Nick · July 06, 2010, 05:29:45 AM

Someplace near MSG hopefully as I'm coming in via train.

Birch Boy · July 06, 2010, 09:44:19 PM

I had already made a roll call thread for this show last week, but this one already has more activity, so disregard mine. I'll be there + 2 non-DTFers

cramx3 · July 08, 2010, 09:50:49 PM

Going with a friend.

Im really excited since this is the first time seeing Maiden and DT without seeing spoilers before hand. Really excited to see what songs get played.

ShadowWalker · July 09, 2010, 08:38:12 AM

So, do we have a location?

Dark Master Of Sin · July 09, 2010, 08:43:25 AM

I'll be there with my dad, we're staying at the hotel across the street from the MSG.

Nick · July 09, 2010, 11:59:24 AM

SW, we should just hang out at the food court.

yeshaberto · July 09, 2010, 01:42:01 PM

I'll probably only be able to meet up with people in the food court of Madison Square Garden, as I doubt my stepdad will drive me to a restaurant to meet a bunch of people I met over the internet and have never seen face to face...

So maybe I'll just see some of you by chance inside the venue/at merchandise stands/etc...

lonestar · July 10, 2010, 05:10:33 PM

Enjoy the show boys, it should be epic.

Quadrochosis · July 11, 2010, 08:19:40 AM

Me and my buds are going to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and then going right to the venue, so hopefully we'll see some of you guys there. I'll be in green camo shorts with a Roll the Bones Rush T-Shirt incase anyone sees me and wants to say hi.

yeshaberto · July 11, 2010, 03:13:53 PM

sounds like a good plan...should see you there

Birch Boy · July 11, 2010, 07:15:52 PM

I'll be in a white Killers t-shirt, and since there's a chance they'll be more than one person wearing one, I'm the teenage kid with mid-long hair in case anyone sees me

Also, I'll hopefully be getting there by 6:30 the latest, but my meeting locations will be venue-restricted, so food court would be the best place for me, but since the adults might meet at a restaurant or something I'll just miss it, no real big deal (although it'd be really cool to meet you guys).

yeshaberto · July 11, 2010, 09:27:21 PM

does the food court open before the venue opens (doors open at 6:30)? If so, that would seem like the better place to meet at maybe 5:30 or something

moffatt · July 12, 2010, 12:25:34 AM

You guys think DT will do anything 'special' as MP is making a big deal about the show...

No.

Quadrochosis · July 12, 2010, 05:03:46 AM

Up the Irons!

Nick · July 12, 2010, 08:25:41 AM

I'll be getting the train that puts me in the city at 2:48, so I'll start seeing people then.

LearningToLive · July 12, 2010, 08:58:14 AM

I'll be at the show tonight

wkiml · July 12, 2010, 09:41:25 AM

Was going to drive but decided on the train instead should get there around 4:30

hefdaddy42 · July 12, 2010, 10:16:56 AM

Wish I could be there tonight with you guys! I'm really happy that the band is finally getting to play MSG, and I hope you all have a great time!

Nick · July 12, 2010, 10:30:39 AM

Got to my train station with 1 minute to spare, so of course now the train is late.

Birch Boy · July 12, 2010, 10:46:24 AM

I'll be there around 6:30 the latest. I still say food court would be the most convenient. And if for some reason someone has the urge to meet me, just yell "BIRCH BOY!!"

Birch Boy · July 12, 2010, 11:54:26 AM

So what's the verdict on the meeting place? And what will you guys be wearing?

EDIT: I'm wearing a white Killers t-shirt.

EPICVIEW · July 12, 2010, 12:32:48 PM

enjoy the show!!! wish I could go

cramx3 · July 12, 2010, 01:23:04 PM

On the train now, should be in NYC soon. Still recovering from last night though

emindead · July 12, 2010, 07:01:57 PM

Please post what's happening in this show!!!

Shadow2222 · July 12, 2010, 07:22:38 PM

I read on twitter that it was the same 6 song set

Nick · July 12, 2010, 08:30:33 PM

Only special events were seeing Yesh, Bill, DTVT, and Zero.

yeah, that was cool...but bummed we didn't get to see birch boy, quad and others....

show was mighty awesome!

yeshaberto · July 12, 2010, 10:00:54 PM

actually, it was cool too cause we got to see MP walking past us on the sidewalk...too fast to get a stalker pic, though

cramx3 · July 12, 2010, 10:13:43 PM

i thought dt performed with much more energy than i ever have seen. They seemed to be pretty into it for playing MSG. I had an awesome time.

yeshaberto · July 12, 2010, 10:15:23 PM

yeah, I loved how MP highlighted the meaningfulness of that show for them (ie. dreaming of it as kids, and now doing it - with IM to boot!)

Quadrochosis · July 12, 2010, 10:29:21 PM

Just got back.. too bad I couldn't see any of you guys but I did have the time of my life and would easily say it was one of (if not the) best concert I've ever been to.

EDIT: Also in case you guys don't know, someone fell off the escalator as we were leaving and I'm pretty sure that he died. We couldn't figure out if he jumped or if he was pushed but I highly doubt he survived. We all heard the thud and then after about 5 minutes when we finally got down the stairs (massive crowds plus rubberneckers = people traffic) he still wasn't moving. He appeared to have landed face first and his feet were in all crooked angles that indicate that at the very least he broke his legs and probably his ribs (considering he landing face first) =/

yeshaberto · July 12, 2010, 10:41:03 PM

wow - that is crazy!

My god... Was everyone just walking by or were there paramedics there already? Don't the venues always have medical people on call?
