LB in Austin, TX

#1 01-22-2007, 09:30 AM

Hey folks,

I'm a newbie - first post even - but I'm a long-time LB and FM fan. Going to my first Lindsey show on Thursday and am pretty pumped up about it.

Just thought I'd post to pop my cherry and see if any others on here are attending the show. I just wish I wouldn't have dragged my feet as badly as I did and got better seats, but I guess 18th row ain't the worst, especially in a nice intimate theatre like the Hogg Auditorium.

From what I've read/heard, I'm completely cool with the format of these shows and the tune selection (minus my dream list) - I am hopeful for yet not expecting any set surprises.

Anyway, bash or welcome me!

Welcome aboard Billo!... Have a great time at your show - and pop back with the details.

I'll be at the Austin show. I'm in the 4th row on the right side (looking at the stage). If you see someone with a Lindsey Rules sign...that's me.

Welcome to the Ledge!!

Welcome to the Ledge, Billo!

Bruce and I will be in the 2nd row, left section, on the center aisle. I also live in Austin.

Have you seen the article on page 60 of the new Chronicle? I posted it here as well...

Edit: Just heard Loris Lowe say she will be giving away tickets during the Blue Plate today - KLBJ.

Fantastic - even a moderator here in Austin! No wonder you have good tix! heh....Glad to hear a couple of folks on the board will be there.

Even better news, I just upgraded my tix to Row E, seats 5-7 on the Left Side!!!!!! AWWWW YEAH!

EDIT: To say that, yes, i did see the chronny article - even saw it here first! Well done. Also, FWIW, I guess I could add that I've used the Penguin as a reference for many moons, but just never joined the board. I'm glad I have now!

Being a mod had nothing to do w/ it. I get no love or perks for that.

I sound like Rodney Dangerfield...I just got online the second tix went onsale - fast internet connection and fast fingers!

So, now you're just a few rows behind me and Bruce. Have you ever been to Hogg before? I haven't - do they serve booze? Or just beer and wine like the Erwin Center? Or anything? Camera nazis? I'm surprised he's not playing at the Paramount instead.

Oh well, I just hope it sounds good.

Shall we all agree now to rush the stage?

Loris is playing the live version of "I'm So Afraid."

I never hear this on the radio.

Okay, that was the question to win tickets - what was the name of the song? Some idiot guessed "My Little Demon," and then someone named Bill (!) got it right and won! It rang and rang when I called, Loris finally answered and said they had a winner. Wonder what kind of seats those were?

Billo, welcome and enjoy your time here! You will make a great addition to the Ledge! Have a great time at the show!

thanks for the welcomes and yes, Livia, that "Bill" was me! I still need to go pick up the tix at the station so I don't know where they are located, but I am hoping for the best. She said she didn't know but that there's not a bad seat in the house. Hmmmmm.

I have been to Hogg, and it's an awesome sounding room from what I remember, and pretty small (1200 I think) - should be nice for an intimate show. I believe they serve liquor and beer/wine - best to have a pre-party methinks just so you won't be disappointed. Hogg is not far from the Hole in the Wall on Guadalupe (as you probably know) - walking distance, in fact. As far as cameras, I'd be wary - maybe hide them and most definitely no flash.

Man, so far, this just keeps getting better and better!

Congrats on the tickets! Woo-hoo!

Yes, I'm familiar w/ the Hole in the Wall - love that place! I like the way you think!

Welcome, Bill! And congrats on the tickets to the show Thursday night!
I'm Bruce, Livia's partner in crime and concert buddy!

I've never been to Hogg either but I'm really looking forward to the show!

Hey y'all! My sister and I are flying in from Dallas. Anyone going to hang out before or after the show? Didn't know if some of the boardies were getting together.

Livia · #12 01-22-2007, 05:14 PM

Let's meet at the Hole in the Wall at 7 PM. Like Bill said, it's very close to the auditorium, on Guadalupe St., aka, "The Drag."

For those of you who've never met me, I'll be the girl w/ the Rumours LP purse.
