In 1979 my routine was. Score a bag of weed, roll it all up in cherry flavored papers, made sure my pint of MD20/20 wasn’t noticeable in my sock and making sure I brought some fireworks so I can throw on those poor people sitting on the floor section while I sat in the upper section.. I feel really bad about the last one though.... In 2008. My only routine will be to drop the kids off at the in-laws. So you guys can smoke your weed and my kids won’t get a contact high and become a stoner like I was.

First I am going to fly across the world, then check in at a nice hotel in Charlotte, have a drink and get the party started.... Hell, this is Roth'N'Roll history!!

First I was planning on not listening to any VH up to the opening night, but yesterday a friend e-mailed a bunch of live links on youtube. Stuff from 81-84, and man I got goosebubs (or how d'ya spell it!?)... Especially from this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzTFFuEOJj4

So I had a relaps and what do you know, here I am listening to Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love for breakfast :-)

[J Curling]

relapse...... coffee + keyboard = not good...

[binnie]

Five years ago the pre gig ritual went something like this:

One week before: begin listening to the band's back catalogue.

Day of the gig: Crank band's back catalgoue, much to the annoyance of neighbours.

3Pm: begin drinking, do a few lines of coke if your friend has actually remembered to get any,

5Pm: spend half an hour getting ready, ie looking as scruffy as is humanely possible. Make sure you are suitably drunk

7Pm: arrive at gig. Try and get the phone number of every cute girl in the line, whether they are with a boyfriend or not. Possibly have a fight(s)

7.30Pm: doors open. More booze, find your seat, or if standing get as near to the sound desk as possible (usually where the gig will sound best).

But, since I've been sober and in a long term relationship, it goes something like this:

Drive to Mrs binnie's listening to band's CDs. Pick her up. Try and score a BJ on the journey to the gig. Find parking, complain about how much it costs. Look down scornfully on all the drunk people in the queue outside, secretly wishing you were one of them but remembering that you are not a very amiable drunk. Remember to keep complimenting Mrs binnie to raise chances of scoring a BJ later in the evening.

Get inside, get drinks (non alcoholic for you). Find Mrs binnie and tell the guy who's talking to her to kindly fuck off. Find T-shirt stand, find seats.

Actually remember an entire gig the whole way through. In all seriousness, it's much better that way.

I hear ya Binnie. When I first saw CVH in 1979 I only remember 3 things. Light Up the Sky was the first song. Dave was wearing a cowboy hat and he was waving a Texas Flag. And Dave telling a story about his shotgun named Ole’ Joe. I really wished I wouldn’t have smoke all those cherry flavored joints when I was at that concert. I was only12 years old. That was a funny routine you posted.

How much is the plane ticket, and what route are you planing to take?

[BITEYOASS]

Well right now I'm trying to gather anyone going to the Greensboro, NC for us all to meet at Fat Dogs grill. Cause I would be looking really stupid trying to tailgate with a Hyundai.

[J Curling]

Saint!
4900SEK or approx $700. Route: Sthlm-Chicago-Charlotte..

Extremely cool price..

[Redballjets88]

drink drank drunk

[CVH Rulz]

Shit, shower and shave.

[CVH Rulz]

Probably no pre-show partying. I'll have a couple hard drinks during the opening act to get a nice buzz. No beer and running to the can every 10 minutes. Once VH hits the stage, there will be no leaving until the lights come back up.

It's funny to me how many people get wasted during concerts. Man, I want to see everything and remember everything.

[jharp84]

Your smokin too!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ra Power]

This is KC, but no tailgatin', not this time, the folks at the Sprint Center might get upset about grilling in the multilevel parking garage, not to mention it's in the middle of downtown KC. :p
We're heading to the club across the street from the Sprint Center at about 5. We'll head over when they open the gates 'cause we want to explore our new arena a little before the show.

[slimdon]

The day prior, I'll be gettin' up at 5:30am, catching a ferry, then taking a bus to the airport and flying 2500 miles to Detroit. I'll check into my hotel by midnight, lay in bed unable to sleep then go to Thee Mighty Van Halen about 19 hours later.
In the weeks leading up to the concert, (when I'm onshift) the stripclub I run will be home to a wonderful bevy of babes getting naked with the intermission sounds of VH resonating quite frequently. Booze sales will increase as will the temperature of the bar. My mood will increasingly get better, and if I can swing an interview with Diamond Dave thru my radio station, I'll be in my f**king glory.
I saw their rehearsal photo's last night and woke up today thinking it was a dream. Pretty f**king cool if you ask me!

Amen,

Fat Dogs grill?
Where zat?

[Ellyllions]

Anyway, we're driving to Greensboro and grabbing a bite to eat.

Right now, that's it. There will be alcohol involved, but not enough to make me miss the show.
