Us kids know :p

4/24/2008 9:26:09 AM

i just got my tix. no line at all .plenty of tix =)

4/24/2008 9:32:22 AM

we got there around 7 and ate breakfast while sitting at a table outside, it was rather pleasant. I was happy with the turn out and efficiency of getting the tickets out. LET THE COUNTDOWN BEGIN.

4/24/2008 9:33:30 AM

^we must've been right behind you guys. we were at that table right inside. I was with the older dude in the black (no homo)

4/24/2008 9:34:39 AM

we were at a table right outside as well. we probably got there around 6:45, which was completely unnecessary. but at least while out we went and voted.

4/24/2008 9:37:48 AM

Ha, i was directly behind him in line, my friends and i noticed he had his voter registration card in his back pocket

4/24/2008 9:39:10 AM

he certainly did. Dude comes prepared. I was the blonde guy right next to him in the green short sleeved button up and ray bans

4/24/2008 9:42:05 AM

I was the dude with the beard in the track jacket

4/24/2008 9:46:11 AM

yep, definitely saw you. I liked how the girls handing out tickets had never even heard of arcade fire

4/24/2008 9:48:16 AM

funny how no one has even talked about superchunk playing haha

i saw them open for get up kids back in the day.. let's just say i'm not too excited about seeing them again

4/24/2008 10:00:07 AM

gotta give respect to superchunk. if it weren't for them, who knows where arcade fire would be right now

4/24/2008 10:01:46 AM

crap are there still tix? or ways to get them?

I wish I could have gotten off work this morning to get some but no avail. Only after 5 could it happen.

4/24/2008 10:12:59 AM

I have no idea if tickets are available, but I would say you have a very good chance if you go now. There seemed to be plenty to go around this morning. There were maybe 50-100 people in line at 830. I was the guy in the blue polo at the table inside.

Also, I noticed the ticket said Ticket Required. Admission First Come First Serve. I wonder if we are going to have to get there early to make sure we get in.

I showed up at the Durham Bulls Park at 8:30... I was in the first 10 in line.

I had my tickets and in my car going to work by 9:05.

The Planetarium supposedly had 500+ people, but it sounds like none of us had trouble at the Morning Times or the DAP.

Are they "overselling" this show, since the tix still say "first come, first serve"?

4/24/2008 10:41:53 AM

that's what I'm thinking

4/24/2008 10:46:06 AM

God damnit... so we waited in one line and now have to pray we get into the show, period.

Jeez. That's sort of deflating if that's the case.

4/24/2008 10:50:03 AM

Hit the Morning Times at 8:30 (was eerie the number of people I recognized), and then we immediately drove to Graham to get tickets to the Greensboro show.

Carpool offer remains open for anyone going to the Greensboro show.

4/24/2008 11:19:35 AM

Rolled out of bed at eight, hit Times at 8:15, glad we didn't go any earlier.

4/24/2008 11:23:22 AM

shit, if they can be reproduced then upload a high res pdf of it and ill get to work

4/24/2008 11:33:43 AM

the only challenge would be finding the correct red cardstock

yes. they probably have TONS of tickets. definitely "overselling" (or over handing out since it isn't selling). thats why it says first come first serve on it + ticket required. i'd defintely get there early. i'm planning on it!!

4/24/2008 12:02:29 PM

i didn't bother going

but now maybe i should

although i'm not too sure about wedging myself into carrboro at 10 AM to make sure i get in

blargh

4/24/2008 12:04:30 PM

If the weather is nice, I won't mind going early. I work in a cube all day, so seeing any daylight whatsoever is a good time for me.

4/24/2008 12:21:32 PM

in hand.

walked down to the courthouse to vote, and walked back up the road and got a second one for my roommate. wearing sunglasses to keep a low profile, of course

4/24/2008 12:27:34 PM

So are all you bitches voting for Hillary or what?

4/24/2008 12:43:38 PM

Gravel FTW

4/24/2008 1:00:48 PM

So.. what fucking time is it going to be neccessary to get out there next week? I know they're letting folks in at 1 pm ---- I hadn't planned on getting there until a little after 12 pm.

4/24/2008 1:25:04 PM

I kind of doubt it's gonna be a huge issue. I'll probably get there at like 12:45 or something.

4/24/2008 1:32:30 PM

have arcade fire been touring lately? I thought after last fall (awesome in columbus OH w/ LCD soundsystem) they were done for awhile.

will they have the organ/neon bible/video screen/craziness setup on that stage? seems unlikely.
I don't even know if we should expect a full-length show, or just a few songs apiece and some videos about obama. anyone have any idea what's going down? my friend who is an intern at Merge doesn't even know too much

4/24/2008 1:46:00 PM

^I assume just a few songs, but I'm getting really excited about it

and I feel so bad for the chick manning the booth at the Mornings Times. I got my ticket around 11:45 and she said that no one had talked to her for a while before that

4/24/2008 2:10:19 PM

Here are the setlists from their Obama rally shows in Ohio. They were the only band for those shows, but they also played 2 shows each day, so who knows what it will be like here.

4/24/2008 2:35:41 PM

we rolled up there at 2pm and got tickets, no problem. she still had like two big stacks left.

even though it's a short setlist, goddamn, superchunk will be there too!

4/24/2008 5:06:01 PM

Gimme Some Truth is my favorite solo john lennon song. this rules!

4/25/2008 1:42:07 PM

Got my tickets to the Carrboro show and to another Obama rally coming up in Chapel Hill. My ears are still ringing a little from the recent Anti-flag concert in Carrboro. Luckily I'll be able to walk to this show from where I work.

4/25/2008 2:37:44 PM

I've heard a lot of rumors about how this place is impossible to fence in, so it's going to be difficult to only allow those in with tickets (not to mention it's been over-distributed, of course).

This makes me worry about my original plan to show up at noon after working a half day.

4/25/2008 5:49:40 PM

i bet the tickets don't even matter, they just want you to sign up for obama shit

4/25/2008 6:00:23 PM

we're planning on getting there around 11, if not earlier

4/25/2008 6:01:14 PM

attn: wolfweb

we got word today that the friday of the rally is a wake county school holiday.

there will be all sorts of high school everywhere

4/25/2008 10:11:47 PM

OMGPRETEEN

4/25/2008 11:50:17 PM

just saying, hundreds upon hundreds of barely-able-to-vote kids are going to be arriving at 9am to assure they get seats.

could put a damper on your plans.

4/26/2008 12:02:17 AM

I think it should be 18 and up only since motherfuckers can't vote anyway.

4/26/2008 12:06:08 AM

everytime you close your eyes - lies lies

4/26/2008 12:07:33 AM

i can't imagine many high school assholes listen to the arcade fire, much less superchunk

4/26/2008 12:24:12 AM

i am only judging this from the high schoolers that i work with..

at the galaxy..

Are you kidding? I mean, really?

4/26/2008 12:36:23 AM

i dunno. i did go to a rural high school.

4/26/2008 12:42:13 AM

dont worry i cant imagine it either (also rural)

4/26/2008 12:19:22 PM

what's more rural than a hurdy gurdy?
