Looks like you guys are having a little par-tay at one of the hotels...

I got that e-mail too... pretty cool, but I'll already be at the arena when this is going down. I'm keeping hope alive for a chance run-in with Ed or Dave!!

[Dan]

Have A Sweet As Time,Peeps.

[damngoodtimes]

hey, all you Roth-heads. Last tour at opening night in CLT I texted setlist updates to one of the other members (I think it was at Von's site) during the show.

since I'm gonna be there again, I could do the same, if we get a volunteer on the other end. Let me know.

I thought about posting directly to the site from my phone, but it's just a bit too cumbersome since we don't have a separate mobile site.

A heads up from VIP Nation...

Doors open to the public at 6:30pm. Kool & the Gang is on at 7:30pm. Van Halen is on at 8:50pm. You guys have plenty of time to prep for this one...

[rwc]

First of all, I apologize if this question has been answered 100 times elsewhere - I've been extremely busy, and I haven't had much time to spend online.
Oh, and there's also a new Van Halen album to listen to - my ears can't make themselves bleed you know.

Here's the question... I'm heading up from Atlanta to the Louisville show with a buddy of mine.
Are the pre-show and post-show parties set for BBC? Who's going?

I haven't been on here much lately, but I always enjoy the banter (even if I don't participate).
I met several of you at the pre-party for the Greenville show in 07.... Hope to meet more of you on Saturday.

I believe you mean Greensboro buddy...

And I think your answers are in this thread....

[rwc]

Yeah - I meant Greensboro.

I should have been more specific in the question.
There are two venues discussed in this thread - the BBC and the Galt pre-party.
Who is going where and when? Galt pre & BBC post? BBC pre & BBC post?

[Fairwrning]

I wonder if they show up , say, Thursday and do the entire run through including the show itself?

[damngoodtimes]

I'm planning on hitting BBC before and after. DDKY?

They're flying out today... Probably rehearse until the show Saturday....

[damngoodtimes]

okay, 4 days and counting...

let's get a headcount of who's going to BBC (unless everyone wants to do Galt House; I'd just as soon not pay a cover)

Who's Taking In The Hat Cam?

[VAiN]

Who's Taking In The Hat Cam?

VIP Nation says no cameras for the pre-show, but they can suck my $600 ticket cock if they think I'm not snapping off some goddamn shots of the backstage area.

Which brings me to my next point, someone PM me with an e-mail and/or phone number so I can send pics as the shit is going down for you all to enjoy too...

[BITEYOASS]

WTF is up with that? Dave loves to be photographed.

[rwc]

I'll be there!

50/50 shot on before(depends on time) but be there after for sure.....

[RLBayers]

I can't post the pic here, but I posted it on my twitter account @FunkItBlog

I saw these 2 tour buses this morning in my parking lot downtown near 6th and Main Street, near 21C hotel. The buses had TN plates. Could it be Van Halen is in town and staying at 21C? There are no more events at the KFC Yum Center this week, so it's all empty for them to get set up for Saturday's show...

[don don]

My brother and I are doing the VIP nation thing so we'll probably have to do "post-game." Is there a good bar inside Galt House?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Ticketmaster shows a complete sellout, including singles and VIP... Don't know about brokers....

[RLBayers]

[Fairwrning]

That is a beautiful thing to see...

[Fairwrning]

Looks like some more tickets for Saturday's Louisville show are now available....

[RLBayers]

I left work today at 4:55 and I noticed one of the buses was turned on. I also noticed a girl on her cell phone by the back door of the hotel that looked like an assistant. I waited in my car, watching. After a few minutes the bus left. I waited a little longer and no one ever came out to get in the 2nd bus. I guess I may have missed them by just a few minutes. As I was driving home, I caught up with the first bus and it was turning to head to the Yum Center.... Presumably they are doing a rehearsal tonight (Thursday). Maybe I can catch them tomorrow... assuming they do another rehearsal and leave the hotel at the same time....

Also.. since Ticketmaster released more tickets today I ended up buying some great seats, so I need to sell my old tickets if anyone is interested.
Sec 114, Row P, Seats 1 & 2 for face value of $165 each.... email me RLBayers gmail

[VanHalenI]

you guys who are going to the concert... ENJOY! once in a lifetime deal! I wish I can be there...

[don don]

Heading to Nashville to pick up my brother flying in from Phoenix and then heading to Louisville. Any of you guys want to meet up Friday night? If so, PM me and maybe we can get together. Look forward to seeing you guys and the one and only Van Fuckin' Halen! Balls to the Wall from here on out. Did I say I was stoked? OMG...I'm SO fuckin' ready to rock out! Everyone who's going on here, be safe, have a safe drive/flight, and let's party hard and welcome back the baddest mother fuckin' band on the planet!


See you there!
Peace,

Don don
