didn't see any familiar faces in Portland last night.....then again, not sure how long it's been since I've posted here, or how familiar I still am haha brought the two girls last night......front and center on the rail, emma's 4th time riding the rail (she's now 15) and zoe's 3rd (13).......admitte...

the wife got me tickets for my birthday back in november


the logistics of a mid-week show 4 hours away just aren't shaping up


anyone going that still needs tickets?

face value is $25 - i'll eat the fees

Portland, ME tix bought!


my girls say nothing but the front row (again) will do!

youngest rail riders on the tour? (they are now a mature 9 and 11 haha)

"lately"



lmao

Aug 16 as part of the LL Bean Summer Concert series - free outdoor Isbell show!


probably not the right forum for this, but the 'former band members' doesn't seem to get much action

killer set list

just dropped Patterson a note on his FB account - not sure if he ever reads that or not i know some here are close with members of the band......please pass on a father's thanks if that's you to the 3DD members that gave much love to my two, also a huge thanks - they've been showing off their picks ...

"exceptional execution of questionable parenting"



good line.....but after last night, i might dispute the questionable part

the kids were so jacked after the encore (started with a wink and a nod from Jay and "Marry Me"......thanks UR & CG for the effort) that they stayed awake until Freeport they still keep asking how everyone knew me......and why they were such a big deal thanks to CG and many other 3DDer...

novare res kicks ass...... no TV's there, though just an aside: Oxbow is just a few miles from the house.....we are regulars at the brewery Speaking of beer & Maine.... Novare Res Bier Café is a tremendous place. For instance: With over 30 rotating taps, kegs change all the time – check back oft...

there's more than a few good restaurants/places to grab a drink closer to the Port City (same neighborhood as the State) not sure where the kids and i will end up......emma wants noodles from Pai Men Miyake, but Otto's Pizza is right there, too if anyone needs a caffeine fix, Speckled Axe is right o...

he says Ri-Ra, but get there early

i've got a friend that is a big soccer ball fan



i've asked him, i will report back......

my 8 and 10 year olds are pretty pumped for this one hopefully we can make our way down front; it wasn't too bad at the HOB in boston, but i only had one.....my 8 year old is a tough little shit, but she's a peanut! not sure who's taking the 4th ticket, as my dad had to bail due to surgery today.......

official here as well......both daughters and my dad will be joining, if all goes as planned!

oops.....they DO allow minors with parents....we're cool!

18+ show



my kids are going to be PISSED

sweet!


looks like the 7 year old will get to go, too


is it all reserved seating at Port City?

and it looks like an odd placement for preferred seating??

got to see one show this leg, by all accounts a good one



while i am envious of those who saw multiple nights, i gotta wonder if the withdrawal pains are that much worse than mine?



already chasing the dragon so to speak.....hoping for NE fall dates so i can go again

kick ass


i can even see my head in the 2nd one...lol

as i said to joni via PM, i could have sworn Cooley smirked in Emma's direction during marry me, but i am pretty sure i was seeing things

we got home about 3......emma stayed awake until we made a Dunkin Donuts run out on Rte 1 in Saugus......then she was out cold great night.....emma & i had lunch in portland at our favorite noodle joint.......zero traffic, we made it to the beer works and had a snack and a stout and a root beer ...

no "Marry Me" last night......hopefully it goes back in tonight, Emma is dying to hear it live!

emma and i will be at the beer works at some point, probably a good bit before 6


i'll be the guy with the red* goatee and the too cute 9 year old








*and white

emma is cool with the beer works......we go there before sox games my only concern is getting a spot where emma can see on the floor......ultimately getting up front would be key, but i don't think she can handle opening act and the wait in between along the rail.....my guess is we'll do our best to...

bump


emma & I both have the day off......so we're getting lunch in Portland and getting down there early

tickets came in the mail today


if she doesn't hear "marry me", emma might cry or tear the HOB apart...lol


she's still coming to terms with the concept that she won't hear 'outfit' or 'decoration day......
