    I haven't talked to Poj yet about this one, but this one fits better into all of our schedules, better then Charlottesville....

    Don't know when tix are on sale yet, Pollstar is the only place that has it on it's website so far.... The VH site, Live Nation and Ticketmaster don't have it yet....

    But yeah, this one looks good....

    I just received an official press release from Curtis Media Group about this.

    Thank you, Sweetie

    Nah, things still suck. The only way to cope at this point is by trying not to think about what happened, quite a difficult task. Anticipating a couple more VH shows will be a big help, though!

    You should fly on over for this one, Bin

    Not exactly that many places to hang out, unless you over near NC State though.....

    Not if you're looking for something right at RBC. But Raleigh as a whole has a slew of places. And all roads lead to 40 which leads to RBC.

    Locked and Loaded in Garner (right off I-40)
    Carolina Ale House (great food, pool tables) (again just off I-40)

    Just to name a couple of my favorites.

    Back in the day I would drive cars from a dealership here in Fairfax to a showroom down in Raleigh, but never spent any real time there at all. It's homework time I guess.

    Places to hang out can be invented if necessary. Trust me. I grew up in a small town. We had keg parties where the only landmark was a friggin' tree. I'm certainly not suggesting we go find some ramdom tree. Elly's suggestions sound perfect as long as pre-show drinking stays well below the legal limit.

    I just got 4 tix. Two tix in section 118 row Z (Eddie's side) and two tix in section 102 row A. I will most likely be selling the ones in section 102.

    I included "lower level" when I did my search. I am not sure if the floor seats are gone yet. Looking forward to seeing you at the concert!

    Just searched for two seats... The best right now is Sect. 116, which has a side view of the stage on Ed's side...

    So the floor seats are gone for now, until they throw some more on there I guess...

    From Plexibrown:

    I have two extra tickets for the Raleigh, NC concert on March 7th at the RBC Center. They are section 102, row A, seats 4 and 5. I am selling them for face value which is $125.00 each. If anyone here wants them, let me know ASAP because I will be putting them for sale on ebay or Ticketmaster soon. Here is a link to view the seating chart:

    We'll probably get into town around 5'ish, then we have to pick up Pojo at his palacial estate and head to the arena or whereever....

    SCORE!!!!!! I landed two free company tickets from our corporate box!!
    Am I'm bragging???? You bet your ass I am... WOO HOO!! I'll wave at you fuckers from my leather cushioned seat. Ok it might not be leather but I'm sure it's very nice.. This will be the 3rd show from this tour and I'm still excited about seeing the boys play.
    Three time witness to the comeback of the MIGHTY VAN HALEN. And then they faded back into obscurity.

    You can have your cushy box in the nosebleeds...

    We'll be on the floor, 20 rows from the stage....

    That leather seat does sound comfy, though....

    Well any seat is a good seat when VH is rocking the joint. If the band doesn't implode and break up before the 7th.. I'll see you there.

    Some folk that I know got refunds because they think (due to the reputation of this band) there's too good of a chance the show won't go on...

    Even though I'll be in town the day of the show, I'm still not even tempted to go.

    Over 200 miles to drive and no ticket yet...

    I'm going and I'll most likely buy a scalped ticket.

    Everything is going to be fine, so GO if you can.

    Gotta hook up with Poj, VA, Tiki & Sparkie & whoever else from here that is going.

    Gonna be a killer time!

    OW!!!

    I'm going and I'll most likely buy a scalped ticket.

    Everything is going to be fine, so GO if you can.

    Gotta hook up with Poj, VA, Tiki & Sparkie & whoever else from here that is going.

    Gonna be a killer time!

    OW!!!
    Yeah, I'm gonna have to drive back the 200 miles myself after the show now that the show is on Sunday vice Friday. Would much rather stay the night in town but can't now....

    I'm gonna PM you....

    Tiki and I will be driving back our 200-ish miles that night, too.
