Atlanta

[nitejule]

I know there is another thread like this but i wanted to start one up here so that when we do get some info it can be posted in the tour section!!

they did have it on their sched and then it was removed. i have noticed that after they do some other dates over seas they have a NJ date so maybe that means they will add more dates!!

i just hope that they come to ATL b/c if not i won't be seeing them anytime soon!!

[grigalunas]

As mentioned in the other thread, I think that NC will have to go through either NY or ATL to get to and from Europe. So there is a pretty good chance of them stopping in and playing. I hope they do too b/c last year my parents wouldn't let me go and see them, it was a school night:( , and my girlfriend said it was an awesome show.

[nitejule]

yeah i didn't get to go to that show either but i saw them the week before so that was ok!! and their shows are just amazing so i hope that they do stop by. hee hee!!!!

[grigalunas]

So does anyone know who we can ask if they're coming? It's getting close to when they were suppose to come...

[Goose_17]

thx for starting this post up again...i really want to see them here in the atl. and take my dad. i am going to the birmingham show on the 30th of sept. and there is a show on the 1st of oct. in charolette so maybe you could drive up there jule? or not..but yeah..lets keep the info going if they are coming here to atlanta. we love them down here. maybe if we all write them emails asking really nicely and saying please a lot.....who knows?anyhow..

chris <><

anyone else from here going on sept 30th? i'd love to meet some more creekgeeks like me.

[nitejule]

i know i would be going to that charlotte show but i don't get home until the 1st from oklahoma and theres not way i would make it in time for the show :( it doesn't look like i will be seeing them for a while :( i will just have to have the CD for now. but i am workin on making a new site so that makes me feel a little better!!! yaya!!! heehee

[shygirl32]

i have begun to curse the tabernacle. everytime i hear promo. for it on the radio i have to flick off the radio or something. i have to get my fix though, so i'll be in birmingham on the 30th! :) i just hope they come to ATL too. you can never have too much creek!

[Goose_17]

hey shy, where are your seats at? i'm on the floor, left side, row k, seat 22..yeah..i'm coming all by myself again. i can never find anyone to go with me....oh well. maybe we can actually meet the band this time as opposed to the ryman which doesn't really allow that....

chris <><

[shygirl32]

i'm floor, left side i think? row e. i actully met them in nashville. not at the ryman, but at the tower show & mwl taping. but maybe they'll come out after the show in birmingham. that'd be cool. i'm going with 2 of my friends, but i'm sitting alone so that i could have a better seat :) so if ya get lonely back there on row k, you can come find me!

[Goose_17]

yeah you bet i'll come running up if you got an extra seat...row e? geez..when did you get your tickets...and i almos know for certain through ticketmaster b/c i didn't see any other way to...i called the night they were released and the best i could get (supposedly) on the left was row k....but anywho...i'll write you more what i'll be wearing so you can id me...i think i'm gonna try and make that nc..not just a state anymore t-shirt...

chris <><

[shygirl32]

haha, CA-YUTE! nc.. it's not just a state anymore bwahahaha! that's so fun! :-D

[NCFreak]

Yeah...this has nothing to do w/ NC, but EVERYTHING to due w/ .info members. So...

I should've read this thread earlier. <hiphop>Y'all up in here representin' the ATL?!?</hiphop> Schweet!! I was born in Atlanta. Bad thing is, we left when I was 7 years old. We lived at Sandy Ln & Pinehill Dr. in Decatur. We left cause my mom got homesick and my parents drug my bother and I back to Omaha w/ them.

My point for writing...

Starting this year, I come to Atlanta every year. I was down there for a week in January. DAMN it was warm down there. My next trip won't be until next summer. The plan is to combine my annual Atlanta trip w/ next years 240SX Car Club of America convention. Anyway, I say we hook up, hang out and get down w/ our bad selves. An ATL Nickel Creek meet of .info members. What would be awesome is if the 'Creek would have a show down there the same week. That would kick hella bootie!!

[shygirl32]

haha yeah man! that would KICK! :) we tend to get a little crazy down here in the south. ;) haha. you know how we do it! that really would be cool though. to be able to talk about nickel creek and not have people go nickel who? nickel BACK? ugh. i hate that!. *lol* anyways. yes. we should do that.

And got back this:
we're moving it. keep checking back



I'm excited now!

[Kat]

[wowOwow] Ok everybody, I've got news on the Tabernacle show in Atlanta! If you check out pollstar.com, NC is listed to play at the Tabernacle on Oct. 11 (that's a Fri.). It says it's a new update, and it's not listed on the official NC page yet, but we can all keep our fingers crossed. Usually pollstar is generally reliable...check it out! [run] Yippeeee!!!!!!!!!! [noise]

Cheers,
~KT~

[grigalunas]

Yah!!!!! ::crosses-fingers::

[Chip]

I would be more inclined to trust info on nickelcreek.com than info in Pollstar.

The info in Pollstar is not infrequently wrong, incomplete, or out of date... they do a better job than anybody else does considering they are dealing with hundreds of artists, but they're constantly trying to keep up on the routings for hundreds of artists, and there's no way that anyone can do that accurately. I've also seen Pollstar include pencil dates that are an agent's wishful thinking, and not include inked dates that have been on the booking agency's roster for weeks.

Nickelcreek.com's information comes directly from the band's management, who has the final say over which shows are accepted. Their management and webmaster are very good about updating info as soon as it's available, so what we fans know is pretty much what management knows, almost as soon as they know it.

Even if the booking agency has specific information, they usually won't give it out without talking to management, and management makes sure it's posted as soon as it's available, so it's mostly pointless to try to get advance information, because there generally isn't any.

So, in other words, be patient.

As for the notion of doing a show in a gateway city that is on the way to or from Europe? Not to disappoint, but that's pretty unlikely. The logistics of Nickel Creek's show these days is a lot more complex than doing a show because they happen to be traveling to an airport nearby. Not that it's impossible, just that the strategy that goes into touring is a lot more complex than what might be apparent at first glance. But I'm sure if you're patient that the tour will eventually get around to just about every major city, at least in the US.

[Goose_17]

bubble popped....boat sank...panties in a wad...milk going sour after spilt on the floor and crying....hehe thats what chip was trying to avoid so we didnt get our hopes up..thx chip...but fingers are still crossed...i'll take any date..as long as there is a date!

mañana...birmingham!! woo..and i got my shirt!!

chris <><

[webma'am@nickelcreek]

The Atlanta date is back on the calendar--November 14 at the Tabernacle!

Be there or be square!

:D

[nitejule]

WOO WOOO WOOOOO HEEHHEHEHE OK SO I AM HAPPY NOW!!

[grigalunas]

I wish they'd put tickets for sale on ticketmaster.com now...hm...how long do you think it'll take them to list the show?

[nitejule]

i would think maybe next week. the usually sell them a month in advance

[Mostlydead]

Tickets for that show go on sale at 10am on October 12th. I heard that all shows at Tabernacle is general admission I hear. That was what the phone said. See you all there, especially NiteJule and shygirl32(our 3rd show together).

[nitejule]

i hope so!!! i need to find a ride to the show. bummer huh :( i soooo wanna go!!!! i guess i am just gonna have to wait and see what happens if i miss this show its gonna make me so sad :(

[shygirl32]

you BEST find a ride christy!!! if you don't i'm gonna have to drive up there and kick your butt!!... after the show of course! ;)

[nitejule]

heehee i would let you kick my butt too!!!!! well if all else fails i will be sittin at home....that is unless one of you wanna come get me!! heehee i have a car but its well kinda not it good shape, lol and i hate the highway plus i don't know where the place is i haven't exactly had my license for a long time either, lol

[Danisse]

Is it Nov. 14 yet? No? Dern!

[nitejule]

is there anyone out there that would like to roadtrip to this atl show?? as it stands right now i can't go because i have no one to go with :( so i am bummed. i just thought that i would come here and ask to see if there was anyone here that would like to go and/or give/let me ride with them :) heehee ok well i am gonna go cry in the meantime :-/ looks like i am gonna miss this show :( :(

[grigalunas]

[nitejule]

yayyayayayaay!!!!!!

[warlord]

I'll be at the Tabernackle tonight, but some collegues were wondering if there were still tix. Ticketmaster doesn't have any, but maybe there are some at the door?

Me, I'm looking forward to tonight. :)

[StrumminAlong]

JUST got back from the Tabernacle, and all I have to say is WOW. that was my first time seeing Nickel Creek...what an experience. I must say my favorite moment was during The Fox when they broke into bluegrass Mario, that was incredible! :) what about you guys??

*mimi*:-)) :-)) :-))

[grigalunas]

yes...the only word to describe it is WOW!!! or as NC would say it CRAP!! YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! the atmosphere was incredible. we were louder than the runways at hartsfield airport!! when chris said some of us needed to go on tour to jumpstart the crowds i wanted to scream out, STAY IN ATLANTA!!! My girlfriend actually took me to the show. She went to the one at the variety playhouse last year and she said they played the mario thing there too. I just loved it! Only other band i've heard do that is Group X...and NC does it wayyyyyyy better! We were standing in the front right next to the speakers near sara. It was great!!!!! Wow, i've said that too many times tonight.

~Alex

[nitejule]

i have to agree the show was just beyond awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the crowd tonight was by far the best one that i have had the pleasure of being a part of!! was the acoustic encore the best or what you guys!!! it was fantastic!!!

I NEED A SET LIST PEOPLE!!!! LOL

i will write a review tomorrow right now i am too darn tired!!! it has been one busy fun great day!!!!! it was great to finally meet some of you guys as well!! jenn sorry i didn't get to talk to you too much!!! i promise to see you more next time!!!

talk to all of you again soon!!!!

[shygirl32]

don't worry christy, sam wote down the set list, he may have it posted today, maybe after he gets back from st. louis.

[warlord]

I have to agree, the show was excellent, certainly the most pumped crowd of just about any NC concert I've seen. The gang were in perfect form, and having a great time at it. When I talked with them after the show they said that they've had a lot of time off in between their touring.

I didn't keep a complete set list, but I remember that it started with Smoothie Song, Beauty and the Mess, Lighthouse, Ferdinand the Bull, and then their introductions.

Too bad there isn't a .info cheer -- I would have liked to meet a bunch of you guys. Me, I was standing about 3 feet from the stage in front of Sara.

-derek

[mmt]

Yep... the show was fantastic! And the crowd was SO loud! I was in front of Sean -- a few feet to the right of where most of the .info contigent was standing (from what I could tell). Great to meet Sam (mostlydead) and Marie (J. Marie Hall -- I put 2 and 2 together when I got home that that's who you are!). And good to put faces with the screennames of others, even without the chance to meet them. (I was watching from afar!!) I think I saw nitejule and warlord, based on your pics on your websites, and Sam pointed out Goose to me!

And I'm quite pooped this morning... but, off to work I go!

Miriam

[jaceyhomen]

All of you happy .info concert goers should have a way of finding each other (assuming you want to be found....).

Derek mentioned a cheer? I am too duh to know how that would work. Maybe everybody could wear a bright red baseball cap with NC on it? Or pin huge buttons on that say .info?

I wouldn't need to do any of that. You'd know me as that cute little old broad standing almost on stage singing her little heart out. And you'd say, oh look, that must be someone's granny!

Jacey

[sap2257]

Hey. The concert was AWESOME!! I was standing right in front of Sean, and I mean right in front of him :rolleyes: I was looking up the whole time! He was so awesome. I was standing right next to you NiteJules, I was the one with really curly hair, oh yeah by the way what is the address to your new NC site? Anyways back to the concert. They are so awesome and down to earth. I thought it was funny how they got a little embarassed by all of our screaming, it's like they were shocked it was actually for them. I was so happy I got to meet all of them especially Sean, he is so HOT!! I definitly can't wait until they come back to Atlanta. I think the best part of the concert was the acoustic part at the end and the sing along to Spit on a Stranger And I agree the part where they played the Mario theme song was so great. I'm still in shock of how amazing they were! Have an awesome day!
-Sarah

[littlevenice143]

Yeah...it was my third show last night and it was definitely my favorite. I talked to Sara for a second before the show. I am glad of that because everytime I leave a show without meeting the band I feel like I have totally missed out on something. I was standing with my boyfriend (grigalunas) on the complete left side of the stage (leaning on it :) ) right next to the speakers. (There were no other people to our left at the stage). Anyhow, my bf said that I said they played the mario brothers theme at the variety playhouse show but I need to make a correction, from what I remember it wasn't there it was at the Johnson City show that I went to. Sorry that may be insignificant but it would have bothered me forever (at least I don't think they played it at the variety playhouse??) Anyhow, it was no less than AWESOME last night!

[Bubbles]

I was there last night, too! It was most definetly an awesome show. I was standing near the drunk guys that kept yelling things... about 4 people were separating us. I about lept over them and attacked the drunk guys, and I'm a pacifist. I was standing near Sean, probably about 5 rows of people back, as we couldn't find the Tabernacle for the life of us. We had bad interent directions.

I was so glad that they performed Let it Fall. My dad took me last night, and he agrees with me that it was an awesome concert. My favorite part was the sing along part, even if my nose was armpit level with the really tall guys in front of me. Singing along to Nickel Creek songs... if we had been around a campfire, I would have been perfectly content.

Anywho, just thought I'd add in my 2 cents about the concert. It was my first time seeing Nickel Creek, as the other 2 opportunities I've had to see them when they came to Chattanooga, I was out of the country on missions trips. But it was well worth the wait. It's the best concert I've ever been to.

[J. Marie Hall]

i've been jostling myself around sort of sleepily today, but i think i tote with me a bit of the energy from last night. wow! i tried to pick up my jaw (that fell periodically), but i mostly stood there happily mesmerized (sp?).

nirvana. radiohead. crowded house in the houuuuse. digging the variety over here.

tax maaaaaan!

i got the most lost in house carpenter though. strange blend of warm once in a while by sean on the guitar after some verses. i dunno technically what he did. can you help me out stringsies?

so _you're_ mmt. we've emailed a little before if i recall. about dear flannery? i haven't been around this list in a while so i wasn't prepared to guess who might be who :) i might be coming down to your neck of the woods pretty soon. i just found out that another dear friend is doing some grad work there now. the world keeps getting smaller.

I am a Monty Python fan, but I believe mostly dead comes from the classic The Princess Bride... hmm...

[J. Marie Hall]

i stand happily corrected. i guess i thought back to the beginning of holy grail with the bring out your dead scene. i haven't seen princess bride in quite a while (or the holy grail!)--looks like i need to pull out ye old videos!

[sap2257]

Is it just me or does anyone else go through Nickel Creek withdraw after seeing them in concert?[sob] I want to see them again!!
Sarah

[nitejule]

yes i know how ya feel. this was my 4th show this year. i saw them live for the first time this year as well. and i can't wait for my next show, lol. its like it always takes forever for you to get to see them again!

[sap2257]

Hey nitejule. I was the girl next to you at the concert. The one with really curly brown hair, we talked some about your web site. You're so lucky to have been to 4 of their concerts. What is your new sites address, all I can find is the old one. Anyways, I can't wait until I will be able to go to another concert, but I'm afraid it will have to be the next time they come to Atlanta! :( Sean was AWESOME!! He's so hot! If anyone wants to talk to me about Nickel Creek or anything IM me on AOL my name is sap2257
