Originally posted by SalParadise:I was just talking to some of the staph about that the other day. As I was walking in, one of the folks working the door just shook her head and said "Why don't you just get a cot in here?". On an another occassion, I was told to just get the 'of age' stamp permanently tatoo'd on my hand.

Anyhow, we were joking that it would be probably be worth my while to get a "season ticket". So whaddya think Seth? :)
Im in…Really looking forward to it. Not familiar with Mercury Rev at all but Ive heard good things.
Ive heard phenomenal things about the Doves live show.
Will be very interesting to compare them to Snow Patrol the next night. Same type of sound, but I must say Im a little more excited for Doves.
Should be 2 great concerts back to back.

going a little off-topic (my apologies, brenn)..
what would the club have to charge for an annual pass? (this is totally hypothetical, i know capacity issues would come up if they ever tried this)
but you figure the average "hardcore" concertgoer sees around 30 930 shows a year. if they bought the annual pass, it'd go up to maybe 50.
avg price of show roughly $20 x 50…
a cool grand?
anyone willing to drop $1000 by dec. 31st to have carte blanche on all 2006 shows at the club?
(yeah, i'm bored)

Originally posted by SalParadise:The NorVa in Norfolk has a "VIP" pass which is basically +1 admission to every show and a special roped of balcony and I believe they charge $4000 for it.

Of course, their bookingss aren't as consistantly as high quality as 930's but just as a comparison…

actually, you split it with another musicfiend friend of yours ($2K each)…and VIP…it's not that bad.
I would love to go tonite, but alas, I am ticketless. Unless someone out there is willing to have pity on little ole me? I do run what one DC lawyer recently called "DC's Pitchfork," if that helps. In other words, I have access to free tickets for other shows. Just not this one sadly.

Originally posted by SalParadise:I was thinking more along the lines of $3000 (3 shows per week x $20 show on avg x 52 weeks). As it is, I go to about 60 shows annually. I don't think I could justify going to doubling that..but I'd think about it if it meant *guaranteed* admittance to each and every show (incl unannounced secret ones, etc)

ill be there tonight, meeting up with kurosawa and cheshirecat at some point :) and ill also be there tomorrow night seeing snow patrol yet again!
I'd readily buy into a 50 show plan, as long as I was guaranteed access to the 50 shows I wanted to see. No exceptions, other than truly private gigs. I'd have a hard time justifying 100+ shows upfront though, both financially and the time required.
can we do the "weekend pass" too? haha.
I havent been to 930 since November, what a loser i am….

doesn't season pass, etc = elistist prickdom?
Originally posted by Bombay Chutney:Me too, though even 50 may be too many for me. I see 50-60 shows a year, only about half or so at the 9:30. I also miss out on few shows I want to see, as I tend to get tickets early for something I'm excited about…

wow mercury rev were fucking AWFUL. their lead singer is a twat.
Here's a glaring example of "one man's garbage is another (wo)man's treasure." I thought Mercury Rev was awesome…I'd never heard them before, and I was won over by the end of their first song…sort of Radiohead, meets the Verve, with a touch of Bob Dylan. I bought their newest CD and I have to agree with the recent Wash. Post reviewer: It's way too low-key, missing the sonic/atmospheric background, but there are a few great cuts. I thought lights/video for both bands were fabulous…and my personal thanks to a wonderful crowd. Why can't all those polite, non-pushy, happy, semi-sober and mostly non-smoking folks show up more often?
Doves left me bored, wishing for more energy, excitement . I think we'll get some of dat tonight!! :D
