FUCK, this is so close to me and I don't have $245. I'm going to riot.

Be like me and come just to hang out. Carling might be coming down with me, too! It would be so fun to get to actually see you and hang out with you instead of whatever it was that happened at HOB :P

The Megabus doesn't go to Sparta, it goes to Lexington, so I'd either have to take a cab or have someone pick me up...and would you guys be camping or staying in a hotel or what? I might be able to pull this off.

...Hell, I pulled off Cleveland. If I can figure out a way to get to Sparta, it should be a piece of cake. It's too early in the year for band competitions and everything so. :lol:

edit: Or maybe I could actually convince my mom to drive me? I doubt it but I mean...she doesn't work that weekend. But she also hates driving. But yeah, if I have a few/more details, I could probably get her to say yes.

The cool kids are planning on camping as far as I know. Fuck paying for a hotel when we can easily live out of a car. How far away is the venue from your place? If it's not horrible I bet your mom would be down for it!

It's about three and a half hours, but she wouldn't want to stay the weekend or anything so I don't know if she'd want to do it because, y'know...driving. So I'd probably need someone to pick me up or need money for a cab or something. Although, in Cleveland, the bus went directly there so I didn't have to worry about paying for more transportation, so this might freak her out a little...I don't know. =/ I wish I had my own car. :lol:

I'm surprised I haven't seen someone post "THIS IS SPAARTAAAA!!!" yet. :lol:

Maybe they'll actually announce some good bands soon.

I'm working on a meme. Stay tuned...

Maybe Billie will call Norah and they can play Kentucky :lol:

this is exactly the same thought I first had when I heard about the show :P

I always wish green day would sing "she's a rebel" in Toronto just for the line "from Chicago to Toronto she's the one that they call, o whatsername.

If there is a whole song Billie/ the band play about a certain city I think it must be done!

Posted

If Green Day's going to play a festival in Kentucky, I wish it had been Forecastle.

Posted

I would pay $75, it isn't that much! If they did both, I would be at both! I already have 3 people to go with, so I'm good for 3 different shows.

I would probably only be able to go to that one $75 show.

Broke college student paying thousands for tuition... Why you gotta do this Green Day.

I e-mailed NiFi today and this is their response:

Hi Laura,

We are still finalizing the schedule, so keep an eye out for it in the next month or so. If we end up releasing single day tickets, it would be after the schedule comes out -- this will depend on sales for 3-day passes.

Thanks for reaching out! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Caitlin

She got back to me in 10 minutes. Pretty decent for customer support!

"Month or so," hmm. That's not too bad.

I still think they'll wait until after the "payment plan ticket" deadline of June 30 though, to try and rope people into buying the more expensive tickets...

Yeah, okay, so my mom saw that I had commented on Hannah's Facebook status and asked me if I wanted to go. I told her the tickets were $245 and that I couldn't afford it but that Kay and possibly Carling were going to just hang out and she said, "Oh, really? That's great! Would you want me to drive you so you could go hang out too?" I didn't even have to bribe her. :o So it looks like I'll be there to chill! And if they do end up releasing single day passes, I'll try to get my hands on one of those 'cause I could afford something under $100, most likely.

I'd only be there Saturday and Sunday though 'cause football games will probably have started by then which means I'll have to be doing my nerdy marching band kid thing on Friday night.

That's not even remotely close to Brazil

Posted

I was just thinking that if Green Day and Weezer shared the stage, my head might explode. Does anyone know if they're playing on the same day? I'll take out a third mortgage so I can open a fourteenth credit card especially for this occasion.

Posted

Someone may have mentioned this already but I'm 99% sure there will "warm up" shows before this. They wouldn't go into it cold.

So there's that.

again this shit of mocking brazilians?

Posted

yayyy eva!

kay are you definitely coming now too? you can sleep in my tent ;)

Will we be allowed into your tent if we haven't got wristbands????? I definitely have put this in my calendar!!!! I can use the money I'm saving on not traveling to see Lana del Rey to come to this!!

Posted

i think we're gonna camp offsite! the onsite camping is shitty and once we're there we won't be allowed to leave at all and alissa and i decided we don't really like that. there's other campgrounds nearby for like, 30 bucks a night so i think that's our best bet!

omg I am so there. Yes. YES YES YES. I am definitely coming :D

am i included in the camping fun? i'm just trying to figure out what i'm doing lmao :lol:

mom said she (and my sister if she's with us that week) are probably just going to rent a hotel room and leave me to my own devices w/ GDC people after we get there and then she'd pick me up wherever sunday and we'd be on our merry way back to TN

Posted

Your mom is the coolest :D Idk what the camping situation is though so I can't help you there!

I was wondering that. I wouldn't go just for this but if there were other shows...

Posted

yeah, we'll figure it out. :P I think she expects me to be w/ y'all most of the weekend though.

also I have no idea what she's going to do there for two days by herself but she's apparently cool with it so? lmao. She gets a tiny vacation to Kentucky, I guess.
