MBV - roll call for Richmond show, Thurs. 7/30

Since the other thread (i.e., the one that began as a roll call for MBV's shows in NYC and at ATP last year) has sunk a bit…

Who else is going to the MBV show in Richmond at the end of the month?
I'm in!!  Had to sell my TOOL *FLOOR* ticket too!!
Me!

There will be an exclusive Julian's America cocktail party preceding the event AND an after-party for boardies judged to be of sufficient quality. Invites going out this week!
I'm going..still need to find a place to stay overnight though, the richmond marriot is wayyy pricey that weekend
alas, i'll be staying in the NYC area that weekend for APW and seeing MBV there.  julian's invite makes it damn tempting, i can only imagine how fabulous/debaucherous that get-together might get.  hope y'all have fun.
I'll be there along with a few friends of mine. I haven't been this excited for a show since… I don't even know.

I also may need an extra ticket - does anyone have one to spare?
i'd go if i had a ticket.
i'll be there, i'm really excited. it'll be my first time in richmond.
I am going; looking forward to it!

(Also, I have a few extra tickets and have messaged those who said they were looking..)
Distance – if you get a ticket and can go, are you going to tape?
I will be there.  I can not wait. 
They have early entry
I'll be there then right after the show driving to Jersey for APW
i'll be there
I'll be there too
i would of love to have gone, just to see if i could snag one of those ultra rare julian's america rsvps.  sorry, but mbv (to me) is nothing more than moaning at loud frequencies through a fan to ultra pulse light strobe.
Have been avoiding this thead since I can't go due to various crap in my life and it being too flipping far away from north of Baltimore.  :'( :'( :'(  (You regulars know I'm crying over that.) But damnit Walkie, I had to respond to your comment. I flipping love your description. Yes, I fully understand what you are saying and why it doesn't appeal to all. That's cool. As it is, that's the kind of sound that sometimes completely enraptures me with complete ecstasy. I would absolutely love to experience the blissful sonic massage of MBV. For what it's worth, I sometimes describe my radio station as sounding like 'a herd of psychedelic cows shoegrazing'.

Can't help but wonder if Seth's bitch about the Live Nation exclusivity contracts has something to do with MBV not playing in either DC or Baltimore. Well, any band skipping this neck of the woods. 

Seriously, this one's killing me!
I think MBV are a band that can play wherever they want and probably made that clear with LN from the getgo. At least I'd like to think that.

Never underestimate the evil that is Live Nation!
Maybe they just wanted to play somewhere more low-key?


Bands who do tours of mostly LN venues still play 930 all the time.
