Club's 30th anniversary?

[James Ford]

Well I said that before I saw the stellar lineup that was assembled, and only in reaction to some of the tiring overhype that was going on in the forum. No offense intended and apologies if necessary to the 9:30 Club and it's staff.

I think the same thing happens with FreeFest. Some naysayers in this forum will crap all over it in advance, but then if one or two of thier favorite bands are booked, they're all over the free tickets like flies on cow manure.

That's exactly how I feel about the 30th anniversary show.

There are a few of us who never gave a rat's ass about the show since its beginning.

and that's why you will specifically be excluded from the invite list

Well in the case of the 930 30th Anniversary show its not so much about the acts but about the community..

Even if I don't manage to be there I got to hand it to Seth for making it a free event and largely by invitation..It really is like a birthday party....

i think the cost of admission should be more than free . . . just to see hutch and julian in the same room together.

Same.  *sigh*  I mostly lurk here, though.  Was the email blast limited?  Ah well.  I live nearby and can always try lurking around the club instead of lurking around the internets.

nope, this first invitation went out to forum members only.  maybe you needed a certain post count to be included?

email blast subscribers should be getting an invitation later this afternoon/tonight.

that would make sense.  i think i've posted twice in the 3 years or so since i registered.  damn.  who knew one of my regrets would be not spending enough time online?  i'll try through the email blast.

So will there be a special Forum lounge or something so we can all meet or avoid each other if we want?

[sweetcell]

i was kidding about the post count thing - pure speculation.  i doubt they'd enforce that, but who knows.

this.

i heart the 930 club, it's having a birthday party, so few places i'd rather be on monday night, regardless of the lineup.  the fact that it a very decent and eclectic lineup should make a great night on the town.  fingers crossed.

[walkonby]

never got an email . . . 

[atomicfront]

I just want to see the Slickee Boys and Trouble Funk.  Somehow I never managed to see them in the past it would be fun to see them now. 

[kosmo vinyl]

you people and your hotmail accounts... it would appear that hotmail is not playing nicely

[Got Haggis?]

hotmail will sometimes block email that comes from gmail......so stupid

[wml7]

they said forum winners would know by noon today

hmmm.... so people with hotmail (such as myself) will have problems knowing if they won or not, since people with hotmail are having problems getting the emails?  great, just great

lottery decision in 30 minutes? 

[andyrichter]

20 minutes.     good luck folks.

I still haven't seen the time of event - where should I look? Thanks for the opportunity, Seth. It is nice to have a community of supporters (and of the line-up) to celebrate the club's b-day with... Good luck, all. I'm hoping my Oracle requests will grant me access...
