Stich is a good joint hope all that works out

[grabaraxl]

fuck! i'm still deciding on going to The Killers concert in Barcelona on Nov.11th or this show. i never saw the killers live, i saw gn'r 3 times on this tour and i guess the show will be the same, but i really wanted to see them on MSG. with so many days on the calendar and it had to be like this...

[rhiad]

I say, go see GN'R again!!! After all it is MSG. It may just be the GREATEST show of the entire tour but if you don't go you'd never know first hand......

JFK is a downright shithole if I may say so.? It also holds the record for most incoming and outbound flights daily in the US making it pretty dangerous as the planes are flying into and out of the same airspace.? If you remember there was an accident there in 2001 due to this.? I was doing a lot of overseas traveling back in 2001-2002 because I partially lived in France at that time and I will tell you I only went through JFK once and never again.?

I'm flying to JFK... surely its not that bad. You are scaring me now...

I, for one, vote against Stitch after the way they acted in May.  I booked their upstairs area for the after parties, and they were jerks!  They wouldn't let us sit upstairs.  I'm bummed about Mustang's, they were cool there.  I just want to be able to meet up w people from the board before the show, bc I am planning on going by myself - all my lame friends thought $100 was too much to see GNR.

Don't worry about JFK..it's just super busy out there and congested with so many people it's almost tough to breath out there.  It's rare that JFK would have a plane crash..but it is a busy airport nonetheless

I can't say I've been to Stitch..but I've been to worse places before..

[Bandita]

I meant to ask... where can I get some Nightrain before the show? Do the sell it anywhere around there? I can't find it down here in PA... thanks!

 

Have you ever drank this? ?I had one experience with this "wine" when I was 18 or so and all I can say is, NEVER AGAIN. ?It is the most vile thing I have ever consumed!

But if you insist, I am sure if you go into a shady neighborhood liquor store in NYC you can find this easily

Oh hon, no don't worry if it's already booked. ?I survived it going to and from Charles de Gaulle. ?My suggestion for Newark was more for orderliness rather than the safety of the airport. ?They both handle a lot of air traffic.

They might have been jerks because they get regular business at those hours.  They are more likely to want the business before a show before they get the regular NY bar crowd which doesn't roll in until about midnight.

Barbie! 
I went to 2 Hammerstein shows and the first one I went to by myself, also!  I know how you feel, doll. My friends are so lame!  I have 2 GA tix to msg and I'm not sure who I'm taking yet.  I want to take someone who loves the band as much as all of us!   

I went to Stitch before the Hammerstein shows and it was awesome.  It wasn't crowded, around the corner from msg and it more pub-like.  I will go wherever for the pre-party to be with all of you...but Friday's or Houlihans...so cheesy.  It's not like we are  meeting in Indiana or some place where there's no options.

I might be going to NYC, definitely not to Barcelona.... 

Think about it. Almost like Lisbon in May.

TurboTravis was supposed to talk to the owner this morning. The guy he talked to last night seemed cool, and that they're willing to meet our accomodations. They even went as far to say that if someone brings an iPod with GN'R on it, they'll blast it throughout the bar!

Yes, I totally agree with this.  Having a pre-party in NYC at a chain restaurant like Fridays or Houlihans is totally silly unless there were no other options.  I hope the Stitch plan goes through especially since we have so many out of towners coming and a fun NYC bar would just be more appropriate.

Okay, we'll wait to hear from Turbo Travis, then. 

[GnR-NOW]

just got my tickets, very plan looking it says GUNS N ROSES , the one for the hammerstein had GUNS N' ROSES, i know i know big change .... 1 Month and 6 days .... F*CK !  doesnt say shit about no cameras either, i guess that mean we can bring them

For those that need a good seat, I may have an extra ticket, i still need to tell my gf that im going, and still need to convince her she needs to take off work and come with me ... this might take a while, but i may have an extra if it doesnt work

[TurboTravis]

I called again as soon as I got up, and am awaiting a call back..

I am really surprised about the cameras! ?Maybe they have relaxed on this rule knowing it is going to happen anyway. ?Generally if they plan to enforce it then it says so clearly on the tickets. ?I just got an email that mine have been printed so I guess I should have them in the next day or so....


I found this on the MSG website though-

Are cameras/recording devices permitted?
Video Cameras, digital cameras and cameras with telephoto or zoom lenses are not permitted inside Madison Square Garden at any time.  This policy will be strictly enforced.  For Knicks, Rangers and Liberty games only, you may bring in a disposable or 35mm (with no zoom or telephoto lens) camera.

Even so, when I went to see Billy Joel there earlier this year, cameras were freely allowed as he doesn't have any policy against cameras. 

[GnR-NOW]

Id love to bring a camera, not so much to take pics of the band, but just of the good time and the people you meet, to capture the memories and there will be some good memories after this concert

[BurningHills]

You got your tix already? Wow...I got the email saying that they were printed today - should have em in a week or so!

[GnR-NOW]

yea i got that email on sunday, then with the 3 day ups, mon, tues and today ... I cant believe im this fired up over just getting the tix, i cant imagine what that friday is going to be like

[BurningHills]

Its gonna be fucking electric. Especially when those lights go down and you hear the opening riff to Jungle.

Best feeling in the world - well, besides sex!
