H.Stone Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Who else is going to paint their chest with me? Is this related to the show? Because I can't make the show, but if you're talking random acts of chest painting or whatnot, it's something to consider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dude Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 YES! I'm in. Got my tix. These shows are Awesome! Does anyone know how big this place is and how it compares to the Vic? According to this, the main sanctuary can accommodate 1000 people: http://www.emanuelcong.org/aboutus/building/ I have painted my chest with the W in the new font from the new record and will be chest thumping everyone with a white t-shirt I can find I may not recognize you at the show due to a rare memory-loss condition that happens from time to time.

Guest Speed Racer Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Temple Emanuel is a liberal congregation, but maybe not THAT liberal. So Millionaire likely won't make it onto the setlist? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But nothing on a hotel close to this venue. Only thing I've come up with is Super 8. Would love any other suggestions but seems to be closet choice....and I'm not staying in the international youth hostel! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
