Guns N' Roses @ The Fillmore - Detroit, MI - Feb 21

[russtcb]

I'm starting to think about what would be the best place to do the pre-party for Detroit. The easiest choice would be The State Bar because it's actually attached to The Fillmore:

The problem I have with it is that it's TINY and it's going to be packed already with people just going to the show. I personally would rather have a place nearby that all of the forum folks could meet up. I'm thinking of the Hockeytown Cafe. It's close so it'll have regular concert goers too, but it's far, far bigger than The State Bar.

Rub Pub is good to and just as close as Hockeytown.

Cheli's Chili is a great place too. a couple blocks away by Comerica park. Good food and 3 levels.

Both of those are GREAT suggestions. I'm down for whatever everyone else is. I live about 25 minutes from downtown right off of 96 and I considered opening our house for a pre-party but I'm not sure how A) my room mate would feel about that yet and B) not sure how we'd all get down to the show if we all drink early at my place.





Advantage to my place is cheaper drinks and I have every GN'R album from Suicide to Democracy on wax

Just heard that WRIF is having their official pre-party at The State Bar, that makes it all the more reason to be elsewhere.

The State Bar is so small anyway and they usually don't have good drink specials.  Ok to go to sometimes before a Tiger game, but there are usually better places.

This is actually on my back lol, sponge and gnr are definitely my favorite bands of all time, Sponge has declined as of late, but they were fuckin amazing

I see my tracking number is published now.  Funny that I don't have one for Chicago yet.

Want to see Axl Rose in a intimate setting? Look no further !
I have ONE hard ticket to see GUNS N ROSES LIVE At THE FILLMORE in Detroit on Tues. Feb 21st, 2012 !!!
SPONGE is opening up the show.

This ticket is for the sold out GENERAL ADMISSION FLOOR (WHERE ALL THE ACTION IS!). I'm  letting this go at cost (which is cheaper than the balcony tickets) because we are all friends here in on this board.
 
Please drop me a message if you are interested.

Again - the floor is not sold out.

I just got an e-mail from gunsnroses.com that stated my Detroit tickets are now at Will Call, but the lithograph will still be mailed.  For those that bitch about miscommunication, it was nice to get this and clear the air.  I would have been a little concerned if they didn't come tomorrow with the holiday upcoming on Monday without this e-mail.

Got that too and was beyond relieved. Way to go GNR! Thank you for the clarification now so I don't have to worry what's up all weekend.

I have VIP Gold. Flying out from Portland Oregon tomorrow to see this. The bad news is I have to get up at 4am.... the good news? GNR!!!!!!! Never been to Detroit so I am pretty excited.

I know this is a long shot since I assume everyone local already has tickets but if anyone wants to buy my GA floor ticket for $75 (paypal) let me know by 1:30PM.  I did print at home so I have the pdf I can email you immediately after payment.  I woke up today to find that one of our ferrets had died overnight so I'm really not in much of a mood to drive 6 hours for a concert but if it doesn't sell I'll go anyway.  Maybe it will be cathartic.

This day is going slow.  I'm ready to get to Detroit.

Portland eh?  How you liking it out there in Portland?  Safe travels and have fun at the show.

Getting pumped, although wish the weather was better.  Now, if I can just decide whether to use my set of main floor GA tickets or my second row Mez tickets...decisions, decisions.

[gnrjanus]

Hope you guys all get  the show from start till end.
Axl just posted he's sick as a dog.. so Keep chanting something along the lines of... Go Axl Go Axl! or something sweet!
help him stay up! and kill that nasty sickness!
