Nice. Seen them every tour since the beginning except this last leg but if they're true to form the Skeleta tour will be back next year.

If they tour again next year, ill be at whatever show is closest to me.

They were in Boston last week but it just wasn't meant to be.

I almost drove from Atlanta to Tampa to see them the next night.
There were some decent seats for $140. each, but budgeting more gas, food and lodging killed it.

Contemplated it hard, but...

 

[SherryT]

Never been to one.

When I was 14, BTO came to Columbus (GA) and I FINALLY got my parents to let me go with my BF, Lisa, and her brother. The plan was for him to drop us off and then pick us up after the concert. The OTHER part of the plan was that we'd skip school that day (yes, I was a bit of a wild child!).

Alas, we got caught by none other than my Dad, who had a hunch something was going on so he drove through Lisa's neighborhood and there we were, walking up to the store for cigs.

He gave me a choice..."if you think you deserve to go, you can go", so OF COURSE I couldn't go (I wasn't quite "that" wild!).

Never tried to go to another one because no one I wanted to see ever came to our town again (not enough ticket sales I guess) and I'd rather chew glass than go to Atlanta for anything.

Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the day after Christmas. Great show. Definitely recommend.

 

[Apparition]

That's exciting, mighty interesting band. Different, but are you familiar with Puddles Pity Party?

I saw puddles a month ago when he opened for Weird Al.

Prior to that I saw AC/DC in April.

I've seen Diamond Reo, great band/show.
My wife and I like them alot.

I've also had the pleasure to make several skydives with their guitarist, Jimmy Olander. We met at the World Free Fall Convention in the early 2000s. I had him sign my logbook for one jump.

You and me both SherryT lol. And I live only about an hour north of the city. Thankfully the Braves moved out of downtown a few years ago.

It was just a big warehouse looking building.
I think it was north of town.

EDIT:
Oh wow, look what I just found on the InnerWebz!!

The Roxy is a great venue. Thankfully they moved it out of Midtown/Buckhead when the Braves built the new stadium up in Marietta a few years ago. It's literally adjacent to the new stadium. Great area. They built up a large area around it called The Battery. It's full of bars, restaurants, ect. And essentially no crime unlike downtown. Very clean and lots of parking nearby (for a price). I've been to the Roxy 3 times and we go to a Braves game 3 or 4 times a year. I sure as hell don't miss the get in and then get the f' out as soon as its over mentality of downtown. It's one of the best areas around Atlanta.
