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??

because well, it's hot and i'm not a bitch. i'm all for good karma.

i was thinking the same thing... get a case of gatorade, ice it this afternoon, walk along the line and make enough profit to pay for my ticket :) miss p - that's my biz education over-riding my karma-meter :)

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 . . . .
-
I'll be there. Green shorts and an unpatriotic red white and blue polo.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

using your iphone? they won't be at the filmore for a little while so enjoy your wait.
-
I'm planning to get there between 7 and 8. I'll see if I can find a Star Wars T-shirt to wear. ;)
-
i am arriving from a far off place around seven thirty to eight, park in the lot, walk down the sidewalk, see what is going on and head on in. my attire will be the most offensive flaming lips shirt i can find.

LIES! My Harry Potter reading girlfriend has not arrived yet...
-
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'.

If I were using an iPhone it would have taken me three days to post that. Using my Q on the Verizon network so I can post in realtime.
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...

My bad. Excuse me, I'll head down to the 9:30. Does anybody mind if I bring a few underage girls with me to keep you all company?

Well it looks like all of Mrs. Anderson's 6th grade calls and some of the 5th grade as well.

Only if you drop them off at my house first...it's just around the block ;) LOL

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.
-
...the more underage girls the better!!

You're my hero.

I'm the anti-Ian MacKaye. My priorities change with the wind, and I will sell out in a heartbeat for the right payday.

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!

I must meet you & purchase a drink. Your posting has hit new levels of excellence recently, & I am impressed. For the record, I am not impressed by very much . . . .

Very true. You're impressed by Silversun Pickups, and they don't seem like very much. :p

Their new album is growing on me!

OK, me and the girls have finally made it across town on our bikes down to 930 F St. and you guys can relax, there's nobody here yet.
-
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)?

What's the over/under on them playing "Starla"? I noticed it was at a majority of the Asheville shows. Think we'll luck out tonight?
-
Yeah. I am aware of that after the whole said-concert-of-legendary-group-in-Oakland-he-went-to-that-doesn't-exist fiasco.

It's good to see that fatherhood has not dulled the double-edged sword that is Rhett's acerbic wit. ;)

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.
-
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
-
what songs do you hope they don't bring along?
will they be "cheesy, but appropriate" and open with today?
-
they'd better never even think of playing 'rock on' ever again.
-
Opening with "Cherub Rock" would send the place into a frenzy!

very cute...I'll trade you my Soft Complex t-shirt for your Crocodile Cafe one.
-
Since nobody's down here yet, me and the girls are heading over to Ben's Chili Bowl. Anyone care to join us?
-
Crocodile Cafe from Seattle?
-
i think i'll be thre between 7 and 730, though maybe earlier...
looks like i'm just gonna go with a plain white t-shirt because of the heat. i'll be lugging around recording gear.
-
TICKETS WERE JUST RELEASED!!
-
So now that I got tickets ten minutes ago... :eek: ...where is everyone meeting up? Is it best to just head to the line? I am sending a scout to get in line for me and check out the scene, but I am excited I can finally list myself on the roll call for this show. Anyone meeting in backbar after the show?
-
I'm still over at Ben's Chili Bowl, but I'm heading over to Duffy's in a few minutes. Meet me there.
-
OK, i will be there is some pants and a tee shirt...i swear i dont know what kind cause my friend is meeting me with them after work...
