39 Days! (I wonder if they'll play #39?...its a sweet song)

Yup...getting kinda excited. I'm in the back of the upper Pavillion for both shows

Night 1 - Sec 9, Row Y
Night 2 - Sec 7, Row O

but I have sweeter seats for the Toronto show 3 days after...so I'll be ok.

It is a sweet song, but its not going to happen. They haven't played it since '97.



In case you're wondering, Let You Down is #39, according to am.org.

i don't know about that. i think they put it on WH5 vol 3 for a reason, hinting that it would be played again.

Does anyone know why they havent played Let You Down since then? Maybe it's because of legal things like they could have been accused of copying someone else's song? Thats just a complete guess, but it sounds likea good theory to me.

no, if you look in the crash cd sleeve, LYD is copyrighted to the band (Colden Grey) and stefan. if it were somone else's song, they would have to acknowledge that in the cd sleeve.

05-19-2004, 11:58 PM
I'm the master of panic :ugh: attacks, sadly to say. tell him to get on Cladzapin or paxil CR... I'm on both fro my xtreme anxiety and now I could walk into star lake naked and not care. They make it allllll right, tell him to check with his doctor.
Side affects include xtreme poo, :monkey no really it does
( I feel like a doctor now)

05-20-2004, 12:04 AM
He says he gets mini panic attacks. Hasn't gone to a concert since the mid ninties, because of that. I feel bad bc I asked him back in the middle of March, we had just met and he said yes so he could spend more time with me. At that time we were both figuring, maybe by then we'll be close to becoming a couple. Haha. It took ten days after meeting eachother. Anywho, rambling.

Well, my gf and I are coming down for both nights and she doesnt want to see the shows...her main interest is the Pittsburg Zoo!. She is excited about the Toronto show but she sees no point in hitting 3 shows in a row. Anyway...he could go to the Zoo with my gf....lol.

I was explaining the point of going to more than one night of a stop, which I'm doing this summer. You can't hear half of their songs if you go to one night, you gotta go to both (or all three in some cases). But that is expensive and I'm hoping my friends decide to be nice and pay me back for their tickets.

I might end up selling Matthew's ticket or taking somebody else!!! Panic attacks... Grrrr. It's bad enough that he's not going to have a good time and he's not as into the band as I am but my first show is going to be ruined because I'll be worried about him the whole time!!! :(

I was thinking a smoke before going in would help calm him. Don't think he'd be into that though. :lol

I take Xanax for my panic attacks... I'm ok at concerts, but i haven't been to a show since i started bad ones around January. Just because there weren't any shows to go to. I hope i'm ok with the big crowd, now i'm worried. but xanax helps me out. he should def. go to the doctor and get medicine. he'll feel good.

Oh my gosh, I thought you were serious for a second! Wow. You must have seen my thread in nDMBc about Italian men. But yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if at least a few people knew of him as such. Nah, I'm playing. ANYWHO! He is 27 so she probably didn't go to school with him or anything.

The reason I came in here was to call attention to the want ad in my signature. Cause I was thinking I'd take my boyfriend, who will probably be my husband by the time Gorge '05 rolls around. He doesn't liek the band that much, doesn't like the crowds, as I said, doesn't drink anymore, and won't let me drink or smoke. :( No fun. So I figure someone in the Pittsburgh area would be up for it. In fact, maybe a small group. That would be fun. Plenty of time to plan for it, eh? :) So what if I'll probably be a newlywed.... :lol

I am definatly up for partying before and after the show though. Planning on camping at bennet acres.

hmmmm.... I found out that I'll be at B.ACRES now, not Racoon. Well, Racoon on the 25th, then b.acres, nights of the concert.. so I want in on all the fun. What is the official "sign" that you are an ant for the campgrounds. Is there a way that we can put our user name, ie. Domm41 on something, like a piece of contruction paper, given that it's not raining, outside our tents, with "ANT" next to it? Meeting some of y'all would make this site and its threads so much more fun. :monkey

Camping by the lake sounds cool, i have never been to bennet acres- i have a question about directions for anyone that has been there.
If i was pulling out of starlakes' parking lot would i make a right? or a left? and then what- i know it's only like a mile and a half away.

whether you come north on rt. 18 from washington, pa, east on rt. 22 from weirton, wv or west on 22 from pittsburgh, you can't miss it. maybe if you just type in burgettstown, pa from where you are coming, you can get directions to that. it is impossible to miss. hope that helps

ticket give away 6/27 Star Lake

long story short, my g/f of 7 1/2 years and 19 shows together, 25 total for me, have decided it is in our best interest to take 2 months off to evaluate our situation. so, i now have an extra ticket for the 6/27 show, sec 7 row z. not the best, but center stage. instead of selling it, i would like to treat someone to a show, preferably someone who has never been, only i can't think of a good/fair way to do it. so i am looking for suggestions on how to give this away, you know, some sort of contest maybe, i don't know. help me out...

Wow! What a long strange trip it's been these past few weeks. Just wanted to check in with the Starlake thread to see who's going to be camping at Raccoon Creek S.P.? 14 days and gearing up already!

whether you come north on rt. 18 from washington, pa, east on rt. 22 from weirton, wv or west on 22 from pittsburgh, you can't miss it. maybe if you just type in burgettstown, pa from where you are coming, you can get directions to that. it is impossible to miss. hope that helps

hey thanks

if you're coming from buffalo and taking rt. 79? down to pittsburgh...when you get near pittsburgh, make sure you take 22 and go around the city and not through it...we missed the veer off last year and it cost us about an extra half hour-45 minutes to get through the city

sounds like you veered left onto I-279 just south of Cranberry. yeah, you gotta stay to the right there to stay on 79 otherwise you be going through pittsburgh. another 10 or so miles past that, you will run into rt. 22/30 (follow sign to airport.) go a few miles to where 22 splits from 30 and goes towards weirton. there is a sign before the split for post-gazette. approx. 15 miles on 22 west to the post. can't miss it, especially if you are coming a little later cause you will be sitting in traffic long before the exit.

good luck finding someone who knows when the construction will be done, hell, they don't even know when they will be done!! :lol

if you go through bridgeville, you might as well just take 50 to 18. same distance as 79 to 22, but much better traffic..

the bridgeville exit off of I-79 is rt.50. south hills village, let me think. you would be near rt 19 then right?? mclaughlin run rd or gilkeson/painters run rd both take you to bridgeville and rt. 50. once on 50, it's about 15 miles to rt 18. then north to star lake

i'm not exactly sure...i talked to them and they said they were 1-2 miles down from the ampitheatre on the same road the ampitheater is on. does that sound right to anyone who's been there before?

also, i'm coming from cleveland. mapquest has me taking 80E to OH 11, then hooking up to US 30. from there, jump on PA 168 which turns into 18. does that sound close?

as for the concert i can't wait. unfortunately i'm broke and couldn't aford tickets to both nights, so went for the second one (as i did last year). last year was my first dave concert, and that was friggin sweet as hell. i can't wait for the 27th for the concert and some tailgating before as well.

Camping by the lake sounds cool, i have never been to bennet acres- i have a question about directions for anyone that has been there.
If i was pulling out of starlakes' parking lot would i make a right? or a left? and then what- i know it's only like a mile and a half away.
Camping by the lake isn't cool ... unless I am thinking of some other place .. last year - the thing they called the lake was NASTY and gross looking.

the last time we went - we literally sat in the car for 2 hours because we didn't know anyone - and we didn't know how kosher it would be to walk up to someone and start partying. (i was plain out scared) :BANG :lol

sounds like you veered left onto I-279 just south of Cranberry. yeah, you gotta stay to the right there to stay on 79 otherwise you be going through pittsburgh. another 10 or so miles past that, you will run into rt. 22/30 (follow sign to airport.) go a few miles to where 22 splits from 30 and goes towards weirton. there is a sign before the split for post-gazette. approx. 15 miles on 22 west to the post. can't miss it, especially if you are coming a little later cause you will be sitting in traffic long before the exit.

hey!! I just reread this and realized I must've had a few more drinks than I thought when I wrote this. ;) anywhoo, coming down 79, you need to take the Rt. 60N exit towards Airport/Moon Run, merge onto Stuebenville Pike which becomes Rt. 22. follow that straight out to the pavilion. sorry about that. :twak

06-16-2004, 07:24 PM
If you are exiting Starlake then you would make a left. A mile and a half down the road should be signs that say campground 500 ft. Just look out on your left for a road, it is really dusty and old so just keep your eyes glued. Just watch out because if you get too drunk you might end up on the highway again. Do not get all the way to the right.

I seriously can't till the 26th it seems like it can't get here soon enough. I'm arriving at BA around 8 pm on the 25th so if anyone wants to party just hit me up. E mail me and I'll let you know my cell phone number or something.

I gave those directions to Matt since he is accompanying me to the first night. He seems to think they don't make sense.. but he's good at finding places. At least I know no to use Mapquest.

I just joined in on this thread. It seems their is a lot of concern and confusion about Bennett Acres, so I thought I'd help out. I will be at Starlake with a group of my friends from Baltimore. I am flying in from Atlanta and we are driving up to Pitt Saturday afternoon. We'll arrive at Bennett Acres, set up shop and head to the parking lot for tailgating. I camped last year at Bennett Acres for the first time. I must say it was one of the best experiences of my life. We had so much fun, met such great people, and saw 2 sick shows.

For the 411 on Bennett Acres, I can give you some info that I have collected and that I have pulled from other message boards.

1. No, they do not take reservations for those who are tent camping. If you have an RV or pop-up camper, you can make reservations. Last year, I too was concerned as I have an 5 hr. drive. After being there, I realized that the reservations are unneccessary. The place has 96 acres of camping area which is enough to facilitate every person at the venue. If you want a really cool spot, arrive early but non-the-less, you'll find a spot. Most people tend to arrive the day of the first show and setup camp just hours before the show. I've been told by the campground staff that they have NEVER come even close to filling up.

2. The price per person per night is $10. However, this year, I heard they have raised the rate to $15 per person on the nights of the shows.

3. The showers are decent and have plenty of hot water. It sure ain't the Ritz. They tend to lock up the showers late at night due to problems in the past with vandals. Bring flip-flops as the shower floor is a breeding ground for athelete's foot.

4. There are port-a-potties all over the place. I recommend you don't pitch camp too close to one. They are cleaner than the ones you'll use at the parking lot but I still don't want to sleep next to one.

5. Campfires are allowed and if you don't want to bring your own firewood or can't find the room to bring it, you can purchase some onsite. Its not at all expensive.

6. Their is a food store about 3-5 miles away. Also, their is a liquor store!!

7. Not sure about an exact address, but its very easy to find. When you get off the exit, the venue is to the right. The campground is to the left. You'll see a sign.

Anything else I can help clarify, shoot me an IM (Jason0876) or email: Jbrave87@aol.com

I look forward to meeting a bunch of you. If you see a kid with a blue Florida Gators hat, it's probably me! We'll have a decent size group with us. Feel free to stop and say hi.

-Jason

Hey, I have an extra ticket to the 6/27 show since my friend can no longer use it and I want to find someone who will actually appreciate the music with me. I have sec 4 row H seats 1 and 2. I am coming down from northern PA (sharon/hermitage) and if you're along the way and need a ride i'll pick you up. I am from the U of Pitt and anyone around that area I could also probably pick up. I also have a premiere parking pass so I can get out quick after the show. I won't charge for the ticket since they were a birthday gift but I would really rather bringing someone who will really enjoy the music instead of someone who is just going with me cause its a free concert. Let me know if anyone is interested. ;)

i'm thinking the earliest i could get there would be 9 because it's a 2 and a half hour drive from cleveland and i work until 5:30. since you're going to be there earlier, you can pick the spot. i'm unfamiliar with bennett acres so i couldn't tell you a good spot. could you call us or maybe tell the people at the front desk or something? i'm not sure about this one.

it worked in 2002 - night 2 - that's the only other show i've ever been to - and the crowd went nuts, of course, i was RUSHING to the bathroom - so i missed most of it (see my signature)

either way - i personally am looking forward to hearing something different this time - they've played two step as an encore for the past 2 years at starlake - i think in 2002 they played it both nights!!!!

how about something crazy and off the wall?

This is for the lot since we won't be camping this year. :( Who all wants to get together in the lot? We plan on getting there by 3 and wait until the lot opens. There are plenty of places to pull off the road and wait. Last year, we knew the lots had opened when the police came by and told us. We will be bringing beverages(soda, beer, water), hot dogs, buns(of course), and probably some chips. Anyone else?? Let's get this thing rolling cause it's just about time!! :bounce

I agree. Aside from the "Here we go Steelers" chant that always seems to come up, it's one of my favorite lawns. Being with a bunch of people it is definitely the place to be. Who knows, maybe we will bump into you guys and smoke the peace pipe with you. :D
