Fat Dogs is going to be much more practical than Blind Tiger. As I said in the "Greensboro and Charlotte" thread - Blind Tiger is a bar and I'm not even sure they will be open from 4-7:00 (the time during which we will most likely be meeting) - whatever lame-ass local band is playing that night will have their little U-Haul pulled up to the front door unloading equipment.
Fat Puppy's, if its what I think it is (formerly Spring Garden Bar and Grill) is a great place to meet. Its like a hamburger grill / bar that is open for lunch and dinner. It has an outside deck where we could all hang out, tables or a bar-like-deal. I think it serves mixed drinks and has its own micro-brew...which is supposed to be pretty good.
As far as after-party, I grew up in GSO (although I don't live there anymore...not far though) - I will be happy to act as guide....we can meet up at Fat Puppies again after the show while Biteyoass is doing the slip-and-slide with his woman.

So Fat Dogs is the meeting place. Any objections?
Oh I'm there!! Are you coming in from Alabama?
You bet your ass I'm driving all the way up there! Hey, I'm gonna pass the word over to the DLRML and diamonddavidleeroth.com so we can get a bigger crowd. I like this location anyway, especially since the restaurants and bars next to the arena will be crowded.
And don't worry, I met my fiancee off the DLRML. So there won't be a conflict of interests.
yeah...uh....DDLR??? are you sure?
I posted on their, haven't got a response yet. Maybe Kitty and the DOCTOR will show up.
Doc would be cool! He's in Fl., I think. And STROKE is in VA, I think. He's a very cool poster.
Hey Bite - do me a favor...in that thread you started at DDLR, could you extend a personal invitation to Hambone4life from me? I appreciate it.
Now you can't get two tickets together on Ticketmaster, and the best single ticket is in the upper deck....
Sounds like a fuckin' sellout to me....
Three weeks motherfuckers !!!!!!
And I can confirm at this time that we have completed lengthy negotiations with representatives of Mr. Pojo Risin, and can confirm that he will be making a special appearance at the Greensboro Coliseum.
He'll be the one with the "Three Lock Box Tour" T-shirt....
Poj and I will be coming from Raleigh, just let me know where the pre-show party is.....
I've been busy the past 2 weeks, but I finally got around to sending a message over at DDLR.com today. No response yet.Originally posted by Hyman Roth

Can't wait to read.
BTW....old ARMY member...AlbertR will be at the Greensboro Show too!
I'm really hoping for a sellout in Greensboro ...
From what I have heard and actually seen, Greensboro is a tuff place to completely sell out, but I would assume come show time, VH with Dave will actually succeed.
So ... Am I invited to the pre-part hang out ???
Hoping to see and have a cold one with Va Beach VH fan and Pojo ...
Anyone else ?
Everyone is invited, just so long as you don't act like a spammy lovin dick!Originally posted by hotdog@ a shake

Not sure what the capacity will be for VH, but it can hold up to 23,500 for concerts...Originally posted by hotdog@ a shake

Word of caution: unless you don't mind crossing railroad tracks, then I'd recommend parking near Fat Dog's until after the gathering or whenever you wanna head to the arena. Because just a block north of the arena are about 4-5 rails to cross on S. Chapman St.

Nahhh....don't worry about that...I'm pretty sure there's an overhead bridge for the tracks. Plus I'll probably have my pick up truck and can take a bunch of drunks in the bed if need be (I really don't drink much at all).Originally posted by BITEYOASS

On another note, I looked at Google Maps last night and FatDogs is not the same bar I thought it was - down the street a bit from the one I was thinking it was. Although I have been there once about 5 years ago, and seem to recall its pretty decent for what it is, I can't recall if there is an outside patio and I'm pretty certain they don't sell their own micro-brew as I posted previously. So, the Nordic Invasion won't get to sample the local ale (which is probably just as well ).
Byte - I remember you told me you are driving in from Al...but is there anything you can think of now that this thing is really getting closer that I might do to make your trip/stay easier? This offer is open to all - seriously...just ask.
Nah, I'm OK. I usually wake up early as hell before work anyway (between 2-3 AM) and plus it's a straight shot from I-85. That and I drive a Hyundai Accent, so gas money won't be a problem.
Well, you guys know the area better than Poj and I do.... Someplace that's a decent place to mingle and fairly close to the arena....
LOL, basically all we know about Greensboro is from the '03 Kiss/Aerosmith concert, so that's the arena, the titty bar right next to it, and the Red Roof Inn....
Believe me - that's all you have to know about Greensboring. And I think Fat Puppies will do just fine. Looking forward to this - the first pitcher is on me.Originally posted by Va Beach VH Fan

Sounds great Hyman, guess the 2nd one is on me! Have any links for the bar, tried to find it on the net but found nothing..
Do we have a tenative meet-up time?
tentative, bare with me my keyboard is fucked and i press submit really fast...
Nah - I looked but the bar doesn't have a web site. Its nothing special though yet its not a dump. Its pretty slim pickings for cool bars in walking distance to the arena.Originally posted by J Curling

GSO has a few cool bars though - I'll look into it for the afterparty if you are interested. I think I saw the time 4:00 being batted around - not sure.
That's correct 4:00 PMOriginally posted by Hyman Roth

4 sounds great, we are drivin back after the show to Charlotte, but it would be cool if you kept us in the loop for any after show party..
Did you see the rehearsal video clips... I couldn't stay away, looks promising....
