Can chip in for gas...anyone driving back that can hook me up with a ride? redredlarry@yahoo.com
-
do you have any hemp necklaces for trade?
-
I may have someone that can give you a ride if you're bringing the helium tanks!
-
Helium? Don't you mean nitrous?
-
no he meant helium. that way if the roads are f*ed up, they can float to the show. now that's showing up "high!"
but really, trey better do the right thing and postpone the show! it may not be that bad up until show time . . . but during and def. after, the roads will be a blizzard making it very dangerous for people. not worth it. come on trey, make it safe for the phans!
and i just love this from the "another forum" about the 930 club -
"that sucks big time for parking and for people driving from far away, but that's irrelevant to whether this show goes off- 930 club doesn't care about parking or fans. the main roads around DC are clear now and won't be (totally) blocked on Tuesday even if we get 8-10 inches of extra snow, all they need are a couple of good 4WD vehicles to ferry in their staff and the band 930 club does not care about the concert goers."
-
Seems like it would make complete sense to reschedule. They prolly make most of their money off of the concessions (read: booze) sales and if hardly anyone can make it in the snow and won't want to drink and drive in a blizzard anyway - then wouldn't they want to to resched in order to make more money off of the show at a later date?

Ahh...stupid PT and their anti-930 nonsense.
The only threads worth reading/posting in over there are the noise/psych/drone/experimental music ones.
Yet another edit: Walkies, is this the thread to which you are referring? (http://phantasytour.com/phish/boards_thread.cgi?threadID=2198802&page=1)

dat the one i found amusing. i was reading anything and everything about the tues club show, so i ventured over to the phantasy. been waiting for a while for this trey show, hate to sound selfish, and yes i have eaten tickets before to things i really "had" to see . . . but i will be dissapointed if he plays with the factors of thirty or so inches to begin with and then another snow starting tomorrow morning and lasting all day and evening, bringing up to ten to fifteen inches, and being blizzard conditions with twenty-five mile an hour winds by the time he would be done, which would seriously put the people (who dared show up in the first place) in mucho danger trying to get home, especially when they have an hour or more to drive. do the right thing, trey; spike lee approves.
-
Walkie, are you saying that Trey has inherited the snow version of the Radiohead curse?
-
If Trey postpones, the next day that could work for both the band and the club is 3/10. This assumes that neither Trey nor any of the band has anything to do that night and that nobody has a hold on the club.

the tour will be over by then, so they'd have to gather everyone & the gear for a one-off show = unlikely.
the club could always do an early/late split on wednesday with la roux... although there is no guarantee they don't cancel that as well (i'd be surprised tho, since it should stop snowing earlier in the day. the residents did their show on sunday, right?).

damn . . . you're good.

I know the 9:30 Club is extremely greedy evidenced by the overselling of the place, but are they really that irresponsible that they will hold a concert tonight if it's snowing heavily?
-
Ultimately, whether the show happens or not is Trey's decision.
Oh and KYS.

a guy thats posted over 6,000 times on a message board telling me to kill myself, hilarious

Can you say half empty club and minimal wookies??
Bring on the ice and snow!
Woo!
-
but don't you think the club would atleast approach the artist and say, "hey, you're putting our staff and our clients and our future clients at extreme danger. don't you think it would be wiser, so somebody doesn't get hurt or even die in a accident just because you don't want to reschedule." i feel the club should show some responsibility when it comes to the lives of patrons. no show is worth a death because of the laziness to just reschedule.

or spring for a hotel room in the big bad city...

but which hotels will actually take them in?
incoming: three different "what hotels are close to the 930?" threads...
-
bet the snow is fun on shrooms
-
Let the show go on!
-
yup, show is on. parking should be a mess, see pix below (taken earlier today). the club's parking lot is apparently sold out. sounds like the best option is driving to a metro station, parking there, and getting to the club underground.

since you're such a big man . . . will you come drive me the two hours 1 way to the show and back. you are such a man, it should not be a problem for you.
and i would get a room, but we will have 20 inches on the ground tomorrow. you want to dig my car out and make sure i get home ok? such a small task for a big man such as yourself.
i've got a whole new appreciation about the club and trey now. laziness first . . . fans last.

the District is only getting 6 to 10, and it aint really going to start snowing until around 8pm. so shut up already.

shouldn't you be changing your name to some other ridiculous fuckhead anthem, because your last incarnation of self importance dried up like a rest home cunt?

no one is making you go to the show. the club has no control over the weather. by the looks of it, there won't be 8 inches on the ground before midnight, so metro should still be running. the band and the club can't make decisions based on the needs of 1 person living 2 hours from the club.

i'm glad everybody going to this show lives ten minutes away. ::) i know people driving as far a nc to see this and are sweating every minute of what to do.

Walkonby is just pissy because he can't remember the last time he got 6 to 10 inches. . . .

if you're going to drive from NC, or shanandoah, etc, then you have to accept certain risks. what won't be a factor for locals might be an issue for you.
and again, the club isn't going to make decisions based on the needs of people from NC. they determined that holding a show tonight is do-able, so they're doing it. i'm sure the club isn't happy about the weather either, they might end up losing money on this because of the half-filled venue.
this show wouldn't be rescheduled. if it doesn't go on tonight, it's canceled.

been a while since i've last read such an epic retort. well done, sir.

anyone know how well route 29 going into DC has been paved? i'm coming from gaithersburg, wondering what to expect in DC
-

route 29 is very well paved, has been for decades. the real issue is the snow and ice on top of the pavement.
-
thanks so much for the sarcasm. clearly i meant how well cleared the pavement is.
-
thanks so much for the sarcasm.
You're welcome! We're good at sarcasm!
-
i was out driving today and it seems that all major routes such as 29 are passable, but might be reduced by a lane. it was slow-going, mostly because of the backed up traffic. everyone was driving slowly. unless you have a very very low car or absolutely no shocks, you should have no problems getting around. just give yourself extra time.
-
Thanks.....

Can't wait to buy a ticket outside for under face from a frostbitten w00k!
Or should I just grovel for a free one and mumble about karma (brah)?

I'm going to passive aggressively inform everyone I encounter that it's their duty to kick me down their extra since I traveled 0.9 miles and don't even have enough money to buy 5 beers (so at least let me get a shwill off yer Sammy Smif).

I'm sorry, what finishing school did you attend? I didn't understand a word of this.

You obviously must not have attended W00k State U..

How was the turnout?

It was a packed house.

Noticably quite less crowded after setbreak.
Show ended soon after 1130, enabling Metro-goers to make the final train.
-
So people showed up, had a great time and nobody died. Why should this show have been canceled again?

it was just one show . . . i know this. i saw the setlist. not that dissapointed, really. sick of hearing people say that is was "so epic." still mad that i ate 2 tickets and a parking ticket. it was a nightmare where i live at the time i would have to leave on tues, so i thought it would be in dc as well. could have probably gone. my friend "claimed" he understood. i'm finally simmering down. i only get to see a few shows a year now, so this one was well looked forward to. oh well . . . and i am not blaming the club, because i love the place too much. and the real reason i was so pissy . . . is because i have been snowed in (trapped inside my fucking house) since last friday. yes, it is still that bad out here. my beer is almost gone, and flat out refuse to play another fucking minute of video games.
feel free to throw snowballs at me. i'll dress like a cop.
