Re: 2006/09/07-08 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
I saw Isis at Bakersfield last night and frankly...um...well...there's a reason nobody has heard of them. They lacked any real heart and soul in their music, as hard as they tried to fabricate the real emotion it was just to obvious that it wasn't really there. Their music really wants to be technical and well timed but it just did NOT deliver.
maybe we just meet up at 8pm in the Harbor Bar in 111? if it's closed, then the brew pub in 108? i'll be the brown guy wearing black ;) (ok it's a black button down shirt but that woulda been funny otherwise.)

I'll look for you. Black guy wearing brown, right?
Hehe. Seriously, it's on. You got beers coming. So, all t.d.n. members who want a little meet and greet, go to the Harbor Bar and if nobody is there, the brew pub.
Please let us know tomorrow what went down with the hospitality so it can be clearer. On Friday, I'll be wearing my towelie "I have no idea what's going on" red t-shirt, hehe.
That said, I wish everyone a great time tonight. I'm excited for us. I'll see you there tomorrow!

Are people planning to meet there both nights? I'll only be there on Friday (though the availability of tickets for tonight's show is quite tempting . . .

That was funny anyway. I'll be the white guy with the distinctive walk caused by his HUGE BALLS.

Re: 2006/09/07-08 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
Again, Fox Sports Bar is located at Staple's Center. I go to Staple's all the time (season ticket holder for LA Kings) and that is the best place to grab a beer and something to eat. Their hours vary but they should be open tonight. It has a seperate entrance and you don't need a Tool ticket to get in there.
Also, there is a bar on the first level right under the escalators at the northeast entrance (think that's right but it's easy to get turned around!). It's not a sit down bar or anything, just there are actual bartenders serving beer and hard liquor there. So that would be a decent place to meet inside.
EDIT-
Looking at Kabir's link, I think the above bar is the Figueroa bar.
The Fox SkyBox is inside too. But I think that's only available if you have access to Premiere seats.

i'd suggest the 5N to the 57N to the 10W. the 5 and the 57 offer the most car pool lane action, especially since on a friday afternoon both of those frwys will be completely shot after about 3:30. the 10W shouldn't be all that bad, but im not making you any promises. it also has a carpool lane from the 605 to down town, unlike the 60. if you leave at 4 you SHOULD be able to make it to staples by 8. doors are at 730, im guessing tool will be on at 830 at the earliest.

I don't want to turn this into a "Directions to the Tool Show" forum, but as a former pharmaceutical rep, I'm pretty confident the 10 will be a nightmare both ways.
As for those tickets . . . I've been fighting the temptation to buy them for hours now. I have to meet up with a friend who's moving soon, and I'm pretty sure we'll hook up tonight. Does it say more for Tool's music or my priorities that I would even consider passing up getting laid to go to a Tool show?

That and they really need to ditch that vocalist.
.......of course that's just one opinion.
Fuck off.
Everybody who wants to see a STELLAR performance and not just a very good one I suggest you watch Isis and skip Tool :-p

While I certainly wouldn't do anything to stand in the way of.. ahem.. nature taking its course, I will say that the Tool concert being great tonight is a sure thing, whereas women change their minds like I change channels with the remote-do the Tool concert! :D
Re: 2006/09/07-08 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
As for the meet up, I'll look around for folks at the Harbor bar on that side of the arena in kabir's link. Looks like it's the bar just outside section 111 (I am sitting in 108 tonight so very nearby). I will wear my LA Kings hat (maybe that will help?). And please, if I ever said anything to piss you off around here, refrain from cock-punching me till after the show. plskthx
Re: 2006/09/07-08 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
I actually tried to get her to come with us tomorow night, but no dice. She said that she wasn't really a "that-kind-of-music person." Otherwise, I'd take her to the show tonight. Oh, well . . .

So that was YOU, was it?? Damn you and your senseless rioting!! I'm sending you my med bill..
Actually, now that we are on the subject this will be the first time I have seen Tool with reserved seating. I want to watch some dumbfark try to crowd surf during Schism only for the bottom to drop out when he gets to a few empty seats. I will LOL!
Which brings up another question- even though its reserved seating, everyone stands all the way through for a Tool concert right? I mean, I glanced behind me in the stands at Bakersfield and there were people actually SITTING! WTF?

I usually always stand. I don't understand why one would choose to sit, especially because most of the people in front of you are probably going to be standing and therefore blocking your view of the show.
Can't wait for the show tomorrow!

Don't worry you guys will get it, it'll become a mainstay now I'm positive. Such bullshit though, they should have put it at the beginning of this tour. Now the cities who missed it basically got screwed.
Re: 2006/09/07-08 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
Yup, and I paid 450 total to basically see the exact same show twice (250 for the mini tour and 100 each for 2 tickets last friday). Kinda, um REALLY SUCKS but what can ya do? Blair shouldn't have piped up that early, he got everyone all excited for something that didn't happen until now.

I agree with you there.
I wonder what else they have played. That wasn't even the "encore" yet.

How are they still on stage?! What are they playing now?! hahaha
Re: 2006/09/07-08 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center
I wonder if they fucked up Wings. haha, apparently they have had trouble playing through the whole thing. First time live probably won't be the best - don't be jealous - I doubt there will be many concerts from now on without that song.
