New York City, USA Hammerstein Ballroom - May 12, 2006 + general info

[The Dog]

I plan to head over to Hammerstein around 9...I'll be getting to the pre-party late (maybe 6), so I want to hang out for a while.

yeah but you're a chick, you'll have no problem getting towards the front...haha.   If I get towards the middle I'll be happy. 

[IFINGLOVEGNR]

Damn I cant sleep, I didnt wanna wake up untill noon, this always happens the night before a big concert i'm always to excited to sleep, oh well  guess i'll just be drinking alot of red bull today

[Top-Hatted One]

should I head over to new york city now? its so early...the thought of having to wait until 11pm to see them is a little overwhelming!

[IFINGLOVEGNR]

I'll be by mustangs by 2:00

Same for me.

I'll probably head to hammerstein around 6-6:30 after the preparty. I have floor tix so I want somewhat of a close view

Thats a LONG wait till 11pm!   But in the end if you get a good spot it'll be worth it.  I'm gunning for a midde to back floor spot, hopefully I can move up a bit during BFMV, people should be sleeping so they won't notice me haha

No doubt. I can't wait to see what'll happen to them in a couple of hours. I hope the fans let them have it. Hopefully "Bullet" will bite the bullet...mwahahah....ok, that wasn't funny

[Back Off Bitch]

So, just for confirmation, the pre-party is 12-7?

[faldor]

I have a request of anyone who is going to the show who hasn't left yet.  Any of you feel like giving me a call after the show ends and telling me ALL about it?  If not I understand.  I can wait till tomorrow like everyone else.  But what the hell, thought I'd give it a shot.  If there are any takers, PM me and I'll send along my number.  Everyone going have a blast.  Good thing the show is indoors.  It's a monsoon out there.

[Charity Case]

If you are going to the show tonight, remember to get your asses in front of a computer before you go to bed tonight and give us a recap.  Setlist, bandmembers, rants, etc.   Some of us will be staying up to get the word.

Have a blast and tell Axl to come to Central Florida in the Fall.   

[faldor]

good point.  At least one of you has to take one for the team, skip the post-party and get online and divulge all the info from the show.  Yeah, I wouldn't do it either.  But it'd be cool.

[Rob]

I'll give you guys a recap, but don't expect it until well after the show is over.

[JennaSide]

I have to be somewhere tomorrow morning so I don't think I'll be doing any post-partying tonight and I live super close to the Hammerstein, so I'll probably be home early to give a recap

[girlincarwithgnr]

I'll be there for the 14th and the 15th shows!  

[Vegar]

When is the show gonna start (In "HTGTH-messageboardtime"  ) ??

May be up all night waitin' for info on the show!..

[girlincarwithgnr]

I dont get in till the 14th at 9am! I am not going without a shower and looking like a slob from the over night drive.

hotel check in is at 3!!!!

Im gonna be last in line!!!

They say 3 to cover their asses.

Most NYC hotels will have your room ready by noon.

I've checked in as early as 10 AM before.

If you REALLY need an early check in, call the front desk of the hotel before you leave home and ask if they can get you an early check in.? Most of the time, they'll be happy to oblige.

[faldor]

"When is the show gonna start (In "HTGTH-messageboardtime"  ) ??"

I believe the messageboard is on EST, so I believe Bullet for my Valentine goes on at 9.  I'd imagine they'll play no longer than an hour.  Wishful thinking would have GNR going on around 10:30 but probably more like 11.  Ending around 1, which I believe is the curfew time.  Though I don't think Axl is one to abide by curfews, he'd probably play past the time just for the hell of it.  So I'm hoping JennaSide can get us a review by 2am or so just before I lay to sleep.  That'd be  sweet!
