Damn, damn, damn. I have to go all the way to fucking Lexington to see the Features. Oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do. I may try using my patented slyness to get into the 12th & Porter show.

July 18th show at 12th & Porter - definite

July 12th show in Atlanta - possible. A road trip would be fun. I am actually ashamed to admit that I have never actually been into the city of Atlanta. I have just driven through it about a million times.

I will be sad to miss the July 4th show.

... ... do my eyes deceive me? Lexington, KY... w00t babeh! I'll be there most definitely, and hopefully I'll be at the 12th & Porter show... I probably won't make the one in Atlanta, though.


There's not really much else going on for the july 4th festival, so the features will most definitely be the highlight, but there will be food and vendors all over downtown that day.

damn, today just plain sucks. the sickness, the changing of about 20 diapers, and now this. i guess i'll have to drive to lexington. or maybe fate will bless me with another date at another venue. or maybe i'll have to drive to lexington. ::sigh::....

At least it's not super-near your home, Token... That way you can say it was fate, or that you would have missed it anyway... or something.

Man, looks like I won't be making any of these shows. I wish the Atlanta one wasn't 21+. I would've loved to go with my sister and her indie rock accountant friend. I might see if they'll let me in with my sister as my guardian. Or we just might do the ID switch. It's a risky move, but when you look like twins it can be very useful.

I hope all who attend these shows have loads of fun!

well, i guess i'll have to make a trip to lexington, but I'm just lucky to be able to go period. Maybe since it's the 4th of July, they will do a cover of a patriotic song or something... yes, i know this sounds dumb, but i think it has potential.

by the way, you guys know rachel is gonna freak out when she gets back from fla....

hopefully i can make the lexington show...

That was evil. I went from ecstatic joy to utter despair. I never like driving far for shows...I feel like every time I do they feel like making it a "short" nite. Oh well, Lexington it is then.

There's a fifty percent chance I'll be at the Lexington show. I never know with my parents.

Atlanta and 12th...alright!

what about the reading of the declaration of independence? i think that sounds pretty neat.

So at this festival, the Features are playing from 4:45-5:45 pm at Phoenix Park. They are sandwiched between Big Fresh and The Mad Shadows. Has anyone heard of these bands?

I might also try to check out Phyllidia's Desert Dancers (belly-dancing), The Dixie Express Clogging Team, The Mighty Gospel Harmonizers (gospel quartet), Stairway to Zeppelin (music of Zeppelin/variety), and Roda D’ouro Capoeira (Brazilian Martial Arts). But we'll see...

Well, what i meant was that there were some niche activities, but some people might not be into any of it. Myself, I'll be into the Bluegrass 10,000, because I used to like to run until I started smoking, but not everyone is going to be into that. I just thought I'd post the activities in case anyone wants to make a day of it rather than driving four hours for just the concert. *shrugs*

Thanks a lot for that link, dude. For a second I got all excited because I thought the Features were opening for Ricky Scaggs and Kentucky Thunder.

Lexington--Maybe
Atlanta-- Not likely (I'll be on the beach)
12th and Porter-- Hells Yes (the night before DND and Jetpack!)

Hmmm... I wonder if I can get in on that...

I'm glad that they finally have shows posted, but I still wont be able to see them for over another month, maybe I could convince my dad to take me to atlanta.

(Edited by FlyingFeaturesFan at 11:22 am on Jun. 12, 2003)

can i get a hell yes? the 12th Porter show is just in time! i'll 21 by then, so this will be my first legal 12th and Porter show!

hell yes.

Hmmm...maybe I can try to make it to ATL.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one floating on a wing an a prayer every freakin' time i go to 12th and porter lol!

I can't wait til I"m legal too!

Ok, so whats up w/this luck thing? is there a pretty good underage success rate for getting into 12th&p? any secrets? i'm seriously giving it some consideration.

back in october i tried to get in. i used the "i drove all this way!" because 12th and porter doesn't advetise that ALL shows are 21+. i thought i could use it to my advantage. it didn't work. i spoke to a few members of the band about getting me in... the management told them no...so that didn't work. i was determined to get in! while some guys were moving some equipment i managed to slip past through the back door. i was asked to leave during the 6-7 song of the features set. that still didn't stop me. i stood in the rain for the majority of the show and then slipped past the door again. it was one hell of a night. i haven't been back since.

so...i came to the conclusion that the more crowded the better. its easier to walk past the door person that way.

first of all, smooth move on having shows ready for me when i got back. wise decision (that im sure was totally because of me).

second, carl i hate you for getting me all excited about the fourth of july show. does anyone else think "what! they should be spending the holidays with us!" like they are family whenever they play out of town on a holiday? hmm.. me either..

im a little bitter about the atlanta show as well.

i will be at the 12th & porter show. no matter what.

(Edited by rachel1808 at 9:06 pm on Jun. 13, 2003)

do they let 16 year olds into 21 and over shows?

I didn't want to give out all the info before it was officially announced. Sorry about that.

they let this one in.

carl, you always seem to know little secrets and are really bad at keeping them. im never telling you anything!

If you only knew the secrets I haven't told. Your head would spin.

when I got into 12th and porter one time I had gotten into a sound check thanx to the band and then a woman came around checking I.D's and taking up money when the show was about to begin and there was a much older woman I knew who saved me from getting kicked out... she told the woman who was checking I.D that she would be held responsible for me an not let me drink anything.. and It work so I got to stay.

Recently I went to another show there and I was a bit nervous.. I mean I was a month away from being 21. I had brought my sister's I.D with me just in case she's 23 an we don't look alike in my opinion.. I memorized her social..and expiration date.. and stuff just incase and my friends even called me Portia that night ( I hate her name lol) and when I got to the door the chick didn't even check my I.D. she took my money and stamped my hand Iwas so relieved though. Also the entrance at 12th and porter where they check your I.D has a red bulb and it's a little dark.. it makes the I.D's look funny so even if she had to look at it I think I still would have gotten in.. it's worth a try.

they'll let you in with your legal gaurdian

I'd like to know how long the features are actually going to be playing at the Lexington thing since it's a festival. I mean, I really want to see them, but 5 hours there and 5 hours back would be a little much if this is just like 5 songs.

i was wondering the same exact thing... the answer... if we get one, will be the deciding factor for me.

It says on the festival's website that the Features are scheduled to play one hour, from 4:45 to 5:45.

Shame on all of you for making jamiecarroll repeat herself!

So...when will the Features play? How long do you think the set will be? Otherwise, I probably won't go.

i'd like to know this as well, b/c this will be a deciding factor in my decision to attend.

hmm, sorry i overlooked this..this doesn't sound very substantial then. 10 hours for 1? I don't know, and festivals of this sort tend to be unreliable. I guess I'll see what my impulse at that moment will be on the 4th.

i honestly can't think of a better way to spend the eve of my 21st birthday than at a features show!!! seriously!! so everyone who is going: bring extra dough that nite so you can treat me to a drink or two after midnite ^_~
court

yeah i know the feeling. i pulled 11 hrs roundtrip to see the clinic play in atl for a mere 35 minutes... but what a wild, wonderful 35 minutes.

Lexington shall have my presence on the 4th. I just have to figure out who to go with. As always, I'm game for a little messageboard roadtrip if anyone is interested. (Just PM me.) And, I've never been to Lexington, so it will be a new experience. Yay.
