Makes me all the more grateful that I would be far more likely to miss a Homecoming, due to whatever adversity, than she would.beantownbubba wrote:Now officially in for all 3 nites. Phew! Cheaper service fees and easier ordering process too.
Several methods have been discussed in past years. You might check out the '15 & '16 threads, although you'll have to wade through a lot to find what you're looking for. My preferred method is to suggest that my wife might like to take a long wkend to see her best friend/go to a spa/ see X's new baby/see the great [insert favorite hobby convention or exhibit in a great city here], either that wkend (if u dont have kids) or some other wkend (if you do).pearlbeer wrote:Tickets are available for purchase at the 40 Watt.

Stick with it: At this point, homecoming weekend is an accepted part of our annual calendar, no quid pro quo needed*

Yeah, I've tried the make your wife a fan route and have had some success, but only w/in a limited geographic radius.Tequila Cowboy wrote: Makes me all the more grateful that I would be far more likely to miss a Homecoming, due to whatever adversity, than she would.

Apsen and Red Rocks were already pitched as a 'quick get away', and I have the kids saying "thank you Cooley" before each meal. She calls that 'ridiculous', I call it 'good parenting'.
Love each other, Motherfuckers!
Re: HOMECOMING 2017
After the first year, it gets easier. The first year conversation typically starts with "You're going where?" The second year is more along the lines of "Again? (heavy sigh)". The third year becomes "I may come along this time." Haven't figured out quite how to handle that one yet.Markalanbishop wrote:Kudos for buying the tix first.

Re: HOMECOMING 2017
I just bring mine along. She went from being "able to stomach DBT" to being a pretty big fan of the band after 30+ shows. I just kept dragging her along (and she's a great designated driver ).

Re: HOMECOMING 2017
Yeah, I know it always says that...and I always see a kid or too. In fact, I feel like I've watched one of them grow up right before my eyes at HC every year. I bought the tix, will probably call the 40 Watt and explain the situation as we get closer.ramonz wrote:Just rocked the tix at 40 Watt site - all set!

Re: HOMECOMING 2017
My wife comes to shows where she can get a seat, e.g., Georgia Theatre and the Tabernacle. Although she's going to miss November 19th because she's having a knee replacement on the 17th. Nevertheless, me and our three daughters will all be there! Priorities, you knowFlea wrote:The third year becomes "I may come along this time." Haven't figured out quite how to handle that one yet.

Re: HOMECOMING 2017
My wife came with me on my first year and attended part of one show. DBT isn't really her thing, but she did say she liked them better live than studio. I think her going with me that year took the mystery of "what the hell is he out there doing." She now has no interest in going to Homecoming and we've both kinda figured she has her things that work better without me around and I have my things that work better without her around.

Re: HOMECOMING 2017
I'm in for Friday/Saturday, my 5th homecoming. The girlfriend tried it out last time and liked it, but not enough to come back this time. She's going to the Tabernacle show though, so it may be a seats vs. no seats issue as someone above mentioned.

Why can't I buy tickets? The tickets link on the 40 Watt site does nothing. Tell me it ain't sold out.

One of these Days has been back in almost semi-regular rotation during the Fall Tour. Hopefully it makes it to Homecoming.Eem wrote:My DBT white whales are The Southern Thing, One of these Days, and full-band Cottonseed... hoping to get two of the three at Homecoming
