I\'m assuming that the upstairs is the room that holds only 90-100 people?  I\'m hoping to get there early so I don\'t have to sneak through the back door like some people did last January.

just checked the website and from what i can deduct its more like 200....actually 194 to be exact, as opposed to the downstairs which holds 575 for "national touring acts"

Can\'t believe it has been almost a year since their last stay at the Middle East.

 :wtf2: is going on?

They probably could have gotten away with late spring and late summer shows booked at the Middle East.  Better late than never!

Whatthefunk, Was just going to post in here about promo.

Any help whatsoever will be appreciated in promotion for this show. Boston is definitely a city in which the band should sell out/pack the house constantly.

So, all you Bostonians go out and flyer.

If you need material, email Tim @ tim@thebreakfast.org.

Consider Umass Dartmouth well flyierd.

Also, does anyone know anything about public transit/closing time in Boston? I know the T in Boston shuts down around midnight, but that they run bus routes over some of the lines...now I could just go to the MBTA website...but does anyone who has been there before have experince? And/Or it is just easier to park?

Hey al??? you going to the middle east??? Great it will be good to say hello in person. If you all remember it was packed in there (sold out upstairs). I felt like I got there early, but not in enough time, I felt rushed. Anyway I do suggest getting their early considering the last time they played upstairs. But do not forget the actual last time they were there was downstairs, which sounds much better. So why upstairs again??? maybe because it has been so long?
About the MBTA, I use to live in boston I seem to remember the T and Bus lines  being open. It is a friday night. But I would check the website just in case.

the last trains leave govt center around 12:45.  so you have to leave the middle east by like 12:10ish (i\'m just guessing here) to be able to catch the trains into the city, and probably later to catch the trains out.  

you can always find parking, it just sometimes takes 5-10 minutes to drive through all the blocks with the lots. (if standing outside the front of the middle east, facing mass ave, there are lots across the street over there, try those)

the buses, well, depends on where you are going, just check individual bus lines.  or cab it.

i\'ve missed trains leaving middle east shows early before, so take a chance.

unfortunately, the night owl NO LONGER RUNS.  they got rid of that.  (despite the 800 times i called to complain how we need it).
