We'll have to search him down and get him drunk in LA, then!

does anyone have any idea how long their sets have been lasting, cause i'm down for a nice long set.

Also, i'd recommend checking out some pics of the Riviera...the place is small and made for freaking perfect sound!!

5 years of waiting will be worth it!!!

Cya all tomorrow!!

-Josh-

yeah, The Riviera is gonna pwn! Its my favorite place for a concert in chicago! (I think I said that like 5 times in this thread already)

I dont think im gonna sleep tonight...

hahaha, yeah Bosco - good luck with sleeping n'all of that! :)

anyone know if it's possible to get a small camera into the Riviera? i've been waiting 12 years to see The Chems and damnit i want some pictures!

Im pretty sure cameras are allowed. I know I will be.

Bosco, I see you lurking...

GO TO BED!!!

:lol:

Ticketmaster says no cameras... but I am taking one with and checking when I get there.

Another random thought:

for those of you that have been to the Riv before...

As you walk into the main floor viewing area, you hit the bar. After that, you walk onto a standing area. you then run into a railing (steps on the side) then there is step down into the dancing/direct stage viewing area. I suggest to take over the area right in front of the railing. It is a great area to stand if you want to take in the visuals/stage, and it allows easy access to the floor (by ducking under the railing).

ie:((damn entry won't let me post this right -- X-marks us, r marks the rail, .'s mean nothing))

____bar____Xr........................._stage)

I am throwing this out there because since it seems like we will have an assload of forum people at the show, we will be able to move pretty freely between both areas and always have a place to dance/relax/get a drink/go crazy/etc.

Would anyone else like to join me in this venture?

haha :lol: If Darkstar were here, he would tell you I never go to sleep.

I'll go where ever, Seth.

Im getting a 4GB memory card for my digital camera before I go to the show so I can get some film to remember the night.

No sleep til Chi-town!!

funny that you mention whirly-- i work until 7am, then have a class from 10 - 11... sleep for 3.5 hours, shower/shave, people come over at 2:45 to leave by 3.

Gonna be great!

@bos -- sounds good!

THIS IS GOING TO BE GREAT!

So during the encore, we gotta chant something. "Chemical Brothers" just doesnt fit the bill. Im thinking "Tom"!, "Ed"!, "Tom"!, "Ed"!

Haha... Im so lame...

Christ! That deserves a drink!

Good god, Sethful. The things people do for the Chems, sleep deprivation being one of them, hahaha. I sure hope you planned to take Tuesday off... to catch up on some sleep. :lol:

I'm super excited for you guys, I really am. It's gonna be better than great. It's gonna be mind blowingly, spleen rupturingly fantastic in a brain tickling, spine tingling way!

Well kids, my husband's giving me funny looks and he wants me to join him on the couch. I'm sure I'll see you lurking on here when I come on line at 6 or so in the morning (my time).

Have a good night (and try to get some sleep).

@Bos - hehe... Split the group into two... one group on the eastside , the other on the west... MUSIC :: RESPONSE. or TOM :: ED ... and see how many out of the crowd we can get to do it with us! hehe.

@Whirly - I work thirds, so I haven't take the day off... I just get to sleep until 8:45p before I have any responsibilities!!

I love this thread.

and somehow (probably pointless posts) we are up to page 8!

well, its the most popular US date thread on the board.

But i suppose you can thank us two for that... :P
