Total bust of a pre-sale.  10:02....nothing.  Nice.Are they doing GA for the rest f the show?B/c I've looked at the rest of the building's shows-their prices are ridiculous.My friends aren't going to want to hear about most of the tickets in the building being $100 or more.If anyone has the inside story about what's going on

GBS twice in a weekend!  That was absolutely amazing!Didn't get to see the end of the set b/c my friends wanted to stake out some good space in the tent where Gaelic Storm was playing.  It was their first time seeing GBS, and they were VERY impressed.Was nice seeing those I got to say hi to up in altamont.  It really was an awesome

BetRx: Teejsjulaw: . We'll meet beforehand around the corner at O'Lunney's for drinks and dinner starting around 6 p.m. The show starts at 8 and there should be ample opportunity to meet up afterwards for anyone who's interested.Great info, Teejsjulaw.  The show starts at 8, but doors are at 7, so I don't think drinks and dinner

Going to the festival for the first time, although it'll be my 4th GBS show.going with some friends from law school.SOOOOO excited.

RobinB: The package my CD came in was sent from a place in Wellsley Island, NY.  Seems the eastern states would get the packages sooner.....Yeah, that Wellsley Island return address confused me.  It wasn't until I saw the calendar when I got into my apartment that I realized it was the CD.  It was a VERY happy realization.
