September 16 - Las Vegas, NV @ The Joint

[leatherebel]

well i've been a fan since 95 but not since the early days.. anyway it should be a killer time reguardless and I hope to meet up with you there man!

Just realized that there really isnt any other long time members going to this show. Still looking forward to partying with everyone...just something that occured to me.

I've been a hardcore fan since 1991.....And it would've been much earlier had it not been a eastern european country where i grew up. Any western rock&roll records were forbidden until 1990.

[Crazyman]

God is it going to suck going to Vegas as a minor...

To bad they card everyone there too...because I look like I'm out of college (or so people say)

I may not be a long time member, but I am a long time fan.  I truley would have been a member along time ago, but I didn't like computers and wouldn't learn how to use one (hahaha) look at me now!!!  I have been a fan since 87, and flew to Portugal this year from U.S., just to see them at Rio.  Now I am on my way to see them again in Vegas, and pretty sure it won't be long after I get back, that I will see them again here in Seattle.  Met Jarmo while at Rio as well.  What a great experience.  Anyway if you are gonna be at the show on the 16th, look forward to hopefully meeting you!!!

Oh definitely. Everyone going better lock something down so we can all hook up, and not just pass each other by like strangers. Going to the German Brewery, eating and drinking more at the Rainbow...and going back to someones room who is staying next to the Hard Rock, for some of the finest greens in the land sounds like a cool as shit pre party to me.

Hopefully we can get something organized. I not really good at that kind of thing personally. But I will be there.

Sounds pretty awesome to me!! I am not a great organizer of such things either, but I would love to see a get together at the Rainbow, just cause that ties in to the whole GNR thing, even if it's not the origanal one, it would be close enough though!!  Not long to go, so hoping someone will organize something soon.

[Buddha_Master]

I agree. We have to go to the Rainbow. There isn't a more appropriate place.

[phreakofnature]

I will help organize if you like(Since I live in Vegas, might be a little easier).  I am all for going to the Rainbow as well, only problem is, all 1500 other concert goers probably will too.  Might be hard to find a seat.   I say meet up early for some beers at Haughbrahaus, head over to Rainbow after to get some food.  If it is too packed, I say we have a plan B for a backup.  If anyone wants my cell phone # let me know.

Cool Freaky...you're going! You seem like a genuine cool straight up dude. That's awesome. I am going up to Vegas Friday after work (Driving).

Regarding the tickets themselves, I did best available and it gave me the balcony. Is it worse being on the balcony? Anyone know?

And regarding the pre party. Anyone have a room right next to Hard Rock that wants to kick back for a bit and do a little smokey smokey??   A little group in a room before Rainbow. You know...feed the head, then the belly.

Where are you on the Balcony Buddha?  if you have the first row of tables, your good...the second row or standing room only will suck though.... go to www.hardrockhotel.com  and do a virtual tour of the joint, pick the VIP tour, and that will show you the view from the balcony. You'll have to count me out on the smokey smokey, lol. For some reason i Just cant do it. lol, I'll take a hit, then eat everything in sight, then wanna fall asleep, lol. I'll stick to the budweiser...you shouldn't have any problem finding a bunch of people though!!

Nice, where are you driving from again?  Balcony is iffy, front row is good but behind that you get blocked a lot by the people in front of you.  Hopfully they will let you move around.  I don't smoke, but I am down for hangin with everyone.

[Bandita]

I don't do the smokey anymore but am staying across the street from the Hard Rock at the Comfort Inn and am looking forward to hanging with some of you freaks

Hey. Here is where my seats are

SROBAL, row GA0

Trying to figure these out on the seating chart...

I believe even the balcony is GA, looking at the seating chart it seems to be the blue space above the reserved tables.  I thought that section was considered obstructed view though-
