So it looks like I will not be able to make it to the show tonight...my fiancee has been fighting off a wicked sickness for the past couple of day and it seems to have overtaken her, so i will be playing the role of dutiful husband to be tonight and nursing her back to to health. I'm sad that i won't be able to see y'all tonight. But have a drink for me! Hope the show is awesome!! Bummer! Looking forward to saying hi again (we met at the Wiltern show)...anyway, hope she is feeling better soon. Jack

You could always wear your US shirt under your work shirt, or stash it in your car and throw in on before you get to the bar. I also think that it's kinda funny how such a big deal get's made about getting one of the shirt's, and then nobody want's to wear them to the gig's. Mine will be making it's maiden voyage, and I guess then Im just supposed to put it in a drawer and fell confident and smug that I own one. Mine's been worn to 5 shows since it arrived. I'll throw it in the car. You're hard to disagree with Chris.... Jack Well, I forgot the shirt at home...too much going on not being home for a week. That settles that....see you guys in 8 hours! Jack

Coming from work, and I don't feel like changing...so no shirt for me. I just didn't want to be the only one.
See you guys around 6. If I'm a few minutes late, don't get shitfaced without me.

Hmmm...doors at 8. I will probably want to get in line 7-ish. Maybe we should meet at 6:00. I'd agree with that. Oh, one more question....are the shirts coming out? Jack

Bummer!
You know, the more I think about it, it does seem like an odd time for a Tonight Show slot. Last studio album over a year ago, no tour to promote....maybe they want to save their late night mojo for the next record?
Either way, I was looking forward to it, now I may have to go to the taping because I begged for a ticket through work. And the other guests look lame. Oh well....

Sadly, Chris....with the lack of sleep I've had, I barely remembered my passport. But, I'm back at my desk at work, ugh. I like my fantasy life sometimes. So, no cigars. But, we'll go find them together in Sept. Jack No worries mate. Cheers! I wasn't worried. I just wish I could be as good a host as frannyglass.... Jack

Sadly. I'm going back home tomorrow. But, here are three things I like right now. I know, wrong thread.
1) frannyglass' yummy donuts and cookies. 2) I get to go home to a hometown THS show! 3) I get to come back in September.
All good.
Jack

To continue my Vancouver love....just had a 3 hour drive back to the city, in beautiful weather, blasting The Hold Steady in my car. Oh, and singing along at the top of my lungs. Ahhhhh. I love this city. Probably should have posted this in my 5 fav things right now, thread. Oh well.
Hope it works out to see you guys, frannyglass!

no, i don't. which is why it will break my heart if you guys stay at a hotel that isn't within walking distance of my place. and jack, do you mean you're coming back to vancouver for the weekend? y'all oughta get in touch with me, me and the mister can take you to joe's for breakfast on sunday. Now that's tempting! We're shooting all day Saturday and Sunday.....throughout downtown, so I'm not sure I can get away for brunch at a decent hour, sorry....I'll send you a PM and give you my info! Love this place.... Jack

No....it's a more expensive hotel I use for work all of the time. Hoping to get a decent rate. It's called The Opus.....

Yes it is, Frannyglass! We're shooting some car commercials, so it's a good thing. Except I'm up waaaaay too early.

Not that it matters in any way, but I'm in Vancouver now! I hope the weather is this nice for our show....Maybe I'll go by the box office and see if I can get a better single...

I'll second what Chris said...leave before 7. Traffic can get hairy at that time. Parking is easy at the El Rey...usually across the street, but I'm guessing the guys will be on between 9:30 and 10. I'd leave at 6:30 to be safe...you'll get a good spot.

OMG, ten more day's. I can't wait to meet Jack. I can't wait to get drunk at The Rainbow. I can't wait to dislocate a kneecap doing the twist. It's going to make the Sacramento show look like a Stryper concert. ;D I have to make up for missing Sacramento....I'll do my best guys! Jack

I am staying with a friend...would be handy to have that extra for her. She's coming to Old 97s. Also, Jack, I love the way you keep track of my plans. Well, worst case scenario, we'll have to hit the standby line at 10am...will keep you posted. Probably won't know anything until late next week at the earliest. Yes, miss, I am keeping track of your plans. Not because I'm a stalker, but because I too have tickets for the Old 97's that I would have had to eat if that second El Rey show became fact.... Jack

OK. Sent the email asking for 4. Used the "big fans traveling down from SF to see The Hold Steady, we'll be great audience members" tactic. Let's hope it works. I also asked at work, and might be able to get a pair of VIP. If that happens, I'll have an extra. Let's make it happen!
