St. Charles tickets.

[Boilin' Strings]

Just got my tickets to see Dave on 11/25/05 in St. Charles, Mo. I called the venue to see how many seats they had and they said the place only holds approximately 390 people...that's right, 390 not 3,900. Sounds like sort of a shit gig for Dave, but I am excited to see the Diamond one so up close and personal.
It ought to be one hell of a show.

Boilin' Strings, you coming all the way from Indiana with a banjo on yo knee nah? This gig is gonn' be bad to the bone yez yez....like seein' Roth in a juke joint with all sortsa larcenous mofos shootin' the two, playin' texas hold 'em(YOU GO GET JOE!), wheelin', dealin', and freewheelin' all HELL YEZ YEZZ YEZZER!!!!!!

Diamond Dave is 'bout to run up one side of the Arch, bungee jump down it, canoe up and down the Mississippi Rivah, and find a lil' time to rock the houze and steal all of our girlfriends. I ain't lyin'. Nothin' But The Blues!!

Yezza massa...I's a comin' all de way from a indeeanna.

Seriously, Loon, what can you tell me about the casino venue? Have you ever been there? Do you know how they work the door and how early you have to get there to be first in line to get up to the stage? Never been and I want to see the man up close and personal-like.

In closing, I's thanks yous for you tym an' bes seen ya on de banks o de big muddee...

Also, just to clarify, I have never been to the Ameristar casino. I have seen Dave several times. Probably the best show I saw was in '93 at a little shit theatre in Peoria, Illinois. The place only held like 600 and was only two-thirds full...most of Peoria missed one hell of a show that night. Hopefully St. Charles will be that kind of show.
