Brooklyn, NY show (5/16/12)

Yeh- last time it was a Friday in August so maybe it was just extra crazy (bunch of restaurants nearby). I have never had trouble at the Bowl. I always get parking on the same street, at the most a block away from the place. It's a delight. However MHOW was a nightmare. Hopefully it was just a fluke last time!

Parking in Williamsburg is super easy. Since everybody has bikes as opposed to cars. There should be 0 problem with parking tonight.

Fallon just walked out and handed us the first 7" copies of 45 he said they just got them and gave us free copies!

Also if anyone follows Alex on instagram, that's my brother in the corner of the picture he just posted

No way! That's so cool man

Awesome!

Your earliness to the show is freaking me out!

Nobody else is here

I commend you on your dedication. But now I'm going to make it all about me and say that I'm worried about getting a good spot *and the concert anxiety blackout begins*

when i was young i used to arrive to shows 2 hours before doors. then once i was running late and arrived to the venue as the band hit the stage. i was on the barricade by the end of the first song. it's not that hard.

Exactly the same here. I used to do 2h before, was late (to the Hives) and got front row at Irving Plaza when they couldn't have been bigger popularity-wise. That was when I was like "Why was I knocking myself out all those times?!" The only band where truly fanatic kids show up early and made life difficult was MCR at Starland. But there's been all this hype over tonight's show I'm like... please let me at least be able to see! Concert paranoia.

Pearl Jam fans...now there's the crazies..

MCR fans got to Starland (and Yule Rock) the night before. I mean there were kids waiting on the streets of Times Square by themselves. WTF! Starland was harder cus it was smaller. I would have had front row at Yule Rock getting there just after doors but I had to go in and out of the photo pit so I lost my place. Ended up stage side.

I am really talking about MCR a lot lately. Whatever. I don't apologize.


Are you guys gonna watch the show online? Hopefully it looks/sounds good!

PJ fans started lining up in Berlin 3pm, the day before the gig...crazy people.

I'm going to have to hope the stream is up for download in the morning, have to be up really early in the morning.

EEK! 3pm the day before?! OK that beats My Chem kids.

crazy doesn't even begin to cover it. people started the line for Pearl Jam at the Vic Theatre in Chicago in 2007 around or before 3pm the day before too. i didn't get into town until a few hrs later but my friends were already in line, so i joined them. being up front was worth it in the end but it was still insane.

Are Gaslight taking the sage at 9, or is that just when the concert begins with Tim Barry taking the stage (if i recall it is him opening)?
