since you can't tailgate in the parking lot...unless the new owners changed the rule...we'll be grillin' on the side road that leads from Polaris Parkway into the parking lot. more details will be posted once I find out when the parking lot opens. as of right now, i would say that we're gonna be there 2-3 hours before the lot opens so we can get some fine cookin in.

peace!

[JC10380]

Is tailgating allowed in your parking lot?
If your definition of "tailgating" is drinking alcoholic beverages, then it is not allowed by Ohio law. The law does not allow open containers of alcohol or consumption in public areas. Agents with the Ohio Department of Liquor Control patrol the amphitheater parking lots and issue citations or make arrests for violations on their own accord. Guests using grills or having picnics in the parking area create a safety concern and disrupt foot and auto traffic flow.


That's taken from the Polaris website. That "law" stuff is bullshit. For Ohio State football we drink wherever the hell we want, and the cops don't mess with anyone. It also says that the parking lot opens 2 hours before show time, so you might want to get there earlier than 2 hours for a cook out. Just a heads up, and I've never noticed a cook out slowing down traffic in the lot, what are people doing, setting up their grills in the middle of the road, give me a break.

We'll find somewhere I'm sure.

Maybe the people at OSU games probably just don't give to shits, so they let it go. Then again, there are riots after you beat UM :lol

As for cooking at Polaris, here's what we did at the two shows last year. We got there about two hours before the lot opened. So for a 7pm show when the lots opens at 5, we got there at three. Since they don't let you enter teh lot, you wind up just staying parked on the little road leading from the main road into the lot. People all hang out there and play frisbee, hack, and the hungry ones cook out. There's no grilling in the lot, so we grill on the road, which becomes a remporary parking lot before teh actual lot opens...if that makes any sense.

Hopefully that cleared a little up.

[rcarlsn612]

i plan to bring beer and a cup, maybe some captain morgans actually, and if it seems like its not a prob i'll drink, and if not i'll get inside and start

[The J2H]

just make sure the cup isn't clear...i met a kid last summer who was drinking under the age and the cops busted him and gave him a nice little court appearance date, lol

what i think i might do is just bring some coke cans and convert the beer over. i just think it might not be worth the effort of transferring the liquids

[prelawmike07]

I'm definitely bringing some Jagermeister, chilled on ice of course!

Hey, rcarlsn612, I see that your 21st is a week before the show... we'll definitely have to celebrate!!!

I usually buy the smaller bottle of Jager, but I think I might go all out and get the BIGGEST I can find!

[rcarlsn612]

yes my 21st is the week before, seeing as how i graduated in 2000 and all my friends are 21, its a long time coming, i hope to get crushed the 1st night, then ease off till i get in the 2nd night so i remember everything:D When I drink I drink very very heavily

hopefully there will be no vicodin around this year:o

Great idea, I'll do that too.

Hey, I remembered you said you were going to Jason Mraz at Headliners, do you have taping equipment or know someone that does? I would like to get that show taped if we can. If you don't know anyone I might look into getting some taping equipment, or something I can use.

Unfortunately, I have no taping equipment. I know people with minidisc recorders, but that's about the extent of any taping "equipment" I would have access too. I myself would love to get a copy of the show if possible.

wow, the alpine thread is kicking this thread's ass...not that i'm totally surprised. i would venture to guess alpine is a bigger pull, but come on guys...the Big P is the first stop on the tour...are you gonna let us get showed up by the Cheese State?

on a side not...this is post number 111 for me in this thread along...crazy

This thread won't be vindicated until someone from the Ants.org Staff posts a message in it. Don't ask me where this came from, but I all of a sudden realized this. Hopefully our first post from an Ants Staff member won't be the last one by way of a lock down. I think we don't have to worry about that, seeing a how we all get along just fine in here. We'll just have to wait and see though.

Someone needs to start a countdown to Polaris...I'm too lazy to do it right now, either that or my eyelids are just too far shut to worry aboot that right not. (Yes, I know I put aboot)

EDIT: 67 days intil Polaris (not including today, 4.11)

What do you think we think?

POLARIS!!!!

Actually, I would go to both, or all four as it were.:D

[prelawmike07]

I will be at both venues, but take my word for it: the lawn @ Riverbend SUCKS!!!

[DMBdude79]

Lawn does suck at Riverbend, which is a good thing I got 2 Pavilion seats for both shows. If I had it to do over again, I'd go out on a boat and sit on the river before I go back to lawn here.

there's a pretty awesome All DMB radio station broadcasted every Sunday from 11pm-2am. You can get the link to the live feed at the following site:

a travel propane grill, eh? SCHWEEEET!!!!

[The J2H]

as usual, jon is all alone in the Polaris thread...

...and what's with still no Ants Staff wanting to grace us with a simple little post? i'm sad now...

[Mongoose]

I have reserved for the first night and then lawn for the second, no idea on seat assingments yet. Hoping for front row though.

[rockyracoon]

i have best available for both nights.... i dont care where i'm sittin for the polaris shows.... i just want to know where i'll be for the palace.... im starting to get really impatient

i'm calling the warehouse and telling them to resell your tickets, or to scalp them on ebay so they can make some money to afford a new computer system that doesn't take 8 years to assign seats

Any one else excited about the great weather we are having today, its going to be a solid 81 when I get out of school in 10 min I can go out side play a little guitar, take it nice and easy. :)

[Mongoose]

almost hit second page - top

[GreyStreet40]

i went to the range for my first golf experience of the year.....wow lets just say its a good thing it was me and maybe 4other people there i made such a fool of myself. i think i litereally missed the ball 10times. so sad.

[Mongoose]

nothing wrong with that, one time I went to the range I threw my club out in the field, another I ran my cart into a tree, I was aided in the process of that though.

[The J2H]

i can't believe that you all let this hit the second page...

just for that, my ass is going to bed!

[JC10380]

Shot a 101 today, and didn't break any clubs. I broke my pitching wedge last year throwing it into a tree, I threw some today, but not at any trees. To The Top, Bed.

[JC10380]

I can't believe we let this hit the second page again. Oh the shame. Anyway, Front page.

[Joe M.]

Ok. I'm going to join this thread finally. I haven't read it though.

Anyone going to Foo? Ticket presale at 1.

[GreyStreet40]

we got us our mod now

[Mongoose]

haha last time I went golfing I grabbed 4 really old putters and put them in my bag and when I missed a put I snapped it over my knee and went nuts throwing it, my friends didnt know I had it, so they were freaking out that I broke my club, I broke the rest at random points during the day, it was quite funny.

[GreyStreet40]

thats hilarious. i cant say that i have broken any of my clubs yet.

[JC10380]

Sort of off topic, but what's the best quality cd-r? Any opinions or favorites? This probably doesn't belong here, but Polaris is playing catch up. This seemed like the perfect spot for that.

so I might not have to get a hotel while we go to the concert, my girlfriend's colelge roommate might be able to let us stay at her house for the two nights we'll be there. but if we need to get a hotel, that's cool.

and with that, i think i'm off to sleepy land, keep on posting here like crazy fellas, we've almost caught up with those crazy alpine folks!!!

61 days...

id be all about golfing the day of the concert.......but i have stupid summer classes in the afternoon.

I would be up for a nice round of nine, I know a few good cheap places.

[The J2H]

i don't know if anyone else caught it, but someone posted what hotel they normally stay at when they're in columbus as well as where they have eaten lunch the past few times.

i'm not gonna post it on here though, no need for people to be hanging around their hotel

Thats cool, I just turned in my application for Forest Park Police Dept.

[Mongoose]

I'll help out a bit, nothing much has been going on here, I have to go to the dentist then I go help a friend move, a little dinner thing then its D-Day for my liver, my friends dad is coming to claim a bunch of stuff after he ran out on his wife and son. so its a little bit of a goal to drink as much expensive liquor as we can, 6 guys plus a pretty much endless supply of top shelf liquor. Haha only good things will come. Take it easy

[Mongoose]

I'll add a little story here to keep the guys in the polaris thread entertained.

The Scioto River flows at a fairly leisurely pace during the summer, before any big rains have flooded it. There are a few places that my friends I found to sit back and enjoy the calm and serene beauty that the river holds. During the summer it is nice and warm and looks pretty inviting, well at least it seems to beckon to you. It was during one day in July thinking of things to do my friend Heath came about with the idea we should raft it.
After a quick run to Wal-Mart, we were equipped with the supplies for our adventure. We bought two one-person $9.99 rafts and a set of paddles. The launch point was scouted and the take out point was located and marked. Using a stick and a ribbon found on riverside drive. After driving the run we had determined it to be around a 3-hour journey. The rafts were inflated and a launch time was set. The afternoon was chosen because it had already become too late to leave that day.

[Mongoose]

The morning arrived and the sun shined through a little set of clouds high in the sky. Cars were left at the put in and the take out, the keys were dropped in the cooler to be safe and we climbed down the steep hill to the river below the dam. Despite the tumbles on the way down all were safe and the trip began. The Rafts floated well, less than effortlessly down the river. All in all it was a perfect day, the sun was shining it was a balmy 85 and the river was warm and surprising not too dirty. It was about 2 feet deep and you were able to see most of the life beneath you. Fish that swam by in schools, the occasional turtle on the banks, it was a very scenic trip. We talked and drank from the cooler, as the floated calmly down the river. After the cooler was emptied of certain fermented beverages. I deemed it necessary to empty the ice into the river, and in one swift motion of my arms out it went. Keys and all, as soon as I threw out the ice I remembered the keys and dived out of my raft in a futile attempt to secure the keys to our ride home. After about twenty minutes of searching, hope was no longer an option as our keys were abandoned and we floated on, the keys on the other hand did not join us though the rest of the day.
There wasn’t much said after I threw away both sets of keys. I tried to make small talk avoiding the fact I had lost one of two keys my friend had to his car and the fact we had no phone and no one to call. After about an hour, and a few ranting arguments later, we were back on good grounds with each other. We arrived at the take out point, and found a small woman in her forties who was willing to let us use her phone to try to a ride. After a few minutes of trying to get someone, anyone to pick up our sunburnt and wet bodies. My grandma found it in her heart to come and pick us up. We got our extra sets of keys and picked up our cars. For the next days, it slowly grew as a joke and as a story to tell. By the end of the week, it came to be realized that those were two of the most memorable days of the summer. That some things end up becoming more beneficiary then thought a short time ago, and if all goes sour all you can do is make the best of what’s around.

i know i'm gonna sound like a bitter detroit fan , but jesus christ the ducks got all the breaks in that series.... they were so lucky.... anyone who watched very game of it will agree

[JC10380]

I wouldn't say the Ducks got all the breaks, but they got almost every bounce. The only one they didn't get was Federov's centering attempt that went of Giguere and in to tie it in the 3rd period.

I love pointless posts like one. Playing Catch Up.

Edit-By the way, I hate the Wings, and every other team from Michigan.

Last night might have been a lucky night, but what about the 3 previous games? It's too bad Coach Babcock left Cincy because they didn't even make the playoffs in the AHL this year.

where all the love for polaris?

this thread is disappointing me...

[JC10380]

I heard something about them possibly moving the ampitheatre. Not really "moving" Polaris, but moving the ampitheatre further into Delaware County. All the rich snobs are pissed about the noise it generates. I'm sure they knew it was there before they moved, there used to be nothing up there before the venue was put in. Just posting this, I found it interesting.

NOOO! they can't move Polaris, i know exactly how to get there from up here in NW ohio by heart

[DMBdude79]

I must not have paid attention last year when I was there because I thought it was in the middle of a bunch of businesses. I'll have to look more closely this year because I have to drive this time.

Are you having a little get together tonight?

[Maggie]

Alright, so I am skipping class right now and getting excited about the shows this summer! I am a newbie to this thread, but I will be going to both shows so I had to get involved. This will be my first time in Columbus besides when I drive through it from Lexington, KY (school) to Pittsburgh, PA (home). What are the pre and post show plans? Where is the best place to stay? How is the traffic?

Maggie

[prelawmike07]

Well... welcome to Ants! As far as the show goes, your pre-show plans BETTER include the AntsMarching summer tour kick-off BBQ:) I'm not too sure what's going after the show. Traffic will only be a problem if you plan to arrive at Polaris during rush hour.

I hope this helps!

Cheers.

[JC10380]

Yeah having a little party. Just a couple kegs and some Dave in the background.

I am going to both shows at Polaris (still will be that name for me) and I was wondering the time for the kick off cook out? Also,
whether or not should we expect the band in town that previous weekend? Looking forward to the shows. Bye for now.

[dmb2much40]

it'll be a couple hours before the show...and i would think the band will be in town a t least a day or two before hte show. it's the first of the tour and they've gotta do a soundcheck and stuff, get ready to kick off:D

[GreyStreet40]

assuming that the parking lot still opens 2 hours prior to the gates of the amphitheater, we'll probably begin cooking out 4 hours before they doors are scheduled to open. that will give us 2 good hours of cooking while we're parked on the road leading into the lot.

[The J2H]

58 days!!!

also, Happy Easter!

[The J2H]

well, it's that time of night when i must bid you all farewell.

i think i will go watch the conclusion of Spirited Away, and then proceed directly into my daily slumber...

until we meet again, sometime tomorrow night, unless i kill someone at work and get sent to jail, goodnight my polaris threaders...

hey to all of the POLARIS fans out there. what's going on with everyone? having a good easter? sure hope so. just wanted to tell everyone hello...can't wait til the shows.

[Mongoose]

I'm just leaving for easter dinner, this better be at the top when I come back.

[Brut26]

Thanks for the info on the Kick Off BBQ!! Its too bad I have to work till 5pm. Darn!
Shall be a great two night stand!
Any ideas (wants) for the first song of the tour! 2000 tour first show tour was in Columbus, it was Warehouse.
Happy Easter!!
See You all there!

[Mongoose]

I am going to call a best of whats around opener.......well hoping for a best of whats around opener

[JC10380]

5 behind Alpine. They're dying out.

I wanna see a What You Are opener, lots of emotion in that song from the bands standpoint. All the boys can jam it out and Dave can yell to get the crowd into it.

[dmb2much40]

hoping for warehouse opener

[The J2H]

57 days...

[The J2H]

i revived that Alpine thread, and now they've increased the lead from what is was at...keep on posting!!!

[The J2H]

jokingly I'm gonna say they'll start the tour with Last Stop...

but realisitically I'm thinking they'll open with Billies

[The J2H]

man, I'm helping out the Alpine thread too much

i need to be supporting the home team...

c'mon everyone, where are you at?!?!

[DMBdude79]

I can't even begin to imagine what might be the opener. All I know is that I'll be five rows back enjoying the show, and if I can get a ticket for a special someone then it would make the night that much better but it's probably not going to happen.

Anyway, I'm doing my best to keep this at the top even though I'm not much of a regular.

well post when you can, and that works just fine...

hopefully you find what you're looking for. my suggestion is to keep checking instant tickets everyday around 10

[The J2H]

my goal is to get back within five before I head off to bed...

hopefully I won't be the only one posting to get to that point...

where are my peeps at?

[The J2H]

well for those of you who didn't catch that i heard some rumors abut where the band is staying in columbus, i've decided how i will disclose that info, which may in fact just be a rumor...

i'll let anyone who comes to the KOCO know the stuff I've heard.

(KOCO= Kick Off Cook Out, for those of you who are confused)

I'll be at the kickoff cookout, but I wanted to know beforehand.

[Mongoose]

For the KOCO we should make a list or a sign up of stuff to bring so we dont have 5 grills and 0 other things, just a idea.

[JC10380]

This should tie it up. Got some errands to run, keep it going.

[Mongoose]

anyone one in the polaris thread want a free two year subscription to STUFF magazine

heres the link

http://www.magazine-city.net/stuff/stuff.asp

[JC10380]

I completed the link, does it actually work? I hope so, free shit is awesome.

[rockyracoon]

somethin tells me that they will open up with 'ants' ..... but i've never been right before so why should i be now.... this should put us 2 ahead of alpine

[Maggie]

so what is this KOCO? I tried to go back thru the thread to find it, but I guess I didnt go back far enough! I cant get much reading done when I am jumping on the computer between classes!!!

I am so excited!!!

Maggie
slickmp@yahoo.com

[JC10380]

KOCO is the Kick off cook out. Its gonna be happening on the road leading to the parking lot at Polaris, since they don't allow tailgating. Have to get there early.

[Mongoose]

Yeah it will definatly be a good time, I cant wait till june

[Mongoose]

What does everyone think of daves new solo album that is going to come out, good, bad, looking forward, not looking forward?

[lou52onu]

I can't wait.. and I think it's going to be awesome


so when and where are we meeting...who's bringing what...ect ect

anyone going to bring their guitars to jam?

[Mongoose]

We dont have a real definate time frame yet but in general I would say a 1:30 or 2:00 before the gates to the parking lot open. I had thought about bringing my guitar, who knows. Do you play?

[The J2H]

Alright...I'm so glad someone thought of making a list for the KOCO. Before we make a list, let's just wee what everyone has available to bring. Plus, depending on how many people we have planning on coming, we'll determine what we need to bring. Either way, I'm probably buying a new little travel grill since I'm doing a lot of travelling this summer. Also list how many people you have coming.

As of right now, looks like there will be 7 in my group.

Also, what does everyone want to cook. I know some people who make some pretty mean marinades for steak and whatnot.

Finally, I must say it's a proud proud day for me to see us climb above the Alpine thread finally. We had the lead in the beginning, and now it is ours once more. Let's not lose it this time!!!

Peace out!

[GreyStreet40]

theres a definate 2 and maybe 4more in my group so so i could be bringing 6along with me. i can bring some burgers and some hot dogs to grille. i like the idea of bringing the guitars to play. who all plays? im just learning so im not to good but i enjoy playing.

[lou52onu]

I play a little...I try. My brother who will be w/ me can jam.

I think we might have one of those camping grills at home. That would save you from buying one but the more grills the better....

[rockyracoon]

i'll bring whatever the hell you guys want me to bring..... but i'm definately bringin the 'greens':D ...... i mean for the salads , of course

[Mongoose]

I can play, not well, but can play, songs I could be able to play with someone or by myself are limited to
Lie in our graves (can play tims part in the jam, not the solo, but what he plays before the reprise)
crazy (old style captin)
Say goodbye
Proudest Monkey (gotta list it)
Grey street
dancing nancies
little thing
halloween
cryptochid
spotlight
bluewater
typical situation

songs that hopefully I can play by the KOCO

stay or leave
last stop
ants
song that jane likes

WOW I just made a big promise, I need to make sure I have all these down or in reasonable form in less than 60 days.

[Mongoose]

let me see if I can find it, or just transcribe real quick

[The J2H]

I'm willing to bet that only some people can bring grills. So perhaps the best would be to have some people bring grills, and those who can't bring grills bring the items to be grilled. I'm not sure. I'm gonna start making a list of how many people to expect. I think I'm gonna make a huge banner or something, so that everyone knows where the KOCO is going down. Let me know what you all think.

Rocky...good to see you again!

[Mongoose]

k here it is

I am working on absolute independance of all areas of my body, so like this hand will like you know eventully be able to go down to..uh you know...the corner by itself and uh buy me a bag so that I'm not....(appluse SP?).....that just came to me I've never been to the corner for that.........of grocerys and uh....so I'm gonna be quite now. oh settle down I'm talking about grocerys over here.

[Mongoose]

As of right now between 1 and 4, it depends if my friends want to come eary for the KOCO

[lou52onu]

just me and my bro

[rockyracoon]

im just throwin this out there for you all to pick at..... what do you guys think of havin the koco in the parking of the hotel that i/we/all will be stayin at.... would it be easier for people to come? will it be less crowded? throw some opinions at me

[Mongoose]

then you dont get good spots in the parking lot and the traffic getting into the place near the time of the concert will be next to impossible

[rockyracoon]

good point..... my only question is will we get booted off the road leading to the venue? are they down with a bunch of people parking and hangin out on that little road?

it wasn't any problem last year. i just need to find out exactly which road we were on last year. if i recall correctly, there are three entrances from polaris parkway into the parking lot. i want to say we were on the second one last year, and there were people all around cooking, drinking, whatever... i like the idea of having the KOCO at your hotel, but first year i went to polaris, we were running late and the traffic sucked pretty bad. that would be my only worry. i'm on the lawn as well, so i want to make sure i get my usual spot at frint and center

Hey man~

I will definitely jam with you. We'll do a sweet rendidtion of LIOG! If I have enough to drink, I also like to sing, so maybe this will turn into a cookout concert! My personal favs to play include LIOG, Grey Street, I really like doing the old-school Bartender >> DDTW, Halloween, Ants (it's really easy, should only take you a few minutes to learn it), The Stone (although I cannot sing along for the life of me!), #40, #41... wow, I seem to be rambling! Okay, so I lve playing them all! I just learned Stay or Leave the other day, and it is a blast to play!

My personal favs to play include LIOG, Grey Street, I really like doing the old-school Bartender >> DDTW, Halloween, Ants (it's really easy, should only take you a few minutes to learn it), The Stone (although I cannot sing along for the life of me!), #40, #41... wow, I seem to be rambling! Okay, so I lve playing them all! I just learned Stay or Leave the other day, and it is a blast to play!

Sounds pretty good, this little or soon to not be little KOCO is gonna be the place to be

I'm willing to bet that only some people can bring grills. So perhaps the best would be to have some people bring grills, and those who can't bring grills bring the items to be grilled. I'm not sure. I'm gonna start making a list of how many people to expect. I think I'm gonna make a huge banner or something, so that everyone knows where the KOCO is going down. Let me know what you all think.

Rocky...good to see you again!


I've got a kick ass lil Thermos travel grill that has the George Foreman like griddles that uses 1lb propane tanks.
And I'll be going by myself but might have my lil cousin stop by.

As far as my seat though, I still can't get over my luck so I'll post again that I'm 5th row just right of center. Columbus has been very good for me b/c I picked up a 20th row center ticket a month before the first night. And I barely made it in time b/c of traffic so I'm all about getting there early.

We blew Alpine out of the water. Now lets set our collective sights on COMERICA.

I am bringing the exact same grill... I'll probably bring burgers or something... I am getting VERY excited!!!

EDIT: And I, too, will be making the journey to C-bus by myself.

yep, i've been in that spot every year i've had lawn seats at the BIg P. that's actually how we're suppose to meet up with a few guys we met at the shows last year this go round.

maybe you'll remember, maybe not...but during GIG last year there was a crazy old drunk dude who helds his hands above his head like he was prazying during that entire song. that's one of many things i don't forget about that night...

yeah, i have a feeling this isn't going to be a little thing...

but we'll all know it was created by the number one 2003 venue thread...

when it gets closer to that time, someone remind me and everyone else to make a phone list...

excellent idea... the last thing i want is to make all of these plans, make the drive up there early, and not find anyone! and then i'll be stuck by myself with a grill and a guitar.

although, with a grill and guitar, i'm sure you'd attract people. those two items are tailgate magnets!

[prelawmike07]

i will definitely feel the effects of this late night when i drag myself out of bed tomorrow morning... or maybe i'll skip my 9:30 and sleep in!! Nonetheless, have i mentioned how pumped i am for KOCO??? it'll go down in history!!! it'll be so big that next year dave will decide to do a solo gig with us. the party will be more of a draw than the concert itself!!! Okay... i REALLY need to start thinking about falling asleep!

[The J2H]

*28 people
*4 grills
