Do you have any idea how much i love you??!!?!?!?!

:D:D:D:D

Wait!! How am I going to score these tickets???? Being on line at noon really dosen't mean anything...

Oh, I'm so nervous!!

[kleptomaniac]

you're definitely gonna make it, izzy! and i'm so jealous!!! ;)

edit~ oops. man, you always think of the things that i don't think of... :o

[IzzyNYC]

I just read $75 on Terminal 5's page. I can't see anything on the Ticketmaster pre-sale. Shit.

*deep breathe*

ERR!!!

[IzzyNYC]

you're definitely gonna make it, izzy! and i'm so jealous!!! ;)

edit~ oops. man, you always think of the things that i don't think of... :o

Wait! does this mean your down grading my "definitly" going to make it:eek:.

[kleptomaniac]

Wait! does this mean your down grading my "definitly" going to make it:eek:.

aaaah no, i just mean i didn't think of how much the tickets cost or presale info, sorry!! :o

you're MOST DEFINITELY gonna make it, and it's gonna be AWESOME!!!!! :cool:

and i'm still very jealous. :D

[Documad]

who's going?

Who would have thought that you could go to a Beasties concert in NYC? :p

[IzzyNYC]

I actually almost cried a teeny tiny bit. I know I shouldn't admit that but whatever - I'm soooooo excited!!!! BUT I won't be able to relax until I have tix. The pre-sale is for a full day and I can't figure it out:mad:.

Klepto, if anyone deserves these boys it's you. Your day will come(y)

[mathcart]

I actually almost cried a teeny tiny bit. I know I shouldn't admit that but whatever - I'm soooooo excited!!!! BUT I won't be able to relax until I have tix. The pre-sale is for a full day and I can't figure it out:mad:.

How can a band that brings me such Nachass also bring so much agida? (sorry about the yiddish- it just comes out when I'm all flaclempt).
:eek:
So I've no idea how to get tickets or if I will get tickets, I only know that I will try very hard.
:(
Sidebar- I think its interesting the widely different feelings I get when I hear about new Beastie Boys music as opposed to shows. Theres gotta be a better way to do this, although I certainly don't know what it is.
:confused:

I keep deciding that I'm done with Beasties live shows. Lord knows I will never see them at a festival again. And then they do this shit and I start looking at my work calendar and wondering whether there is a remote possibility of me getting out of a shitload of work and where I might stay, etc.

Do it!!! Do it!!!:D

[alikat]

personally i have to stop the madness, i already flew home once just for the tour & must travel there at the end of march. . . it makes no sense for me to go.

but i just want to say, i really think it's a great org they'll be benefitting. to give just one example, a therapist friend of mind has used music therapy with the blind with incredible results. their web site musichaspower.org seems to be down but i found this story. (http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=local&id=3845726)

that being said . . . it makes it all the more shameful that evil TM has the power over these tix. all those service fees, not to mention the scalper rates that inevitably ensue, should go straight to the charity. :(

[Laver1969]

I love waking up to this kind of news. Excellent!

[yolanda]

I checked my email from work last night and got the news. I let out a really loud, "YEAH BOYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!". I think I scared everyone!

Hope I can get tix today.

(!)(!)(!)(!)(!)

[IzzyNYC]

Last night may have been my most restless sleep since Christmas Eve when I was 9. Gotta figure out this pre-sale...... anyone know??? (please)

but i just want to say, i really think it's a great org they'll be benefitting.

I wholeheartedly I agree! This is an amazing cause, and one that hits close with my family. These types of illnesses/injuries don't get nearly enough attention. Way to go Boys!!

[Mr. Juice]

Anyone know if there's a password you need for the pre-sale?

[jennyb]

who's going?

Me Me Me oh I am Me Me Me *raises hand super high*

[paulb]

Im going with my beastilicious babe!

[RobMoney$]

I plan on being the first in line!!!

I'll definetly hold a spot on the rail for all the BBMB folks.
We should co-ordinate outfits or something so we can spot each other.
Everyone has a green Oscilliscope Labs shirt right?

[oneroomonedog]

7 times for this tour .I travel almost around the world Paris >LA>SF >London i think i'm done too, but ..oh i never been to NYC .
it is very interesting. still can not get the password ?

[Laver1969]

Shabba Dee Shabba Doo!

While I'm thinking about it...I'd like to officially request THIS SONG! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gSlnleUqUM)

[Documad]

I am not going. I have two different work conflicts I can't get out of that day. :rolleyes:

[RobMoney$]

I wonder if the Beasties will use that one fans' idea of having a seperate section for girls so they can avoid any "meatheads" that might decide to get too rough near the front of the stage.

[djdjdj]

They should just throw the meatheads out.

[Nicodemus]

Haha. A wooly mammoth is afraid of meatheads. Grow some balls... oh wait... nevermind.

I don't like meatheads or prehistoric beasts.

Is this where I add an emoticon?

That's right.:confused:

[RobMoney$]

HAHA,
Did your mom tell you her pet name for my penis was wooly-mamoth?
She never gets enough, LOLZ, Just tell her I'll be busy on March 4th, but I'll make it up to her the next night.



Anyway, I hope every meathead in the Tri-State uuureah shows up to this thing, I'll be right at home.
It's not supposed to be a funeral, it's a mu-fukkin Beazly Boys concert. Leave the Wine & Brie at home.

[pshabi]

I'm a game time decision.

I'd really enjoy meeting up with friends from past shows and acquiring some new beastie buddies this time around too. It'd be top!!!

Here's to hoping!!(y)

Love,

Phil

[Documad]

It's a smallish venue. It's not a festival. You guys don't be assholes now. All the superfans can have a nice time together. Sorry I can't be there. I want detailed reports god damn it!!! And some video with decent sound!!!

Thanks. (y)

[CHECKHEAD2004]

Presale is 100 bucks a tic

[CHECKHEAD2004]

anyone know why presale tics are 25 bucks more? Are they vip?

[paulb]

Shabba Dee Shabba Doo!

While I'm thinking about it...I'd like to officially request THIS SONG! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gSlnleUqUM)

dude, Rhymin and Stealin! would be the sickest song performed...

[ampm]

Some female fans have more girth than the meatheads.

[IzzyNYC]

Now, I have been told that I tend to stress over Beastie related events ;)BUT -- my ticket has a seat number!!!

What the?!?!?!?!

[AceFace]

IZZY! i'm jealous that you're going. we need to do an official beastie meet up/freakout if they play between NY and VA!

also. criterion collection should be in my hot little hands tomorrow!

What are you talking about?? NYC is just a short acela ride away. Plus, it's your birthday, remember?

[challah bread]

I'm thinking about flying in from Chicago for the show.

[Nicodemus]

You all have fun.

Meanwhile I'll be sexing up Rob's grandmother...

[AceFace]

hey! you get me the ticket for my birthday, and i'll be there! :p

[djdjdj]

Man, I wish I was as cool as you are.

What the?!?!?!?!

Most smaller venues even number their GA tickets with a seat number.

[IzzyNYC]

Ah, thanks!

(oh, and congrats on that awesome SB win!!!!)

[RobMoney$]

FYI~

This isn't really a smallish venue.
I have a friend who's an AV guy who's worked that place. He tells me it holds around 3000.
That's approx. the size of the venues they were playing this past tour for TMU.

People should forget their visions of the HIRO show being anything like this show.

true... but its still NYC and thats special for me! Im really excited... Unfortunatly I gotta skip and sell my Bad Religion tickets that I already had for that night....but its WELL worth it.

[lyneday]

The venue was a club for years (Carbon, Mirage, Exit)
It just opened as a music/special event venue in October.

Here's some info/floor plans

Also, IMNF (http://www.bethabe.org/Press_Center98.html) finally updated their page with info on the benefit. I'm still not understanding why pre-sales were $25 more than reg. on sale.



Beastie Boys to Headline Special Benefit Concert

[IzzyNYC]

I think I read that the venue holds ~3,000 ppl but assume that would have to include the booth areas, etc. Looking at the floor plan, it seems like we may still get our intimate show?!

Any way, it's not MSG and I'm super duper happy(y)

[mkvl3]

So is anyone rollin' up in Gala gear? Or going the picnic route?

[YoungRemy]

i was like "terminal 5? wtf" so is this like an Irving Plaza/S.O.B.'s type of place? i just looked that it's near Columbus Circle and Fordham, way on the West side in No man's land...

that Tuesday schedule makes it pretty difficult to get back to NYC...

enjoy the benefit everybody! looks like a warm-up show for Langerado

[IzzyNYC]

23 days and 1hr


Just sayin'

:D

[dirtydan11]

dude, Rhymin and Stealin! would be the sickest song performed...

What's up, Paul? And Rhymin' and Stealin' WAS the sickest song i've ever seen performed, fuckin' front row in TO.. wish you could have came and met up with us for that one :)

[paulb]

What's up, Paul? And Rhymin' and Stealin' WAS the sickest song i've ever seen performed, fuckin' front row in TO.. wish you could have came and met up with us for that one :)

I wish too man... I was all over the world seeing them beastie boys in 2007, but wasnt even able to afford making it to Toronto... Whats up with no Vancouver dates? they owe us some shows... You going to NYC? Ill be there with my babe and bboy possee.

[gbsuey]

FINALLY. I have tried and failed so many times to register but i got here at last. Reading about you guys gearing up for the shows is great but i'm so totally insanely gutted that i just can't even consider making it. All you who don't have a wopping great ocean between you and these shows-festivals included-do it for those of us who can't!! I do however still have that warm fuzziness from two shows in one weekend at Bestival!

[jennyb]

23 days and 1hr


Just sayin'

:D

I like how you think! YAY!

...Ill be there with my babe and bboy possee.

I hope your babe doesn't mind that I'm going too. ;)

[pshabi]

Well, just found out I can get away from work/fam and go to NYC for the show. Now I just gotta find a fucking ticket. Fuck.

Should've just bought one anyway. Dumbass.

[JtCann]

I've been to Terminal 5 a few times, I saw hold steady/art brut, the fab faux and ween there. It used to be a club called Exit which most people in NYC would have heard of, Its in the middle of nowhere on the West side.

I would suggest getting there early if you want a nice spot in the front or up on the balconies, The sound quality is hit or miss though, if you get there late you will be stuck underneath the balcony overhang and it sounds like shite.

[yolanda]

I've always been meaning to check out The Fab Faux.

[pshabi]

Well, just found out I can get away from work/fam and go to NYC for the show. Now I just gotta find a fucking ticket. Fuck.

Should've just bought one anyway. Dumbass.

That was quick! Got the hookup from a very generous fan. Much appreciated and I'll see you all in NYC!!!!!!!

[dirtydan11]

I wish too man... I was all over the world seeing them beastie boys in 2007, but wasnt even able to afford making it to Toronto... Whats up with no Vancouver dates? they owe us some shows... You going to NYC? Ill be there with my babe and bboy possee.

i wish i could go to the show! i'm borderline poor here with a baby on the way! it's only like a seven hour drive from here, too. too bad i totalled my car on top of that haha. maybe that compassionate bboy fan shabi was talking about will help me out, too ;)

Hey, I'm not that lucky! I paid face value for it, but I didn't have to go through the ebay whores and/or wait and be nervous about not getting one. Fast, friendly, but fair. hahaha

[paulb]

see ya there Philly!

[YoungRemy]

I'm really pissed. I just found cheap airfare and I'm shut out of a decently priced ticket... ebay and craigslist are asking 200 a pop...

PM me if you have an extra so I can pull the trigger...

[djdjdj]

[bizmark]

This is to anyone else is in the slam in Hamilton NJ. When you get out, take Hamilton Station to Penn Station to get to NYC for the benefit at Terminal 5. Feel free to bring your juice on the train.

[RobMoney$]

Tickets arrived in the mail and I booked a phat room at a four-star hotel.

New York, New York, it's a hell of a town.

[paulb]

[Pootytang]

Looking forward to seeing all you freaks in line. ;) First 9 freaks I run across get a free gift. Gotta catch me early because they will go quick.

[Ashley1219]

i'd REALLY like to avoid paying double the face value for the tix that people are selling-- especially if there's anyone "stuck" with tickets out there!

[paulb]

I got my tix today in the mail! Thats alot of pressure off now... now im just stoked!

[IzzyNYC]
