Matador Anniversary Show

My wife told me I "should" go. She will be 8 months pregnant at the time.


I think it's a trap.

It is!

We had our first baby in January. In 2009, I could have easily gone to this. In 2010, all I can do is sniffle and gaze out the window wistfully. So I suggest you take her up on the offer and suffer the consequences of her trap.

^^^This is exactly what happened to me; to the month even. I will see you there. . . unless it's a trap. And congratulations.

Fools, it is a trap!

"MORE BANDS. OK, we’re working on it. But in addition to the 19 artists confirmed on the above poster, we can confirm the original lineup of COME — Thalia Zedek, Chris Brokaw, Sean O’Brien and Arthur Johnson — will be participating. Actually, we already know who some of the other bands are, we’re just trying to drag this out.  MORE MATABLOG CONTENT between now and October!"

200 bucks is a steal! I'm going to try my darnedest to get tickets.

Any predictions on how fast this thing's gonna sell out?

[tenni]

Am definitely considering getting tickets this Friday. MUST GO.

[Big Plastic Head]

If at least two of my friends email me back by tomorrow saying they are going, I am falling for the trap and am going to try to get tickets.

[Jouster]

Pollard is now saying the reunited GBV will tour, so if anyone besides myself was thinking of going just for them... Well, it's probably not necessary.

[Chris L]

Pro:
Stellar line-up

Con:
Having to purchase tickets and hotel reservations simultaneously

Pro:
Cheap bargain on room

Con:
I've never had any desire to go to Vegas.

I'm torn.

[yesno]

Vegas really is a deathly boring city.  It is, however, a great venue for hosting events.  Everything is really cheap.

And how about: 

Con -- I get sick of listening to music after a while

I think I would get exhausted trying to listen to three days of awesome bands.

I'm glad GBV is touring again, but what the hell.  Why can't bands just stay broken up anymore?  But yeah, seeing them was about the only thing that was really compelling--all the other bands I might have a chance to see coming through town.

[Kid Pain]

so sometimes FOT forumer kittykittymeowmixhead and I are IN. However, I goofed and initially selected a quantity of TWO of a 2 person package with hotel. So a 1600 charge that's actually 4 people. When I refreshed, the Palms options were gone. But I did manage the weekend pass only with no palms rooms.


Are there any FOT who are going as a pair who got a palms room? The palms rooms have two beds and I'd be interested in splittng the cost of the room.

[ScottP]

Congrats Kid Pain!

I tried, I failed. Thumbs down...

[Matt]

Yeah, trying to get tickets was pretty brutal. I nearly cried more than once. I was lucky enough to get a Weekend Pass, so no complaints here. I hope everyone else who wanted tickets got lucky like I did.

Kid Pain - you might want to look into getting a room at the Gold Coast, across the street. I was able to book a room for that weekend for around $240 (which, paired with the ticket, is actually cheaper than the package deal Matador was offering).

[buffcoat]

Las Vegas is the most fantastically American city there is.  If you can't enjoy it, either ironically or in reality, you aren't trying hard enough.

You damn hipsters.
