Elbow Roll Call

[brennser]

So I can't be the only one salivating at the prospect of seeing Elbow live? Who's going? And whats the story with 6th and I? Seated? GA? Worth getting there early? Can you drink?

sadly i'll be making neither the DC nor the NYC date, despite having tickets to the latter... grumble.  if anyone wants my NYC tickets, they're yours.  PM ASAP.
 
 i believe that 6th and I is both seated and GA - so arrive early & grab a good bench.  there is also a balcony in case you want a bird's-eye view.

    I cant wait. one of the most underrated bands on the planet.  looking fwd to checkin out this venue too.

truer words were never said - I've had em on heavy rotation all week and 95% of their catalog is just breathtaking

Anyone think the singer outweighs Greg Dulli?

GA, and seated - first come first serve for the seats.  No alcohol in the venue though - however, you're around the corner from Fado/RFD/everything else in that corridor.

I will be there.  It's about time they finally make it back to DC.  The first two shows they played at 9:30 were incredible (even when Guy was ill for that 1st gig.)
 
 The 6th and I box office told me that the whole show was GA, but maybe the person I spoke to was mistaken.  Doors at 8, show at 8:30.

It is all GA - didn't mean to imply otherwise.  Just that the seats are on a first come first serve basis.
