I'll be missing Coachella as well, unfortunately. Pharmacy internship rotation again. And the year after. Maybe Coachella 2010??? :(

Might make Lolla next year but we'll have to see.

What is going on?! It seems like everyone is falling out!

At least Bos, Chemical reaction and I will be there.

who else is going to this thing!?

\\and whirly... why would you apologize for your presence? It is always nice to have some reason in here every now and then! ( c:

I was thinkin chems might make it to lolla next year....mmmm thatd be ever so tasty!! daft punk pulled in a mass mob this year...never knew there were so many dp fans...it was an amazing show

I know ill be @ the riv in sept. im goin to get my tix early saturday morning at the box office as well. dont know if my buddy will be able to get his tix in time, and i dont have the extra cash to spare him...so i might be bustin a solo mission if he doesnt hurry his arse up

I dont mind goin solo, i dont like to drink by myself tho :P :P

Anyone from the rockford land area goin??

well, you won't be drinking by yourself... I can promise you that!!

lol...i meant before the show....cant blow all my paycheck on over priced brewski :P

need money for merch too!

at's what i am saying.

We will just have to find a place to get together to do some drinking before the concert. there is nothing better than getting a bottle of [insert choice alcoholic beverage here] and doing some ninja drinking.

Woohoo, I love the Riviera! Plenty of good bars in Lincoln Park to hit beforehand too.

Does anybody know whether they'll do a presale for this show?

Sethful is right, there will be no drinking alone.

You guys really should work out a meet up beforehand. I can't stress enough how much fun it is to meet up then head out and enjoy the show together.

We'll have to figure out a good time/place to meet up before the show.

So, lets see...

Bos is coming from Naperville - taking I88

Mikey... you're coming from Rockford then? taking 90 over, eh?

and I'm coming from Bloomington... which means 55 all the way.

Where are you coming from Sensor??

coming up 55 from st. louis... i'll be ready for some ninja drinking.

actually ill be taking the metra into the city and then "EL" out to The Riviera. But I'll be sure to get down there early.

Hey Mikey, just so you know about the box office.... (from the Riviera website):

"TICKETS:

__________________________________________

so make sure on Saturday morning you go to the Vic to purchase tickets and not the Riviera. Other then that, maybe I'll see ya down there. I know I'll be there bright an early. :)

Oh yeah, and I'm willing to pick up a few extra tickets for any of you guys, but I only have enough to buy 4 tickets (1 for me). So if anybody wants to waive the ticketmaster fees and then just pay me when you get to the concert or through paypal, let me know! :)

Thx for the offer Bos, but I am going to pick up 4 tickets for my crew... so I wouldn't want to inconvenience. but thx anyway.

Yeah, im comin up from Rockford. Im goin to the ticket master box office in Sears on saturday morning to pick up my tick tick.

I havent figured out if my buddy is goin yet, and if he's not, im not driving, ill end up taking the train from elburn to ogilvie station. If we can work out something to where Seth or Bosco can pick me up and drop me off, they'll be a cool 5- or 10-er in it for them :P :P Ill keep ya'll posted, cause i got another buddy in chicago who im trying to talk into goin.

We should all meet up at a bar before hand, thatd be killer!

well, bos is taking the EL into the city,... but I am driving.

Let me know and I will be happy to see what I can do (depending on how many end up going with me)

ahhh, my bad Mikey. I thought you were going to the "box office", box office. But now I understand you ment the ticketmaster outlet. Should still save you a few bucks! :)

i don't know if the show is going to see out or not... but one thing is for certain, I have my 4 tickets!

tickets.....check!

This topic makes me all warm and fuzzy :-D Haha!

I had to cancel my trip downtown to the box office this morning, since I got called into work early this morning. So I just went to the ticketmaster outlet and got me a pair. It looks like I have the 173rd and 174th ticket. Can't Wait! :D

teh sweetness! i'm glad that no one has had any issues with getting tickets yet.
