It can also get you thrown out of the show/equipment taken away. It points you out/draws attention to you..

If I knew ahead of time for 100% certain I could get a patch and all would be cool etc, I'd have no problem..

Hopefully someone will get some audio from the show.;)

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

I hate when venues do this. The venues say it's up to the artists and the artists will say it's up to the venue.

I've seen a few artists in concert who I've talked to directly, in advance, that said I could bring a camera and have at it -- only to find my stuff confiscated by security after the first snap.

If you find anything out, please be sure to let us know!

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Have a friend go up and ask the question. If he gets the OK, hand him the equipment to get the patch. If the answer is no, your friend is under suspicion, and you're none the worse for wear, aside from now having to ditch your friend. :D

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

I think that's a bit extreme. It's not like you'd walk in with a reel to reel asking where to put it.

You walk up and ask the sound guy for a feed, he says no, then you walk away. I sincerely doubt that would get you thrown out.

My friend who is the house engineer used to do this all of the time. Usually they'd say no, but a few times they'd at least let him stand in that area and hang out with him. He knew the lingo and the equipment commonly used so that helped I am sure.

Not totally sure if I can make the meet since my friend is driving from Detroit and he'll be tired. (That's a 12 hour drive...) but I'll try my best to pressure him.

If I can't make it, I hope to meet some of you dirts at the show. So if you see a guy who looks like this with some extra chin hair, be sure to say hi. (And feel free to compliment me on my "what you talkin 'bout willis" impression. :D)

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Just got an email with the suject: 'Underworld almost sold out!' from Rival Entertainment. So I guess it must be close to selling out. But I can still buy 50 tickets at Ticketmaster.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

They would probably say that anyway. :) Typical tactic to try and push sales ... but who knows.

It will be interesting to see how many people actually show up tomorrow. This gig is a bit of an oddity wouldn't you say? The small crowd should be a rare treat.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

I thought about having a few people attempt to buy 50 tickets at the same time since ticketmaster holds on to them for a few minutes. If two people did it, that would be 100 tickets, or about 9% of the seating capacity.

But then I realized I don't care, I have my ticket, that's all that matters.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

i'm going to try to make it to the spotted dog. will there be a 'dirty' sign?

the wife is staying home sick, so i'll either be solo or with my cousin, if she can make it.

any tips on a decent parking lot near the pub? bummer to pay to park at the pub and then at the venue as well. it will be better than walking 17 blocks, that's for sure. thanks. safe travels everyone.

edit: i'll be wearing my appropriate "dirty" brown shirt.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Hey disko, the train will easily connect you from the pub to the venue. So you should be able to park in just one place. Somebody here said the Spotted Dog is literally right next door to North Ave station. And the venue is about 1-2 blocks from the Arts Center station. Check out this map . See you all tomorrow!!! :D:D:D
