TUE 7/6 Cleveland, OH House of Blues
THU 7/8 Grand Rapids, MI Orbit Room
FRI 7/9 Columbus, OH Newport Music Hall
Hmmm this may be a possibility...

I'm just a bit surprised to see the Smashing Pumpkins are playing somewhere close by July 9th. I'm debating if I should grab a ticket or not, the trouble is that Metric is playing the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on the same day. Tough choice I know.
Also a Kiss pre-sale is staring me right in the face as well @ the MCA
Sometimes you wish that you could go to everything...

I didn't realize Steve Jobs did his demo out in Youngstown?
Too Funny. I'm just happy that someone like jobs had a total F Up while doing a presentation. Right now I am just sick of doing one every class and it got really old last class. I'm just sick of them at this point. Yea I know that this is just the standard way of the business world, but no matter how much you prep, you may always run into a down network such as this.

Beach RatingsTo be honest I'm not buying this guys rational, then again I guess I like to actually SWIM from the Beach that I would be on and not freeze. Oh, and being allowed to kick back with a Corona (in a can) would be nice as well. Plus not having a $40 cover charge is also a bonus...
Siesta Beach is #1 in my book if you just enjoy any of the above.
Then again I don't know how much longer it will be in the current state that it is in given the mess BP is brewing :-/

Brilliant WNY Summer Concert Series IdeaCategory: concerts
To be honest when the schedules for the "free" shows around the area are released, I'm always praying "Please don't let it be someone I MUST see!" To be honest I can't stand most of the people in the area that go to these shows be it at Artpark, Lockport or the Square. I hate the crowds, the ignorant fucks that bump into you, the people that smoke in your face, especially the ones that have no courtesy or concept of personal space, the ones that plant lawn chairs in the middle of a main pathway. I probably missed a few more, OH Wait Tiffany LOL! (or some other suburban female name) giving you a dirty look as your are cheering a great song that you only partially heard as she was SQUEAKING in that Paris/Lindsay voice, yea you know the ones.
Well the Hard Rock in Niagara Falls unveiled their own line-up the best part, You can pay $50 to get away from the masses that are there just because it's free and enjoy the music in their VIP section. There have been so many times over the years where I wish I could have PAID money to enjoy a show at the square to be with people that wanted to experience and hear the show instead of trying to look Hawt at the world's largest outdoor happy hour.
I tell you now if you're a Tragically Hip fan, that $50 will be a small price to pay in comparison the the aggravation you will have to deal with if you want to enjoy the experience. Remember they played a week solid of sold out shows at Artpark last summer, It's going to be F'ing insane! That's not unless you enjoy getting bumped into unsupervised kids in the Fallz as their white trash parents sit on lawn chairs drinking BUSCH totally unaware of what is going on around them. I know I've been to a few outdoor concerts 2 blocks up Falls St at the Casino.

--Music Is Art is a great Charity and glad to hear that money goes to them
--For me the Falls is a long way to go for a show (kinda a tough trek, haven't done it at night in a long time)
--I don't know the Local scene enough or the music enough to know who those bands are. What I mean is I know the Names of the bands but couldn't match it to their music.
--I do think it is a great idea
--I do get that entire there for the scene not for the music, I get why it is annoying but it is also kinda part of the fun as well, well some of it.
-- In terms of being bumped into Ladies I don't mind.
--The thing is anyplace where it is packed you will get bumped into that is something that can't be helped (No Reason to fight just like in a bar you are tipsy just if I hit your drink I should be willing to maybe get you one or not be a dick about it)
There are other places to go see shows where they cost money though. I used to love the showplace wish that was still open. I haven't been to Diablo or Town Ballroom in so long and it is sad. What I wish is that all the Big Bands went someplace other then Darien Lake:
1. I get it is the summer so you want the outside thing
2. During the summer they do the Amusement Park thing
3. I don't drive so forget getting there or getting home
4. I went to one show (Metallica, Jerry Cantrel and days of the new) It was a great time but I think getting out of the lot took about an hour, no thank you. Not getting home just getting out of the lot. I'm not cutting my concert short fuck that......
I miss the old days of the LaSalle Park shows. Granted they didn't have tons of them but They where Fun, Warped Tour and Edgefest where all ways fun. Then for free I saw Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, at the time they where Huge (spanish band on the west, oh man) and I forget who else. But with the Condo's so close that kinda killed that.
(e:vincent) sorry to kinda take over your post:
Does anyone remember when Artfest would have Their street festivals and they would all ways have a Major National Act there, man those where the good times.

eh, they're not really SP anymore. I went to Tampa last year as they were playing there on my birthday (and I lived in Orlando for so long)...it was HORRIBLE. At one point he was standing on stage playing the kazoo for a good 20 minutes. People booed them, Billy told them to leave if they don't like it....was really sad :(
