That is perhaps the best combo of emoticons I have seen used in a very long time.

So the meet up is at Lefty ODouls??  I'm flying in from LA and hope to chat with some of you SF fans.

[lonestar]

Yup, I should be there between 5 and 6.

what time do you land?
I'm on JB out of LGB

[RaiseTheKnife]

I arrive 3:00pm, flying out of LAX.  Should be enough time for me to get to hotel and walk to meet-up/venue.  My hotel is only a block or two away.

[mallorier]

Aaaaaah so close I am freaking out! I am fighting off a stupid chest cold, but I am on the road to recovery and should be in fighting form by Sunday *crosses fingers*, but any good-health-vibes I could get from fellow Dream Theater fans would be much appreciated . So it looks like I'm probably gonna be able to swing by Lefty's for a little bit to meet people, but trying to get any sort of details set in stone with the group I'm going with is proving to be very, very difficult so I can't guarantee it. If I don't make it over there I really hope you guys will come say hello to me in line or inside the venue! But should all go according to plan and I make it down to Lefty's, how will I recognize you guys? Should I just ask the hostess for the "dream theater people"? 

So...so...so pumped right now     

[RaiseTheKnife]

Just look for the T-Shirts.  We'll be the folks wearing Hewis Lewis & the News, MC-Hammer, you know the type.


umm, just kidding.  I'm sure you'll spot the black t-shirts a mile away.  I'll be asking for the DTF table.

Sending postive vibes that you will recover . . . but I've been to DT shows sick as a dog.   Once the adrenaline kicks in you will drop your HMO and prescribe DT for everything.  Seriously, DT is the best medicine.

Lefty's is a pretty open place, bar on one side and a buffet like line on the other, with dining tables after it, open seating. We'll try to sit up front of the dining section.  I posted my pic in the last few pages of the picture thread, so just look for my ugly mug.

That worked well last time around. 

I'm actually stressing pretty hard right now.  I've been expecting a deadline on a HUGE project in one of my cases to get moved.  But so far, the judge has not given an order one way or the other.  If we don't get it by close of business today, I may very well have to cancel.  Unfortunately, you can't simply make a federal judge hurry up and give you something.

[lonestar]

Stupid judges.

[yeshaberto]

hey, is anybody at meet up going to have their car with them (or at least nearby)?

[lonestar]

Not here, I'm taking BART in.

[yeshaberto]

no worries...
I think I decided to rent a car.  that way I can store my stuff and then crash out for a few hours before my flight in AM. 
next step is to find cheap parking.
depending on how long all this takes determines what time I will be at the meetup.

[Ħ]

Have a good time, guys!

Parking is a problem.  You won't find anything "cheap" in that part of town.  I paid $25 last time around.  And while I probably could have gotten something a BIT cheaper, it was a secured, watched lot, which is a good thing in that part of town.  Make sure to check the closing time on any lot you park in.  Many garages, including the main one people use for the Warfield, generally close earlier than when you will probably be leaving (for regular concert goers, it should be fine, but an inside source told me you may be staying a little extra late).

[lonestar]

Yup, parking in general is fucked, definatly spend the $ on a secured lot.

[yeshaberto]

I actually found an ace parking lot about a mile away that is 6.99 from 5p to 1:30a.  I decided, though, to park at Daly City BART station and catch the train the rest of the way.  It looks like I would ride it to the montgomery station for Odouls.  From what I read, you can park at BART over the weekend at no cost.

[yeshaberto]

Have a good time, guys!

thanks!

are you too far away to come by for the meet up?

[lonestar]

I get off at Powell St. station, but both are pretty close.

[Ħ]

Have a good time, guys!

thanks!

are you too far away to come by for the meet up?

Nah, I just really don't think I can spend the money at this time. Sorry man, I was looking forward to meeting you! (and seeing the rest of you again!)

[RaiseTheKnife]

One more day!!!!

Wouldnt it be ironic if DT didn't play Breaking All Illusions tomorrow?  Haha, just teasing.

[lonestar]

Not in the least bit funny dude.

[King Postwhore]

I will kill somebody if they don't play it in Boston.

Have a blast tomorrow all of you!!

[jcmistat]

Never peeked at the set list can't wait to be surprised. They will play Breaking All Illusions, I'm not worrying.

[lonestar]

 

[GasparXR]

I wonder if James will mention Canada Day. I kind of expect of him to.

[DebraKadabra]

I wish I was headed out that way to meet up with you crazies and enjoy some live DT goodness, but I have my own shows to look forward to.

RAWK ON, brothas and sistas!

[lonestar]

Thanks Deb

[DebraKadabra]

No prob, man.

[yeshaberto]

24 hours from now my ears will be bleeding

[lonestar]

Today's the day



For the guys travelling in, really overcast this morning, it will probably be cold as fuck in the city after the show, be prepared. As to the meetup, I will be wearing a blue Ithica College sweatshirt or a black tshirt with "disco still sucks" on it. I will be there between five and six pending on when my buddy gets out of work.  See you guys tonight.

[countoftuscany42]

a bunch of friends and i are getting there around 5ish to try and get rail \m/
anyone know of a good parking lot that stays open late? i know the one behind the theater closes like 20 minutes after the show, but we want to meet dt \m/

[lonestar]

SO. FUCKING. CLOSE.

[Ħ]

I'm so excited for you guys!
