This will be my first time in the arena since they changed the name from RBC, and also my first time there for anything other than a Hurricanes game. I'm looking forward to it.

Me either. Now the question that scares me as a hockey fan: will the Hurricanes play a game before the DMB concert?

I live in the only house that is right in the middle of the tailgating parking area. 4214 Trinity Road look it up, Its in the woods hidden underneath some huge oaks and is about 500 yards walking to the PNC Arena. Parking for the lots doesn't open until around 3pm, but inside my fence, we can do whatever we want when we want. I am going to have a pig picking and some kegs. We can tailgate in the yard, use the house for bathrooms and whatever, play some dave dvds in the background, talk about shows...etc. parking will be limited here so I need folks to get in touch with me to plan. Carpooling would be best, I can fit 20 cars in the yard. Now, my birthday is December 13th and I want my 62nd show to be one to remember. Happy Birthday to me, lets have some fun, everyone is welcome. AJ Kamal...

Are you the house on Trinity? I think some people I work with might know you.

Nevermind just read the post again, do you know the Pearces? Maybe neighbors to your parents or something. I dunno. I'll prob come to this though.

Awesome venue--went to undergrad here (NCSU) and PNC is a NICE arena...hoping for many good memories this year in that place (DMB and NCSU Bball!).

That seems like an excellent route. Might take it myself.

Definitely gonna be an interesting season. And looking ahead to 2013, the Harrison Twins are announcing their decision tomorrow. If they pick Maryland, things in the ACC are gonna get interesting real quick.

along with the fact that Syracuse and Pitt will be arriving too

[wilsonjc]

I'll be at this one. Probably the only stop of the tour I'll be able to make.

Yeah I'm excited though all the hype could lead to a typical NC State jinx, let's hope not though.

I would love to, if I wasn't heading up to C'ville the next morning. We could set up a caravan on 85 to keep things fun

[msalter]

Not sure if I'm gonna make it to this one ... Can only do one night of this tour. C'ville, Louisville, and Duluth are all in the mix.

[twostep25]

Excited to see them in Raleigh again!Saw them here for my first show at Walnut Creek in '09(I know, I'm not a seasoned veteran yet).

[cornbread85]

Can't wait for this show. Hoping my connection will hook me up with some back stage or working passes but I'm not banking on anything yet; just excited to not have to travel to Charlotte, Virginia Beach, or C'ville for a show.

AJ - Thanks for offering to use your house as a tailgate location. I normally tailgate on that side of RBC/PNC/Carter Finley anyway. Mind if I bring a Suburban full of DMB fans and some liquor/food? I just hit you up on FB to figure it all out.

We will also have to set up a caravan to C'ville on Friday. Booked a room at the Econo Lodge across from JPJ just for tailgating purposes.

The bonus with having my place to tailgate is that we dont have to be restricted by parking lot time regulations. We will be out there at sunrise (not literally) but anyone is welcome, its my birthday. Im cooking about 200 lbs of BBQ and will have some kegs. Check out my facebook AJ Kamal, I also created a group "DMB: Extreme Tailgating"

You are NOT allowed to go to the Louisville show! NC, GA, or VA are your only options. I know people who can make sure this happens.

I'm heading up to C'ville on Thursday morning, but it looks like we're neighbors for the weekend. My permagrin in not going anywhere for the next 6 1/2 weeks!!!!

Ok, I'll take GA off the table for him, and roll with you for the NC or VA shows.

As for the antennas, there are a ton out there. This is the first one that caught my eye: http://www.windycitynovelties.com/11...tenna-hat.html

The "red and black antenna waving" line.

Here are some pics of some different ideas:

What did you have in mind?
