I will be there with bells on!

Just curious to see how many of my fellow Ledgies are going to be there
cheering on our band!

As of now I'm not BUT I'm checking for tickets everyday. If good seats pop up (and they haven't yet) I'll be there. I'm a 2 hour train ride away so I'd love to make it.

I would go if I got good seats. It's only a very short train ride.

i am going, i am sitting on the floor like 15 rows back...soooo exciting!!!

ps-for all of you waiting for tix to drop, most MSG shows wont start dropping tix til 24-48 hours before...so be patient!!

I actually take off work every Thursday and Friday when March Madness kicks off, so I had my leave already scheduled when I noted the Mac was playing on March 19 in NYC - so I thought to myself.. just hop on the Acela, get to Manhatten early, find a local sports bar (any suggestions?), watch some college b-ball, then go to the show... I'm one of those who has been checking every day for tix... keeping my fingers crossed..

btw,, did I mention I'm going to the D.C. show tonight... it's finally here!!

kathy1 · #7 03-10-2009, 07:10 AM

hey keith, great sports bar just off the west village stop...its called town tavern, and is only a few stops away from MSG on the subway!

I think they also have one in DC that recently opened if im correct?

Have a blast tonight, Keith. I'll be awaiting your full report.

Hey I have been to that Town Tavern. That place is cool but around 9 or 10 at night it gets packed there. They have a Town Tavern in the south side of pittsburgh where I live so last time my hubby and I were in New York we stopped there to check it out. I was surprised that it was a lot smaller than the one here.

Thanks Livia.. you know I'm struggling with work today as all I can think about is seeing Stevie tonight. :-) I wish you were coming to the D.C. show like in 2003! It's going to rock..

Gavin - I will definitely check out the Town Tavern - I always head down to the village when I visit NYC - I love a Salt and Battery (good fish and chips).

About the Town Tavern in D.C - it's in my neighborhood about 2 blocks away from my flat. I noticed it about a month ago, but didn't go in because it didn't look like a sports bar (the bar it replaced was not one of my favorite spots - i figured it was the same place with a different name). Also, Adams Morgan - where I live - is all bars and restaurants, so bars come and go... I sometimes just don't notice.. I think I'll check out the d.c. town tavern this weekend while catching some of the conference championships! I can just stumble home if need be... Thanks for the tip. :-) Bring on the MAC!

Go Mizzou (since my teams probably won't make THE DANCE: Arkansas Razorbacks, Georgetown Hoyas, and Notre Dame Irish). tough year for me on the college b-ball front.

Geez... there are 744 tickets to this show on Stubhub.

I have a feeling that 7th Ave. is going to be lined with people desperately trying to unload their "investments." Add to that the fact that FM will have already played multiple times in the tri-state area, and the prospects for MSG grow even dimmer. And even on Stubhub I noticed that there are only a handful of seats up for grabs in sections 1, 2, 3 and 4. I suspect there's going to be quite a release once ILAA has given up on their extortionary tactics.

there is a sports bar right next door to the garden.....if you are standing in front of it, looking at the garden doors, the bar is to the left....I don't know the name of it, but it is a nice place, but will be crowded
