ATHENS 2012

[Smarty Jones]

I dipped into my pathetic savings account and sacrificed a future down payment on a horse, car, or house, for my tickets. So I guess I'm in... As long as there's a 24-hr Meijer or Wal Mart somewhere nearby, I'm good on lodging. Now I'll just have to figure out my transportation between now and then (and NO, unfortunately horseback is not an option ).

[Slipkid42]

Smarty, You just have to get lucky w/your Breeder's Cup bets & you'll replenish that paltry account.

[G MAMA]

Got the liver ready....

see ya there

[bnzz]

Yes! Got the in for Friday and Saturday!

[TDB]

I take it the pre-sale tix are gone? There is no link on the DBT page for tix.

[one belt loop]

Bought tix for all three. In for nights 2 and 3, night 1 up in the air depending on work and family schedules, etc. Woo hoo!

We love virgins in Athens

Speak for yourself.

[one belt loop]

Yup, from Norway. Figured out how to purchase. The deal is done.

Now I just have to find the reasonably priced airline tickets...

Ok, just remember I get to buy that third drink!

Funny story, several years ago my cousin went on a road trip with his cousin from Oslo. He was about to have his first child and wanted to go on an old fashioned American road trip with his friends and my cousin before settling down to family life. At the top of his list was a visit to the 40 Watt in Athens, actually beating me to that honor by several years. They just went and saw a random band on a weekday as I recall, but the experience was well worth it for all of them. You get to do them one better and see DBT. Looking forward to meeting you.

Excellent! I'm really looking forward to this!! Plane tickets secured as well. A tad more expensive than in my budget. I guess that will have to be covered by the contingency

I am flying in on wednesday (11th). There was an option for thursday as well but arriving until approx 7 pm in Atlanta. With the show starting at 8 pm I guess that I could have made it in time to see the main act. However coming via Newark in January, with possibilities for snow storms and what have you, I didn't take the chance. Instead arriving one day in advance I will have an extra day in Athens to look around and shake off the jet lag.

let me know what time you are supposed to be getting in and perhaps we can make the trip from ATL to Athens together. I haven't booked my flight yet.

oh, and, uh, hi.

Coming in from the Uk Wednesday night, Athens about 2100 I should think curtesy of Delta Airlines flight to Atlanta. We will be known I guess being British. I will be surprised if we are the only ones though. The only time I have seen another gig in the States was Springsteen & never been to Georgia, but have been to Mississippi, Louisiana & Tennessee, so hopefully this will be special, even though it is January. I thought we were mad coming frpm the UK, but Oslo, now that is impressive.

Got mine for Saturday night! Will be my fourth Rock Show, first Athens trip.

Can't commit just yet (due to work issues), but definitely planning on it.

Ok, me and 2 buddies are coming in from Oklahoma and Texas. Our first Athens trip...we've talked about it for years...finally pulling the trigger.

I am fired up. If there is anything these newbies need to know, feel free to throw it out there!

Look at the primer jonicont posted. Good stuff there and there will surely be more info added. Glad you're making the trip!

[Clams]

In for Friday and Sat. Tickets and staying at the courtyard.

And just like that, the Philly contingent has doubled in size. South Philly and the great northeast represent!

[GW in IA]

I really hate to dissapoint you guys,
but looks like we're gonna be there too.
Fri and Sat purchased, Thurs. on the maybe pile for now.
Courtyard booked (but I will spend more time than is appropriate at the Dazed! )


Sooooo HAPPY!

[Smitty]

Ok, count me & Ladonna in for atleast one of the nights

I'm out this year, kiddies. I expect plenty of reporting and photography for those of us living vicariously through the rest of all y'all.





And yes, BTB, I used "vicariously" just for you.

That's nice and all but it can't possibly make up for your absence

[beergut]

Why is it cheaper to fly through ATL to another city than just ATL WTF?????????

[dogstar]

I'm going to fly in on Tuesday to give me a whole day to get over the jet lag.

I've booked a double room at the Courtyard and I'm coming on my own so if anyone is interested in sharing a room/cost then PM me.

[Slipkid42]

I am in like sin.

[SouthCarolinaRed]

Tickets purchased for all three nights!! Now comes the interesting part...convincing Mr SCRed. Still have tix no matter what he says (and it's a short drive). Woo hoo!
