Impossible is nothing

I called to see how they will do the will call tickets . I was told that a few hard tickets were sold . I want very happy when i heard this . I was told that EVERYONE will be in line together and taken to a table area , this isnt by the stage so the people with the hard tickets will have to stay in this same line . ( i really hope this is the way it will happen ) Than all of us will than have to show our id etc , than be let in where the stage is .

I know I saw a few questions on cameras
I just called and the man said we can use cameras tonight.
I know I will have mine.

A couple of questions for you all...

Does anyone know for sure how will call system works? Will we have to leave the line to get our tickets?

Speaking of the line ... what time are you all getting there? I just want to be somewhere near the front!

Thanks Smiling

Go Pack Go

But so darn happy for them!!!!! They both really deserve it. I am so happy to see it go to a frequent DO member!!!! you know we will get the full review and pics from these girls!!!!!!

I might shead a tear or two while I am outside and they are in the M&G, but it will be tears of happiness (and a little jealousy) LOL

WWHHHHHOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I am soooo jealous! You deserve these tickets though. I love it when a true die hard fan wins VIP tickets. I should give you my prehistoric camera so you can take fabulous shots for me.
See you all tomorrow! Smiling

That sucks about the hoodie, but I believe that they have them at the concert!

My sister keeps picking on me saying she is going to wear a beer hat with the straws and some thing that you put around your neck to keep you cool. I know she won't embarrass me like that, but if she does she can stand by you with your umbrella hat:)

Can't wait - it is going to be a blast. People are worrying me about the heat though! Better bring extra deo!!!

Where are they barb...page 76???? Can't find em!!

Hey girls...you know you can't trust the weather people...it is BEAUTIFUL outside today...live in the Chicago burbs...and it was suppose to be a total washout today...rain/storms all day. It is NOTHING like that at all.

So - go for it. Bring a baseball hat or ponytail holder...it won't matter.. I'm telling you guys, it is HOT and SWEATY in these places. SWEATY. Right girls?

I agree with it. It is true.

I could get us some of those cool umbrella hats.
The temp is supposed to be tolerable but when
it's damp, it tends to give you chills, and they're multiplying
then you will lose control. Smiling
my daughters chorus group is doing Grease
and sometimes the songs get to me. sorry!
I cancelled my order on the Daughtry Hoodie. They
are temporarily out of stock and doubted it would be
in prior to the show Sad i will have to go buy something
special now. Take care...seven more days! whoo whoo

I have been watching the 10 day forecast the last couple days and it does look pretty rainy in Madison:( I am going to keep checking it though because that can change and most likely will. Let's hope it does! Only 1 week to go!!!

I'm so jealous of you girls who've already been to a Daughtry concert! My friend and I are going to the Annex next week and are crazy huge fans. I just checked the weather for Madison next week and it looks like we shouldn't have to worry about coats, but maybe rain. It rained at the last concert we went to so we bought a cheap umbrella and just tossed it when we got there. I can't wait until Wednesday night!!!

Gina

I have some paranoia issues with putting a real age being from a small town and all!
And you are right LJ..I am a hottie...cough, cough, hmmm mmmh, clearing of throat here.

Oh wait I know..I'm a Wanna be a hottie!!!

And coates were a real pain in Chicago. I held mine all night long just because I didn't want it to be trashed. That was a nice coat to Linda, dang that it got ruined!

Let me find out the info on coats at the Annex..give me a few to ask the co-worker. Hopefully it will be very very warm next week and coats will not be needed.

but... I had A HUGE ski jacket in Chicago...which I threw on the floor...on top of everyone elses jackets...and it got trashed. I knew that going into the concert, but OMG it was 22 degrees outside and sleeting...lightly...at times. Brrrr...

Indy...it was warm enought that we left the jackets in the car and we were fine. It is HOT inside those venues...all the people are packed in there. Throw liquor into the mix and some good music and the place heats up! The purse...it was on my shoulder...or on the floor (we were 2nd row both times) in front of the nice girls in front of me...on the dirty coats!

Still bringing the purse...(we need the lipgloss, right Dbug??? LOL Eye-wink ) and the coat...if I do bring one, will be "disposable". Bring something you don't care about!

Does that help???

If you can't take your camera in, you said to just put it in your purse. I was thinking of not taking my purse. Isn't it a pain to hold it through the concert? And your jacket. I've never been to the Annex so I don't know what it is like. Any suggestions?

You keep saying that wanna...the old thing...you are a 27 (did you see your profile??) year old hottie! DD...we had the karma goin, right girls. We need to channel more...ohmmmmm...

You are only as old as you feel...you may feel old in the morning...after the show!

Never got the jeans Connie...still the quest...lol

Doggys Paw Print

No need to fret about clothes! You all looked fantastic at the DD, so I am sure you will be fine for another show! I may just wear my jammies as like Melissa said, jagerbombs=no sleep between shows! Ahhh but I am too old!

Get that dino camera out...take them to get developed, load that CD on your computer...and we'll teach you the ways of photobucket!! Then, you can post away!!!

Time to shop for those jeans I never bought...still searching...

Doggys Paw Print

thanks for your input re the cameras. I haven't
ventured into the land of digital. they scare me.
i am afraid that i will erase all my pictures at the
touch of a button. i will bring my prehistoric
35mm and take my chances. then maybe i
can get a cd made and then post my photos
if i can figure out how to do that...does any
one know how to do that? curious. i do have
some pictures on cd from the hob show from
my friend lola...i can post them if i knew how.
Smiling

I will cry if we can't take pictures! I can't believe it is almost here - 9 days! Can't wait

We did bring the digital cameras...and they worked great.

If your camera has a mega lens or something like that, you may not be allowed to use it. In general, most of the venues have left picture taking up to the band...and Daughtry does allow it. I don't know if we got the official word on the cameras...but you want to bring them. If you can't take pics during the concert...then you leave it in your purse!

Smiling

sounds as if i may need to bring some extra funds.
i have to just start looking under cushions and maybe
i will just go door to door with a pledge sheet. That would be pathetic
wouldn't it? Nevertheless, it is going to be fun. I can't
wait to see DAUGHTRY! Did u girls bring your digital
cameras in or 35mm...? I don't want to bring my camera
and have them turn me away. It looks like it is professional
but believe me its not.

Pick your flavor...ONE AND DONE!

But, like Dbug said...and from what I remember...we did a lot of buying last time!

I JUST FINALLY SETTLED DOWN....AND NOW I AM ALL PUMPED UP AGAIN!

I can have fun getting my taxes done. Who needs booze? BUT, if a rockstar is offerin I'm slammin... LOL

I will be entrusted with the lives of three others to bring home..Must stay sober and awake! Now if one of them offers to drive..well then that may be a different story!

Friday night when I went out with friends until 6am, I had a hangover before I even went to sleep! And I paced myself very well as I was DD that night too!

We will see! I can have fun without drinking too much!

AND NO VOICES OF REASON!!! Ok, maybe. Eye-wink

We have AN HOUR to drive "home" to our home where our FAMILIES will be enjoying a little mini vacation...so either my friend Katie or I will be road-trip ready. Gosh I hope it is HER!!!! lol

Kung Fu Fighting...lol...we are going to have some serious FUN!

If you bring the hoodie in...prepare to tie it around your waist or sacrifice it to the floor. It is a HOT stinky place, these DAUGHTRY concerts! AND, if you are lucky enought to be in the front, you made need to use it as a PONCHO. Taki get a bit sweaty....it is not all bad though...right ladies...Smiling

Connie...I am buying your 1st Mike's!!!!

It looks like the hoodie is a thin long sleeve cotton
so hopefully I will be warm enough standing in line
but cool enough while I am banging my head and
moshing. Nah, i haven't moshed since the Beastie
Boys came to chicago in the 80's. A good case
of whiplash will cure any headbanging girl Eye-wink

and u said u were just the watchful eye...wish i could
have been a bug on the wall at that swanky hotel..lol
that had to be so awful...he he he....i hope your husband
took pictures...if so, you should post them Smiling
can't wait...the 28th is not getting here fast enough

I am wishin... we gotta keep it together...LOL
Wanna I was pretty good when I left Birdy's, but leaving the bar in Chicago... let me put it this way...
The cab dropped us off at our sawnky hotel and my hubby went thorugh the auto doors that go is circles on there own... lol I got stuck in there! lol There was too much glass! lol It all looked like an exit from the circle I was trapped in...lol But he said I got out of there and turned to look at it like I was going to beat it up...LOL What a fun night. Smiling The next day, no fun. what a long drive to Indy...lol

You will all need someone who doesn't drink much to watch over you. That would be me! I am not a drinker, (well an occassional RAZ never hurts, or a MIke's if I'm in the mood) but one or two does me just fine!
So I will be the sober one in the group and make sure everyone is A OK!!!

Can't wait!

dbug- if you bring that giant bag i heard so much about,
you can hold my kung fu fighting gear and I don't really
want to use my skills on bad people but if it will help
the crowd be cool and fun, i will take one for the team.
just know, i got your backs! u2 linda! and for the record, the song kung fu fighting
i will have with me on my 8 track walk man..it always makes me focus
on the tasks at hand! Smiling

Nah

No bad taste...not from Indy...not from cider (ewwww)...not from vodka...not from the Captain.

Madison is a new place, new concert, new friends. Don't get the wrong idea from Dbug and I...Indy was great. Double Door was just soooo fabulous...and there was such a great vibe with the concert, the bonding with the people standing in line and milling around, that I am hoping Madison can even come close.

Sure it was just your eyebrows....lol And, yea, maybe too much wine...definitely DQ. We wound up there bc Dbug was too COOL for the cups there. WHATEVER!!! Luckily, we won't give her a hard time...since Joey was in DQ... Eye-wink

HOT EATS!!! COOL TREATS!!!

Doggys Paw Print

I waxed my EYEBROWS!! lol

And Linda, too much wine for you? It was DQ who told us we cant put booze in styrofoam cups...LOL I was too cool for KFC...lol I just wanted to see you walk that extra distance to DQ...lol

WI will be drama free. Smiling I will call in the drama police. I know a good hampster. lol

WI

The captain used to be a friend of mine until someone
made me have some hot cider with him and it didn't
make me feel so good. He has occasionally joins me
for a diet coke but not so much as he used too Eye-wink

My friend lola wilkins will be joining me on the road
trip to Madison. I'm thinking about letting my girls
decorate my windows for the ride up there. They are
little artists.

As far as beautifying ourselves, we need to every now
and again. Believe me, I am not liking my gray highlights.
If you know what I mean. They don't look natural.

I can't wait until the 28th...I am like a kid in a candy shop.
I want it all now!!!
See you all soon.
We are going to have a ball.

sounds like a lot of drama in INDY...hope it didn't
leave a bad taste in your mouth Sad

in Chicago...there is plenty to do! So, to warm up, we went in the restaurant next door and drank! We had to be resourceful in Indy...other than the KFC, gas station and DQ...there wasn't much going on near Birdy's!

LOL with the lemonade from 7-11! Been there...and now I don't do vodka!

The Captain likes to join me on my adventures. I have a ticket for him! Eye-wink

AND -- LMAO...we (MB20, Cam, Dbug, Julia) and I did that too -- the hair, highlights, the works...someone even got WAXED before DD and Indy! Hilarious! Like it makes a difference! Hey, if it makes us feel good, then we should do it!

I can't wait!!!!!! I NEED MORE DAUGHTRY!!!

Doggys Paw Print

in college we did things like stop at 7-11 for a lemonade
slurpee and filled it with some vodka. That worked
like a charm. Smiling
We are going to have a ball in WI

trixyt!

Dbug is the one who stored the goodies in her jumbo purse! And, I thought it was nice of the KFC guy to enlighten us on the benefits of a plastic cup! Nice! And, I thought I learned everything I needed to know about that kind of thing in college! NOPE!

Can't wait to meet everyone!

Doggys Paw Print

my friends went to the HOB show but I couldn't see me taking
my kids out of school for me to stand in line but as it turns out
i should have. my friend got down to chitown around 930 and within
an hour of being there the bouncer let them stand in the lobby!
boo hoo to me. Now i know if i would have went, i would have been
standing in line for hours...thanks for your tip about the styrofoam
cups. too bad for your friends and thanks to your eagle eyes,
i will bring a solo cup. I don't plan on getting out of control, just
comfortably numb!
can't wait for the show. I am getting the works done in a week..
hair colored, eyebrows waxed and a new dew!

I thought of getting a hoodie, but decided it would be way too hot and then I would have to hold it the whole time. I suppose standing out in line could get cold though! Can't wait to meet everyone! So excited! Has anyone met Chris yet? I hope we get to, sounds like it could be difficult:( Hope not!

Styrofoam cups don't hold up.. lol Who knew no booze eats styrofoam cups? lol Look what I learned in Indy! lol But it wasnt me. Really. lol You know when my friends and I did the HOB show in Chicago we had been standing in the same spot with no breaks, no drinks nothing for like 6-8 hours. By the time the show started we couldnt enjoy it, we couldnt SHOW how much we enjoyed it b/c the day had been so draining... there on out we decided no more of that. While Daughtry is on stage you gotta show your love by having fun! lol If it takes a hotty totty to loosen everyone up then show me the way I will play barkeep. lol

I will just assume you were the ring leader Smiling That is fun I would
partake in those types of events. You are right, no one would
ever think our kfc stryofoam cups contained anything other then
soda pop...w/rum...Smiling
I can't wait until this show. I ordered a black ladies hoodie from
the merch. section. I should be getting it soon...I am going to
look stunning it in I am certain. If it is too small, my 11 year old
will have a new cute hoodie.

Ummm.... there was no where in Indy to hang preshow but DQ and KFC. But there was a liq store. SOme of the girls went there to get some drinks. Not me, no I had no part in that. Umm, no. Innocent really. Smiling But I bet the entire line thing is more fun with some secret beverages lets say in a DQ cup or KFC cup. I personally would never do anything like that but all of my friends did. I tried to be the voice of reason. lol Eye-wink If they tell you any different they all lie. Gotta watch out for them...lol

The Regent Street Retreat is a great place to sit and hang out, but iIf you go a few more blocks up you are on campus and near State Street which is filled with tons of bars and places to hang out. A local hotel will have an area map and you should be able to navigate around the area easily. Enjoy the show!

Can't wait for the Summerfest tickets to go on sale!!!

my gal pal said that parking is pretty much like it
is in chicago...side streets. she said there is no
parking garage. also for the preparty don't know
if the bar attached to the annex - Regent Street
Retreat will be open or not. she said that is a
great place to sit and chit chat.
