So, Philly. I can haz MCR!

I'm sure that because I bought tickets, there will now be super-convenient MA & CT shows announced in 15 minutes, but. Just in case.

I'm thinking I may actually just take the week of 5/6 off and roam around--I've been restless, I haven't taken a road trip in forever, I haven't ever really been to the middle of the country. I think I might go through Ohio to Lake Erie, then go to Niagara Falls, then home.

Is that the lamest road trip ever? I just can't wrap my mind around going places where there aren't large and interesting bodies of water. *grins*

But anyway. Drama-less presale, Philly, MCR, fangirls, yay. Who else is going?

I'm glad yours was drama-less. Ducat logged me out as I went to buy my ticket, forcing me to do the endless refreshing scramble. Thank god it's a GA venue.

Oh NOES. :( I hope you're all set now--damn website! I wish I could've bought more tickets. But I am certain that even if this presale sells out, you will all end up going--bandom has been just awesome about this kind of thing.

*fingers crossed for you!*

I have my ticket, though whether it'll work out in reality is another story. But still, awesome!

Yaaaaaay! I'm glad you got them and hope you can make it--I bought some HCT tickets with the plan of 'hopefully I'll actually be able to go!' and so far have not regretted that. *grins*

When we lived in Rochester, MrGiraffe and I once took a roadtrip to Notre Dame and then continued all the way around Lake Erie and then back to home. We found an antique mall named [RealName] Antique Mall, which was kind of cool. We also stopped for dinner at a place that gave us a huuuuuuge meal (I had the fried chicken - *three* pieces of chicken, real mashed potatoes, soup, salad and dessert; MrGiraffe had the turkey - a huge pile of freshly roasted turkey plus all the other stuff) and the total for the two of us came to $12.00! Our waitress was pregnant and was *freaked* over our NY license plates. She treated us like we were wolves and any false move on her part would result in us ripping her limb from limb.

Good times. *g*

Heeeee, you crazy NY people might've been RABID. She had no way to tell! *giggling*

It sounds like a memorable trip anyway, hurray for road trips.

I think it'll be fun--I've never seen anything like Niagara Falls. Or been to any of the Great Lakes; I was in Chicago a couple years ago and never actually made it to Lake Michigan. It'll be neat!

Uh, me and my man hopefully. Poor [livejournal.com profile] quettaser is not having an easy time with the site and I'm feeling like I'll never get to see MCR again! :/

Oh noooooes, Faye. I hope that Rachel got through! I can't imagine seeing them in your neck of the woods without you. :( :( :( But I'm sure that even if she got screwed on the presale, it'll work out. Bandom is awesome that way!

She told me not to worry. I'm sort of listening to her. Waryne wanted to go too so I'm hoping we can get him a ticket as well.

I'm just...I'll be over here, rocking in the corner.

I totally thought of you since we JUST talked about the HCT, but then I thought--6 hour ride a month before she's due? Midweek? Probably a no. But we will bring you Ray Toro and Bob to nanny!

I wanted to, but in the end I just couldn't justify it, especially on a Tuesday, and in the first week of May. Saturday, I could have done. April, I could have done. So now I'm holding out for MA.

Aww. Yeah, I dithered about it too. And I just know we'll have local shows announced later--or later in the year, at least. I will keep my fingers crossed! :)

I was thwarted by the presale, but I am going anyway, as [livejournal.com profile] pandoraiam is awesome and managed to get an extra ticket. \o/

Hurray for people who get extra tickets! I had one too but it was snapped. up. in about .0000004 seconds. *grins* I may try to grab more--if I get them, I'm sure I can find someone who needs them, and it's a nice thing to be able to do. We'll see, and yay [livejournal.com profile] pandoraiam!

I'm hoping to go, but missed the presale (had a lunch engagement I couldn't get out of). I'll have to wait and see if I get a ticket in the general sale.

From: [identity profile] giddygeek.livejournal.com
Yeah, I'm gonna maybe try and grab a few more in the general sale--it does seem like a lot of people on my f'list had a hard time. :( I refreshed at like, 12:59:30 just in case and they were available, so I think I just got lucky!

Anyway, I'm sure you'll be able to get a ticket either through ticketmaster or lj. Are you on [livejournal.com profile] 2damnoldforthis? It's an excellent source of tickets and such.

If you really go through Niagara, please please please come stay with me! I am so close to there! *clasps hands and makes pleading anime eyes*

Ooh! Ooh! I totally will! That would be super neat. I'll let you know if Plan: Roadtrip! is a go. *beams*
