…and not to derail the thread, however, lest I forget, I’m familiar with the Family Wash, only by billing. My guy, Mike Younger, has played there a time or two, and still does every now and then.
I hope Anne pulled in some tip money??

I’ll try not to derail this thread too much, but I just saw on facebook Eilen Jewell and Amy Lavere are now ‘friends.’ [little shout out to stoger]
I wish I was going to Austin and then head to Knoxville for Amos. I couldn’t do both so I chose the closer locale. Fingers crossed I can get my Lu fix sometime in 2012.

I’ll be there if they need me.
Don’t forget the “Lucinda Willams and company” sign, part of the chauffeur shtick, as you await their arrival.
Tnt ~ “The Shape” from “Ghost Brothers,” aka Jake La Botz, is a blues musician and is FB friends with Lucinda and Greg Garing. Interesting back story.

lwj – I went for the unlicensed VIP at 69.99. Drinking at concerts are not a priority for me [tonyg and stoger just hit the floor]. I almost forgot about the ticket sale, remembered around 11:30 and purchased using my phone on the drive home from HOTlanta. I sure do love technology! I would like to get the room booked. Is the bed and breakfast still on your radar?
WOW is my sentiment, too, TNT, on “Ghost Brothers of Darkland County.” I’m so happy you and Sarah joined the Mellenheads. Absolutely fantastic! The set, the music, the cast and crew. Really well done. A project spanning 12 years finally came to fruition for JM and Stephen King and it exceeded my expectations. I want to see it again and can’t wait until the story/music comes out on CD.
With it being the first night of preview week, all the major players were there, including JM with Meg Ryan, Stephen King, & TBone Burnett.
All in all, I saw each one of them, even running into Meg in the hallway outside of the bathroom. She was just ambling around, by herself. After the play, I told her how fantastic the show was. She called me sweetie as I approached her. 🙂 I saw TBone during intermission, and Stephen King was seated close enough that we were turning around gawking, and he also was in the lobby after the show. Fun night. JM showed up right before they kicked us out of the lobby. I groveled for a photo op, he complied. Oh, and I had to laugh when I told him the play was excellent and he replied by telling me we (mellenheads) all think anything he does is excellent.
Ooops…should have clarified, tnt. The presale starts on Thursday. After taking a look at the website again, it looks like VIP is a general admission type ticket but limited in quantity. I’m going to try to score using my phone, that is providing I’ve hit the pavement before the sale begins. It’s all dependent on how long we burn the midnight oil tomorrow evening. 😀 So, yes, I will be there by 5:00 p.m.!
Pre-sale for VIP and regular tickets for Sarnia, lwj. Unfortunately, I will be in Atlanta. I guess I’m not leaving until 10:00 a.m. and I hope I can get on business computer to buy my ticket. Two VIP areas, one including alchohol sales. Wheeeee!

I’ll go for the ultra VIP if it is $99.
