I just joined the Fan Club (today!) and the FC presale is from now until Friday . . . I can buy up to 4 tickets they are $64 each - I've never been a fan club member before so does anyone know where the FC tickets are good for?? And I have no idea if these FC tickets will have other fees :0/

Citi Cardmembers
Start: Wed, 05/12/10 10:00 AM PDT

I am very excited about this . . . let me know if anyone else wants to go!! Like I said I can buy up to 4 tickets - planning on buying them either tomorrow night or Friday morning.

[caligirlUCR]

Interesting that the ticket price range for the show is $29.25 - $60 but the FC price is $64 is this normal??

[NicoleErin]

I'm semi-interested...it's SD though.

[deegee83]

got your call yesterday - i'm sick again so didn't call u back - but I am sooo in for this!

not sure about the pricing issue

[WestCoastLady]

I'm in....but I think we'll need 3 tickets (WCKid is sooo lucky to see all these concerts!)

Time to talk to WCGuy ;)

[caligirlUCR]

I'm semi-interested...it's SD though.

Yeah it is but it will be fun :0) and you can meet at my place and we can carpool and then u can stay the night if you want!

[unclefeiny]

As much as it pains me, I'll have to skip this because of my stupid job. At least I assume I'll be back working by then.

[deegee83]

The Live Nation site says this event begins at 4 PM. Darius Rucker and Justin Moore are the openers.

[deegee83]

BTW section 103 is stage right and it has 50 seats still available...go Crystal, go!!!

[IheartMillerLite]

I had FC seats for his show in February. They were awesome!! And with the fan club you don't pay ticketmaster fees so that's why it's a flat $64 most likely. Have fun!

[NicoleErin]

Is there not an LA show?

[IheartMillerLite]

Don't think so...he just played here in February at Staples.

[WestCoastLady]

Darius Rucker??? Oh, I'm soooo there!!! Loved him last year at SC09.

[caligirlUCR]

Sweet I didnt know about the openers!!! Ohhh Feiny is going to be upset about missing this even more so now!

yeah I think we should go the FC route!! Thanks Lisa for the info!!

And Nicole - nope the only other CA date is up near Sacramento. And this is his new tour - H2O :0)

[caligirlUCR]

Nicole maybe we can stay with Deegee :0) *hint hint*

[unclefeiny]

I'm not going to look at this thread anymore until it changes to a new conversation because it will just upset me until then.

[caligirlUCR]

Awww sorry Adam its not intended to upset u . . . I have seen Brad at Jimmy Kimmel's outdoor stage and at SC and I have been DYING to see a BRAD show :0) I was super sad that I didnt get to go to the one in February - especially since it was the day before my Birthday . . .

[Chevgirl357]

Awww sorry Adam its not intended to upset u . . . I have seen Brad at Jimmy Kimmel's outdoor stage and at SC and I have been DYING to see a BRAD show :0) I was super sad that I didnt get to go to the one in February - especially since it was the day before my Birthday . . .

I kinda want to go, but really can't afford all of this and I have way too many things lined up right now. It's funny that Darius Rucker is opening when his show before SC was selling for what, $100!

[caligirlUCR]

I love that Brad's highest ticket price is $60!!!! Makes me love him even more!!! I could probably front you the money for a bit . . . plus I owe you $25 - I can put it towards it if you want.

Ok so I know its Me, Deegee, and room for two more

Nicole are u in??? Chev let me know :0)

Brad Paisley Announces H2O World Tour With Darius Rucker, Justin Moore
Singer-Songwriter Also Plans Concerts in England, Norway
March 22, 2010; Written by Craig Shelburne


Paisley will launch his H20 World Tour on May 21 in Virginia Beach, Va., with guests Darius Rucker and Justin Moore.

Paisley has partnered with the Hope Through Healing Hands campaign to draw attention to the fact that one out of five people around the world lacks access to safe drinking water. Donations will be made to the campaign during each tour stop. Paisley announced his tour on Monday (March 22) on World Water Day. In addition, his next single from American Saturday Night is titled "Water."

In addition to 36 shows currently scheduled in the U.S. and Canada, Paisley will also perform his own shows in Europe. He will appear at Shepherds Bush Empire on June 23-24 in London as well as the Notodden Music Festival on June 25 in Oslo, Norway. Paisley will schedule additional shows throughout the year, with plans to visit 75 cities on the tour. The first leg of the tour, which is presented by Chevy, concludes on Sept. 25 in Denver.

The H2O World Tour will also include a Water World Plaza sponsored by Sea Ray Boats and Skinny Water. Performers in that area will include Easton Corbin ("A Little More Country Than That"), Steel Magnolia ("Keep On Lovin' You") and Josh Thompson ("Beer on the Table"). In addition to the music stage, there will be multiple water-themed activities such as a Chevy H2O FLW fishing simulator, dunking booth and Hope Through Healing Hands' campaign booth. A Corvette driving simulator will also allow fans to virtually race against Paisley -- with an opportunity to meet and greet the singer if he doesn't win.

"I've never been this excited about a tour," Paisley said. "After one of the worst winters I can remember, we're going to make up for it this summer."

Ohhhh and thats not all folks!!!!

"Let me give y'all a brief rundown of what we're going for in this H2O tour," Brad tweets. "First of all, why it starts at 4 PM? We're setting up a water world plaza with fishing and Corvette race simulator, dunking booth for radio DJ's, and a separate water world plaza stage featuring Easton Corbin, Steel Magnolia and Josh Thompson. They start at 5. They are all tremendous."

Music will start on the main stage at 7:30 pm, with Justin Moore and Darius Rucker opening and Brad headlining.

"And wait til you see the set and effects," Brad teases. "It's all meant to feel like summer and water. I want you to be able to hop off your boat or outta your pool and go right to our show. Like you're on vacation. I wanna give you way more than just your money's worth. I want you to forget this crappy winter."

[WestCoastLady]

Just joined the FC - $18 for online access only.

I can buy tix tomorrow a.m. If anyone needs me to get you a ticket, just let me know....I'm buying 3 for the WC family....

And since it's a Friday show, WCKid is going to love getting out of school early (or missing the whole day!)

[Chevgirl357]

I love that Brad's highest ticket price is $60!!!! Makes me love him even more!!! I could probably front you the money for a bit . . . plus I owe you $25 - I can put it towards it if you want.

Ok so I know its Me, Deegee, and room for two more

Nicole are u in??? Chev let me know :0)

K I'm not sure still. It's just too far in advance! If you have the extra ticket closer to the date I might take it, otherwise don't trip crip. I thought you owed me $40....:confused:

[WestCoastLady]

[Chevgirl357]

Oh yeah, it's a weekday, me too. After party then!

[KittyLeigh]

Oh yeah, it's a weekday, me too. After party then!

YAY! Sounds good to me!

[IheartMillerLite]

Only WE can turn a clearly labeled Brad Paisley thread in to a Julianne Hough at the OC Fair thread. =)

[KittyLeigh]

haha - so true!

Maybe a new idea for an SC tank...?

SCMB - we have ADD

or - we get derailed (with a little train picture)

:)

[uscpsycho]

SCMB - We like Beer. We like Sex. We hate knuckles. We got no standards.

[NicoleErin]

Only WE can turn a clearly labeled Brad Paisley thread in to a Julianne Hough at the OC Fair thread. =)

Anyone else good playing at the OC Fair? Ventura and LA havent announced performances yet. Don't forget...Dierks at Antelope Valley Fair!

[caligirlUCR]

Yes Julianne Hough is on July 29th . . . . hey where are ur tickets at?? Chev u and I can pre-party and then we can after party w the rest :0)

Nicole - there are a few other pretty good acts but they escape me right now . . .

[unclefeiny]

I might be down for some OC Fair action. I'll be unemployed and will have plenty of time on my hands. Does anyone have the details?

[IheartMillerLite]

Yes Julianne Hough is on July 29th . . . . hey where are ur tickets at?? Chev u and I can pre-party and then we can after party w the rest :0)

Nicole - there are a few other pretty good acts but they escape me right now . . .

Our tickets for Julianne are the circle section, row BB. =) Not quite sure how I got such good seats. We're also seeing LeAnn Rimes in August I believe.

[WestCoastLady]

Getting ready to purchase 3 this morning....anyone need me to buy you a ticket on the presale???

[Chevgirl357]

Anyone else good playing at the OC Fair? Ventura and LA havent announced performances yet. Don't forget...Dierks at Antelope Valley Fair!

Yes! Martina McBride I wanna see SOOOOOOOOOOO freakin BAD!! And LeAnn Rimes is playin too. So is John Legend if anyone likes him...

[deegee83]

Getting ready to purchase 3 this morning....anyone need me to buy you a ticket on the presale???

Crystal is buying one for me. Good luck on the presale.

*fingers crossed we all get section 103*

[caligirlUCR]

Our tickets for Julianne are the circle section, row BB. =) Not quite sure how I got such good seats. We're also seeing LeAnn Rimes in August I believe.

Wow that is a score!!! Chev and I are in Section 3 Row H - not too shabby :0)

I saw LeAnne Rimes a few years ago at a fair and she completely disapointed me . . . . she just stood there and sang . . . didn't really dance or seem like she was having any fun. So I can't say I would ever want to see her in concert again

[IheartMillerLite]

Really? I think I've seen her at the OC fair for 3 years and I've always enjoyed her. Maybe you got a bad show. =(

[Chevgirl357]

Only WE can turn a clearly labeled Brad Paisley thread in to a Julianne Hough at the OC Fair thread. =)

Forgot to comment, but YES, I love it!!

[uscpsycho]

Can't believe you guys are this excited to see Julianne Hough.

Yes! Martina McBride I wanna see SOOOOOOOOOOO freakin BAD!! And LeAnn Rimes is playin too. So is John Legend if anyone likes him...
I have tickets to Martina!

Wow that is a score!!! Chev and I are in Section 3 Row H - not too shabby :0)

I saw LeAnne Rimes a few years ago at a fair and she completely disapointed me . . . . she just stood there and sang . . . didn't really dance or seem like she was having any fun. So I can't say I would ever want to see her in concert again
I saw LeAnne Rimes open for Kenny a couple of years ago at Staples and thought she put on a nice show. Definitely moved around a lot.

If you don't like performers that just stand there avoid Trace Adkins at all costs.

[Chevgirl357]

Can't believe you guys are this excited to see Julianne Hough.

I have tickets to Martina!



JEALOUS!

[uscpsycho]

JEALOUS!

Only if you were hooking up with her :D

[Chevgirl357]

Only if you were hooking up with her :D

Ha! I meant I'M jealous!!

[WestCoastLady]

Okay, question, peeps - I bought the 3 tickets for Brad Paisley for the WCFamily, but I didn't see anywhere what my seat location was....

Am I missing something?

[Chevgirl357]

Okay, question, peeps - I bought the 3 tickets for Brad Paisley for the WCFamily, but I didn't see anywhere what my seat location was....

Am I missing something?

When you do it through the Fan Club you don't know what your seats are til you get there (at least for sure with Brad). They are typically GREAT seats, they say they try within the first 15 rows. We had AWESOME seats at Staples Center.

[WestCoastLady]

So do they mail the tickets to you? Or do they hold them at Will Call?

They asked for a shipping address, so I figure they will show up soon....

[honkytonkangel]

Myself and a coworker tried so many times to get tix today and it NEVER recognized the codeword and the seats left on the Citi presale all sucked! I am so PISSED! Guess I will just have to try with the regular people tomorrow morning...:(

[Chevgirl357]

Myself and a coworker tried so many times to get tix today and it NEVER recognized the codeword and the seats left on the Citi presale all sucked! I am so PISSED! Guess I will just have to try with the regular people tomorrow morning...:(

Sometimes you get better tickets that way!

[IheartMillerLite]

So do they mail the tickets to you? Or do they hold them at Will Call?

They asked for a shipping address, so I figure they will show up soon....

They're at will call. :D

[IheartMillerLite]

Can't believe you guys are this excited to see Julianne Hough.



I saw her open for Blake Shelton and George Strait last summer when I was in DC. I thought she was awesome! Besides Gwen Stefani, she is my other girl crush. And I'm super excited to be in the second row from the stage!

[uscpsycho]

I saw her open for Blake Shelton and George Strait last summer when I was in DC. I thought she was awesome! Besides Gwen Stefani, she is my other girl crush. And I'm super excited to be in the second row from the stage!

She's hot and I'd love to be that close to her for a prolonged period. I've seen her in Nashville and she was good but I wouldn't be that excited to see her again.

[caligirlUCR]

Plus the tickets for Julianne were only $15 each!!! so totally worth it - especially since it included admission to the fair . . .

WC - yeah they are at will call and make sure you bring your ID to pick them up. I am super excited for this show . . .

Maybe I did get a bad LeAnne show but yeah I wouldnt pay to see just her again . . .

Hey did you guys hear?? Faith Hill is going to be the the Orange County Fair on July 24th Tickets went on sale today . . . for those who might be interested they range from $50-$100 each . . .

[Chevgirl357]

Guess what? J bought me tickets for Martina McBride! Section 2, Row V. It was my Mother's Day present. I'm so stoked!

[Rose]

Yes! Martina McBride I wanna see SOOOOOOOOOOO freakin BAD!! And LeAnn Rimes is playin too. So is John Legend if anyone likes him...



I LOVE LeAnn Rimes voice...FOR ME, she does not need to dance around for a fantastic show. I saw her at State Line last year (Glorianna opened) and she sang acapella which so few artists can do and really pull it off. Then again I've been a big fan since she was 13.

John Legend, seen him twice in concert. I like him, but he is an acquired taste and I don't need to go see him again. Not sure why he was so strong out of the gate and then his career fizzled?

Now back to Brad Paisley...

[Kbug&Shanrock]

Guess what? J bought me tickets for Martina McBride! Section 2, Row V. It was my Mother's Day present. I'm so stoked!

She is awesome! Got to see her about 4 years ago at the outdoor theater at Pala Casino. Such a great show! Enjoy!

[uscpsycho]

Hey did you guys hear?? Faith Hill is going to be the the Orange County Fair on July 24th Tickets went on sale today . . . for those who might be interested they range from $50-$100 each . . .

This is tempting. I'm not sure I've ever seen her do a set (other than a cameo she made at a Tim McGraw concert). There aren't many current country performers I can say that about.

[caligirlUCR]

Ok so I have one ticket left for some lucky person to sit with Me, Nicole, and DeeGee . . . not sure where we are sitting since it was bought through the Fan Club . . . anyone wanna join? Its going to be a blast!!!

[NicoleErin]

Ok so I have one ticket left for some lucky person to sit with Me, Nicole, and DeeGee . . . not sure where we are sitting since it was bought through the Fan Club . . . anyone wanna join? Its going to be a blast!!!

You're in for a good time if you do!

[deegee83]

I think we can talk Honkeytonker into it.
I texted him last night.

:)

[caligirlUCR]

ok cool let me know what he says :0)

[caligirlUCR]

Bumping this still have 1 ticket avaliable :0)

[IheartMillerLite]

Come on Crystal, we turned this into an OC fair thread. hahahaah

[unclefeiny]

Bumping this still have 1 ticket avaliable :0)

Alright, did you get seats through the fan club? If so, I'm in.

[Chevgirl357]

Alright, did you get seats through the fan club? If so, I'm in.

Yes, yes she did. And yes I'm jealous! There is just NO way I can afford to go!

[NicoleErin]

Alright, did you get seats through the fan club? If so, I'm in.

It's in SD though, on a Friday, I believe!

[festivalfan]

gosh I would love to see him again. His concert in LA was one of the best I have been to. I am hoping he adds an LA date, if not I'll have to make the trek to SD. also his fan club seats were awesome!!

[unclefeiny]

It's in SD though, on a Friday, I believe!

I know, that's the two reasons why I didn't buy tickets to begin with. I decided since I only ask for days off for concerts and WWF and Stagecoach are the only ones I need time off for, I can get one more day.

[caligirlUCR]

Hey Adam yep they are through the fan club!! :0) Let me know if u want it . . .

[caligirlUCR]

Come on Crystal, we turned this into an OC fair thread. hahahaah

lol .. there is no deterring me from Brad :0)

[unclefeiny]

Hey Adam yep they are through the fan club!! :0) Let me know if u want it . . .

I thought I already did? If not, I want the ticket.

[deegee83]

yay Feiny is down!

Adam - we are going to hang at my place after the concert, and hit sea world the next day if we feel like it, LOL

another option is drive up to Mazda corporate HQ in Irvine on Saturday for the biggest annual meeting of rotary engine cars on the west coast, Sevenstock. :D My RX8 club buddies will all be there showing off their hottt car "mods" .

[caligirlUCR]

I am totally down for sea world the next day . . . . :0)

[deegee83]

[caligirlUCR]

Hey Adam I just PMed ya the info . . . and lol . . . I still vote sea world!! :0) Lets keep the water theme going lol . . .

[IheartMillerLite]

Sea World was more fun when they had the free beer tasting room.

[KittyLeigh]

Sea World was more fun when they had the free beer tasting room.

Another vote for that. An annual pass then was great! Visit friends in San Diego - Sunday before going home, stop at Sea World, do some beer tasting, visit the dolpins....and maybe a few other animals if needed the time to sober up...then head home! :)

[deegee83]

I have another friend who wants to go now....any chance of getting an extra with our group?

[caligirlUCR]

Hey Deegee I pmed you for this :0)

[reising22]

Hey guys i am guessing that none of you saw my post back in June on Facebook about these tickets they were one of the ones that went on sale on Livenation for $10 with no fees. I am going we have lawn seats. I think we are going to get a room at the Best Western was the cheapest place I could find. It was $89 for 1 room suite which has 2 beds and a sofa fold out.

YAY! WCL, WCK, and WCG are down!!!!

k, ladies and germs, it's time to plan our tailgatin'....

NicoleErin, my advise is to get going on the road early, since the first show is at 3 PM. I'm taking the day off work. I am planning on having you, Adam and Crystal stay overnight after the show. If you all want to meet at my house and go to the crick together in one car it will be much easier. Feiny volunteered his Prius for tailgating. We can meet up with WCL and her krew at the venue. I've got her number.

SO....do you all think you can get to my place between noon and 1:00 so we can park most of the cars there, stow all the overnight things, carpool to the venue, and have a preparty in the parking lot from about 1:30 to 3:00? If so, then I will take the lead on assigning food items to bring. It will be BYOB + some to share on the booze.

My place is in the La Jolla area near the UTC mall, for those in the know.

[deegee83]

BTW the stock directions to the venue will put you in the middle of mad traffic.

I go this way:
805 South to 905 East/Otay Mesa Road (yes, it is SOUTH of the amphitheatre)
Left on Heritage Road (a winding road through a bunch of ratty auto salvage lots)
Right on Heritage Road (it dead ends)
Left into the amphitheatre parking lot.


ALSO, word to the wise, the cops there are kind of a$$holes. If you are rowdy they WILL arrest you.

You need to hide the booze while tailgating. It should be poured into a cup. They really don't want to arrest you, but if you are walking around the parking lot with a bottle of beer they will hassle you.

[WestCoastLady]

Sheesh. Deegee is the expert here....

Do you know what time they open the parking lot?

And for those Brad Paisley fan club members, don't forget to register for the M&G :)

[NicoleErin]

Sounds good to me! OMG, I'm taking the 5, so that'll take me FOR-EVER to get there. Google Maps says 2 hours and 45 min.

[caligirlUCR]

Yes - I will have that day off too so I plan on Leaving in the am and heading to ur place deegee - Also is everyone down for sea world the next day?? :0) I am soooo excited about this one! Nicole/Adam should the 3 of us carpool down to SD??

[NicoleErin]

Meh, thanks but no, I totally have to pass on Sea World. Bleh.

[unclefeiny]

I think I'll have to pass on Sea World as well. Saturday is Yom Kippur, so I get the joy of fasting that day!

Damn! I wanted to challenge you to a food competition! Anndd....that was my joke of the evening! Thank you! thankyouverymuch! Adam, what time do you plan on leaving Friday?

[unclefeiny]

I'm taking the day off from work so I can leave whenever.

[deegee83]

Yay this is coming together nicely so far for Friday.

Crystal - Next day I'm expected at SevenStock with my RX8, so I have to pass on Sea World.

[caligirlUCR]

Ok no worries . . . so Adam/Nicole wanna all carpool??

[deegee83]

Sounds good to me! OMG, I'm taking the 5, so that'll take me FOR-EVER to get there. Google Maps says 2 hours and 45 min.

5 South transitions to 805 South around Del Mar. Just making sure Google Maps got you savvy.

:D

[NicoleErin]

Adam, I have the day off too, so ya. I dunno. I feel sick right now, so I can't think.

[deegee83]

I've PM'd Adam with my address and directions....

Please let me know what time you all think you'll be arriving on Friday.

Let's be thinking about snacks to bring, too.

I'm partial to chips and dip....goes with beer

Mmmm! Now I'm in the mood for Ruffles and that tasty onion soup mix you mix with sour cream. So tasty and so healthy!

I'm scared to drink too much outside of the venue - last time I was there I only saw one porta-potty!

[deegee83]

mmm that does sound good. we can also do some tortilla chips and guac!!!!

[reising22]

Hey everyone I have tickets for sale I can't get the day off work and everyone I was suppose to go with bailed...I only want $20 each and we have like 6 tickets if anyone wants one send me a message or email me jenniferreising@gmail.com

[Chevgirl357]

Hey everyone I have tickets for sale I can't get the day off work and everyone I was suppose to go with bailed...I only want $20 each and we have like 6 tickets if anyone wants one send me a message or email me jenniferreising@gmail.com

Oh man, I WISH I could take the day off for this!

[deegee83]

I wish you could too. It would be a blast!

[Chevgirl357]

I wish you could too. It would be a blast!

I know! And I don't really have any plans this weekend at all! But I had to come in late today because of my kiddo's school, have to take time off Wednesday for his lunch on the grass at school, and then I had to leave for a couple hours today because my mom was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance (she's ok, but it was a scary couple hours). So I don't think I could take off more time right now, as much as I REALLY want to. Well....maybe....lemme ask my boss tomorrow. And see if Jennifer has her tix left. I wouldn't be sittin with ya'll but I don't care about goin by myself....

[Raquellita]

then I had to leave for a couple hours today because my mom was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance (she's ok, but it was a scary couple hours).....

Oh my gosh!

[Chevgirl357]

Oh my gosh!

Yeha, it was REALLY scary. My sister called me and my mom had passed out and peed on her and wasn't breathing. She called 911 and then my mom was breathing but irregular. I got to the hospital about 10 minutes after the ambulance. By the time they let me see her, she was ok, and more embarrassed than anything and didn't understand why everyone was makin a big fuss. They've released her now, did a bunch of tests, I think it MAY have been dehydration, but IDK. I did so much prayin on that car ride over, it was probably one of the scariest times of my life. I am just thanking God right now that she is ok.

[IheartMillerLite]

I'm glad she's ok Chev! But I'm sure you were goin' crazy!

[Chevgirl357]

Ok well now I have a ticket for Friday (YAY!) but no ride! Who's leaving at what time? I prob can't leave til like 1pm unfortunately. Doors don't open until 4pm so I SHOULD be ok. But my car right now has BAD brakes and I think my tranny might be goin out. I have 2 more months before I can try for a new car! I can get a ride back on Saturday, just need to get there on Friday!

[Rose]

Good to hear your mom's O.k. Chev. Scarry when you pass out and it REALLY scares everyone around you.

[unclefeiny]

Sorry, just catching up on the thread. I'm leaving early Friday morning and planning on coming back super early Saturday morning. I have a football game to play in at 11 in the morning and need to get back in time to change, stretch, etc. so I doubt I'm a good carpool option unless anyone is willing to travel that early and meet at my place so I'm not losing time Saturday on stopping elsewhere. Let me know what you ladies want to do.


Ok no worries . . . so Adam/Nicole wanna all carpool??

[caligirlUCR]

Wow Chev I am glad ur mom is ok!!! and welcome to the party!

I'm actually going to head down Friday morning too - and not sure if I will be leaving from HB or from my Aunts House in the IE. and then I have to be back on Saturday for work. But I thought doors opened earlier . . .

[Raquellita]

Give your mom a big hug for me ok?

[unclefeiny]

I think the concert starts at 4, hopefully doors open before then.

[Miss B]

oh my gosh so sorry about that scare with your mom. thank god she is alright! have fun at the concert!

Doors open at 4pm (that's what my ticket says). I can get off work at noon if anybody can wait until then. I will get a ride back with Deegee on Saturday, so you don't need to worry about bringin me back! And I live right off the 405 so if I'm on anybody's way.....would REALLY appreciate it!!! Like a ton!! Willing to pitch in for gas of course. My car just sucks right now. I WILL drive it if I have to though, I am definitely going!!

[deegee83]

Aw Chev glad that your mother is OK now. What a scary thing to go through, for all of the family.

We don't have tickets in hand yet - they are at will call - so it is good to have confirmation that the doors open at 4. I was for some reason under the impression that the concert started at 3 and was hyperventilating that with all of you coming down it would not leave much time for tailgating.

Well now with me leaving at noon, I should be able to be there by 2pm (pending crappy SD traffic!) Sounds like everyone is leaving earlier than me, although I haven't heard from Nicole yet on here. I'll shoot her a text her shortly.

[NicoleErin]

Hi! I'm here! (stinking work!) I was talking with Adam and I kinda like his idea - allows me to make the last PowerKrank class on Sat, and he's sorta on my way. AND! It'll keep me from drinking too much knowing I have to wake up early!

I'm quite excited for tailgating though - I'm really looking forward to those stupid Ruffle chips and dip. I'll bring that and a case of beer. My faves are Shock Top, Bud Light Lime or a Sam Adams (either Cherry Wheat, or one of the seasonals), any of those ok with you guys? I obviously can't drink it all myself. Anything else I can buy at the grocery store? I plan on stopping by Thursday after work. I'll look into my cooler situation (my dad took his back after I've had it for YEARS).

I'm with deegee when I thought acts started at 3...? Still, the earlier the better.

[deegee83]

GREAT!!!! So we'll plan to go from my place at 2PM or whenever Chev shows up. That should work out great and give us time to tailgate a bit before the doors open at 4.

Yay on simple stuff. I'm down for fritos and bean dip and guac. LOL, Goes with my Dos Equis.

I have a cooler ready to roll. Chev could probably bring a second one.

Don't forget cups. All our beer has to be poured into cups at the tailgate area....don't want cop trouble.

Awwww, so you can't carpool with me either? I'm on the way to SD just can't leave before noon on Friday! Again, I DON'T need a ride back Saturday.

I have PLENTY of coolers, lemme know how many you want me to bring. I have ALL the stuff for tailgating (grill, propane, iPod speaker, etc.) as far as beer, I'm gonna have to bring whatever's in my fridge. I am so broke right now I can't afford to buy anything! I have food in my pantries, so I'll bring some stuff too. Lemme know ANYTHING ya'll need, I probably have it!

[Chevgirl357]

Awesome! Yes, i can bring however many coolers you need! I have red cups, so don't even worry about that. What else?

[deegee83]

LOL i thought chev said she had food in her panties

[deegee83]

well it sounds like all we need is to get you a ride down here!!!

[Chevgirl357]

LOL i thought chev said she had food in her panties

Well no, not food, but there is something that can be eaten.


That was bad, but the setup was so nice!

[deegee83]

this time i doubt we'll be grilling, unless Adam is really horny

[deegee83]

Well no, not food, but there is something that can be eaten.


That was bad, but the setup was so nice! LMAO well played ;)

[deegee83]

Chev def. bring the ipod speaker!

If you have tortilla chips in your "panties" you should bring them

[Chevgirl357]

Chev def. bring the ipod speaker!

If you have tortilla chips in your "panties" you should bring them

I can probably manage to grab some tortilla chips. Bummer I'm so broke, I make some good salsa and guacamole! I'll do somethin though, I never show up empty handed!

[Raquellita]

Well no, not food, but there is something that can be eaten.

Holler! Ok, for serious, my biggest concern is what to wear! Shorts and change into jeans? Totally wearing comfy flip flops - what sweater/jacket do I wear? haha

I was there about 6 weeks ago and it was COLD at night.

[deegee83]

daytime is fine, but it's not much warmer at night now. bring a sweatshirt and jeans for when it gets cold.

[unclefeiny]

I'm going to have to tailgate hardcore. Yom Kippur starts at sundown which means I fast until Saturday night at sundown...no food, no beer, just water.

[caligirlUCR]

OK so heres the thing - I kinda wanna head to the venue before 2pm especially since I want us to have time to tailgate and get our tickets before the acts start - I emailed the fan club for more info about the concert but I was under the impression the first act started at 3 or 4pm so I think doors open at 3 and first act is at 4. But like I said I should have exact info soon. I have no idea what to expect as far as line wise to get our tickets and again I want to have time to figure it all out. The original plan was to meet at deegees at noon - that is still what I going to do because heading down to SD on a friday is usually not so nice traffic wise. I just think leaving at 2 is too late and will stress me out. I want to have a fun carefree day :0)

[caligirlUCR]

I have ice chests and such as well . . . So I will bring mine too. I am thinking if we plan on drinking we should have a little bit more than just chips and dip so I was thinking about picking up one of those sub sandwitches that way no one has to cook and very minimal cleanup - what do u guys think?

[Chevgirl357]

Well that kind of sucks. I know I'm a late addition and all, but is it really a big deal to wait for me? If this is a hassle, I can just skip it altogether. The doors open at 4pm, that's what it says on the actual ticket in my hand. Guess it COULD be wrong, but don't see why it would be. I'd like to have a fun, carefree day too an would rather go with the flow than stress on time constraints. I can't get off work until noon, just how it is for me. I will leavestraight from work and at best can be there by 1:30pm. That would put us in the venue by 2 and that's at least 2 hours of tailgating. IDK, maybe I should just forget it, it wasn't my deal in the first place.

ETA: I'm sorry if this comes across snippy, I've had a really hard week and just can't handle anymore negativity right now.

[WestCoastLady]

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out what time the parking lot opens...anyone know? Since parking is free (dirt lot, not really close), I wonder if you can get in early-early?

Also, John has access to one of those Margaritaville tailgate grills. Anyone want to plan on doing burgers/hotdogs?

We will also be bringing a cooler full of food/drink/snacks....

I have the day off work ;)

[caligirlUCR]

I'm not trying to be negative at all :0( . . . . I would just prefer to go early and start partying. I am very excited you are coming and dont want you to skip it. But would it be that big of a deal to just meet us in the parking lot?? I have been planning this/excited about this for months. The rest of us are all meeting at deegees at noon so to wait an hr and a half for one person just doesnt make sense to me. Again I am not trying to be negative or anything I just dont really want to sit around for an hour and a half waiting.

[deegee83]

OK one thing at a time....

Shirley : I have no idea when the parking lot opens Shirley....call the venue would be my best suggestion. Text me when you get there and describe where you are parked so we can find you and your coooler! LOL! Sounds like you'll be getting in earlier than us. As far as burgers and dogs before the show, I'm not up for it, but maybe someone else is.

NicoleErin : there are porta potties...lots of them...in the dirt parking lot. Drink away.

Crystal: The tickets say on them gates open at 4. So, the timing is going to work out fine. There is a lot of distance to travel for all of you coming down, not just to my house, but also to the venue...but if we can somehow all get to my place by 2, we'll have plenty of time to tailgate before the gates open at 4. Keep in mind also that after the show, we'll be hanging out at the car/tailgating for probably an hour. There's no use driving away due to the traffic getting out. Also, it will be time for Adam to eat and drink :)
YES I like the sandwich idea. Good thinking. NicoleErin, Adam and Chev? You like that idea too? NO we don't need another large cooler. Two big ones will be enough.

Chev: I think it will be fine timewise if you hit the road at noon from work since the tix say gates open at 4. You'll have time to put your stuff down at my place and then we'll carpool in Adam's Prius to the venue at 2. That puts us at the venue at about 2:30. OH and I thought of something else to bring.... a blowup mattress, sleeping bag, and pillow. Lauren won't be giving her bed up for you.

CHEERS it's almost here!

[unclefeiny]

I just got off the phone with the venue since there was so much confusion. The parking lot opens at 2:30. The parking lot stage starts at 4. The main stage opens at 7:30.

What this means is that we should get to the venue as early as possible because there will be a huge line to get into the parking lot at 2:30.

[WestCoastLady]

I tried to call the venue to find out about the parking and just got an endless loop of recordings, no matter WHAT buttons I pressed :(

If you need an additional airbed for the night, I have a queen aerobed if anyone wants to borrow it :)

Perfect, sounds like I'll make it in time! If it's anything like Verizon, it shouldn't be TOO crowded (we had NO trouble at Country Throwdown, tons of space), but I'm not sure if Cricket Wireless is similar or not. If you guys are gettin to Michele's at noon, start your drinkin, I'll catch up!!

Sandwiches are a great idea!

Shirley, yay, we'll get to meet up there! Not sure about BBQing, I might steal a burger if you're cookin em though!

WE will have PLENTY of tailgating time if we get there at 2:30, and I can't see any reason we wouldn't get there by then. That leaves FIVE hours if some of us only watch the main stage acts (who's playing the small stage??).

Is your couch still open Michele? And no worries, I can bring whatever if not! Oh, I have to leave by 8am Saturday morning, I have a dang football game to play at 10am. It's only an hour and then I'll meet you at my place and we can do SevenStock, sound ok? Sorry, meant to call you about this, call me this evening if you wanna go over details!

[unclefeiny]

Steel Magnolia, Easton Corbin, and Josh Thompson are on the small stage.

[Chevgirl357]

Steel Magnolia, Easton Corbin, and Josh Thompson are on the small stage.

Hot damn, I'm sooo stoked about this concert! Ok, IDK who Josh Thompson is, but def wanna see the other 2! Wowzers, this is gonna be awesome!!

[deegee83]

CHEV: Sure, but my couch has two spots Chev. Bottom line is that you have to sort out that with Adam and Nicole! One person will be on the floor, so that's why I need a blowup/aerobed. Crystal has dibs on the futon in the guest room/office.

Sounds like we have a grip on the logistics now that Feiny got the official word on the parking lot opening time and the small stage set start time.

Of course, no prob on the air matress. I'm the newbie in this deal, the rest of you who have had this planned awhile get the couch (unless somebody PREFERS the air mattress, doesn't matter to me!). Yay, excited!

[IheartMillerLite]

Don't forget your bathing suits for the slip 'n' slide!

Wait....wha...????

[Raquellita]

Wait....wha...????

Ha Ha Ha! That's what I was thinking.

[NicoleErin]

I have a logistics issue! I wanna bring that stupid dip that requires sour cream, which requires it to remain cold, but I'm not bringing a cooler. Adam, are you?

I think I have an extra carton of sour cream in my fridge, I'll bring it if ya want!

[WestCoastLady]

Is anyone making jello shots? Do I even dare suggest them??

Adam is not bringing a cooler as far as I know.
So.....
Suggestiones para tu problemo:

1. get a small cooler at the drug store like a lunch pack and put a frozen blue ice thingy in it

2. Wrap it up in newspaper with a ziploc baggie of ice, then wrap again in a brown paper bag

Once you get to my place it can be transferred to an ice-cold cooler for the trip to the venue.

:D

Also, I tweeted Josh Thompson to find out about times for 2nd stage. Its as follows: Door open @ 4, Easton Corbin on @ 4:45 ,Steel Magnolia @ 5:20, Josh Thompson @ 5:55

Smart! But I don't get the newspaper part. Can't I just throw it in a large ziploc with ice in it?

[deegee83]

way kewl, love 2 line dance! thanx for posting! welcome!

[WestCoastLady]

Newspaper will act as insulation....keeps the cold in :)

[NicoleErin]

Thanks, but I'll just use one of deegee's ideas. From what I remember, it's best if it's mixed then kept cold for a bit.

[deegee83]

no because as the ice melts it will get into the container....my method is failproof.

[NicoleErin]

Mkay, so I'm heading to the grocery store during my break today for the freakin dip makings that I've been craving, chips to go with, some beer (12 pack at the most, I can't drink too much)....anything else? I'll roam around and see if there's something else to grab. Maybe a veggie tray?

Feel free to text me, deegee, I'll send you a PM with my number in it. Should I bring a pillow and blanket?

[deegee83]

Don't buy anything else at the store other than what you mentioned. Crystal is bringing us a huge sandwich and I'm bringing other food and a flat of water. Karena is bringing the red cups for our drinks. You are all set.

I don't have your phone number but will PM you with mine.

Bring a pillow and a sleeping bag and you're good to go.

ONE MORE DAY!!!

[caligirlUCR]

I am sooooo excited!!!!

Adam's comment about the slip n slide is probably a good one. Since the theme is water wearing a bathing suit might be a good idea - there are supposed to be a lot of water themed activities :0)

Thanks for the info and welcome! I just listened to a couple of his songs this morning, I'm so excited about this whole line-up! Hopefully I can upgrade my ticket once I'm in!

To all - everything sounds great! I'll bring what beer Rich has left me in my fridge and some liquor (shots shots shots!)

SHIRLEY - YES YES YES to jello shots!! :D

I'm bringing:
Red cups
Ipod speaker
Ice chest (do you want me to bring 1 or 2 and if just 1 do you want large or medium?)
Ping Pong Balls
Any need for my inflatable beer pong triangles? Does ANYONE have a portable table? Shirley?? Can you bring yours??

[WestCoastLady]

SHIRLEY - YES YES YES to jello shots!! :D

Shirley?? Can you bring yours??

I was already planning on bringing one of the white foldable tables (2' x 4'?)....

Will also have a big ice chest....going shopping tonight so keep the ideas coming!

Awesome, can we use it for beer pong??

[WestCoastLady]

Should I bring two tables? One for beer pong and one to set up the food?

[Chevgirl357]

We need to do that in the parking lot before we're all....imbibed.
Oh, onebadcountryboy and his wife and friends are gonna meet-up with us in the parking lot!

[Rose]

Enjoy, have fun and everyone be safe.

[raising rednecks]

one of my friends texted earlier. He was working with the drums for the BP show tonight. He'll be hanging backstage for it. It's not all good. He had to work the jonas bros last night

[NicoleErin]

I'm still recovering from last night and I hardly had anything to drink! SO SO SO much fun! I loved every single act/artist (all 6 of them!)

[caligirlUCR]

OMG this was sooooo amazing!!!! We ended up with Center Orchestra Row B!!!!! and when we got to our seats they gave us wristbands that allowed us to be stageside!!! I litterally had to look up at Brad when he was right in front of me. He is very tall from that angle :0) It was an amazing night!!!! So glad everyone had soo much fun!! Oh and I ended up with guitar picks from every artist - execpt Josh Thompson (but he only threw out one) and a drum stick from Brads drummer!! Such an amazing experience!!!

[Chevgirl357]

This was SOOOOO much fun! I had a lawn ticket and ended up hanging out with onebadcountryboy and his wife Shellie and their friends. I'm glad I've seen the 3 artists on the main stage up close in the past because I couldn't see anything from the lawn. However, I had an AMAZING time just dancing my butt off to the music and drinking my weight in liquor. UncleFeiny tried to pimp me out to a teenage boy at the end, lol. I also got guitar picks from Steel Magnolia and Brad (thanks to UncleFeiny on the Brad pick!). Thank you thank you Jennifer again for the ticket. I am soooo glad I went. Oh, and we were the only 2 cars in the parking lot almost the entire time, joined at the other end by 4 other cars, but other than that it was COMPLETELY empty. So the time thing didn't end up being an issue!

[IheartMillerLite]

I'm sure this was an amazing concert! Sounds like I missed out on a great show! Pictures please!

[WestCoastLady]

We had an amazing time at the concert - WCK was soooo lucky to get such a great experience at age 12! WCG gets the big "boooo" for showing up so late, but at least he finally made it!

I have about 400 pictures from the concert (I took 3 cameras and we killed the batteries on two of them) and I'm still trying to sort through and get the few truly great shots....hopefully I'll get some put up today (if I can figure out how to do it :) anyone want to give me a cheat sheet for uploading pix???)

[deegee83]

y'all should know that WCLady rocked at beer pong

[WestCoastLady]

y'all should know that WCLady rocked at beer pong

Yeeehaaaa! And WCK rocked at non-alcoholic jello shots! And in being our official Beer Pong Photographer...

(sigh) I am no longer a Beer Pong Virgin.....

Shirley was a great partner (so was deegee), we all kicked some Uncle Feiny and CaligirlUCR butt! :D

[NicoleErin]

I did a great job at watching!

[caligirlUCR]

Ohh wow we lose one game . . .

[Chevgirl357]

Shut your mouth, you have a picture of your hat being signed, don't you? My Vegas SD card is just at home, that's the problem here! I offered for you to copy it at deegee's. Who's the slacker now?

I understand, you probably don't make it home that often.

[Chevgirl357]

I understand, you probably don't make it home that often.

Maybe a couple times a week. But I don't have anything to upload it there and don't remember to bring it to work.

[IheartMillerLite]

That's okay. I think she still has pictures from ZBB in March to upload for me. =)
