Dude, that's I am going. Get the heck out of this crazy town before the crazies take over. It's been my dream to escape for years and this time I get to! Woohoo!

If anyone is headed north from 75 through Lexington, Stiv needs a ride!

Here are the details I got from CST a minute ago.

Tickets are $12 preorder $15 day of show

Saturday doors 8:00 show 9:30

Sunday doors 7:00 show 8:30 (non-smoking)

Opening act TBA

Jeanne, you rock. I'll know in the next few days whether I'm coming.

Thanks.
Troy

Tickets just went on sale for Canal Street last night. I drove up and got the first ones sold.

I'll know in a week or so how many extra tickets I'll have.

We'll be there Sunday May 2. It looked like we were going to be there Saturday, but because of my involvement in EQUUS, I'm not going to be able to get there Saturday.

So, who's gonna be there Sunday?

EQUUS. That's an awesome show. Are you the doctor?

We will be there sunday night (Nichole and I)

drew, the "RCL" gang's a 'comin. that's trudes (coming in from CO), michelle (coming in from HI), keith (coming in from NY), jeanne (from down the street in DTN) and anna and I are driving up from the 'ville for both shows.

Do we want to to the big pre-show UNO's dinner Saturday night, Sunday night or both nights?

I'm hoping we doing a pre-show something both nights as Michelle and I, as well as apparently a few others of us, will not be able to make Saturday pre-show festivities.

We need to find a Karaoke bar in Dayton so I can serenade all of you with my heartfelt rendition of "It's The End Of The World As We Know It".

No kidding. Truly stunning show.

No, not the doctor (what a role! I want to play that sometime in my life)... I'm a horse -- stepping in at the last minute to bail out the director, as it were.

Please keep the "Drew as a Clydesdale" jokes to a minimum, please!

I'm anxious to meet all of the RCL gang!

I hope you know how completely mutual that is. I have big, gracious hug waiting for you, Drew.

Actually, I have a lot of hugs waiting. Some things I'm hoping for:

A kick-ass big group photo of all of us there infront of the stage w/ K&L. Pleasepleaseplease, K&L???

A kick-ass RC group photo... I'm tearin' up now at the thought.

And, being the the harmless little butterflies that we are, a kick-ass "Don't F*** With Us" menacing shot of Kylie and myself.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for.

I think we can handle all that.

This is gonna be fun.

I guess I wasn't really clear. I meant do we go to UNO's both nights, or try to find a different place one night? I wish there were more large restaurants in the vicinity of downtown.

I'd love to help you out, Steve, but I know absolutely nothing about the karaoke scene in Dayton.

That's my staple. Whenever I'm in one of those places, I can usually win a beer off of someone who doesn't know me that well (and thus doesn't realize I know all the words to that song by heart). The bet is I have to do it without using the little TV with the words. I've won some pretty good drinks off of doing that too.

really?

i thought ya'll were getting in early evening??

Oh yeah, I forgot Michelle was coming.

the mind is the first thing to go.

get that metamucil, keith.

Ooooooh you're gonna get yours, Kylie Jo! And your little dog, too!!

I'm am going to these shows. Both of them. I just have to bust butt at school the week before

Woo hoo! If you need tickets, Hometown Boy Dave has extras!

yay! more orchardists!

i don't have a dog, keith.

Speaking of which, I don't see ticket information to the club's website, at least yet.

<sigh>

As much as I'd like to meet many in this little gang -- you seem like a great crowd -- I can't get away for a road trip just yet. It double sucks that I've never seen OtR in concert. Pffft.

Wish I could say I'm not jealous as hell.

HEY! Here's an idea: all of you get together, pick up the band, and come *here.* Oh, HELL yes.

I'm sure we would if we could It's hard for me to get away from Purdue since grad school entwines itself around me so tightly most of the time. Hopefully this Summer will be relatively lax (well, here's to hoping, at least).

Well then, Dance-man, enjoy your mini break in May.... I'll be there in spirit.

This will be my first show Troy...I know your pain. Perhaps you can get away for the Taft 2004 show in Dec. Another grand reunion is planned.

read about it here

Thom I'm so pleased to be meeting you and all my new friends...

I'm really excited too. We should have some collective form of identification so we can find everyone. Maybe I'll wear a "Hello My Name is "DanceWithoutMe" sticker

Canal Street is quite bad about updating their web site. It's a small room that holds about 200 people. This is the info that Luke got when he called.

It is advisable to get your tickets ahead of time, because these shows will likely sell out. You can buy tickets ahead through the mail, but I know Dave said he currently has a number of extras for both nights.

I keep trying to talk myself into flying back there for these shows. It's been too long since I've seen them at Canal Street. I just hope I don't take so long to make up my mind that I miss out.

C'mon... you know you wanna. We'll all be if you come. And we'll get to again!

....!

Wanting to do it and being able to justify the expense are two entirely different things, as you know. And it's not as though Dayton was a place I considering mentioning in the dream vacation thread...

4 hours... from Ferndale's Magic Bag

Fred's a definite for Saturday.

Wow, only a three hour drive from Lafayette.

I should also say I'm willing to carpool - I have a Olds Cutlass that I need to clean badly, but I can fit three people.

The little lady and I will be at the CST show on May 2nd. We'll be hauling ass from PHL as we're in NY and then PHL the previous two nights.

Yay! Zayne is coming!!

*sigh* Reading about all of you wonderful people that are going to be there makes me sad that I am not ...

Bill,

You wanna swing through Lexington and get me? It's only an hour out of your way

DITTO!

double ditto

1. I really need to catch a live show.
2. I would love to meet you guys face to face.
3. I want to show keith my AL driver's license. That should prove residence. The Unitarian thing is harder to disprove. Maybe I could just do a little trinitarian prayer or a wacko-fundy number.

YEAH! What she said! Yay Zayne!!!
