It's almost time

topic posted Tue, August 9, 2005 - 10:16 AM by  Mike
I got my tickets in the mail yesterday and it's almost time. I've got reserved for night 1 and lawn for night 2. My 17YO nephew has become a fan and he'll be enjoying his first live concert. He's in track, so I hope he can "fly" down to those terraced lawn seats and stake our claim. :)

The Hershey, PA DMB tribe was counting down for two months. You guys seem less excitable... maybe just taking your dose of Dave in stride like a more experienced addict.

The schedule appears to have the band taking a couple of weeks off prior to the SF concerts. (Was he resting or playing somewhere else?) Then here. C'mon, Dave! Be sure to play Say Goodbye for me, will ya?

I guess I-90 will be in better shape than last year. I avoided the construction last year by taking the Vantage Hwy out of Ellensburg. That is a scary road at night. Wow! No roadside lights and in the middle of nowhere. Fun to turn the car lights off while driving (though my GF disagrees).

See you all there!

      I am so bummed I am not going this year. :( I went last year and 2003.
      I am so tempted to buy some plane tickets and head out.

      I will miss it for sure.

      Fill me in when you guys get back. Sing one for me, K? :(

        If you do decide to come north, check CraigsList for tickets.

        Any particular song I should sing on your behalf? ;)

          "Any particular song I should sing on your behalf?"....Hmmmmmm. That's a tough one. I don't think I could name just one. If they play Loving Wings, I will die. I wanted to hear that one both years. Stephon came out last year at the Gorge and played the slide guitar to the opening of Grace is Gone. That was nice. That would be a good one to sing for me. It will remind me of last year and the Gorge at sunset.

          To kick my Gorge withdrawls I just bid on second row tix to my Phoenix show on Yahoo Auctions and....Won! I am stoked. Always wanted to sit up close for my home town show. I am sooo jazzed.

          Don't you all wear out Dave and the boys too much this weekend. Save some for me. ;)

            Well, I'm not feeling so sorry for you NOW! Second row to ANYthing would be fun... but Dave... Wow. You must have paid a nice chunk of change for that.

            Grace Is Gone. Easy. (I have it on karaoke and sing it all the time.) I'll brush up on Loving Wings. I'm hoping to hear Say Goodbye among so many others.

            Here's one more picture for you... the first Gorge show is on the 19th. And it's a full moon. :)
