Just called the venue, message said show is cancelled due to construction delays.

5/10/2006 7:18:01 PM

i've been told by my buddy in charlotte that it isnt cancelled, just moved to the forum.

5/10/2006 9:27:16 PM

e-mail from the venue (i guess they sent it to everyone that ordered etix):
The Roots show has been Cancelled due to
construction delays. You will be refunded for you
tickets shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Amos' Southend

5/10/2006 10:10:43 PM

5/10/2006 10:20:44 PM

they sent another e-mail about an hour ago:

The Roots show is on!!!!!

5/10/2006 11:10:50 PM

5/10/2006 11:51:44 PM

Everyone who bought advance tickets thru etix.com
will get in free at the FORUM located at 300 n

5/11/2006 2:43:02 AM

i'm meeting up with a mate (who has tickets off etix, but he bought htem) and getting tickets off him.. not quite sure what is going on.

5/11/2006 10:57:06 AM

forum is not in any worse part of town than amos'

5/11/2006 2:30:19 PM

the forum sounds like the supper club up here... i bet $50 that the bouncers wear bulletproof jackets

5/11/2006 3:58:27 PM

so... um, i heard the show pretty much sucked.

can we get a few reviews up in here please?

5/12/2006 11:58:36 PM

check out the forums on okayplayer.com if you haven't. show sounded like it was pretty awesome but the venue and situation apparently sucked, which is what i expected and why i didn't go.

5/13/2006 8:43:57 AM

i saw the roots play the big free concert at ohio state and it was 3.5 hours of NON STOP, get down, sickness. i'd like to read some reviews of this one.
