i cant make any promises. i might have one. i wont know till what im hoping is the first of june. i know its not a pm,but i didnt wanna be a d!ck and make it seem like i definitely had a ticket.

its fine
i aiming for at least 2 so my dad can go
so if i can snag 2 i will be ecstatic
and u dont sound like a dick
a dick would be like "i might be able to help you but i wont tell you how"
you are more like "i hope i can help you"

are people waiting in line or is there a meetup? ill be down there early afternoon waiting in line probably.

I know this is late, but if anyone has one extra I can really use it.  I will even offer something extra for your consideration.  Let me know at
 
Thanks

El Jefe is correct. Union Square is the closest one. However, I dont know how many blocks it is, but it's only a 25-30 minute walk from Penn Station if you're coming via train. What time of day do you think you'll be getting to Irving?

Am I gonna be the only one waiting?

Thanks for the subway info! Yeah I am taking the train. I'm gonna try and be there in the city by 6ish?

Your welcome. If you need any help Google maps works great. Just put in the Penn Station to Whole Foods at Union Square (it's across the street from the station) and your good. I would link it, but I dont know if it will keep the same directions and stuff. Now is your train getting in by 6? Or you'll be at the venue by then?

My train gets in at 6:05 so I'll be at the venue by 6:30-6:45 most likely.

I meant Irving/Union Square (considered flatiron? i dont know) was 25-30 min from Penn. My bad.

Anyone suggest a good preshow bar spot close to irving plaza?.... saw one called Sidebar online...looks decent...and what time do you think TGA will actually be on, 10ish?

there is a real awesome dive bar right around the corner called bar 119. right across from sidebar.
never been to sidebar but it looks expensive everytime i see it.
there is a pool table and pretty cheap beer. and there is usually always good music playing.

I hope to be there maybe 5-6ish. It is definitely going to be a good one. I'm so stoked for this show!

Setlist?

Met some fine folks a few blocks away for some food and spirits at Petes Tavern,then headed over to venue. GA came on at 9:30 ish and finished up around 11. Ill let others go more in depth over the set list......lotsa new and lotsa old. The new songs sounded great live for the most part,with many joining in sing alongs on the new ones already. Props to the band for mentioning the Court tavern. Brian also made it a point to mention the tour ending in New Jersey at the stone pony and sounded genuinely excited about the homecoming gig. Great band ,great night.

Heres the booty i ended up coming home with......

great show! new songs sounded a lot better than the bonnaroo boot. rival schools also kicked major ass. now to wake up in an hour...

I'm jealous, I didn't have enough money to get the print as well, so I only got the hoodie. I'm crossing my fingers that they didn't sell out and a few land up on the webstore soon. As for the show, Its all that I've come to expect from a TGA show, the band plays their butts off and we all know the words to sing back to them. A few people might be surprised that the entire venue knew all the words to AS, but considering the record had leaked almost two months ago, it wasn't that much of a shocker. But the band did seem genuinely enthused at the fact that we did know the words. I was really stoked to see Tim Barry for the first time live and man did he deliver, he is such a great musician and overall person.

Anyone know if there is a recording of the show or some kind of boot coming out? They played the whole record (basically) in succession. I gotta hear that!

alex r's new guitar is fucking awesome
and his live singing has improved by a million.
sounded great on all of the backups.
incredible show.
