my mom is visiting me for a few days and we might go up to this and make a day out of it. can any northampton peeps recommend good restaurants/shopping/sights??

For towns of their size, dining in Amherst and Northampton is about as good as it gets, and it all lies within a few blocks in each town.

there are 10 iron horse shows on archive. is this a new development?

I guess at least since Peck got treated like dog **** last fall. Every Iron Horse show I went to back in the day was taped.

The criticisms of IHEG have been there since day 1. The Breakfast always plays a great show there and it\'s a fun town so the benefits definitely outweigh the criticisms and constraints for most.

if you are coming from CT, the weird beards are playing an early show at javapalooza in middletown the same night.

there is no cover charge and they sell heady beers for cheap. show starts at 7pm. stop by if you are passing thru!

How much are microbeers at IH now? I remember paying $6 for a beer there way back in 2001, more than I recall paying at any bar these days in much more expensive cities (with the exception of some rare Belgians I tried).

Alcohol.... lol... with all the awesome substances available in the world it\'s beyond me why people throw down $40 to stand in line to take a **** all night and then feel like **** the next day.

Mama, shopping: The Hempest
Food: Pinnochio\'s Pizza or Bueno Y Sano burritos
Sightseeing: Watching all the freaks wandering around downtown

Last Iron Horse show was a mind melter and a half. Now if only they\'d let us in when the show is supposed to start... I really hate that guy who takes the tickets. You know, the fat rude fucker who treats people like cattle. Dude needs a wedgie.

because it\'s legal, unlike most of the substances to which you\'re probably referring. not saying i don\'t agree with you, but i\'m sure it\'s a big reason why. i\'m guessing if i had a lot more to lose (ie family of my own, big important job, etc.) i would be less inclined to take a risk like that. luckily, i don\'t

and if you do it right, a hangover shouldn\'t even be an issue...just stay away from the well drinks. in a place like this, sneaking a flask in probably wouldn\'t be too hard to do...hmmm

do they combine forces and issue a pizza burrito?

Well they are right next door to each other. I think you\'d have to combine your own forces, although I like the way you think.

Yep Zuke sneaking in a flask shouldn\'t be too hard. Make mine a flask full of ... um.. sweet breath :lol:

Iron horse is always awesome. All the employees do seem to be a little uptight, and management could afford to remove the stick from their asses. I wish they would let us chill up in the balcony before the show or during the set break. Lastly regardless if the show is taped or not everyone should be making every effort to get to any show. If you can\'t, then we understand. But believe me i am still waiting on that audio from Harper\'s Ferry, and i was at that show!

I was just recalling your pizza burrito story: "you\'re my pizza burrito"

i dont understand why those of you who hate the venue don\'t just suck i up and support the band. they have no shows booked after this month except for one at the end of june, and i dont see why they would want to add more dates if their fans wont see go see them strictly because of a bad experience with the venue. regardless, i\'ll be there in full force to have one more show with my brother greg ellis under the belt before he heads out west. the kid spent 4 years busting his balls for the band and us, and i think he deserves a great send off. see you friday i really can\'t wait
