Re: Brooklyn bowl ticket for sale

It was of course great to see all the usual suspects and to meet more than the usual number of old names/new faces. I was particularly impressed that both Gaetzi and Mr. B came in from CO and IL, respectively, just for the Saturday show. Great to meet Gaetzi and renew my fleeting acquaintance w/ Mr...

Re: Last Movie Watched

I agree, but I’m still glad that I watched. I wouldn’t call the movie unwatchable by any stretch but it is probably not as good as the least exciting episode of the Sopranos. The tv show leaves such a high mark! ok but a little disappointing https://www.vitalthrills.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/s...

Pretty sure I'll be able to buy these from you -- still need to finalize our schedule, but it looks like we'll be going to this show. I'll circle back in a week or so and if the tickets are still available...

Its generally not a good sign to get swept by the Tigers, especially when you are no-hit by a guy who lost 17 games two years ago.

Pollstar has a show listed at the Metro in Chicago on 9/12 The original rescheduled Chicago show was for 9/12/20 at the Vic. The Pollstar listing may be a placeholder or it may be accurate. There is no DBT show currently listed for September 2021 on the Metro website. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/o...

Received e-mail notice today that the June 25 show in Evanston has been rescheduled to September 3. I think that's a realistic date all things considered. It is too optimistic to hope that a tour starts by August and this is just one of many shows?

Hopefully wherever it is it will be a 2 or 3 nite stand over a weekend. I have a feeling a lot of people will want to travel to those shows and that scenario is best.
