~*~*~*~ Texas 2010 ~*~*~*~

[ExistenceNow]

Depending on where they go in the winter, I might hit a few, but whatever they do, I'm going to the last show of the year whenever/wherever it is.


I kinda want to do Wrigley regardless, because it's pretty much a shoe-in for a live release.

[justink]

Wrigley better be a livetrax. But I don't want a winter tour. End it at wrigley.

I also wish wrigley was in October. It'd give me more time with money and scheduling. And lord knows the Cubs wouldn't have a problem with scheduling.

[Aerialblue]

Our official Camp Danny Barnes flag! Evidently I'm Betsy Ross. Can't wait to tailgate with this.... or perhaps use as a cape.

I don't agree with this. If they are going to end, it should be a nice 2 night run at MSG.

Price is fine, I'm just worried about having to drive after drinking. We all pitched in for the Hilton Garden so no one would have to drive drunk.

They card at Ballsfest?


Well, even if they X your hands, if Justin and I go, we can sneak you drinks. Or, if it's far away, and you don't wanna drink anyway, maybe we could pay your admission in exchange for a sober ride.

[justink]

Ballsfest is on the park grounds next door to the venue... So I've heard. No further than bakers street to the woodlands I'm thinking. I'm down for that.

Question for those privy to ticket exchanges and the like. I've been confirmed for my WH tix for this year, section 107. Guess I won't get them in hand till much later this summer. However, with 2011 tour being out i'm considering doing something i've wanted to do for a while......spend some money and get about as good of seats as I can afford. In checking out Stubhub, etc. last night it seems there are plenty available in sections 101, 102 and 103 but the sellers never show seat assignments, just section and row. Now, is that common practice or is it all WH or other early ticket request folks (like myself) who just don't know the seat assignment yet?

Your thoughts on making this happen for me? Any way to contact sellers on those sort of boards to find out what the seat assignment is (for example, some claim to be "hard tickets-ready to ship") Again, i've got no experience with this; usually just get my WH tix and go to show. Any help appreciated, thanks!

hard tickets - real, actual tickets. not a printable e-ticket.

ready to ship - tickets are in hand, and ready for the mail (not wh).

no actual seat location besides section/row - more than likely wh tix or the seller just wants the actual numbers to be private until sell for some reason... but more than likely wh tix.

good luck!

For those not stating what the seat assignments are, but the tix are in hand, is there a way to contact them (For EX Stub Hub) to ask about seat assignments prior to clicking "buy"??? Thanks for your response, again i'm new to this and never used StubHub before.

Tomorrow's Jimmy Buffett concert at the Woodlands is the first to allow tailgating..but you got ot pay $30 to get your car in

Tomorrow's Jimmy Buffett concert at the Woodlands is the first to allow tailgating..but you got ot pay $30 to get your car in

So is it going to be $30 parking in general for every show?

[ExistenceNow]

Tomorrow's Jimmy Buffett concert at the Woodlands is the first to allow tailgating..but you got ot pay $30 to get your car in

Where are they letting you do it at? The mall?

[OUFireDancer]

^ I'm curious to know these details. would love it if we could finally tailgate at woodlands!!

[ExistenceNow]

^that would be cool, but I don't know about paying $30. Maybe we could meet at someones hotel then pile Ito the back of someones truck with beer/food etc and just split up the $30. Otherwise Baker St and its AC still might be the better bet.

[Aerialblue]

I would much prefer for real tailgating if we can. I was going to drive to the venue anyway because I'll be at the La Quinta up the road so I can scoop everybody up on the way back over.

[GrooGrux420]

I would be down for a regular tailgate at the Woodlands. :thumbsup

[justink]

where did this tailgating at jimmy come from? i'm trying to decide to hit it up today... usually i do papas ice house (they have a cover band and games) and then the waterway bars preshow for jimmy.

[Lee3691]

Hopefully if it goes well, they'll do it for DMB as well

Parrotheads, don't f*ck it up

Edit: You only have to pay if you want to go to the tailgating lot. Not sure how this would prevent other people from walking into this area.

[OUFireDancer]

Just read the article, thanks for that. I would LOVE to wake up early, head down to the woodlands from dallas, arrive at the tailgate lot and park my vehicle...leave my friends there with our gear so I could go and check into our hotel room and then party down the rest of the day. I'm glad they opened it at 10am rather than say, 2pm. That would've been too hectic!

Keeping fingers crossed this becomes a usual thing! I love tailgating!

[darren783]

Thanks guys. Also, in general, do you find tix (specifically good seats) tend to ramp up in cost closer to the show or do the asking prices go down? Again, never played the bargaining game before but looking to score good seats for this one after years of putting it off. I'd tend to think that the fact that DMB isn't touring in '11 that the market would swing toward the seller's favor but I guess they have to get rid of them somehow if it comes down to it.

[Lee3691]

10:00 am is pretty sweet. Smart doing it with the parrot heads, who average age is like 50, probably 10 to 15 years older than the average DMB crowd.

I don't mean to be a dick, but the vast majority of us don't buy scalped tickets, ever, so I'm not sure how much help we can be as far as advising on scalping price trends.

that's kinda cool. but i'm still leaning towards baker's street... cheaper, good happy hour specials, and A/C!

This, indeed.

If the mall offers free non-towing parking and will allow tailgating, then I'm down for change.

[Aerialblue]

Let's just see how the tailgating pans out for the other shows before September. Aren't we going to Jack Johnson sometime in August? We can check it out then for sure.

they tow from the mall? I've parked there for every show at CWMP and never had a problem

[ExistenceNow]

I've seen it taped off before with signs saying they would tow. Not sire if they ever actually did. I haven't parked at the mall since '05.

[dmbnut21]

I have seen them towing at the mall before. I even saw a guy once watching where people went so he would know who to tow next.

So, I did the only thing I could think of.... I walked in the mall on one side and then walked out the other and went to the show. My car was fine.

[justink]

Last few times I've been to the waterway in the past month, I've parked for free in the new garage across the street from bakers street. You gotta enter on the side by the Tinseltown.

Also, I've never had a problem parking at tinseltown's garage either. The new garage has direct access to the waterway/bakers street side without dodging traffic though.

[ExistenceNow]

^ is your sister dropping us off at the venue too? Or will she be at work?

[justink]

^ I'm gonna see if she can. We might be late though. So y'all might be better off parking at the garage and we can come back in the morning.

Hello Texas Ants! (bear :hug)

I know this may come off obscure, yet I'm looking for 2-3 guys who I had brief, but memorable, encounters with at the San Antonio and Dallas shows in '05 and meet them again in '06 in Dallas. Then, I bumped into them in the VIP tent at the Toyota Park show in '07.

The reason I'm inquiring is I'm seriously thinking about attending the Texas shows this year and I would love to hang out with these guys and/or at least meet them during the tailgating!

Please PM or quote this post if you know of these guys. And don't I have their names. But, one always wore a straw cowboy hat...this may or may not help much since this is Texas I'm talking about :lol

Finished the 2nd one last night....

[ExistenceNow]

So Justin and I kinda started a new tradition (new for us, I'm sure others have been doing it for years) at the Gorge last year. Prop bets. Jake did a contest on this site for the Spring tour last year.

Would y'all be interested in a group contest for the Texas shows? I'd throw in a prize, like a Live Trax of your choice, or something from the WH store ~$20. Or hell, maybe a poster if they don't suck this year.

I could do the contest as a google doc form so we could all fill them out from our computers and submit them before the shows.

Thoughts?

[rachfry]

Awesome! I'll definitely come have a beer with you guys! I guess I'll just look for the flag? :)

For the Woodlands show, we pre-party at Baker St and tailgate in the lots for Dallas. We'll have the TXFD flag flying for that one. And maybe put it up somewhere at Baker St if we can. Come drink with us!!

You really don't want to miss it, it's such a great time and you have 2 chances to join! Always up for partying with Austin peeps! I love that place. My brother has lived there for over 25 years now.

Can you PM me your facebook info? Losing that camera was devastating. We lost so many pics. The girls in our group took some, but we're trying to recoup whatever we can.

Justin and I at Fenway is a COMPLETE loss though. We got a ton of field level pictures (first row on first base side) of he and I. :lorraine

Here's a pic of the Texas Fire Dancer Flag flying at SPAC N2 from the balcony. We were sitting where I took the picture from in the lower reserved. We just walked up to the balcony, and Justin climbed out onto the catwalk to tie the flag up there. We had our tickets in these laminates around our necks, so I think the SPAC staff just assumed we were supposed to be doing whatever we ended up doing. :lol

Does anyone know how early people are getting to the gates for a good spot in the pit at the shows this year? I went to Vanderbilt Stadium last year in Nashville and we got there at 6:00 AM and still weren't first in line. Just wondering if anyone knew how early we should show up to get in the front.

It all depends on the venue and the size of the pit. For both nights at spac I didn't get to the pit until after the opener had finished their set and I was only 3-4 ppl back both nights.

Any info on the tailgating situation would be much appreciated. Thank you.


There's no tailgating allowed at the Woodlands normally, as there's no venue specific parking (though apparently they allowed it at the mall for Jimmy Buffet this year... no word on whether or not it will continue for DMB).

We all get together at Baker St. Pub in The Woodlands. It's right by the venue, and they have good drink prices... and AC.

[ExistenceNow]

Thanks for the info.



Yea. The only parking lots by The Pavilion are private business lots, and they don't allow people to hang out and drink in them. The mall let people tailgate for Jimmy Buffet, but I think it was like $20-$30 per car to get into the mall lot and tailgate and like I said, I'm not even sure if they're going to continue that for DMB.

Swing by Baker St. though. It's good times.

[justink]

yeah, we normally get the back room area by the patio/stage at baker's street and just group up. the drink specials are pretty nice, there's cold A/C, and plenty of new people to chat up. in fact, i like it better than tailgating because everyone is kinda forced to sit next to each other and interact where as tailgating can get spread out over a parking lot and people get nervous about just approaching random people sitting around a parking lot if they're not specifically invited.

the only downside to baker's street is you can't really play parking lot games... maybe i can call up there and see if they'd allow us to set up some games on the sidewalk? i doubt it though.

I would've have posted this in DMBc but, for some reason I can't make a new thread.

It's been a crazy month for me. I don't know if many of you
know me on this board, but I've been around awhile. Last week we found out my wife has cancer. They caught it little late, but my wife's a helluva of a fighter. Always has been. Her and I share the same passion for music. We both love spending our summer's trying to catch a show or two.

We were supposed to go to two shows this tour. Woodlands and Dallas. She was so excited when we found out we had pit tickets for each show. My wife had never sat close before. The closest she got was maybe the 30th row. I've had some unexpected medical bills this past week and ended up having to sell them. I haven't told her yet, because it would break her heart. All she talks about is being well enough for these shows.

Now, I'm not the type of person who asks for help from others. I was brought up to earn everything you get. If there is anyway, any of you could help me get her to at least one of these shows. It would mean the world to her.

Thanks,
#34 + 2

I also posted this over at TDC.org. I'm known on that board as Dubs. A paypal account has been setup and I've recieved $90.00 in donations so far. If any ANTS would like to help, paypal email is JWisniewski@gmail.com. Send donations as gift. Thanks again and God Bless.

sweet!! a few tips: plan on getting there early (are you renting a car or taking a taxi/DART/etc.?) If you're taking a taxi, get a styrofoam cooler at a gas station with as much beer as you think you can drink given the amount of time you'll be in the parking lot before the show.

that way, when you decide to meander to the gate, you'll have just run out of beer and can either give your cooler away or tuck it under a car til' after the show, before a taxi comes to pick you up.

love that you can drink there before the show (saves me some money for sure!)

if you're renting a car, get to the lot early (most early partiers show up around 3 or 4pm) so you can park and get started! :thumbsup

You'll most likely be first row outside the pit which is nice. The view will depend on the seat numbers though. Ive sat on the outside aisle in that same sec/row and couldn't see Boyd or Butch. Inside aisle would be seriously prime though.

If you're paying face, grab them for sure. If they're scalped, the worth will depend on the price and seat numbers.

I stayed in Arlington, and getting home, without traffic, was 50 min. Since we're both from Houston, that just makes the drive from reasonably to why the fuck did they put it here? Shitting location + shitty venue for a concert (awesome for soccer though) = me never going to a concert there.

I got a couple PM's about TX Firedancer shirts but no one has confirmed they want one/paid.

High quality t's (heavier than the merch booth shirts but not too heavy). Charcoal grey in color with my avatar on the chest. $20 shipped (priority) to your door. The first few I sent out here were a few bucks cheaper, but I covered the rest for shipping to those folks. I assure you, I'm not profiting at all, I'm probably paying about $50 for my own shirt once I sell the rest in fact. We just made them up because we like the design and to represent TX in a DMB way at out of state shows.

Here's what I have left:

1 XL
3 L
1 S

First come, first served, have them in time for Woodlands and Dallas!

These shows are next on my list... And September 10th is my birthday. Should be a good one.

So the Woodlands falls 5 days after the Gorge. Do you think this will impact the setlist, either positively or negatively? And hopefully the break is just long enough for Dave's voice to recover but the band's playing to still stay really tight.

Gorge will not have ANY impact on the setlists, they will play what they want. As for Dave's voice, Gorge added a wrap to the stage, making it enclosed and reducing the wind on stage. So that should help Dave's voice a lot more.

Just curious which Texans are headed up to Wrigley....are you guys doing the shuttle bus from the Hampton Inn??

Me, Justin and Matthew are all going with 2 wives and 1 best friend in tow. (You met all of us at SPAC minus one wife.) Pretty sure that we're staying with friends but the mode of transport to the venue hasn't been decided yet.

[ExistenceNow]

As of now we are staying at that hotel but we're not taking the shuttle. It leaves for Wrigley too late and returns to the hotel too early for our tastes. I think we're planning on public transportation there and maybe a cab back.

[ExistenceNow]

^ Justin just needs to check with his wifey before we decide definitely to crash with Meg.

[cincydmbfan]

Hello Texas! I pulled the trigger and booked flights, hotels and tickets all in the last 48 hours. I can't wait for this trip!:multi

[thedanman613]

anyone know when instants will drop for this series? i have dallas tickets but i need 3 lawns for woodlands, and want to get wh preferred. i would have thought they would've dropped by now.

I've been waiting forever, I'm pretty sure it will happen, probably next week after Gorge ships.

Yeah, I was pretty hesitant to sign up for the bus, but I did it anyway because I really couldn't think of a better idea. If I end up canceling, it won't be a big deal I guess. Sounded like a good idea at the time...

Any specific preshow plans for Wrigley?

[mposey34]

went to Jack Johnson at CWMP last night and came away with two general thoughts

1. I cannot wait for Sept. 10

2. Please, for the love of crumbcake, please let it cool off before Sept. 10. Even after the storm it was incredibly uncomfortable.

Nothing specific. We'll probably get to Wrigleyville around 1, find something to eat then explore the bars.
We can exchange numbers and I can text you updates as to where we are if you wanna meet up at any point.

I'm expecting upper 80's. Not pleasant concert weather, but that's what we get for living so close to the equator. :rolleyes

I'm coming up as well, flying from Austin sometime between Wed and Friday depending on whether or not I have any tests. Staying with buds so can't do the shuttle but I'll be on the lookout for our glorious flag. Can't wait !:bounce

Also my buddies and I just decided to do Woodlands. If anyone comes across 3 (will take 4) seats, gimme the heads up! DMB the 10th than back to Austin for the first home football game and my best friend 21st on Sixth Street. Gonna be some two weeks!

[GrooGrux420]

Instants up...

[ExistenceNow]

Instants are up. Pit available for both shows still... go get em.


I'm in the same predicament since my friend decided to fly in for the show. I'm still waiting for instants... :BANG

Justin said he snagged a Dallas pit single for you.


Justin and I both snagged Pit pairs for Woodlands too. Fucking righteous!

Wait what? I told him, I snagged a Dallas pit single for you... the one your friend needed. Also picked up a Woodlands pit single, why I have no idea, because I'm going with my mom, eh maybe I might drag my Dad to that show as well...

Maybe that's what he was telling me... Our having the same name is causing confusion.


edit: Yea, he was telling me that you got me one. He just forwarded me your text, so I thought he was telling me to tell you... :lol

[aparker507]

I was in Sec. 101 for the 08 and 09 shows, but WH gave me Sec. 202 again this year. I think I'm gonna stick with these this year as the big screens the band are using look pretty amazing and I want to see the entire stage. Being up close is amazing, but at Little Rock front row, it was hard to take everything in. Plus, when I was in 202 in 07, I got a setlist from Fenton! Can't wait for Dallas this year!

[CarterisGOD41]

Instants up...
GAH just missed woodlands pit, messed up my CC info. at least i got 2 reserveds

[GrooGrux420]

Maybe that's what he was telling me...

Yea... I got excited too and went into a frenzy when I saw Woodlands pit.

[CarterisGOD41]

If anyone snagged extra Pits for Woodlands pleeease look this way :)

[CarterisGOD41]

Yea... I got excited too and went into a frenzy when I saw Woodlands pit.

Scored Woodlands Pit!

Might have Center Row L for sale soon

Good to see both of yall got hooked up though. :thumbsup

Actually... instants were up for a good 15 minutes before they moved. I'm broke with Gorge/Woodlands/Dallas hotel/car rental reservations and books (1200 and still haven't gotten my scholarship check), so I was checking my accounts to see what had enough available to pull the trigger. :lol

Yea, I had time to ask the wife if she wanted to upgrade, have her say "not really", take a phone call from Justin, convince my wife that she really did want to upgrade, then pull the trigger. :lol

Where were you're original seats btw?

LOL so depressing, maybe if I wasn't watching Entourage all day I'd have got there sooner. Fortunately I was able to find cheap textbooks and use only 350 of the 500 I set aside, so this was do-able on spot. If only I had entered my damn credit card number right :BANG

Oh well, just glad to snag pavillions at face without having to worry. Still need 2 more, but I knew Instants couldn't do that for me

I know the feeling, I set aside $750, but still wasn't enough and had to throw the rest on my CC. My one organic chemistry class is costing $450 in books. :eek

WOW that is a nightmare. I found my Advertising textbook for 50 shipped - the same one UT Co-op wanted 190 for.

Have you looked into renting through Chegg? I'm a big highlighter/underliner so it doesn't quite float my boat - but if you aren't than it seems better than buying the book.

I was sitting with Justin in 102L. We have 4 there.

yeah, but the problem is, my professor is a pain in the ass and wants to use a few online testing piece of shits. It was just easier to pick up the bundles vs. piecing everything else out.

[CarterisGOD41]

If those 4 become available by any chance let me know. would even deliver a full keg to your house on any saturday/sunday morning, if such gifts are allowed on these boards :lol

Yup same BS in my spanish class. Only allowed text is the "UT bundle". Such a jip :rolleyes

EDIT: Nevermind.

[nickcua]

If anyone needs to unload woodlands preferred lawns, please look my way. need 4 total, will take however many you have though up to 4.

freakin noob friends :)

[ExistenceNow]

I'm kinda suffering some letdown after yesterday. It was so exciting in here for about an hour, now we're back to counting down the days. :lol :lorraine


Thankfully I've got Shoreline a week from tomorrow to tide me over.

[justink]

I'm stoked. But I'm also worried it might be ruined.

It seems like more and more shows I see are ruined by young rookie drinkers who think the world is their movie and we're all just extras.

I'm adopting a zero tolerance policy on obnoxious chatters and stifler/lohan concert neighbors.

I don't foresee any issues in The Woodlands pit, since it's so small. It should be mostly WH members. Dallas pit on the other hand...

[cincydmbfan]

Evening Texas!:multi The Blossom pit was small and there still was a huge fight right behind me. The worst part about it was security had no way of getting there fast enough.

[justink]

^ good point. But that doesn't keep dumbasses from spending a lot of money on stubhub.

And in my experience (from chatting them up before the show), the most obnoxious are those who either spent a shitload on tix so they feel entitled to act however they want or their "daddy" bought the tix for them, which pretty much means the same thing.

One good thing about a GA set up is you can walk away from douchslags.

Just be glad it isn't the lawn...at Tampa we saw a HS chick take her shorts off and piss smack-dab right in the grass.

I was like, :trap!!!!

[justink]

^ that, I might be down for. So long as she keeps her trap shut.
