Title: -- Offical Freakout Thread --
Post by: dogpatch on October 20, 2003, 08:19:56 pm: 13 at the door....I always like to get tickets in advance, in case it does sell out. So I bought my Freakout tickets today from tickets.com But I payed freaking 17 each! It would have been cheaper to get them in the door! I thought advance was supposed to be cheaper, but those slinkers add service charges and handling fees so you pay up the ass. What\'s up with this. What\'s the point of getting them in advance.
Title: -- Offical Freakout Thread --
Post by: tiedyetoga on October 20, 2003, 11:27:59 pm: The Service charges have nothing to do with PB. Thats all tickets.com, I\'m sure that you can call the Webster and buy them there. The Freakout is going to be a packed house and to buy your tickets in advance is a good idea.
Title: -- Offical Freakout Thread --
Post by: dogpatch on October 21, 2003, 07:34:25 am: Yeah, I know the service charge has nothing to do with PB. I\'m sorry if I made it seem like it did, I was just ranting at tickets.com:-D I did call the Webster, and they said for tickets call tickets.com. I couldn\'t really have bought them at the Webster\'s box office seeing it is a three hour drive! But I\'m glad I got the tickets anyway. A Packed house eh! Good to hear; let\'s hope there\'s dancin\' room!:P

Post by: ChrisPitch on October 22, 2003, 12:57:38 pm: MMW!!!! Can\'t wait for that one. Anybody going to the show in Torrington?

And yes, smoke free is a relief. Has that fully taken effect in CT and if not when? I thought it took effect for official bars soon, but certain places, who are under the title of "coffeehouse or cafe or whatever" are still allowed to support cancer until a later date. Anybody know the deal?

I\'m not sure about Chili\'s in staven (i try not to eat with the locals). But the one in Milford had no smoking.......but the bars in new haven are still smoking. Last weekend, the playwright, botegas, and sci fi were all smoky. I really can\'t wait.... I hate when my hair smells of cigarettes. Plus the smoke always makes my contacts get dry. This is a fantastic idea, all you smokers, can kiss my tight ass.

It just sucks. That is why NYC IS LAME. I used to be able to go to venues that were "smoker" friendly and now that is all gone. And not to mention the FUCKING SMELL. None of you dirty ass hippies know how to shower! The stench in the bars is AWFUL. I personally would gladly smell of cigs then have to smell the fucking BO that permiates throughout the "JAMBAND" clubs now.

You\'ll see what I am talking about soon enough

Let\'s see...

It\'s general admission, but there are seats in the back. There\'s a great space for taping (though it\'s not a great taping venue). You\'ll know it when you see it. Security isn\'t too bad, but they will bust you. And, though you didn\'t ask, parking is surprisingly decent, just don\'t park too far away or you\'ll be in the hood.

Title: -- Offical Freakout Thread --
Post by: daffodil on October 31, 2003, 04:12:58 pm: i don\'t see why they would. every time i\'ve gone there they run people out of the lot and make them go inside. one time i got stuck listening to a despicable opening band.

but, don\'t take my word for it. i\'m not always right.

Post by: bluefunknebula on October 31, 2003, 04:19:02 pm: oh...i\'ll take your word for it. i\'ve had the same experiences there. what time is pb on? any bars nearby? i haven\'t ventured out to far when i\'ve been to the webster...no idea what\'s around.
Title: -- Offical Freakout Thread --
Post by: daffodil on October 31, 2003, 04:30:02 pm: i\'ve been told pb goes on right at 10:30, and that other cool stuff will be going on prior to that (in addition to the opening bands). as far as i know, there\'s not much around there besides the ghetto...you\'re wise not to venture very far from the webster.
