I'm in row U. Too bad you can't tape. Well, I'm assuming you can't because the last RA show I attended they were not allowing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 See you there. I'm in row U. Too bad you can't tape. Well, I'm assuming you can't because the last RA show I attended they were not allowing it. was this recent? I'd heard that Ryan encourages people to tape his shows. He even went out of his way to buy some sort of special soundboard hookup, so multiple people and plug in with their recorders and whatnot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Hey Roy! I'm hoping you'll be bringing your stealth rig ... are ya? See you there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
partyroy Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm not bothering to tape, I am assuming the Detroit crew who have the onstage mics mixed with the soundboard feed are going to be there doing their thing - at least they've done all the Ryan shows within reasonable distance from Detroit. Ryan is certainly allowing, if not promoting, the taping of his shows. The multiple patches mentioned above, audience ambiance being fed through the mix, and the instant appearance of virtually all of the shows appearing on the live music archive all point to Ryan continuing to cater to the tapers. I think I'm going into town early to assure that I don't have the deal with post-football traffic - though I'm unsure what I'm gonna do for the two hours or so I'll be stuck down there. Probably be the dork I am and read at Border's like before Tweedy or maybe find a TV and some Guinness or Newcastle and watch the U of M game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I didn't even know this show was happening. That how out of the concert date loop I am. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 You guys who will be in attendance have a blast. We saw them play twice last week and they were on fire.Enjoy it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Holy crap lots of VC'ers going! I'm in row S seats 105 and 106, see you there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pitseleh17 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 wasn't able to get tix for this one. very surprised at how fast it sold out! instead, i'm road tripping with a friend to the oct 27th show in ohio! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Believe it or not, I'm not going. I was slow off the mark to get tickets. (It's OK, I've seen Ryan three times already.) I may end up meeting some VCers beforehand for dinner, however. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Saw him at the Gem earlier this summer and my recollection was that they were not allowing taping. Thinking Zingerman's for dinner Tom. Any thoughts? It looks like it'll be a nice night to sit outside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking Zingerman's for dinner Tom. Any thoughts? It looks like it'll be a nice night to sit outside.Your best chance at Zingerman's is if you arrive while the game's still going on. Downtown Ann Arbor experiences a lull during home games, but before and after it's completely overrun with maize-and-blue-clad morons. Hopefully you'll be able to park within a half mile of Z's. If you run into too much of a crowd at Zingerman's, there are several other good places downtown, closer to the venue, that aren't as popular with the MABCMs. Wendy's probably going to call me when people are preparing to gather, and I might come on down and join the crowd. If it's Zingerman's, you might want to order your sandwich with the mustard on the side ... the kitchen staff has developed a bad habit of trowling on so much mustard that you can't taste any of the other ingredients of your sandwich. That's happened to me the last four or five times I've been there, and I think I've finally learned my lesson. It's a pity, because those sandwiches are amazing when properly made, but I just don't trust those kids any more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

partyroy Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 I'm off, I'll be wandering around looking lost and stupid. Gourds shirt, Saginaw hockey hat, red. Have fun at the show and maybe I'll see you 'round. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalle Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 It was a pretty great show for my first time seeing Ryan. We drove down from the Sault early that morning, shopped for a bit and just missed meeting Ryan at a guitar store. But ended up meeting him after the show. Super super nice guy. I'm off, I'll be wandering around looking lost and stupid. Gourds shirt, Saginaw hockey hat, red. Have fun at the show and maybe I'll see you 'round. How bout the Hounds beating the Spirit eh?!?!?!?!?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 When we saw him a few month's ago he rushed past everyone to get on the bus - saying he had to leave to get his arm looked at. When we came by a few hours later, the bus was still there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
partyroy Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm quite used to Saginaw losing to the dogs, we have had more GM's and coaches in the last 5 years than you have had in the last 25 I bet. Our ownership and upper management has their hands on everything and can't leave anything alone. Every time they draft or sign a player the owner has quotes about the player in the paper - he owns car dealerships, his opinion on a player shouldn't mean jack shit, but he always has his hands on everything. At least Tlusty is gone, every time we played against him he'd have like 5 points it seemed... Juice didn't look so hot for once, though, but Perron was so bad it didn't matter. I wasted about 2 hours in the used record shops and spent all my money on vinyl, there is none to be had by me here in the thumb. When I meet Ryan in 2000 is was nice, nice and drunk. I kinda kept an eye out for him at the record store but I was too busy deciding how to spend the $100 left in my pocket... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
