ellis' office

[daveindyman]

Also you phsyced me out Kyle, lol. I got a feeling( you may already know) that Deer Creek will be alot later in the tour then in 06.

I think you may be right especially now that we know the new album will be dropping in July (see thread in DMBc). Knowing this and assuming the tour starts arond that time, Kyle can you tell us whether the days DMB has on hold are "earlier" or later on in the summer? I know you cant tell us specifics .... I am just hoping Deer Creek, Wrigley, and Alpine are a little spread out because I am going to all three!!:bounce

Haha love the idea..... Flood the Creek!!! Do we need to go to Oregon to get all those Beavers?

[kgiles21]

I wish I could narrow it down. They have holds all through out the summer. Some in the beggining the middle and even late summer.

[Crumbo]

maybe I'll just book the hotel every weekend from June until September

:lol

[duane26]

:lol

And you probobly know which weekend!:lol

[pfaffy41]

I don't care when DMB heads to Deer Creek, just as long as it's NOT July 6th and 7th! I am in a wedding on the 7th, which I clearly couldn't miss....and I would be devastated if that happened to be Deer Creek weekend! I also hope that, they don't change the Wrigley dates to earlier so that they land on that weekend.....

Basically, DMB for me to be happy, DMB cannot play at Alpine, Deer Creek, or Wrigley on July 6th or 7th....but especially Deer Creek! that's not too much to ask, right? lol

I believe you can get them on NFL.com or go to one of the Colts stores downtown. I think they run about $100.

[Dmbfan17]

Well Ozzfest is at the Creek July 23rd, so scratch anything from the weekend of the 21st and 22nd I guess. Assuming they boys play the weekend, which is what I'm thinking they will do.

[kgiles21]

Just curious as to where you got this information. Ozzfest was here last year on July 23rd. They are slated to come back this year but I have not seen the actual date. As far as doing back to back shows, last year we did Brooks and Dunn on Jult 21st Def Leopard July 22nd and Ozzfest July 23rd. So we can turn the venue around overnight if need be. Its not fun be we can do it!

I'm not trying to call you out just curious as to where you received this information. On the ozzfest website the tour dates are from last year.

[davehead86]

Man i had the best time last year at this venue, i cant wait to meet all of you guys again.

[strudl]

Last year was my first at this great venue, it was simply AMAZING! IMO some of the best shows of the summer. Unfortunatley, I did not get to stay for Night 2 due to a wedding in DeKalb, ILL. This year it will be both nights (assuming 2 dates are booked).

If this is the last yr for the venue ( /cry if it is) lets send its last DMB show out with a bang!

[johnpcoyne]

i can't believe this could be the last year!!! its so much fun here! im definitely going to have to do the 2 night stand, along with (hopefully) wrigley and alpine!

Ah my bad Kyle, I was looking at the Ozzfest website, and never saw that it said 2006. So I am wrong on this one.

[kgiles21]

No worries. My heart stopped becuase I have a personal conflict with that day and if Ozzfest is on that day I would be working..

[hughesman62781]

so any new news on the shows kyle?

[kgiles21]

Nope we are still waiting for final confirmation.
However, Brad Paisley, Fall out Boy (Honda Civic Tour) and ozzfest will be coming this year. Ozzfest is going to be free. That should be real interesting.

--Kyle

so any new news on the shows kyle?

[davehead86]

Ozzfest is free????

What the hell is that all about.

[kgiles21]

The whole tour is free. The bands are not getting paid. Let me try to find the release.
Weird. great for the fans! Maybe Dave will do a free tour!!!
Ozzfest is free????

What the hell is that all about.

[kgiles21]

Ozzy Osbourne and wife/manager Sharon Osbourne held a press conference at the Concert Industry Consortium February 6 that was promised to be historic, and was. Osbourne dispelled rumors that he was retiring and announced the first free festival tour in the history of the U.S. "Ozzy's been touring for 30 odd years and he's done very well, and just wanted to give something back," Sharon said. The tour starts in San Bernardino July 7 and will continue through 25 cities including San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Dallas, San Antonio, Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, Pittsburgh, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Hartford, Charlotte, Atlanta, West Plam Beach and Nashville. A final confirmed list of cities and dates is forthcoming. How this will work logistically is unclear, but it will be a ticketed event and is a Live Nation tour. "For the last few years,ticket prices have steadily climbed as artists demand more and more money for summer tours," Sharon said. "We certainly want everybody to make money, however we also want the kids to be able to afford to come out and have an incredible experience. If we continued with the traditional touring festival model, we would have no choice but to raise ticket prices again this year." The bands will not be paid. This gives artists an opportunity to get exposure by playing in front of thousands of Ozzfest fans, Sharon said. The artists will have the opportunity to secure other gigs during the tour. A lineup is expected within two weeks.

[hughesman62781]

ha ha that will be the day.... just curious if you know kyle whats a ballpark range of what DMB gets paid when they come to deer creek?

[kgiles21]

more than our lifetime salaries combined! Let me do some checking. First I am not sure how much it is. Second, I'm not sure if I can release that information.


ha ha that will be the day.... just curious if you know kyle whats a ballpark range of what DMB gets paid when they come to deer creek?

[hughesman62781]

cool dont want to get ya in troble or anything

[kgiles21]

Kind of funny you say that. Last year my boss was doing some research to see what people say about the venue. He came across the Deer Creek 2006 thread. He calls me into his office and said that he was proud of me to do something like this. Then he said make sure you don't release information you are not supposed to.
So if you are reading this HI!!!
I sent an email to see the amount and see if I can release it. I think I can because I want to say there is a web site that releases that kind of information.



cool dont want to get ya in troble or anything

[hughesman62781]

also are u on myspace kyle again just wondering

[clayj41]

Ozzfest is free????

What the hell is that all about.

Hell, I might actually go to it again.

Congrats to the Colts and this great city! :bounce

Where do you get a custom jersey?:confused

You have to be somewhat creative, which I am sure you are. Check out the custom super bowl jerseys at www.nflshop.com. Then check out some of the DMB patches on Ebay. I have three that I am going to place on the jersey. Support to a great band and a great team in one kick ass jersey.

[staticzep]

I was just reading in the latest edition of Rolling Stone that a good number of veteran bands (Metallica, NIN, etc.) are releasing new albums this year. Couple that with the fact that Ozzfest is free and David Lee Roth is touring with Van Halen this summer, one would have to believe if this doesn't give the outdoor concert scene a shot in the arm -- nothing will.

I personally don't believe this will change the fate of Deer Creek and other amphitheaters across the US. However, one can still hope. Not even a super bowl victory can mask the funk of the inevitable changes ahead.

[OneSwtWld34]

I Love Lamp and I Love Deer Creek!!

[SmoothRider45]

In the original article posted in the Indianapolis Star annoucing Live Nations plans to sell the venue, there was an interesting point made. According to the article, the only reason the City of Indianapolis has not added a much larger ampitheatre at White River State Park is soley because there was always Deere creek and they did not want to use the tax payers money to build another one. Now that Deere creek is presumably at the end of it's road, the City may consider building a larger venue at W.R.S.P. How badass would that be with the skyline falling right behind the bank of white river?

[pfaffy41]

I think my DMB summer tour fever officially kicked in this week. All I can think about is Alpine and Deer Creek, and the possibilities of going to venues I've never been to before.... Now comes the time of year when I sit in class and instead of taking notes I make camping lists, and setlist wishes, and well, it's just ridiculous.

I wish we knew the dates, because I am ready to start planning!! If this indeed is the last Deer Creek, I have every intention of making sure it's the best 3 days ever!

:monkey

[DMBfargofan]

Always looking forward to another great year @ DC

[skycody21]

I'm finally coming home from the military, and what better way to celebrate than at DMB's last Deer Creek show!! It's perfect! Only 14 weeks left!

[karebear0025]

What do you guys think, if this is Deer Creeks possible last year... DMB 3 nights?

[Dmbfan17]

This is what I have so far, so Deer Creek has to fit somewhere in this time period I would think.

July 13- 14th- Pittsburgh- Post Gazette Pavilion

July 24th- Toronto- Maybe?
July 25th- Darien Lake- Maybe?
July 27th and 28th- Spac- More than likely

August- 18th and 19th- Alpine- Pretty sure
August- 31st, Semptember 1st and 2nd- The Gorge- Almost 100 percent correct

[davehead86]

Id say per usual, Deer Creek will be towards the begining of the tour, most likley #2-10, they seem to like St Louis to open.

I guess we have a few more weeks.

[kgiles21]

sorry. I really wish I had some information to pass along. For those interested in Fall Out Boy they go on sale on Saturday.
I am preparing for the big winter storm that we are supposed to have. Everytime I see the snow I wish it was summer time and time for me to be at work full time working outside and having fun at the ole creek!
I have had a lot of questions about Deer Creek being purchased. We have not heard anything this far.

--Kyle| Snow Snow go away and dont come back another day!

Well with the tour being pushed back later, I am no longer worried about any dates in June. Now the only date I have to worry about is anything after August 22nd. And the only time they have played the Creek in August was in 2002. But hopefully I can make it. If not I only have Alpine.

[daveindyman]

Yeah I am just hoping there is some time like a month in between Alpine and Deer Creek. Since Wrigley is gone I have to think about hitting up Tinley again (boooo though I am assuming they would go there again) so I can hit up shows at the beginning and end of the tour. Of course it would be a bummer if all three concerts happened within a few weeks of each other. I like my DMB spread out all through the summer/fall!

I know what you mean about wanting Deer Creek, Alpine and Tinley to be spread out. I remember in '03 when Deer Creek, Alpine and Tinley were all in the same week, that was awful!

always excited for dmb at deer creek...cant wait...one of my favorite venues to see a show, especially with the camping pretty much right there next to the venue

[pfaffy41]

Are you making shirts again this year?

I wasn't originally going to, but since this is potentially the last year, I will definately be getting some shirts made up. I already have a few designs in mind, but I'm still clueless on the colors.

Also, for the quote on the back, given the situation, I think it might be "All good things must come to an end sometime, so don't burn the day away" but I'm going to look around and see if any other lyrics catch my eye, those were just the first I thought of. That's all I have for now, maybe this year I will get a head start on these, kinda seems like I have already, lol...

[kgiles21]

For those in Indiana, How are you handling the snow? This is kinda cool. its like im back in high school and I have a snow day!

Handling the snow quite fine.... havent set foot out of the house... called into work. Gotta love PTO!:)

[kgiles21]

I got up this morning and cleared my girlfriends car off and thought about going to get some coffee but decided that I would go back inside and not have anoter dumb idea like that again.

I do like the idea someone mentioned about using "this is the last stop" but something about the Pig lyrics seem to make it more sentimental or something, I just like that it would mean, hey this is probably the last deer creek, enjoy it while you can.

But I guess we'll see what happens with the venue, maybe there's still a chance it will stick around....:shrug

I think you've found the best way to handle it! :lol

Pretty much the same story here, south of the metro area. I guess we're not supposed to get as much snow, but we've got ice, sleet, and snow interspersed.

I live north in Pendleton. We have snow that has drifted above my knees and it has been sleeting for a few hours now. Honestley it can stop anytime.

Where do you go to school?

Tri-State University.... it is in Angola, IN and every school around us had school off today... I've even heard that Ball State was cancelled today (which is about 2 hours south of us). But I'm hoping for it to be cancelled tomorrow:) It just makes me wish for summer even more. NE ways Happy early Valentine's Day everyone:)

[winkler34]

this makes me sick to my stomach. deer creek is where i saw my first dmb show back in '97 - god, what is this world coming to?! I guess the old dmb saying, "it's not where you're at, but who you're with that really matters" is so true if deer creek is demolished. at least they'll still continuing to play ridick shows each summer. ugh, i hate development.

[daveindyman]

Kyle, any truth to the "Noblesville is Nevermore" thread on DMBc? I figured out of anyone you'd be the first to know something like this.

[kgiles21]

No truth to that at all. If we have been bought I think I would know. Second, if we were bought this fast we would not be having a concert season. If a reeal estate purchase of this size happened that fast I would think they would be tearing us down today. I can say they are not tearing us down today. I love all the rumors. I was in a gas station and I was wearing one of my VWMC jackets. The guy behind the counter tells me that he heard that we were bought two days after we went up for sale and the people who bought it were going to tear the venue down the next week to start building houses.
If I hear something it will be posted in this thread first.

On a side note. The snow can go away!

Let's hope the turnout at Deer Creek this summer is plentiful as the snow we have been bombarded with this week. One to three more inches over the weekend-- where the hell are we going to put it?

Speaking of rumors, maybe we can start a rumor that Deer Creek's 203 acres sits on a rather large sink hole. There's a quarry nearby that might add some credibility. I'm sure if we get a few more inches of snow, the dense snow will leave a depression in the lawn big enough to turn some heads.

This plane is more practicable and cheaper than my previous plan -- beavers ares costly.

Thanks Kyle. I knew if anyone would know something, it would be you. Once I saw you didnt make that original thread, I had to question it. Deer Creek lives for another day!!:monkey

[DMBvol41]

I'm getting more nervous about this by the day........

[daveindyman]

Ahhh if and when it happens, we'll all be pissed but we've been expecting it for months....

[FiReDaNcErTS]

It's so sad to hear about our beloved Deer Creek. That place took my concert virginity. It'll be sad to see it go- in theory. I'm literally 10 minutes from the venue. On the positive side (as I try to look at)- Summer is on the way! And that means the boys are on the way! I'm already trying to figure out HOW the hell I am going to score those Wrigley tix. My in-law lives in the city- I'll have to send her on a mission. Could you imagine- Chicago, the field, and jamming to the most amazing band ever!
Hurry up summer-
SAVE THE CREEK!

No Wrigley..

No Wrigley..

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/246402,CST-NWS-wrig07.article

no ones for sure yet whether there will be a wrigley or not. hell, no ones sure about anything except europe... i like to be optimistic about all of this, especially wrigley. and if they don't play there this year, you never know what coming years have to hold. it will DEF be another live trax though, just like fenway. in conclusion, I CAN'T WAIT FOR DMB 2007 SUMMER!! here's to another one, just like last!:bounce

[DMBCubs25]

quick question for anyone who knows, about how far is deer creek from chicago?

[jtadidas87]

quick question for anyone who knows, about how far is deer creek from chicago?

from chicago, its probably 2.5 hours max. just take 65 straight south, you might even get there in about 2 hours.

[DMBCubs25]

thanks, ive been thinkin about maybe goin there this year for the 2 nights, i usually just go to alpine every year but if deer creek is pretty close id like to try and get out there for this year, how many people does the venue hold?

[davehead86]

If your actually IN the city 65 is fine, but if your outside the city and dont know the traffic pattersn your fucked. 65 and the skyway is a giant parking lot and can take HOURS to cross. I took 4 hours to get to indy cause i went south then over. Id rather be moving for an extra 1.5 hours than sitting in one spot.

Approximately 24,000 people according to the website. You wont regret coming down. Last year's shows were some of the best of the tour.

[kgiles21]

This happend to me coming home from a show at Tinley Park. I got back to Muncie, IN at 6:45am. I had a class at 8am. That was part of my horroble experience at the then called Tweeter Center.
Bad bad times. Chicago traffic sucks!

Hi Kyle!:) We're still diggin out here in Ohio.

[kgiles21]

I feel you. We got another 3 inches today. All this ontop of my horrible sinus infection. I have done nothing this week. My girlfriend left because she was tired of me watching so much basketball! I had to go and buy a new snow blower on Monday. Thank god I tried to fire mine up before we got all the snow.



Hi Kyle!:) We're still diggin out here in Ohio.

[Allie35]

All this ontop of my horrible sinus infectionThat's terrible. I hope you feel better.

[kgiles21]

Thank you!
I moved my televison from my bedroom into the living room took the tv from the guest room and using my computer to watch basketball, today.
My girlfriend came back in and just shook her head. :)

Her exact quote was, " I can see that you are feeling better!"


That's terrible. I hope you feel better.

riverbend was freakin awful last year. I can't believe i drove 2 hours for that 2 and a half hour, 105 degree shitfest.

[jtadidas87]

riverbend was freakin awful last year. I can't believe i drove 2 hours for that 2 and a half hour, 105 degree shitfest.

i didn't go, i was going to but i had to go down to FL instead... anyways, my friends went and they hated it. i remember it being horribly hot, and i remember thinking, jesus, that heat would really take its toll on me and def dave and the band...

yeah, the heat was almost as unbearable as the lame ass setlist (spare the Seek Up opener)

[clayj41]

A buddy of mine went to Riverbend last year...I've never felt so sorry for him.:lol

[Allie35]

Aaaarg Riverbend was horrendous. We were in the PIT and there was no air at all! I think we are gonna skip Riverbend this year. I love Deer Creek and Germain. Last year was my first year going to Blossom and hopefully we will be there again.:)

[kgiles21]

For those country fans the mega ticket is being announced.
Kenny Chesney July 12th
Brad Paisley June something
Toby Keith September 14th
Mega tickets go on sale on Monday.

Still waiting on DMB!

[hughesman62781]

hey kyle can u say if the dates june 29-30 in the rumored tour dates thread might those be somewhat accurate maybe?

[kgiles21]

Nothing has been confirmed for us yet.

[Allie35]

if the dates june 29-30 in the rumored tour dates thread might those be somewhat accurate maybe?Highly doubtful since the baby is due in June and they cancelled the early July dates at Wrigley for the same reason.

[lizony]

hey everyone, are we all expecting the band to come to the creek this year even if it gets sold before the tour starts? can the new buyer cancel the showes that already are booked?????????????????? :shrug

[Allie35]

I think as Kyle stated a purchase of this magnitude isn't going to happen overnight nor is building or tearing down. The 2007 concert season is already in motion with the few shows and dates of other artists showing up.

I also think it was mentinoned in one of the papers as the summer of 2007 would have concerts going on. Past 2007 isn't known.

[Ehetland]

I really hope this is not the last Deer Creek show. I live less than 5 miles from the venue and will not be able to attend this year because I am going to be at Basic Training. Long Live Deer Creek and all the campgrounds that surround it!

[davehead86]

Well that aint gonna happen. The place will be sold and torn down its just a matter of timing. Will it be the end of summer 2007 or 2008 right before the summer tours startannouncing

[kgiles21]

What is the mega ticket?

Its a country mega ticket. it gets you into all the country shows at Deer Creek. Its a cool idea.

[kgiles21]

Allie was correct. However, nothing is ever concrete anymore. We have been told that we will have the 2007 concert season. After that it is unknown.

yea, very similar to tampa (including the heat). no tampa for me this year, instead, west palm!

kyle

If this was a normal concert tour I could maybe say 3 nights, but this is going to be a very different tour. Also, does Deer Creek really mean that much to the boys, that just because it is the last time there( we think) that they will cap it off with 3 nights?

I'm not Kyle, nor am I trying to be a dick. I am just thinking what will happen.

[Dmbfan17]

Not so stupid for the money they will get when selling it.

You know I was standing out in front of the venue last summer when a shuttle bus pulls up with a bunch of Ants on it taking pictures, except I didn't know they were Ants until I checked the website one day and saw a picture of the same people. I could have been in that picture haha.

Any chance you could upload a pic of what it looks like?

[FiReDaNcErTS]

First off, if I knew enough of you, I would organize this little "Photo- Op Send off". I'd LOVE to have a pic with all the Ants. Hmm... maybe a HUGE sign?
Second- is anyone else as FREAKING excited as I am, and it's only March (basically) OMG, this is going to be a long spring.
Damn those Europeans.
Seriously- I'll make a banner or something. Just love me. :)

[pfaffy41]

I know this makes me seem like an idiot, but I'm not exactly sure how to upload pictures, or I would definately put one up from last years show, and I could even show you the one from '04....if I knew how to upload it, I'm assuming it's relatively easy, so maybe I'll try it....

I don't have a picture of the shirt or I'd do it myself. It's pretty easy though. When you make a post just go down to where it says additional options and click on "Manage Attachment." Then you just attach the picture.

[pfaffy41]

maybe I'll draw up some sketches for the design in the next month or so(I can't garuntee anything though, I am in 4 studio classes this semester for my art major and am overwhelmed with artistic projects as it is)

[kgiles21]

BACK TO THE SHIRTS!!!!!!!!!! I want one how do i get it???????
And im sure we all want a picture also.
I'm new to the ants (i guess) but im ready to mingle:)

[Allie35]

I'll be checking Ants for sure....maybe even every night.Thank you. Stay safe and have a great time!:)

Kyle, I take it their is a chance that we may not have two nights? And a possibility of only one night? That would really suck.

[SmoothD41]

maybe 3 :)

[Allie35]

Oooooo.....I would like 3!:D

[dmbdan41]

This happend to me coming home from a show at Tinley Park. I got back to Muncie, IN at 6:45am. I had a class at 8am. That was part of my horroble experience at the then called Tweeter Center.

Bad bad times. Chicago traffic sucks!



you went to Ball State??

[rrbthree24]

Rumored dates? I don't have time to back-read.

[kgiles21]

Still attending BSU. Finishing up for December graduation.


[LEFT]



you went to Ball State??

[kgiles21]

It is unsure. I dont count on anything anymore. I thought I ould have a job for a while at Deer Creek. Now Im sending resumes out.
I assume it will be two. I hope for 3 very very very doubtful though.


Kyle, I take it their is a chance that we may not have two nights? And a possibility of only one night? That would really suck.

[Dmbfan17]

I would love three nights as long as they dont play at the Creek August 22nd and 23rd or after that. I start college. But with my luck I'm sure that will be the week.

[kgiles21]

Forgot to post earlier.
John Mayer June 26th.

nice, I heard he is putting on some good shows this year.

[Allie35]

We're seeing him (Mayer) tomorrow in Columbus. Can't wait!:)

[kgiles21]

My girlfriend wanted to go to that show.

[IndyFan8099]

I saw on Tom Petty's site that he is coming on June 23. Is this true?


Edit: Never mind it is a 2006 date. They need to update their site and list as archive tour dates.

[dmb7941]

Yeah, John Mayer! I'll be sure to get to that show, as soon as I get castrated!! Oh wait, I still have my balls and I'm a single man, "undefeated" so I think I'll pass!

[davehead86]

Yes the show was AMAZING, better than some DMB shows Ive seen.

Yeah, John Mayer! I'll be sure to get to that show, as soon as I get castrated!! Oh wait, I still have my balls and I'm a single man, "undefeated" so I think I'll pass!

Its not all poppy love songs anymore, his new album is very dark and disturbing at some points. He has grown into an amazing Blues artist.

Rumored dates? I don't have time to back-read.

ROBBIE, sup man.

Kyle wont tell us anything yet.

[pfaffy41]

nice, I heard he is putting on some good shows this year.

I went and saw him this past Tuesday in DeKalb, IL (I go to school at NIU) and it was a pretty decent show. I had 7th row seats which was great, but I was a little disappointed with the set, having to hear all his radio hits excepts Daughters... But I will always be a little bitter at any shows of his that I go to if I don't get to hear Neon.....lol

[pfaffy41]

I agree, the new album is :thumbsup

[daveindyman]

Ok so review from this week - this thread has talked about DMB possible tour dates and nights (nothing has been announced), Pfaffy41's shirts, and John Mayer (I still have to get that new album and hey I wouldnt mind seeing him live again) and other various dates at the Creek. Is this a fair weekly review? Maybe I'll try to do this once a weekend so we all dont have to go through plowing through the numberous pages on here to catch up... well except i wont be able to do it next weekend... I'll be sailing on the eastern carribean! So thoughts on this?

Eh, this thread is quite calm compared to a lot of the other venue threads. I don't mind reading through it. If you want to do it though, more power to ya!

Yeah this thread does lack the sheer number of posts but there is more substance to everyone's post other than "I'm eating a hot pocket, doing my algebra homework" type postings. I also thing this will help Kyle out some so people dont have to keep on asking him for an update on the latest rumblings on possible dates (guilty as charged!!!:rolleyes ).

[jtadidas87]

is anyone going to OAR at IU in april?

[daveindyman]

is anyone going to OAR at IU in april?

I heard it got cancelled. That true? And why?

[Allie35]

John Mayer (I still have to get that new album and hey I wouldn't mind seeing him live again)Saw him Friday night at Nationwide in Columbus! Put on a great show. I will definitely see him at Deer Creek this summer! Very good show.:)

Hopefully, I can put my patience in check and wait a few more days to get ready to plan for our DMB summer!:D

[kgiles21]

I want to go.

I dont want to think about IU right now. I went to the game last night.

[daveindyman]

Cant win a damn thing on the road. There tournament prospects are not looking that good. I hope DJ White does not go pro after this year. It's games like these that prove to me he is still not ready.

[kgiles21]

There is no one on thios team that needs to go pro.
Everyone keeps saying that IU is in the tourney. I don't know. We need to win the last two and go deep in the Big Ten Tourney. I'm debating if Im going to go to Chicago. I'm afraid we may look at that as a road game and get beat.

Looks like tickets will go on sale to the public for DMB 3/24.

That means we should have an anouncement this week sometime.

I agree. They still have work to do. If they win there last two, there is no question they are in. Their resume, RPI, and strength of schedule are all still up there. As long as they win the two games they are supposed to, the tournament will only determine their final seeding.

Where ya hear that from?

[kgiles21]

I agree very much so. But, that means we have to win on the road at North Western. I think we can do that....
I really want to go to Chicago for the Big Ten tourney. I know that my travel time is going away real quick with summer right around the corner.

Of course you do... sweet! Finally a date to look forward to and dates are coming this week you think? I am such a planner when it comes to these things so it will be nice to get things in motion finally!

[kgiles21]

If they are going on sale on the 24th. They would have to be announced this week to give the warehouse enough time to fill ticket requests.
I could see them pushing it back a week though. That's just me.

Thanks for the heads up. And does this mean there are definitely dates going on sale for Deer Creek? Guess I should backread first , huh.

Thanks,

[kgiles21]

As far as I know yes. However, nothing is ever concrete.
I wont say for sure until I hear the confirmations that we are getting a show.

Kyle,

I thought Indiana was in good shape, until I just took a look at their schedule. It would definitely be in their best interest to get 2 this week to get to 10-6 in the league. You should get yourself to Chicago for the tourney, always a good time.

Looking forward to actual tour dates, so we can get rid of the rumors and start making plans. Thanks for your help last year planning my trip to Indy.

Go Badgers!
Mike

[kgiles21]

I agree we need 2 wins this week. I will probably end up heading to Chicago. I go when it is in Indy. I have never been up to see it in Chicago. With baseball season right around the corner ( Im a IHSAA baseball umpire) and the concert season i better take one last trip.

Go badgers (today)

--Kyle

[SmoothD41]

if IU doesn't beat Northwestern and Penn State this week, then they don't deserve to go to the tournament to begin with.

None of the experts are even mentioning IU as a bubble team. Their RPI is in the low 20s, their SOS is solid, they don't have any terrible losses (Michigan on the road is iffy), a few really nice wins (Wisconsin, Southern Illinois, @ Uconn though they are undoubtedly down this year), and have not lost a game at home.

They need to take care of business this week, and they are a lock for the tournament. Even if they happen to lose on Wednesday at Northwestern, if they can beat Penn State and pick up a win in the tournament then they will still be in. When all is said and done, I'm betting IU will finish 21-10 and enter the tournament as a 7 seed.

[acardin24]

Thanks for all the news Kyle I'm hoping to finnaly make it to Deer Creek this year since it looks like it wil be my last chance.

And I'll be cheering for Indiana for ya too. Would like to see them get a good seed in the tourney and being a Kentucky fan Indiana winning makes makes UK's win over them look much better.
