    Do I have any chance of getting tickets for all 4 shows?

     

    I think you will be lucky to get a ticket for one.  The Largo holds less than 250 people, some sites I look at said 130 capacity.

     

    My fingers are crossed to get into one!

    Got a ticket for the show but am having a hard time figuring out how to get a ticket to the movie without paying for a festival package. Any suggestions?

     

     

    Just show up to the theater before the event.

     

    They let pass holders in first, and then sell tickets after. Not sure how popular this showing will be - so tickets may not be an issue

    We will be at the show. Not sure about the film..

     

    I have a buddy that is somewhat involved with folks in the know, and apparently there will be some "special guests" at the Q&A after the film. No idea who though - Good chance for some special guests at the Soho gig too.

    Actually, general admission is the best for the Wiltern because you're on the floor. All the reserved seats are on the balcony further away.

     

    True they are closer, but only good if you are in the very front section, or the front of each level.

     

    I usually don't bother with the floor there any more - maybe I am old, but I much prefer the first few rows of the balcony for site and sound. Plus wife is preggers and she won't go if she has to stand

     

    ... at least I am in.

    Travel - Suggest Places That People Must Visit

    Yeah, I'm guessing you were meaning to quote me. We definitely feel we have MORE than enough budgeted. If we can come home with more money than when we left, it will be a good thing. We will definitely splurge now and then. You need to. Both my (future) wife and I are experienced "vagabond" travelers, so we feel like we know what we're getting into. As I posted at the top of this thread, we did over a week in Panama in style (three days of two tank dives) for less than $400 for the both of us. I had one of the best meals I've ever had in a shack eating freshly caught snapper (I think it was snapper) that we saw handed to the cook by a local spearfisherman. Buses are definitely the way to go. They can be scary in places but you can get just about anywhere on a bus for basically nothing... if you have time to spare.

     

    With regard to budgeting time, do you think two months is enough to do Peru, Ecuador, Columbia and Bolivia right? We are then planning to do another month and a half in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

     

    We were kinda rushed - spent 10 days Peru - really only in Cuzco/inca trail that was enough time there - didnt make it to nasca, lima, etc.

    Ecuador,lots of options - coast, jungle, galapagos

     

    A month was a short time for Argentina, only got to hit Iguazu (two days is plenty) Mendoza (five days not enough), Calafate/Chatlen (very $$$) and BA -

    Chile, Argentina and Brazil are huge areas - could spend more than a month in each. Really depends what you want to do. Visa's are costly for Boliva, Chili and Brazil, I think $150 a pop - that kept us out. (this may be differnet now)

     

    I am not too much of a seasoned traveler, but we made a couple of reservations (inca trail, galapagos) and did the rest on the fly.

     

    Panama is on our shortlist.. - cheap flights from LA - just need time to get around. A little more difficult to get extended periods off..... but now you got me thinking. .....

     

    How long did it take from Panama city to get out to Santa Catalina, and with a little more $$ is there a quicker way? What about surfboard rental/purchase... damn airfare is almost as much to bring a board as to fly down.

    I've never been to it but I hear that the Black Canyon of the Gunnision in western Colorado is also pretty spectacular.

     

    We did three months including Belize, Gutemala, Ecuador, Galapagos (7 day cruise), inca trail, including a month in argentina and would have been able to stick to your budget for the time frame you are working with. Since our trip was "short" we flew a lot. After speaking to a bunch of folks down there, buses are a nice way to see the world and depending where you are, can be a much different experience than what you would expect stateside - in argentina the buses were fantastic.

     

     

    There are cheaper ways to Galapogos than the flight, and if you have time - think of the adventure. Many folks get deep discounts just showing up and jumping on with what is available. This was most likely one of the most expensive per day segements of our trip, but not too bad when you broke it down.

     

    regarding the inca trail - for less than $10 a day, hire a porter and grab some coca leaves. Did the trail and hyuanu piccu - yes was a little tired, but no worries.

     

    Check out the lonely planet travel thorn discussion board - lots of great 411 on cheap places to stay, ways to get around etc.

     

    50k is over 200 a day - many places that could buy you a week..... .

     

    my advice - a few splurges placed strategically through the trip will be something you will never regret.......

    Wilmington Show

    Posted

    Coming from Cali for the Wilmington show and we are quite stoked about the whole deal. :dancing

     

    We are brining my Uncle and Aunt and coming down from Philly.

     

    We really want to show them a bang up time and I know the show will do it, but can anyone suggest any great places to eat, drink and be merry before the show? Does not need to be too fancy, but it must be good food. These folks enjoy culture and are adventurous as well. So nothing is out of the question.

     

    Perhaps something in stumbling distance as the opportunity to catch a nice buzz :thumbup

     

    Thanks in advance....

    New Beck album

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    totally stoked on the new album, just scored a pair of tix's for a "secret" LA club show tonight - saw some vid's on youtube of a Monday night gig, and his new stuff sounds great.

     

    hope to put up some info on it later.

    Ryan Adams & the Cardinals 2008 Tour Dates

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Yeah I guess his solo set was the opener. We got there about five minutes before the Cardinals went on so I'm not 100% on what went on.

     

     

    We caught the last two songs of the opener in Santa Barbara - Most folks did not recognize him and he called himself JJ Boullobase -

     

    basically said " the only way Ryan would let me open for him, is if I did his songs, and acted like him"

     

    Pretty funny -

     

    Kind of set the mood for the first half - he did not get the recognition he was hoping for as the opener - and it took him a little whie to get in the mood.

     

    Good show -

    Dumpstaphunk... SoHo -Santa Barbara 9.19.07

    in After The Show

    Posted

    Started off the evening with a fantastic dinner with the wife at Hungry Cat.... SB's new hot spot - nice to see a restaurant packed in Santa Barbara at 9:30 on a Tuesday Night > enjoyed a fantastic meal with some killer cocktails, the muddled fig lemonade was stellar

     

    strolled over to SoHo and sauntered up to the bar for s tasty sierra, the joint was filling up rather nicely

     

    A little after 10 the band came on and wasted no time getting down to buisness - for well over two hours the band tore up the place. Wasn't a bootay that wasn't shaking all night. :dancing

     

    Something absolutely fantastic about seeing such great talent in such an intimate venue - if you are on the fence about seeing this band - get your ass out there an do it. They will not dissapoint -

     

    Not sure of the setlist but I seem to recall the following songs being played among many others

     

    Stinky

    Meanwhile

    Livin in a World Gone Mad

    Soul Power

    Super Bad #

    Come On Funk It Up

    Sympathy For The Devil

     

     

    A taper was present - hopefully a good quality recording of the show will surface...

     

    arrgh..... :pirate
