Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Not many pubs that are in walking distance to Center Stage. Spotted Dog is down the street, short driving distance. Decent selection of beers/etc. Any takers?

30 North Ave Ne
Atlanta, GA 30308

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

My wife and I may be there. depends on schedules though... good pub though.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

it all depends on whether or not i have a performance that night. being an actor is great and all, but it sucks when it gets in the way of other things that never ever happen.

but i'd still like to get cast.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

It would be great to meet other Dirts before, i'm game.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Greetings!

This is my first post on the forum.

My girlfriend and I will be coming from just north of Detroit, wanted to say hello!

Any idea what security is like at Center Stage?

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

seriously considering flying in for this show. how many people does the venue hold?

what are the odds for another us date?

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

You haven't put on THAT much weight over christmas, surely? :p

well, looks like capacity is 1100 but the venue does look great.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

I'll try for it as time allows......might be hectic getting up to Atlanta and back in time for my and my friend to work the next day, so I'm not sure what kind of schedule I'll be tied to.

I'd love to though.:)

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

i'm not sure my husband would forgive me if i told him we were going to be meeting up with a bunch of people who are as nerdy over this band as i am. :p

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Put me down for 2! My friend from Detroit will be joining me on this trip as well. :)

TheNetwerk: Might be cool for you to meet him eh?

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Geoff, that could be neat.

We're looking at arriving sometime Friday. We'll probably leave here Thursday night.

Geoff, where are you coming from that your friend will be meeting you up? Just curious.

I asked about security because sadly, I don't see Underworld recording a US show and putting it out -- although I really, really wish they would.

The show in Denver was excellent. Thankfully I have a few clips on youtube to help me remember how awesome of a show it was :)

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

I'm coming from Boston, flight arriving at 4:30 friday. Can't wait for this :)

Does the Spotted Dog have decent food? I'm going to be hungry...

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

I'll be there. I'll be at whatever meetup you guys pick as well! I'm not sure when I'm arriving though - most likely Thursday night. I have friends that live in Morrow, GA so I'll be staying there and driving in for the show.

Can't wait.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Depending when we get in (we're looking at a 12+ hr drive) we may be up for a meet.

Is it wrong that I'm already hoping for certain songs to make the setlist?
Sept 2007 was my first Underworld show and the setlist was incredible, but we missed out on Juanita/Kiteless..

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

It's never wrong to hope for Juanita.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

I'll third this. Probably gonna start a request thread soon for this song specifically seeing that it worked for the folks in Berlin. I've seen UW 4 times now, but Juanita has escaped me everytime (as well as Kittens). :( Getting very excited about the upcoming show, esp. with all the recent wonderful setlists.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

if it's wrong, i don't want to be right. i want to hear you do scribble live in person so badly that i can hardly stand it.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Threnody and I will be where ever the final meetup is decided on. Luckily, we can both take that day off and take a leisurely 3 hour drive into Atlanta, to whatever hotel is lucky enough to have us grace it with our presence.

SO looking forward to this show!

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

The Spotted Dog is good. The Vortex, etc as mentioned earlier... I'll be there with a buddy. The wife bailed.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Neither would my wife!
Actually - I'm concerned that since its a Gen. Admission show we won't get good seats if we meet up beforehand :(

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

That's why we meet up early... besides who needs seats when you'll be dancing your arse off!!! However, for those inclined to watch there really isn't a bad seat in the house.

What time should we start the pre-show festivities?

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

FYI half the venue has seats half is open floor. At least that's how it was for LCD Soundsystem.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

It's a great venue. Saw Skinny Puppy there June 2007: good sound, and all the seats that surround the floor are stadium style, so there's not a bad seat in the place.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

SO when are we meeting? Still at the Spotted Dog I'm assuming.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

6:30p... head to the venue no later than 8:30?

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Holly is coming as well. Any other DL old timers?

(I'm kinda gonna miss taunting Darren. Good times, good times.)

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

I was registered on that yahoo list years ago defore dirty.org. But then, like now, I mostly read and rarely post.

I'll be there in Atlanta though, first time seeing UW for me.

I'll be sneaking one, maybe two cameras in, so I'll have pictures and maybe video.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

THRENODY!
Whoa!
FLASHBACK!

Neat o- the old Dirts. back in the house!

Spotted Dog 630? wow. seems kind of early? I dunno, i get the feeling it's going to be a lONG nite.

Who's making the DIRTY Banner? :)

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Thren wants to go to the Vortex, so here's hoping the meet can take place there? :confused:

Erp... Looks like the Dog has been chosen....

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Lectoid -

Underworld doesn't seem to mind cameras, so why do they play venues that are so uptight about them/not just let them in? I mean, for christ's sake guys..

I'll be up to something devious as well, no need not to share a rare US appearance with the people who cannot make it.

I wish Underworld would tape their own shows in the US and offer them up for us. I'd buy them and I know many others would.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Yup, I'll be there. I took the day off. Will try to make thee dirtymeet.

OH MY GOD I'M SO EXCITED! :D

-Holls

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

My cough seems to have miraculously got a lot better all of a sudden. ;)

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

And they are so close. The spotted dog is large enough though for all of us...

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

And it just seems so apropos, no?

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Absolutely. Maybe a rick a karl and a darren would be there. surely they eat.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Hell, I wish I knew the house engineer, I'd ask him for a feed. Does anyone have any recording hardware in case this becomes a possibility? My good friend was a house engineer at a theater in Indy and he told me he'd always give someone a feed if they were cool about it. At a smaller venue, such as this, you can just walk up to the guy before the show and talk to him.

For shits and giggles, I actually e-mailed/called the local newspapers and offered to cover this show in exchange for a free press pass. I was turned down obviously, but it was worth a shot.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

When I called this venue about cameras a few weeks ago, they said it's up to the band. She said call day of show (Friday) and she'd know for sure. Whether or not they even ask the band is questionable. But she also could have just said no, so there is hope.

If cameras are allowed, I have a canon point-and-shoot that also does video w/ sound and I have a DSLR that I would consider bringing as well. Probably overkill, especially since I'd have to lug the damn thing around, but I doubt I will get another chance like this.

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

If you want to spot me, I'll be the guy in the front whose hands block every cool shot.

Oh, and I won't be attending the meet-up (me and my girlfriend like to do our own thing in cities), but if I spot Rick or Karl in town, I'll run over to the Dog, burst in and yell "FELLOW DIRTIES! FOLLOW ME!"

Hey, it's a definite possibility. When I went to the Chemical Brothers show in Brooklyn, we were looking for a place to eat. We passed by this one fancy restaurant, because we were in the mood for fast, greasy garbage. I only found out later that Ed Simons was eating there at that very moment :(

Re: Meet Up Atlanta 3/28
 

Hahah, the local paper didn't know what the tape was that they were sent of Beaucoup fish when it came out! If they didnt' know then, they sure aren't going to know now...
