Morrissey coming to DC?

Looking forward to seeing him at Wolf Trap… Great summer venue (nice staff too, unlike that piece-of-shit Merriweather / Nissan)

Steely Dan is coming to Wolf Trap. Maybe Morrissey will get on stage with them and belt out DO IT AGAIN..? They should rename Wolf Trap: Jurassic Park, because of the dinosaurs.

July 2 is my birthday….could mean a birthday trip up to MD/VA to see the great one at both shows….isn't Rams Head in Annapolis, not Baltimore???

OMFG….HE'S COMING TO S. FL…BOCA RATON OF ALL PLACES, BUT WHAT THE HELL. HOW DO I GET ON THE PRE-SALE THINGIE AGAIN?

Rams Head Tavern = Annapolis (smaller, seated)
Rams Head Live = Baltimore (larger, more like 9:30)

you have a problem with the staff at merriweather?

I personally never had a problem with the staff at Merriweather, apart from the fact they stole 8 cans of Boddies out of the panniers on my motorcycle while I was inside enjoying the show….fuckers!!

Why would you think it was the staff and not some random tailgaters?

Because I believe they hire them Canaduns at Merriweather and doodles wouldn't know a good beer if it fell out of the sky and landed on their heads!!!!

Presale info?

Yes indeed…please!!

I don't think there's a pre-sale. I haven't seen anything yet.

I'm excited!

I am seriously excited. My plan of action is to get tickets for Ramshead first. Then maybe if lawn seat tickets for Wolf Trap are like 18- 20 bucks, then maybe I'll go to that one as well. It would be cool to have a picnic (they still let you bring in your picnic basket right?) and just have a small party with friends. It would be totally rad.

Is the view from the lawn at Wolf Trap any good? Or is it more like just chill and listen to the music?

The NorVa show's tickets will cost $40.

no idea at all. I just know that it would be a cool idea. I hope it is a good view that would be rad.

Considering that the Norva is about the same size as Ramshead, that's a pretty great price honestly. I have a feeling it'll be that much in Baltimore.

Last time for Moz, shit seats were like 45 bucks and good seats were 55 and that was at DAR Constitution Hall. So really 40 bucks for general admision at Norva is pretty sweet.

I suppose the tickets are only available through ticketbastard…or will it be tickets.scam?

I need to pre-register so I can just 'one-click' or whatever it is we have to do these days.

it's not that great of a view, and the video screens are nothing like those at mega-amphitheatres

that said, it's my favorite lawn atmosphere … as long as you leave the smack and meth at home, you can bring pretty much whatever the hell you want with you … you'll see people with full fine-dining picnic dinners replete with bottles of wine, and (depending on the band) you'll see people with a cooler full of bud ice and some tostitos … and if you get down close enough on the lawn the view really isn't that bad, but you need to be in the pavilion if you really want to get into the show

How quick of a sellout should I expect for Moz? Tickets for Norfolk go on sale Saturday at 10am and I'm going to be at the NorVa Sunday for Decemberists. Do you guys think I'm safe waiting to avoid the ticket charges?

The lawn is pretty small at Wolf Trap so get there early if you want a decent view. Don't go there hungry 'coz you won't find decent food there (just chips, hotdogs, and pretzels last year) - eek…bring your own food.

How the hell are you going to give him his Gladioli if you're way back on the lawn?
