dallas, july 2009
 

heading to the dallas, tx show in mid-july at house of blues. any thoughts on the foundation room?

Dude.. just hold out for acl

i'm going to that show too, since i live in fort worth :)
what's the foundation room?

fuck ACL. super expensive.

Well its the day before my birthday so I'm getting my parents to get me aone day pass as my b-day present.
Then we're gonna take a college day that monday (the sy show is on the last sunday) and visit ut and spend my birthday hanging out in austin

that's the way to do it man! have a great time and take photos

I'm going to this show because I too live in Fort Worth, and I'm DYING for it. (First Yoof concert!) I may catch them again in ACL as well, because I'll be going to UT at that point.

We should all meet up!

Does anyone know who will be opening up for SY?

Awesome Color.

ugh, awesome color again? they were terrible. i am down for meeting fellow boardies at the show though.

Meet up! I think we'll be getting there really early because I have to drop off my parents' van at love field around 3, and the concert doesn't start til 8.

Haha thanks man, will do.
Yeah on the day of my 16th birthday I got to go see them at stubb's which kicked ass.

I was at that stubbs show

dallas is too far to go after my roadtrip though!

Oh haha were you at the front?
Haha me and my best friend got to drive up there and we had a blast.
Sucky part: BY the end of the sow I was dehydrated (we got there early, stood in line, saw the meat puppets. long ass turn around time, band comes on, moshing...) so I puked at the end of teenage riot and we had to go.
Wouldn't have tradedf it for the world though

So where are good places to go out in Dallas, post-SY?

no where. come to fort worth afterwards instead :)

LOL, Fort Worth is terrible compared to Dallas. Actually, pretty much everywhere in Texas save for Austin is the suck.

Places in Dallas
 

Find a place called the Elbow Room. They have a kitchen that stays open until close. The drinks are cheap too. You will need a cheap place to go after HOB. That place is so overpriced. I won't be going to see SY, but I'll meet you at the Elbow Room and you can tell me how great the show was.
I just can't support any corporately owned venues. Seems like an oxy-moron to me.

you are sadly mistaken sir. dallas is an overpriced pit. only reason i ever go there is to go to shows. and there's plenty of cool places in texas besides austin... fort worth, denton, abilene, corpus christi. the list goes on and on

Ah man, I'm so excited! I'm going to be dog tired because I've been run ragged for the past two weeks.

See ya there!! Getting damn excited for this myself. Coming down from OKC, and prolly heading back that night right after the show. Then gonna sleep all day and get well rested for Tulsa that next night.

Now if only I can talk some buds of mine into trekking to St. Louis that next morning. One can only hope...

For what it's worth I want to express my disappointment on the ticket purchase for this Dallas HOB 2009 show. I purchased my tickets during the presale and was charged full price. This week the tickets are $5 a piece for GA from livenation or ticketmaster. There are first row seats available for the balcony and first row box seats, both which were not available during the presale. I am feeling "rather ripped".

I'll be hanging out near the soundboard area. I'll be the guy with horn-rimmed glasses and a red t-shirt with cassette tapes printed on it.

Had a blast.

Will be in attendance, Sunday night, ACL.

Some pics of Thurston and Kim waking around outside before the show:




I wish I'd gotten out of line to go talk to them, but I would have been too embarassed.
