Ah, yes, lwj, I had my eye on that show when it was announced months ago. I passed, wondering if our Bearcats would be playing a Bowl Game this year. I think we won’t be making the trip to Miami with Saturday’s loss to Rutgers.
Remainder of line up announced.
Shawn Colvin, Shelby Lynn, Steve Earle – going to be a good one, kids.

Yup. Although is that why he won’t join? I thought it was because he is a Luddite.
P.S. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
Curmudgeon. His words. 😕
It’s on like Donkey Kong…or some such nonsense.
I’ve booked room and flight along with purchasing a ticket. NYC, here I come!
This trip would not have been feasible had it not been for FF miles and hotel room points. Good grief, I was in sticker shock but surprisingly was able to book using minimum points and miles.
Room (near venue) in Times Square <—AWESOME – Price $449 but booked using 25,000 points (a steal using points).
Flight – Price $904 <— WTF [happy I was sitting] – Booked for 25,000 FF miles <—This has to be the BEST points for the money flight I have ever booked.
Then, I found a ticket, specially priced for Chase card holders thru a presale, and decided to splurge. If I’m looking at chart correctly, my seat is in the 7th row off to right hand side, and cost a little less than half of what tickets through regular sale are being sold. I bought ticket insurance for an additional $7 thinking surely with all the luck I had booking this trip, something will go terribly wrong.
Stoger and West Words, (and anyone else), your horseman friend will be in the Big Apple. We must meet up preshow!

I also noticed they post links to presales on their Facebook page (Stoger?), so I ‘liked” their page so that I would be so notified.
I believe curmudgeon will always be Stoger’s middle name. Speaking of which, I found out one of my son’s teachers refers to him as such. I couldn’t help but think, hearing this from from my son’s friends, he was in good company with my Lu buds.

I’m sure everyone is dying to know how I got a ticket to this show so soon. As Paul pointed out, one gets on the VIP email list at the Belly Up website to be sent links to presales. The presale was yesterday. I have still not received the link. I also noticed they post links to presales on their Facebook page (Stoger?), so I ‘liked” their page so that I would be so notified. Naturally, nothing has been posted there yet.
Diabolically, I followed the Snoop Dog presale link from their Facebook page yesterday late morning and magically entered presale land. There was a calendar there so I changed the date to January 9 and “voila”, I was at the Lu presale page and I bought a ticket. I have a ticket in hand so this must be legitimate. Maybe the ticket police will arrest me when I arrive. I am also not sure if “voila” should be in quotes above. I didn’t actually say that.
Carry on.
Dastardly. I love it.
Great summary of the Mellencamp/King musical with an Elvis Costello track from the upcoming CD release of the musical “Ghost Brothers of Darkland County” next March.

Thanks for the definitive schedule, TO. Greed compels me to wish there had been more shows in the SE, but I will be more than happy with the one show I do have within driving distance (I do not care for outdoor “festivals” – from a fan’s perspective, they are usually too much expense and effort for only a short set). So, Birmingham on the 23rd it is! 😀
For those other FF members entertaining a visit to Birmingham: “Stephens PAC” is the Alys Robinson Stephens Performing Arts Center, located on the campus of University of Alabama Birmingham. From the “Directions and Parking” page on their Web site:
The Alys Stephens Center is located at 1200 10th Avenue South, Birmingham, on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Parking is free and convenient.
The show is not yet listed on their calendar or on their list of “tickets available” events. Let the waiting, planning & anticipation begin! 😉
