Fellow CT Roosters!

I was wondering who had the pushpin near Hartford at the Brunch.

Hey, i'm close enough. There should be more CT/Noho show meetups, I'd love to meet some of you guys.

My schedule is down below.

Grace Potter would be a good one. Just not up for going to D Block on a Monday night... especially with shows closer to me in the near future.

^ Close enough. It's literally four miles down the road.

Thinking about going to KoL, but moreso because Band of Horses is opening and lawn tickets are like 20 bucks. Figure I can get there in time for the show, snag a law ticket on the cheap, grab a beer and watch BoH in a mostly-empty lawn (while the idiot masses are still funneling outside), then leave while everyone else is coming in. 20 bucks for 45 minutes of BoH is worth it to me.

Also, definitely hitting the Weezy F. Baby July 13 show.

For ten more than that, I have seats in the front of the 500s. KOL was only soso in Hartford last year, though I think that was highly affected by the rain and the number of my friends who ditched second. Super excited for Band of Horses too!

I'd also like to point out that being a music fan in CT is an incredibly frustrating thing. Sure, there are plenty of great shows in Boston and NYC, but those places are just far enough away where it gets annoying. Especially being in central CT, the amount of good live music we get is underwhelming at best.

well apparently at some point i entered a facebook contest to win VIP tickets to Matt & Kim tomorrow night in Boston... I won. It's like a whole day event though because we get to go to a pre and post show party and go watch soundcheck... again though... Boston is just far enough where it's annoying

I tend to change my name about once every couple months, whenever I get bored. I work with a guy named Jugdish and it's one of my favoritest names.

And KatyMae, you're right on the money with Northampton. It's about an hour-plus drive for me, depending, which isn't bad, and they do get some great shows. Considering going to Fleet Foxes there in September.

Damn, I remember those late-nite drives home from Northampton...then dragginass the next morning at work, only to hear a colleague say "hey, didn't I see you last night @ Pearl St?" then suppressing the urge to strangle said colleague for not offering to carpool. Ah yes, the good ol' days!

Actually, the loudest show I ever experienced was Bob Mould at Iron Horse in '98. I couldn't hear clearly for a week after. And I'd seen The Who in Hartford a few years earlier and thought THAT show was loud!

...bump

Who's definitely going this year? Flying? Driving?

I'm flying on down. Gonna work a couple days between Mountain Jam and Roo.

I think Bonnie should join me on the Thursday morning flight.

I usually like to get there Wednesday early afternoon too. I drove down the past 2 years but I think it's time to fly again this year.

As an expatriate of CT I like to keep tabs on the Nutmeggers. Glad to see we will be well represented.

FM and I plan on driving down Monday for a leisurely trip (for a change). Picking up an RV in KY and going VIP this year. Juggs are you doing the brunch this year? Everyone wants to know what you look like.
