anthony Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The venue is in the "Gaslamp District" that has tons of great restaurants, bars, etc. Really nice down-town area. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 We are thinking of hitting the toney Grant Grill at the US Grant Hotel for happy hour which goes from 4-7. Its fancy and expensive, but the food and drink are reportedly excellent in the fine dining style. Maybe not that rock 'n' roll but we ARE going to the symphony hall for the show, so maybe its not such a weird juxtaposition. Walking distance to the venue, too.

Muzzle of Dan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 So excited for Sunday in San Diego and the rest of this week in LA!!! This will definitely be the best week ever, for anyone. We will be on the floor/right center/row G on Sunday! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How "walking distance" are we talking, since I've got a bit of walking disability? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 6 blocks from Grant Grill to Copley Hall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 6 blocks from Grant Grill to Copley Hall. That's not too bad, since they are city blocks, which tend to be short. What time do you plan to be at Grant Grill? I'd love for some of us who are going to be in the area to meet up! Say, between 6 and 7? Doors are at 7 for the Copley, show at 8. Reserved seating means no need to be early! Hope to see you there, Shug, if our long drive from Riverside goes uneventfully! I look like my profile pic & I'll be with my 21-yr-old son Brennan. Come one, come all! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tranimal Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So pumped that I'm heading back to the west coast from NYC and Wilco is playing three shows in NorCal when I'm home. So disappointed that I don't have tickets and after refreshing Craigslist ~50 times today the cheapest I saw on there were $110ea for floor. Boo! Hoping to score some tickets and love me some Wilco when I'm home. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Anyone know any good bars before/after the show Friday night in downtown LA? A place where the hipster-dbag to civilian ratio will be somewhat tolerable? Just a couple of dudes looking for beer and good tunes. How is King Eddy Saloon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tstrapac Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Any meet-up/dinner plans for tonight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Any meet-up/dinner plans for tonight? Shug (Matthew) had suggested either The Association and The Varnish (speakeasy type bars within a few blocks of the theater). After reading up on each, they both seem terrific but The Varnish is tiny & says on the review "not good for groups" so The Association might be a better bet. Whaddya think? I'd love to meet up with whoever's going, and with reserved seating there's no rush for the line. Plus today's my birthday, so let's celebrate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Okay, were going to The Association, if anybody wants to join us. Look for me, I look like my profile picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
