And so we lose another...

You better! If not, I could kick your butt. I just took my strength test at the gym and shocked myself! Watch out!

As I mentioned earlier, I went to the gym twice this week, plus I've got my famous stare of intimidation. I'm a certified badass. I'm bringing a kiddie pool, I could also bring some jello if you think you've got what it takes to step in the ring.

Go Country is putting on a free pre-stagecoach concert Friday at 7pm, first come first served with Easton Corbin, Steel Magnolia, and someone else who I have forgotten at the moment.

Thanks for the info... I went to their website after you mentioned Go Country. That radio station is out of the area for us. I have not heard anyone in this area advertise this concert. Is this going to be an indoor concert? Thanks again!

[unclefeiny]

My guess would be indoor

[TheMommie]

The Go Country thing is at Morongo Casino in Cabazon about 25 miles from the venue.

its closer to 35ish miles but really it only takes about 30 minutes trip

[KAREN N ROBBIE]

I've never seen Sugarland so that's a tough one for me, but how many more chances will I have to see Merle?

I BELIEVE I HAVE HEARD THAT MERLE HAS BEEN ILL......THIS IS JUST FYI TO HELP MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

MERLE, MERLE AND MORE MERLE!!!!

Yeah, but thats once you are actually on the 15. its another 10-15 to the festival...not counting getting in/out of the festival parking lot.

oh that would be soooo awful if Merle were ill and either missed SC or didn't feel top of the world for the show. where did you hear that he was ill? Did they say he was too ill to perform this weekend?

[TheMommie]

Yeah, but thats once you are actually on the 15. its another 10-15 to the festival...not counting getting in/out of the festival parking lot.

Some of us were talking about going after jackalope, I guess cuz I lived right by Morongo Casino it just feels like nothing to me.

WTF! I'm so sick of this. I was really looking forward to Gary Allan and then he disappeared. Then I saw Mallory Hope in San Francisco in December and was psyched to see her as well. I even talked to her personally while she was on stage and she seemed jazzed about it as well. Now Easton Corbin is MIA? This makes no sense. I purchased the $500 tickets and live over 9 hours away. I'm so not happy w/ this. I heard how great stage coach is but it seems to be nothing but a waste of a true country fans time and money. I mean I'm paying $500 per ticket, camping fees (thank god I'm camping I'd be even more angry if I was staying at a hotel), and that's not even counting gas. NOT TO MENTION that I called to change my address and was told that it would be ok and that my tickets hadn't been shipped yet. Come to find out the tickets were shipped TWO weeks before w/o signature required. Friends of mine had their tickets dropped at their apartment complex and could have been stolen. That's a lot of money on the line.
For all you true country fans that are just as frustrated with the line up changes and the total lack of transparency from Stagecoach I suggest checking out Country Throwdown. Its only 1 day but is way cheaper!!! Here is the line up: Montgomery Gentry, Jamie Johnson (didn't he also disappear from the Stagecoach lineup as well?), Little Big Town, Jack Ingram, The Eli Young Band, Eric Church, Heidi Newfield, The Lost Trailers, Emily West (already there is more big time artists in 1 day than at all of Stagecoaches 2 days) Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses, and Johnathan Singleton & the Grove. This is such a better deal and they haven't changed the line up once for a quarter of the cost (general admissions is only $21)!!!
Stagecoach just seems to be a joke.

Where and when $21. I can afford that I think.

[dccarmack]

The $21 is for Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountainview, CA (thats in Nor Cal), but there are other dates.

I'm throwing a concert, uh, I mean "festival" in my back yard this weekend....Line up includes everybody who's ever had a Top 20 hit on the Billboard charts....tickets are available at my website www.youreasucker.com and are only $500 each CASH ONLY.....oh and you can't bring anything into the venue, that's ANYTHING.....chairs, blankets, umbrellas, water, soda, alcohol, clothes, etc.....all women will be given cavity searches and all men will be fondled by a large, sexually ambiguous baboon named Pat....Line-up subject to change, but that's okay because it's a "festival".....

I love your comments and so agree! I really hope that you're at least in the seats next to us at this!

[IheartMillerLite]

I paid $47 for Country Throwdown in Irvine. I'm super excited for that one!

[father3mykids]

I just dropped a small fortune to camp at EDII and attend the festival. It is refreshing to hear how bad this is going to suck and how boned I just got. Great.......

[deegee83]

^he said BONED ^

!!!

[IheartMillerLite]

Um you have the wrong attitude. The whole weekend from camping, to partying, to seeing the acts that ARE there is worth it. At least in my opinion. You might want to sell your tickets and camping pass if you're already thinking it's gonna suck.

[Miss B]

^he said BONED ^

!!!

haha i was waiting for someone to point that out

[deegee83]

....It's what I do.
