I'm sure nobody is going to get the cops called on them for waiting on a concert. I'm also sure that this is not the first concert in the history of Warsaw where someone wants to show up more than an hour early. Common sense and courtesy will prevail, I guarantee it. I'm sure people will show up, scope out the area, and probably move on to do other things for a while or wander the neighborhood. McCarren Park is super close if the weather's still nice. Take a walk to Williamsburg. Get a drink/dinner. Check out Rough Trade Records. Provided Damien is feeling better, we're all going to have a great time.

mario_d, I hope you spread your cheer on Friday and bring the earlybirds beer and adult diapers. I think people will be fine early or on time. If the neighbors get annoyed, they'll tell you and you move over. I can't imagine it will be a big deal.

No news is good news, I guess?

I am leaving from VA tonight after work. I figure by then The Box show will be confirmed or cancelled. Either way, I'm headed up there but at least I'll have an idea of what to expect.

For what it's worth, I will probably line up an hour or so before doors. I imagine that if lining up for shows was an issue at Warsaw then they would post a suggested time to arrive, and a heavy suggestion to NOT line up before then.

I REALLY want to check out Brooklyn Brewery since they make one of my favorite beers and it's hard to find down here. And if the show is cancelled then I'll hit up TKTS and stuff myself with Broadway shows that whole weekend. Once is still showing and it is a FABULOUS performance so I would love to see it again with another cast.

I am WICKED excited for this show and I've hardly thought of anything since the whole ticket frenzy! Took a day off, kids and dogs are with the ex, have a place to stay and I just got paid. YAAAAAAYYYYY! :hello2::icon_kidr

I will be there on Friday as well.

LilyT I like your style.

Since I'm at work and don't really have time to dash home, I can say with authority that I will be in a grey dress with purple knit tights (and a purple jacket). If you see me, feel free to say hi! My name is Casey, for the record.

Black dress, black boots, khaki jacket, brown hair. Looking forward to meeting some of you (especially Casey for all the NY tips!).

Ill have white Nikes, dark blue jeans, red plaid button down and a blue New England Patriots hat on. Maybe a blue northface shell.

I'll be there tonight. Navy pants, grey and black floral top and brown jacket.

Feel free to say hi :hello:

Edit - -

Is anyone there already? I know doors are late for tonight's show and I'd like to grab a bite to eat first, but don't want to risk getting there too late and being way back in the line.

Walked by about 30 minutes ago and there was only 6 people there

Two lines...one for ticket holders and one for will call. Ticket holder line is about 30ish people

I'm in Queens and will be on my way in a few. What a beautiful day to hear Damien perform! I'm so happy! Will be in jeans, black boots, white and black Indian style shirt. Nose ring. See y'all soon, Eskimo friends!

Well, since everyone is sharing. :)

Khakis, purple checked shirt, blue sweater (depending on how hot it gets). Will be with a blond and brunette (wife and sister, lol).

Im wearing a black top, gray jeans, black heels and have long black hair. Im actually sitting at one the tables :D

well I can't say I agree with the notion that Damien fans are a mellow bunch.
Packed in like sardines, people were literally pushing me - hands and elbows.

Yeah quite the pushy bunch here. At least we're cooler in the stage area. The bar was HOT!

Wow. Glen Hansard. No words. I lost my ****.

Awesome. Of course.
More later. :)

aaaaahhh, glen?!!?

Oh hi Glen Hansard, glad you could join us.

Unreal.

Wake up and do it again tomorrow

Can't wait.

:)

Chances of Glen showing up tomorrow? I can only dream...

I think the song was The Box not I Don't Want to Change you.

Yeah, it was The Box.

A lovely woman near me in the cluster**** you couldn't call a line was waiting on her daughter. When her daughter showed, she said she was next to Glen in the outside line. I was hoping he'd play, but three songs! What a joy. I've seen Glen play every year since I've moved to New York, whether or not he was actually billed to play a show.

Great sound, great performances, not so great crowd. I don't know if people were mad about waiting a little late or drunk from the bar or what, but such aggression. Shoving, shouting about whether or not to sing. It kind of mellowed out towards the end, but eek, some tension. Damien seemed bemused by it.

For those not there, he said he's feeling much better. He gave us a very graphic description of having fluid sucked out of his ear, complete with sound effects.

I have a video of the Auld Triangle with Glen uploading and will post link soon.

Also audio of Cold Water --> Hallelujah

Standby.

That was unreal! Overall a rather rowdy (and rude!) group, especially compared with Thursday night. The people directly around us were awesome though. Love Glen...Hallelujah was amazing, but would've been better if there was less cheering so we could actually hear the first verse. Damien went on over 30 mins late and was much less chatty than last night, but such a great show! Woman Like A Man was so freakin' intense!

My only reaction to seeing that Glen showed for a few songs: WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I would have sawed off an arm to be at that show. Omg.

At least we know he's in town. Hope for the best, either way the show will be great.

It's not too far from his old stomping ground, so maybe/hopefully!

Oh, sorry I didn't get to meet any of you from here. I arrived around 6:40, and the bar was already packed. I didn't see any familiar sounding outfits, and I had no reception on my phone. Maybe tomorrow.

Hope these links work. Enjoy. I am exhausted.

See you all tomorrow night.
