Roll call folks!!!!!
Usual meet up at Lefty O'Douls before the show unless anyone has a better idea.
-
hhhmmmm... how can I figure out a business trip to SF that week??
-

DO IT!!! SRSLY!!!
I believe I should be there. Not sure if I will make it to Lefty's. I may be otherwise occupied.
-

DO IT!!! SRSLY!!!
Oh, I'll definitely be trying to figure out a way to do so. Just can't mention it on FB at all. Since my boss and I are friends there.

:metal
-
I'm toying with this one, poss flying up with amigo
-
It's on a Thursday this year, interesting. I'm going to request the day off. I can't miss an "Evening With" holy shit I'm so stoked.
-
Does the Warfield normally sell out? There's no way I can plan a business trip this early... March would be the earliest I could commit to anything.
-
You should be alright man.
-
If you want good seats in the balcony, you need to strike quickly. If you don't mind floor G/A, you should be fine.
-
Yeah, reserved seats do disappear quickly, but their GA section is killer. Multi layered with great view and sound from pretty much everywhere.
-
Bought my GA ticket, boo ya!
-
:metal
-
Do they still stop for In n Out first thing in CA? Just a thought. I don't suppose it's much help for me since they have a show up hear on the northern side before my two shows, but I was considering camping out at a nearby In n Out the day of the show :biggrin:
-
Why? In-n-Out sucks. If they're in the Bay, they need to hit Nation's...
-
Whose going balcony or GA? I'd like to be near others but the last two shows on the previous tour I stood in the same spot and I had an amazing view of the stage and great sound.
-
I'll be going GA. For the last few shows I've seen there I hung out right behind the mixing booth, killer view, perfect sound. Pretty sure that's where bosky and Yeshua(if he makes it) will be as well.

And I - if I can swing it at all.

I'm trying to talk the fam into making a vacation out of it. Save me a spot by the sound booth :)
-

evening with :metal
-

Fuck. Yeah. :metal

Dude, been looking for a good fragment of that scene, Thanks :D
-

WHO ARE YOU? IN-N-OUT IS CALIFORNIA LEGEND.
Anyways, this guy checking in, got meet and greet and G/A tickets because :metal . I haven't received details for the meet and greet yet, does it usually happen before or after the show? And around what time?
-
Before the show but that's all I could tell you.
-

Something can be a legend and still suck man. Worst. Fries. Ever. There, I said it. :-*
You want a good burger, hit up True Burger in Oakland, best in the bay, hands down.
As to the meet and greet, I have no clue.

Oh my. I'll agree to disagree while wolfing down these animal fries. I'm down for a good burger, but man, Oakland...no thanks, I'll stick to the In-N-Out around the corner where I won't get stabbed for just breathing :lol
-
It's in a good part of Oakland. (if you read that without laughing, massive props to you :lol )
-
I lol'd.
But on topic (:neverusethis:), if you are in the Bay Area anyway, I don't see why anyone would even bother not going to Nation's or Val's.
-
Val's is of course, awesome, as is Nation's. True Burger is relatively new, I've eaten there about four or five times, an it leaves both in the dirt, unbelievable burger man. Trust me, I'm a chef. :RJ:

And tickets are in my hot little hands. :metal

Suh-weet!! I still don't have mine, but mail got f'd up around here with the ice storm just before xmas. There are STILL some areas that don't have power!!!

Is it April 17th yet? :caffeine:

Just ordered a ticket and logged on to Amazon.com to buy a pack of new underwear!

BECAUSE HE SHIT HIS PANTS IN EXCITEMENT OVER THAT SETLIST.
-
Ben, shut your pie hole and just get your 30IQ ass down to SF for the show. ok?
-
Something that occurred to me watching the Portugal videos. That stage is fucking HUGE. I think our show is going to be a lot tighter with how much smaller the Warfeild stage is, and that screen is going to cover the whole background area.
Thoughts?
-
I just want to go on record as saying that I think the balcony seats will provide a breathtaking view of the whole thing. Anyone who has not bought tickets already should definitely buy a balcony ticket and NOT a floor ticket. The floor is crowded, stinky, and you can't see ANYTHING. Balcony all the way.
-
Agreed, balcony is totally the way to go. Whoever designed the floor area needs a solid ass whooping.

Unlikely I have a choice... if I get the chance to make a choice.

Probably why balcony is a bit more pricey then floor.
I took floor cause it's cheaper, and cause I'm 6'4. Height advantage. :D
I haven't been to the Warfield in over a year, it's such a beautiful venue. Perfect for DT.
-
6'4''?!?!?! Stay in the back please, k? :p
-

Is that normal for tickets to be mailed so early ? I'm going the two nights after you and don't have anything but the email yet. I didn't think anything of it as it's months away until seeing you got yours two weeks ago.
-
so, same meetup place as last year?
-
Yup, it's easy enough for everyone it seems, and you just can't beat a big slab of beef with gravy before rocking the fuck out. :metal

Not bad. But so much more energy live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrELCBDx36k
-

Haha, can't guarantee that.
But most likely that's where I'll be, or somewhere on the edge. Not too fond of crowds.
Also wondering how they are gonna do the big screen, they'll have to get a smaller screen.

No idea but I bought my tickets and said they'd mail them about 14 days before the event and to contact them if it doesn't arrive by then. Wondering why he got his so early too.
-
Dunno man, I didn't click anything special. Just to have the physical tickets mailed to me. :dunno:
-
One valuable lesson I learned early on is that if you select the "in person delivery by Zydar" option, you should definitely leave the "chloroform?" box unchecked.
-
Speak for yourself man, that turned out to be quite the magical adventure for me.

:zydar:

So, I think I've found a reason to be in San Fran sometime the week of April 14th.

Excellent, turning into a bit of an event for sure. DTF will be meeting my brother too, try not to be too lame guys.

I've been introduced.

Different brother bosk. I got a gang of 'em.

Maybe J Boy will bring those special Canadian lollipops for everyone!
-

Apparently "gotta catch 'em all!" is going to be a bit more time consuming than initially anticipated.
Challenge accepted.

Time for the Canadian Bacon to be sandwiched between two bready (Bearded:Nugget) gentlemen.

-
Yeah, just googled the shit out of it. Barring anything catastrophic, I'll see ya there.
-
whoa!
I so wish I could make that
-
So should I go lower balcony, upper balcony, or GA floor? Is the sound from the floor good or am I just going to be able to hear the drums?
-
I would say sound is more specific to being in the center that anything else. Once you get to the sides, it gets really muddy. I haven't been to the front sections of the floor in a long time, but I was pretty close for Nightwish, and it was still pretty solid. Unless you're over 5'10", then get in the balcony so you don't block my view. :p
-
Haven't posted in a while. Where is everyone watching the show? I have GA tickets and remember a great spot from the last tour. I'd like to meet you guys before the show and possibly hang during too. Couldn't convince any of my friends to go. I know JP is doing a workshop at Guitar Center during the day. Whose going to that and would it interrupt the meet up at Lefty's? What time is the meetup at Lefty's?
Only 6 days away! :metal :metal :metal
-
Hey man, I'll be at all the said events. PM sent to you with more information. Hope to see you bud!!!

So. Fucking. Close. :metal :metal :metal :metal

That's what so tough about being towards the end of the leg. I'd be out of my mind by now.

EH, I'm cool. With ten DT shows under my belt, I am patient. Plus we got the first show last time.
-
my son and I officially left this morning for our road trip to SFO.
lesson learned: 120 to yosemite from eastside of sierras doesn't open very often. fortunately, we found out before we did the 350 mile trek, but not before I booked a non-refundable hotel in mammoth.
tomorrow we spend the day in yosemite, then thurs at Winchester Mystery house.
then, a night of :metal

My first show is on the 18th in Riverside. I was out of my mind the first night of the tour. And now these last few days are just TORTURE

fortunately, I found out the roads from Mammoth to Yosemite were closed before we drove all the way up there.
Yosemite was as awesome as usual!

LESS THAN 24 HOURS. WOW. Anyone else going to the meet and greet?
If not, you'll likely find me before the set at the bar, wherever that ends up being.
-
Just got back from my first SF Giants game of the year. Double nights in the city will be awesome. I'll be taking the train early and walking to the Guitar Center event to see JP. No idea how long that will run but I'm sure I'll have lots of time to roam around before getting in line for the show. If you see a short Asian dude with glasses wearing a DT animation Tee from last tour, holla!
-

Well, the boys did it again. Unbelievable show. Highlights for me were Shattered Fortress, BAI, the whole Awake section (I fucking lost my shit hard during Mirror/Lie, the guys will attest to it), and...well shit..the whole show was a highlight.
The Guitar Center event was amazing, having Sterling Ball there just made it, so much history and respect for the craft and the music. Such a memorable experience (plus watching JP bust out Dance of Eternity and Enigma Machine from ten feet away was pretty cool too)
Awesome to see all you guys, we'll surely gather again for the next go round. Chad, I fully expect you to fly to SF for every DT show from now on man. :metal

I have to agree. BAI and the Awake section were absolutely nuts and there's nothing like an Evening With show. Wonderful to meet everyone, you guys know how to rock, keep it going!
I managed to get in with my little camera and took some decent pictures and video. I'll post them later. They pulled me aside and wouldn't let me in for a while but it all worked out.

I'll see what I can do about that.
The band was spot on again, even a month into the tour. Great venue, great concert, great company!
-
Outstanding show. It was cool meeting jingle.boy and jcmistat and seeing others that I have met before. Cool meeting Matt Guillory and Frank and Michelle Aresti as well. More later...
-
such a magnificent show on so many levels.
it was great meeting jingle.boy and jcmistat, and hanging again with lonestar. these guys know how to :metal
-
Sounds awesome, guys!
-
I'm still pumped up from the show last night, hoping they do second NA tour and come back. I also thought the light show was much better than the last tour.
First video is uploaded. I'll be updating this post with a few more. Of course go 1080p!
