Hey Jocelyn,
Is Rt 19 the same as Monterey Drive? That\'s the only Sleep Inn I can find in Aiken.... is your rate better than $58 / night?
Looks like there will most likely only be two of us.
up nooo Rte 19 is Chesterfield and also Whiskey Road; it might be technically outside of the city of Aiken but in the country of Aiken... although it is only 3 miles from the Brewery.
I believe 58 is about what I would be paying per night, but I talked them into an "extended stay" discount. (:
Only 2 of you? Marcial, rally the troops!
Joc, can you get me the phone number of your actual hotel... not the Sleep Inn 800 #) so that I can make sure I\'m at the right place... according to their site, the only Sleep Inn in Aiken is on Monterrey....
Actually, is your hotel right behind a CVS Pharmacy?
yes it is, and by a Gold\'s Gym... the number is 803-644-9900
Hell Yeah - we\'re just 2 days away from the 3/20 shows - I\'ll caravan out to Aiken after the ATL show and probably try to make it back to ATL that same night, since I\'m used to staying up late. I\'m thinking Aiken will be a ser show because 1. The Breakfast is headlining, not opening, and 2. there will be at least a small
**** contingent of super devoted fans.
Realistically, I don\'t see the band going on in Aiken till at least 11:00, because these afternoon shows at Smith\'s in ATL typically last until about 7:00, even though it says 4-6 on jambase. What happens is, the band goes on from about 4:20 - 5:10, and then Dunham, the radio dj who is hosting this event, talks for a while, has a raffle drawing, and lets a solo acoustic singer do one quick number. The band usually comes back on at 5:30 or 5:45, and plays until maybe 6:45. Maybe the band should talk to Dunham before the gig and tell him they\'re in a hurry to get to another gig in SC that same night, so the setbreak can be shorter than usual, although it might save 15 minutes. Anyway, my point is, jambase says this will last from 4-6 while realistically I\'m saying it\'s gonna last till 7:00. I\'ll be the dude in the bright green shirt so be sure to say wassup.
Hey origen... I can\'t wait, dude! What is the crowd usually like at these afternoon radio shows?
Don\'t know what I\'ll be wearing, but I\'ll be the big tall dude with dark hair & a goatee....
mar,you forgot to mention the chinese eyes and maryjane smell on your breaf
Yeah I will be smelling of buddah - but I expect a fairly good crowd at this afternoon show - Dunham has all kinds of street team people and e mailing lists, he pimps the shows during his drive time radio show, and the afternoon show phenomenon has been going on for a few months so word has spread. However, Smith\'s Olde Bar is a small room so we\'re not talking about crowds in the hundreds - realistically there will be about 70-90 people, the perfect amount for such a venue. All the people there are knowledgable about music and will know a sick band when they see one - the crowd is not your usual casual walk up crowd - they are all
**** into the music scene. The small size of the room means excellent sound, and z-93, the radio station, will get a top quality recording, perhaps better than the average bootleg. Remember that Smith\'s has an upstairs and a downstairs - THE MUSIC IS ALWAYS UPSTAIRS. And don\'t bother showing up until about 4:00, because the bar doesn\'t even open until around then, and if you show up early you might just have to wait at the caribou coffee across the street. See ya\'ll there!
origen, you hitting up the Columbia or Aiken shows? If so, find me and introduce yourself! I am relatively short with brown scraggly looking hair. Actually I\'m just kind of scraggly looking in general, he he he. It should be easy to find me in Aiken because I doubt there we be many other girls with dreads...
