DeKalb, IL 7/11
This one is at Otto's which is a pretty decent club about an hour away from me. Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa folks? It's 2 days after my birthday too. Tickets already in hand.
We call him Scooby Do, but Scooby doesn’t do. Scooby, is not involved
DBT-July 11th Ottos Dekalb, IL
Looks like they may have added this show very recently. Kick ass small bar/club just off of NIU's campus. I've seen a few great shows at this place including North Mississippi Allstars with Lucero opening up in '02 I believe. They'll really love playing this place in between two of their Tom Petty dates. Can't wait! Grabbed 4 tix a second ago.
Re: DeKalb, IL 7/11
Both posting at the same time I guess. I look forward to seeing you again TC. I'm of course in.

I may be making this one. Probably need to pull the trigger soon.

This should be a hell of a hot, sweaty RAWK SHOW. Mr. B and the Mrs. shall be there.

Problem is, When Drifter and I get together, I'm the one that brings down the property values

I'm going to have to stay at Day's Motor Lodge next time I am in Lexington. The stories that those guys told us over dinner had me rolling on the ground. Never made it back to party there though.

Re: DeKalb, IL 7/11
Just looked at the tour schedule, this show is sandwiched in between a bunch of opening slots for TP and festival type gigs. I have a feeling it is going to be brought for this show.

One year to the day of the THS show I think. I'm sure we could find you a freezer in DeKalb to crawl into.

Re: DeKalb, IL 7/11
Just watched the DBT Webisode for "After The Scene Dies" (see below), and, I'm seeing a connection to this show at Otto's. Someone not on this board asked me why DBT would do a gig at a tiny spot in an out of the way place like this in the midst of their mega-petty-opening run, etc. And - I think this video answers that one. Loved Patterson mentioning Liberty Lunch in Austin - I remember that place from back when I lived there. Glad to be a part of this Otto's thing.

Otto's should be a great place to see DBT. My brother's band plyaed a gig there the night after we burried our uncle and he let me sit in on cowbell. I damn near destoyed that thing.
Dell Lounge shot some docco videos about the clubs in Austin that became an Old Navy. Here's the one about Liberty Lunch.

I loved Liberty Lunch! What a great place that was.
Lofty Dog, eh? The chick who runs that place rocks!

Re: DeKalb, IL 7/11
This will be my first DBT show.
I love Otto's. I've seen so many great shows there and have had great times although some I can't remember. I'm really glad to see one of my favorite bands at one of my favorite venues.
There's also a bar called Lord Stanley's a few buildings down. Awesome beer selection, reasonably priced, and cool atmosphere. Great place to have a few beers while waiting for DBT

wrekker - can't wait to put a face to the name - your show over on the NC is the stuff of legend.
p.s. - I'm in WC also - not sure what magic ticket machine TC has access to.
