Closest airport:
Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP)

I'm there! Gonna fly to Minneapolis, then to Chicago, then back to Vegas. Got a great deal at $346 for all three flights.

I'll be there.  Staying at Hotel Minneapolis Sunday night.  Let's get together and watch NFL in the afternoon and some GnR that night!  Anybody have a preference on pre-concert bar? Sneaky Pete's, Bootleggers...?

I will be there. Suite 53!

I'm there - Coming down from forty miles north of Detroit Lakes. Used to live in Bloomington. Anyways; gonna be staying at the City Center Marriot. Get to town the day before the gig - anyone else gonna be in town earlier than the gig? Would be down for a few drinks or something.

@mnsotapop - What about the Depot Tavern? Or calling and arranging a pre-party at the Hard Rock? Or we just light rail a bunch of Gunners to the mall and create some debauchery haha. I'm sure the mall would just loveeeee a bunch of Gunners overtaking their Hot Topic reject and wanna be Abercrombie models that loiter around.

I'll be attending this show as well, yes! -- really looking forward to it. :)



The Hard Rock is closing on Sept. 30th, too bad, they were right across the street.

Haha - not at all suprised the HR is closing. Food is mediocore at best.

The only thing halfway good about the Hard Rock was some of the cool music memorabilia.  It was a shtty tourist trap other than that.  Unless someone else wants to volunteer(??) I'll check around with some places near Target Center and get something set up for the HTGTH folks to meet at before the show.  I'm not a big fan of Sneaky Pete's or Bootleggers normally, but they do have large spaces and a lot of tv's for watching the NFL games in the afternoon.  Since it's a Sunday night, I don't think we will have to worry about huge non-GnR crowds. 

I agree, The Hard Rock sucks. Pay twice as much for the same beer you would anywhere else. It's been a LONG time since I've hung around Downtown Minneapolis (December 2006 actually, lol) but I would say anyplace within a 5 minute walk to Target Center would work. I'm not picky. (Won't be watching football though, NASCAR is in Phoenix that day, was going to go, but Gn'R is a bit more important to me!  ;D )

You ain't sitting by me if you're watching NASCAR instead of football!  ;D  Looks like it will be Sneaky Pete's, or Bootleggers.... but not sure yet.  http://ultimatefunbar.com/  http://www.bootleggersmpls.net/galleries/53/index.html

Based on the pictures, lol, I vote for Bootleggers, haha.

Got my tickets in the mail today...

Got my 22 tickets in the mail today too....

Add meee here too!!!  :D

Ha; so I answered my own question on fb by looking here. Would be nice to meet you Ayako!

It would be nice to meet you too!!

Unless there are any objections, comments, I'm going to try and get an area reserved for us at Bootleggers before the concert.  I don't believe they have food so eat before you come if you want more than a liquid dinner!  I have a room at the Minneapolis Hotel so I'll check in there about 3:00pm then head to Bootleggers about 5:00.  I'll wait and see who the opening band is before I know when I'll leave.  If GnR doesn't go on till 10-11 I don't want to get there too early. 

 :beer:

So who else is going to Tommy's solo show?

I was told by Target Center it looks for now, that Buckcherry is the opener for the Minneapolis show.

Any updates on this?

Just a clip of Fargo, ND's Classic Rock Station ROCK102 doing some promo;

So still no confirmation on who will be the opener.  I was told as of right now it looked to be Buckcherry, but she said it's still a ways off, especially for GNR. :)

Sebastian has only booked tour dates up until the 12th, so he's available. :yes:

I still plan on going to Bootlegger's before the show....If you want to meet up PM me and I'll send you my cell #.  EDIT#  if bootlegger's is open   ???

and opener is Adelitas Way:

We are so excited to announce that we have been chosen as direct support for Guns N' Roses in Minneapolis on November 13th and Chicago on November 15. Unfortunately that means we will have to pull out of the following shows: Nov 11 in Tyler TX, Nov 12 in Abilene TX, Nov 14 in Little Rock AR, Nov 15 in Nashville TN

And appearing with Tommy Stinson at the solo gig is Dizzy, Richard and Frank!

REALLY!!!!!!! FUCK YES!

Confirmed that Bootlegger's is closed on Sunday.  Will probably go to Sneaky Pete's or Huberts instead. 

My thoughts exactly! Haha. I'd assume it'll be the same for the instore?

I hope so! Gotta figure out exactly whats going down Tuesday. Never been to Chicago. We're staying with my girls brother, he lives 13 miles from the venue right on the lake. She told me yesterday we're not gonna have a car....which means she can't pick me up from the concert. I don't really wanna try to figure out the public transportation system at 3 am either. Guess I'm gonna have to cab it. But then I don't know if I can make the in-store either. I don't know, I'll figure something out.

There are cabs all over Chicago so it's not an issue to get around quickly.  The cabbies are crazy though so buckle up and hang on.
