Brooklyn Roll Call 10/18 at Warsaw
 

So who is going?

I'll be there on Saturday. Driving up from VA!:hello2:

I will be there on Friday :D and i'm going to The box on Saturday with my b/f. Pretty excited about it!!

Wow you got tickets to both shows! Who was the lucky one to get the tickets to The Box?

I got tix for The Box on Thu + Brooklyn, but failed to get tix for the Box on Sat

Now 3 days in a row would have been pretty awesome!!!

I'll be there Friday in Brooklyn and then Saturday in Manhattan!

I'm coming form Boston for Friday and Saturday shows as well :)

I HATE how stressful concert ticket buying can be sometimes! I'm reluctant to admit this given how many real fans missed out on tickets, but I am lucky enough to be going to all 3 NYC shows. My kids, also big fans (particularly my 22 year old daughter, the cutie in my avatar back when she was 13 who first introduced me to Damien's awesomeness years ago) were able to pull up tickets...I'll be their dates for the concerts! I'm a blessed mama, and so glad I raised 2 kids with fabulous taste in music. :)

^ amazing

Oops! I meant I'll be in Brooklyn on Friday. Was hoping for Saturday in Manhattan but Warsaw looks great too so I'm stoked!

Brooklyn on Friday! :)

I'm coming from Boston for the Brooklyn and Manhattan show. I've had dreams about seeing Damien Rive play, I'm so thrilled to finally have the chance. I'm kind of glad the record won't be out yet, it's great falling in love with songs by hearing them live.

:smiley4:

I'll be there!! This is my second time seeing Damien Rice, the first time was at the Radio City Music Hall show... Ugh... Breathtaking performance. By the by, my name is Sean and this is my first post! I've been a follower of this forum for about as long as I've been a Damien fan... So, '05 or '06. At the RCMH show there was a guy who recorded the entire show - including the show-stopping Cannonball unplugged encore which had me nearly I tears. Anyway, hi Eskimo Friends!

My Warsaw ticket came in the mail yesterday!!!

:hello2:

Got mine too! After how stressful the sales were, it's nice to have one ticket in hand. I know my ticket for The Box will be valid and all, but I hate will call. At least with this I have physical confirmation I'm getting in.

Anyone want to do a meetup for this and night two of The Box? Flying up from Atlanta to see both shows, and would love to be around some true fans.

I'm still trying to figure out all of my travel details, but I googled Cadaques to learn more about the town where MFFF was filmed (and also where the recent footage of Damien giving a private performance was shot). I came across this restaurant called Cadaques by accident, it's quite near the Warsaw in Brooklyn. I might try to hit this before the show:

i had the "brilliant" idea of choosing Will Call for the Brooklyn show on Friday so i need to find out what time I'm able to get my ticket. :'( I will be up for meeting if i'm able to.

Just a heads up that it's about a 20 minute walk. If you eat early/aren't dying to be up front, it sounds like a fun experience. If you want to keep an eye on the queue/grab and go, there are some great restaurants on Manhattan Avenue super close to the venue.

I'll be at work until 6 myself, so I should get there around 6:30 and of course would be open to meeting up with people if I'm not too late!

Should we all have shirts or something so we know who we all are?
Haha

I'll just throw myself out there to kick things off. If anyone spots me at Warsaw or at The Box on Saturday and wants to say hi, feel free. I'll leave my photo as a link so you don't have to see me if you don't want to. Obviously I'm the girl. I am not a tall, skinny Irish musician. http://33.media.tumblr.com/3252b97d2...pcnpo1_500.jpg

I figure I'll be going straight for the queue at The Box, but of course feel free to PM for Saturday plans.

same here :( was not a very smart move on my part

does anyone know at what time the box office open? is it open during the day or only right before the show??

i just emailed them, hopefully we'll be able to get the tickets during the day.

Let me know what they reply!!

haven't heard anything back, i also wrote on their FB page but nothing yet.
it says they open at 6pm so that's probably when we'll be able to get our tickets. i'll give them a call tomorrow just in case

So...how are we all feeling? No news is good news? Hoping a few days of rest and antibiotics gets him back to good health. If really hate to think he would try and push himself again.

Will definitely look for ya on Friday.... flying in from Texas for the shows

Yeah I am guessing we are alright for the shows.... nervous until something official heard though

When is everyone planning on being in line on Friday? I have no idea what to expect

I'll be there just before lunchtime. Feel free to say hi :D

I was gonna head over to the venue around 2 or 3 and see what the line looks like then go do quick stuff in the area if no line was really started yet. Before lunchtime...are people really getting there that early? I might have to revise my plans!

The doors open at 8pm for a 9pm show. It's a big square room for 800 people. The back of the room will be about 25 yards from the stage.

If you're at the venue before 8pm, you need to rethink some things.

Yeah we were thinking about doing the same.... plan is to get our rootless tree tattoos early in the day then head over to scope it out

You must not be short, I take it. I always try to arrive early because even in small rooms, if I'm more than a few rows back, chances are I won't be able to see a thing. Hearing the music live is great, but you miss out on a little something when you can't even glimpse the stage. I don't have to be front row, but not staring at someone's shoulder blades is generally more enjoyable for me.

Having said that, I have work Friday, so I won't get there until 6:30 and still may not get to see a damn thing...

^ i have the same problem :( being 5 feet kind of stinks when it comes to standing-only concerts.
I have to get my ticket at Will Call, might head there around 5. You can message me once you get there and if i'm able to get a spot near the stage you can squeeze in there next to me

^ agreed! I can't see anything if I'm too far back. Although I looked up pictures of the place online and it looks like the stage is (hopefully) elevated enough that this won't be an issue.

I am getting nervous too, I have until 3PM today to cancel my hotel. Train tickets are non-refundable.... oh well.

Hopefully he cancelled Toronto because you're not supposed to fly with a major ear infection and he took a nice bus ride from Chicago to NYC with an IV and a double dose of cipro.

I'm not sure what time we'll head over to the venue yet, but my daughter and I are 5' also. I generally don't mind being short, but it DOES make things difficult when there's GA. If we hadn't lined up early for a U2 concert 9 years ago, she wouldn't have had the amazing experience that was captured in my avatar (Bono pulled her onstage at MSG and ended up giving her a piggy-back...best night EVER)!!! We were in the second row and there was a tall man (over 6') in front of us. He was so kind and offered to let us stand in front of him since he could easily see over our heads. He even took that fabulous picture to the left.
