How fast will this show sell out? Did his show with Ben in the summer sell out..? Trying to figure out how long I have to buy these tickets, and if I have time to wiat for my next paycheck. Any help is appreciated!
-
His show with Ben only sold out in the final weeks. You've probably got some time. But you might want to check on the FAQ and see in a week or two how fast the tickets are going.
-
I'm trying to gauge this one as well, as I'd love to see Ok Go...
-
I was over at Bar Pilar last night talking with the bartender there. Apparently he was/is the keyboardist for OKGO.

Did you tell him I love him/them?

Just wanted to chime in and say I love Bar Pilar... Such a great addition to that block.

yeah, is Bar Pilar a cool place? I haven't been in there yet, but it looks kind of trendy-ish. Not so?
-
I like it. Most bars during the week are good in my book. Stay away on weekends.

no, it's not too trendy-ish, it has a great long bar, a nice plasma screen, and .... tots!!
good laid-back vibe, especially on weekdays

You've said it all...even Local 16 is bearable during the week. ;)

i thought that guy that worked at the black cat was ok go's old keyboardist?
or, at least, he DID work at the black cat...
i really hope i can have a couple of days to buy tickets and that this doesn't sell out on me, as ok go is one of my top ten favorite bands probably, and one of my top five favorite live bands. i love rufus too; if all goes well, this will be my third rufus show. he is just marvelous :)
ok go has a lot of ties here though.
i'm not positive, but i do believe that damian did grow up in the area...?
i just remember one time i was wearing my ok go shirt. in one day, i found out that my friend jamie's father is like damian's dad's best friend, that some other kid at my school's cousin was their old guitarist andy duncan, and then another time my friends older brother mentioned something about knowing damian from high school or something like that?
i find it all a bit confusing, because i know they're a "chicago" band, but one of these days i shall seek for clarification.
this is going to be a great show, though. definitely a strange combination, but you'd have to be a moron to miss ok go because they are the most fun live band you'll ever see. and you can hold me to this...
-
yeah, I was pretty sure that OK Go was from Downers Grove; a suburb west of Chicago. Being a Chicago native, we were reminded of that back when they were supposed to be big.
-
well i know that at least damians dad grew up here...i think...or something...
and that their old keyboardist totally works at the black cat
-
Good news!! Looks like OK Go has their own show at the Black Cat as well (yeah -- only question is whether I still go to Rufus...).

Thanks for that. I want to see OK Go but wasn't prepared to spend $35.

Ditto -- I just saw the $35 price tag and am quite happy to let the Rufus show go by since I can catch them a week earlier on their own.

Bags, I don't know if the Oct. 24th date is happening?
This is listed on the Black Cat site:
MON OCT 24- JULIETTE AND THE LICKS $13 mainstage 8:30
And Pollstar doesn't list OK Go for that night. Do you have any further info?

Pollstar had the 24th date listed a while ago, but I haven't checked lately...DAMN. I'll see what I can find out. I exchanged an email with someone who works with the band, and he'd wondered where I'd heard about the 24th date.
-
YEAH, and OK Go are back on Pollstar for the Black Cat show on the 24th.
-
That's good news. Thanks, Bags.
-
oh man! Juliette and the Licks with Ok Go would be insane.
or maybe, just maybe, the Cat has decided to offer an Ok Go after-school special...
*crosses fingers*
i got my halloween tickets the other day. it should be sweeeeeet...
-
Those two bands are playing together in Philly as well. It's Juliette Lewis' band, right?
-
mmhm. she has incredible stage presence.

Damian is from around here, he went to St. Albans.
