I can't believe it's this time of year already!

So, the past coupla years we've had our pre-show gathering at Arnold's. They've been really great with getting us in, out, and filled up with some good/fair priced cuisine. It's within walking distance of the Taft, and has a lot of band connections. And personally, I think it's the best set-up b/c we have the entire upstairs to ourselves, free to walk around and "mingle". It's a great atmosphere... I mean, they have a bathtub in there... what more could you ask for??
The time isn't nailed down yet. It seems like last year it was around 5 ish?? That gave us about two hours there. I think the show started at 8, doors at 7 or something.

If it's ok with everyone, we'll just get this ball rollin'... so I can make some reservations.

If not, please speak up. Rock n' roll.

i think john brings up a good idea, in order to make the reservation we probably need to post the numbers so we can get a count of how many are coming.

i'm interested in this. i should have the money easily enough for the plane, and i'm considering that Christmas package mentioned on the pre-order page for the new albums. So it'd be Taft and then that private concert the next day. Can someone hit me up with info on these? if i go i *MAY* bring a friend, completely unsure on this as yet.

for now, count me as tentative.

While I don't believe we'll be dining with ya'll, Wendy & I will stop by to say "hey-hey-hey" at Arnold's.

See ya there!

I don't remember the last time I did 4 OTR shows in a month. but it looks about time I did.

Count me in

Yay!

My plane gets in at 3:48. I am shuttling to the Millenium and I will cab it to Arnold's ASAP. I have some apple cell phone numbers to call folks to let them know where I am. My cell is 303 818 2495.
What time are we planning to get to the Taft (leave Arnold's)? If I am delayed I may have to just go to the Taft.
Safe travels, all. See you tomorrow.

if i have your ticket and you aren't coming to arnold's i'll prob be hanging around the front door from 7:00-7:15 for you to get your tix.

yay for dinner and yay for over the rhine and yay for DM coming and just yay in general.

i'm so excited about this weekend...safe traveling to all!

Trudes,
Karen and I will be walking from the Millenium to Arnold's. Give me a ring and we'll walk over with you. You have a PM with my number (and Bill and Kylie have it as well).
See you tonight,
