Cleveland 9/6 roll call thread

[YoungJRNY]

Hire a hitman. Bing Bam Boom. Easy. Your only option.

EDIT: only if the hitman is me.

EDIT EDIT: ..screw your roommate? That'll get her out.

I heart you.

EDIT: I'll fly you to Chicago.

EDIT EDIT: He's shorter than me. Instant "never gonna happen".

I know.

EDIT: Can I wear My Steelers' gear?

EDIT EDIT: You're right. I'll take his place and we'll call it even.

Um wow.

EDIT: As if you'd wear anything else?

EDIT EDIT: ...Don't think your girlfriend would appreciate that.

Hmm..

EDIT: Yeah. You're Right.

EDIT EDIT: Yeah, You're Right.

Paging Ms. Gayleness...I think I have your answer

That's how it was in Buffalo when we went last year. There was only one country road in and out and it was bumper to bumper for a couple of hours to the interstate. I expect this may be like that looking at maps. We are not in the big city there, I can tell I think being in downtown Cleveland that day is a bad idea. I think that Friday is better for that.

On my way to South Bend, I got caught in the morning rush north of Akron/Canton on Rt. 8 going from 77 to the Turnpike... that was sheer hell. Retarded-ass roads. I thought I was on an interstate spur... but there was a stoplight, so I'm like wth? Anyhow... long story short... Ohio is weird.

(...but you Ohioans are nice! ...horrible drivers, but nice!)

And those aren't even big cities. Ohio is weird. PA is better

Also, for first-time Blossom goers, for the love of god do not wait until the encore is over. You will be stuck in reverse in the same spot for at least an hour, probably longer. All will to party after-show will be gone by the time you get out. If you leave while encore is starting, you can still hear on your way out and get out quick.

What the hell and where the hell is Blossom? I thought I read the venue was in Cuyahoga Falls. I've been to OH once in my life and it was 16 years ago. Just tell me where the fun people are staying and we'll plant ourselves there or nearby.

For the most part, as long as you get out of the venue itself unscathed you're in great shape. So it shouldn't be bad like that unless you get caught at the venue, in which case you're fucked even if there were a 20 lane highway waiting for you after you get out of the lots at Blossom.

Blossom Music Center, the venue

And yes, it's in Cuyahoga Falls

And the answer is??????? You know what it better be!!!

The only thing I can say is... I'll make it up to you!!!!

[bluejeangirl76]

Alllllrighty then, thank you.
I could have looked it up but... I didn't.

I just assumed whatever venue is there would be named "Tidy Cat Stadium" or "Tampax Amphitheater" (Tampaxitheater?) or some ridiculous thing like all the rest of them.

[Rip Rokken]

BTW bring a guitar and I will play Dokken all night long!

I learned how to play listening to Dokken and Journey mostly...

Oh, you done it now... I could probably buy a guitar there cheaper than it would cost to check mine in both ways, but if YOU bring one and play, I'll sing all the Dokken they can take! This trip keeps getting sweeter by the hour.... haha!

[ProgRocker53]

No, I'm not bringing my bass, because I can barely play it.

[Rip Rokken]

Tito, if you don't go you're a big pussy.

And, "If you don't want to sing along with Dokken, you are a f*%&in' Pu$$y!"

[SacredEyes]

I've got until 10:30pm to make the decision . . . . . Working on logistics of it all!

^^That is the spell of the Cleveland folk working against you. It's not too late. Jump aboard.. RIP was our other victim. Prog looks like he's in. Here's a pen.. sign on the dotted line

Would love to go but committed to coach varsity cheerleaders. That friday night is our first game. According to "a wise soul", it would be a waste to fly up saturday then return the next day. Too much to miss out on.

I expect lots of phone dials . . . . . . . .

You forgot that you told the "wise soul" that you were NOT going to attend the concert that Saturday night. If you were going to attend the concert, then it would be worth your time.

I could get my "beauty" rest then be ready to go afterwards. I know long way to go for sleeping . . . . . one never knows. I figure the red carpet will lay itself out if it is meant to be.

I vote for beauty rest on the plane and party/concert/party and sleeping in on Sunday And by the way, when have our trips ever included beauty rest anyway

It's that internal struggle . . . . spent a lot of energies getting this cheer squad up to speed. First game and all. I may be too fritzed (12 HS girls). Need I say more? The other half of that struggle is to spend time with my bud-roh's! I will continue to hang and see how it pans out.

[bluejeangirl76]

I just recently received word of yet another attendee, but I'll let her tell it if she wants to.

Point being, this is going to be huge. The numbers are growing.

I think I need to revert to a cute avatar again.
Mine could be scaring children.

Excellent. I'll just fall in line with the crowd. Can someone post the street address or something for me so I know I find the right one when I search? Not that there can be that many Holiday Inns in Bumblefuck, OH - but I like to be detailed.

[Rhiannon]
