hmmm. you sure vip is not for the main floor ? well, you know, i'm not sure. i just know there used to be this "ascot room" where bands would play that was off of the main area on the second floor (i think). never witnessed a concert in the "ascot room", so i cannot vouch for its whereabouts.

only thing I've seen in the 'ascot room' (in the back, upstairs) is some Trance-type Dj's...That's a good bet for the VIP area, possibly the whole 2nd floor.

I'm in, probably along with Mrs Wolfdog...she's still a maybe, but got her a ticket anyways. Got the 21+ tickets, so I'm assuming I will be allowed to drink. I don't believe I can get a Pabst at such a fine establishment. Alas...there is always Newcastle. Oh Christ. I knew that went too smooth. I frickin bought the 18+ ones. The setup I've heard might be, drinks upstairs (where the rail is!) no drinks downstairs.

What's the deal with the password for the VIP tics?

What's the deal with the password for the VIP tics? No shit, I figure the time I wasted on that- I missed the VIP availability. By the time I got the ticketbastards on the phone, they were gone- this at 5:30! Not bad selling out $49 tickets in 30 minutes. But I am annoyed. Hope I'm not stuck in the dry zone!

the ascot room is sitll in full effect for bands, my band played there a couple months ago. i woudlnt thinkany VIP thing is going on. and at the quest, ythere will be beer garden area's you will be able to drink both lower and upper level. just have to have id, and wrist band...not sure if the beer garden will be sectioned offf...but dont worry if you bought the non vip tickets..you will still be able to drink. no question about it.

Even more than hanging out with Paul Westerberg fans, I like hanging out with the subset of that group known as Cheapskate Anti-Corporatist 1980s Veterans for Truth and Standing in Lines. Speaking on behalf of the Westerbergian proletariat, some of us are more poor than anti-coporatist-ist, or something. So I try to buy concert tix at box offices whenever possible. Does anyone know if I can avoid Ticketmaster fees and online snafus by buying at the Quest box office? They aren't answering their phones and might not till past 5 p.m. I suppose. (I am so lame at buying online that I managed to move from front row (or something like it) to upper deck at a stadium show in a matter of minutes while ticketmaster.com pestered me to re-enter crap, last time I tried.) Funny, ticketbastard did the same thing to me back in pre-internet days. Back in the redial, and redial again days.

The worst part...
I gave plasma to pay for the tickets, I'm so poor.

Yeah, I talked to a couple of Ticketbastard people. I also called The Quest. Nuthin.

Christ you two. I'm not sure who to feel sorrier for. But I think Faith wins for giving blood.

Oh my effing god.
You and Faith need to promise me that you will both be at your computers on Friday WHEN tickets go on sale (not 45 minutes later!) and WITH all appropriate boxes checked. We cannot have a repeat of today's dismal performance...

Has anyone else noticed that there is a "dance party" type thing on the Quest calendar for 10 PM on the 21st? Will this concert really be over by 10? With this line up I hope that it last a little longer than that. that would only leave 30 to 45 min. for each band. That's not enough!!!

I didn't get the vibe from this show that it was going to be a very regimented thing like each act would have an equal time for sets...it seemed more like Soul Asylum plus Paul, Bob etc etc...Maybe I'm just reading into the billing.
