Title: pumpkins roll call/pregame
Post by: miss pretentious on July 10, 2007, 08:37:00 am
instead of wading through the 19+ pages of the rumor, let's make an actual thread of just roll call... plus any pregame plans you may have.
 
 me - i'll be in dark blue skinny jeans and a bright blue tank with little white hearts on it. white headband.
 
 i'll probably get there around 4:30ish. depending on line/heat, may be at duffy's or another bar.
 
 the creepy clause still stands...

My girl will be there around 11AM....not sure what she is wearing but she will be in a folding chair reading Harry Potter. I will join her in line around 3.
 
 Damn, I'm lucky.

4:30ish is just about the hottest time of day, and this may well be the hottest day of '07 (WeatherBug says it's already 87 here in Greenbelt). Don't forget to hydrate, y'all.
 
 Someone could make a killing selling water to the line.

I'm at work (around K + 19) til 4:30pm but I might skip out a little early.
 
 Dark blue jeans, black Merrell shoes, black T, black hair, plain black wristband on right wrist. Maybe a red Nationals cap.
 
 I saw 'em at Asheville 7/23 but this is much closer to home.
 
 I dunno how to actually get home (to Virginia) afterwards tho. I don't want to drive in (I Metro into work) but it seems Metro closes around 11:45pm. Any tips??

Yours truly will be in the building in all my splendor.  I'll have on a Clash shirt.  5' 10", dark-skinned, good hair, etc.  Holla @ a playa when you see him in the street.  I have a feeling you'll know it's me once you see me.  LOL . . . .
Title: Re: pumpkins roll call/pregame
Post by: Driveway on July 10, 2007, 10:06:00 am
I'll be there.  Green shorts and an unpatriotic red white and blue polo.
Title: Re: pumpkins roll call/pregame
Post by: MindCage on July 10, 2007, 10:23:00 am
I'll probably wander up at some point during the day just to see the line. Maybe I'll snap some pics and post them as an "update"  :)
 
 I'll be the guy with the dog named Corgan...
 
 Probably won't go to the show until closer to 9pm though. Do some pregame at home and avoid the long line and Celebration.  Would be up for after-show backbar though.

i'll be there at some point. i don't know when i'm leaving here yet.  don't know what i'm wearing.  gotta coordinate my outfit.
Title: Re: pumpkins roll call/pregame
Post by: bnyced0 on July 10, 2007, 10:46:00 am
No line for me, be there around the time Celebration comes on.  Likely a green Sonic Youth shirt, floppy hat, but the burns will give me away.
Title: Re: pumpkins roll call/pregame
Post by: Sage 703 on July 10, 2007, 10:46:00 am
Probably arriving sometime around 7:45 or 8:00.  I'll be the tall guy wearing jeans, Chucks, and a black Crocodile Cafe t-shirt.  With longish hair.
Title: Re: pumpkins roll call/pregame
Post by: Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface on July 10, 2007, 11:05:00 am
I'll get there around 2 or 3. Will be the guy asking everyone to play spades, go fish, or capitalism with him.

I'm already down here.  The line is not too bad, but it is hotter than a half fucked fox in a forest fire.  I just told the cute girl sitting a couple people down from me that Snape kills Dumbledore.  She's pissed.  I'll have to make it up to her.

Smackie, this is the line for the Smashing Pumpkins, not Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.  Also, you might want to check that girl's ID.  Just sayin'.

 It's getting hotter, BTW.

Beware hipsters who expect to show up at 9:15 and breeze in.

 With it being 100% will call, if enough of you do that you won't avoid a line, you'll only cause one to appear again and risk missing the first few pumpkins songs...

Well, as much of a stink as I put up, nostalgia beat out my principles, and I wound up with a ticket.  What could I do?  I wound up pulled up three sets trying to help people out...if that's not a sign to go, what is?  Yep, I'm a scenester.
 
 I'll be showing up around 7:30 or 8, trying to find tinygee who got my extra ticket.  I'll mostly likely be in shorts and a pink Fiery Furnaces shirt, and probably looking a little forlorn until they play older stuff.

I'm on the road as soon as Kim gets here.  I'll have folding chairs, snacks, and drink with me.  We will be heading upstairs for the show.  With a total over well over 50 pieces of titanium in me from various injuries/repairs, I can no longer handle the floor at most any show, but I still have a kick ass time!

So we all expect the Pumpkins to play for three hours, right? That would put the end of the show at around 12:30am. I usually take the Metro (last train to Greenbelt at 12:21), but I don't want to miss the end of the show. I don't suppose anyone here is driving back to College Park or Greenbelt after the show and would be willing to give me a ride (if the show runs past 12:17am)?

Really? I'd guess they're bringing the big guns tonight, it being a 'record-release party' and all . . . so I'd say over and would be happy to be right.

Post by: tinygee on July 10, 2007, 12:53:00 pm
here are my hopeless hopes of what they'll play, a wishlist of sorts (in no order whatsoever):
 here is no why
 cherry
 rotten apples (the original way, not like recently)
 starla
 hummer
 sweet sweet
 luna
 galapogos
 in the arms of sleep
 to forgive
 vanity
 real love
 on and on and on and on.........i cant fucking wait for the show
