So whats this about a venue change to Axis from The Middle East?? Bigger? smaller?? why???

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 12:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

MUCH bigger. Less obstructed view. Right outside Fenway Park! (Not that it has dick to do w/ squat, of course.) (Or am I thinking of the Avalon?)

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 13:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

noodles-just got an email on drone on mailing list. The reason is that the original was 19+ years old allowed whereas the new one is 18+ (I deleted the email but I'm sure thats what it said).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 13:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Daver, Axis and Avalon are right next door to each other.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 13:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

Its the other way around I thought, Middle East was 18+, this place is 19+.

But the big question, is it near any good Indian food places?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 14:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

It isn't too far from Central Square, which has a ton of Indian places. Actually, there are a couple on Mass Ave between Commonwealth and Huntington that you might want to check out (and there's a very good one on Huntington, but that might be stretching the common definition of "near"; it's probably a 20 minute walk away from Landsdowne St).

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 14:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Dan, I KNEW that, you goof. I'm just trying to recall if there's a substantial difference between the two that would make my confusion worth worrying about.

BTW, there's a Howard Johnson's about 10 minutes away from the Axis, in case you're looking for temporary residence. Just don't take MY room.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 14:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

We'll see about that, punk. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 15:08 (twenty-one years ago) link

Axis has the smaller main dance floor but has another club upstairs.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 15:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

Capacity is around what?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 15:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Went ahead and booked at that Hojo to be on the safe side -- if anyone else is interested, you can do it online, won't cost you anything and you can cancel up to 6 pm on the day you start there.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 15:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Capacity at Axis is 1100.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 15:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hm...wonder if they'll sell more tickets? Then again they hadn't sold out yet anyway.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 21 August 2002 15:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

hmmm...friends in Boston/Cambridge area...keep asking me to come visit them...haven't seen a few in three years...ilx meetup...

nah. I'll skip it.

! ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 August 2002 14:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

it looks like i'll be over in boston on that w/e, although i dount i'll be going to the thing itself (i don't really like any of the bands, apart from bardo pond).

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 22 August 2002 15:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

There's apparently going to be a separate Saturday show featuring some of the Terrastock bands -- perhaps Bardo Pond might be on that bill? But we'll see -- I'll probably start up a Boston ILX meet thread soon with more general details so vague plans can be hashed out.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 August 2002 15:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

what!?!?! they switched to axis!?!?

barf.

― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 22 August 2002 16:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

You're the first person I know who's complained about that! What's yer beef with it?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 22 August 2002 16:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

I lurve Axis. It's scummy and dingy!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 22 August 2002 16:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

I am nu-ILX. If I come, will everyone pretend to not know me? ;-(

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 23 August 2002 01:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

You are part of the collective and will be made welcome. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 23 August 2002 05:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ah good. For a moment last night I was affected by my nu-ILX insecurity, even though it has never stopped me from writing bad posts.
Due to a complex financial situation, I cannot buy tickets until next week, but assuming they will still be available, I am going. I just found out last night that an a friend of mine was going. He had wrongly assumed that I didn't like psychedelic music, so he didn't mention the show to me, but now he is giving me a ride. Yay!

I have an idea, related to the Sept. 11 2002 thread on ILE. Lets start the "I am coming to Boston and/or going to Terrastock" thread on Sept. 11 so we will all have a good reason not to watch TV.

As for Axis V. Middle East... If I remember correctly, there are more obstructed views at the Middle East. It has been a while since I have been though. If I am wrong, correct me oh denziens of Baaahstun.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 23 August 2002 12:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

I know a bunch of Bostonites who said "Oh, it moved to the Axis? Be prepared for bad sound" or "Moving it to the Axis isnt the way to convince me to go"... what gives? (Besides the fact that its on Landsdowne St....)

― insectifly, Friday, 23 August 2002 12:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

I dunno about the sound... when I saw Deep Dish there it was good. Maybe it is different for bands. Also, Deep Dish was downstairs so I can't speak for the upstairs club...

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Friday, 23 August 2002 12:45 (twenty-one years ago) link

Thread for ILX meet-ups or whatever for Terrastock now started here, so please register yer interest and thoughts!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 August 2002 01:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh, and word went around that the Hyatt Regency is now pretty much booked, though they're trying to squeeze in a couple of rooms here and there. Beyond that they recommended the Hojo referred to above, along with some other local spots.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 26 August 2002 20:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

What were the other spots, Ned? I might know something about them and can advise/warn away/properly set expectations.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 26 August 2002 21:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hm, I'll have to dig up the message now, might have already deleted it...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 27 August 2002 14:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

we wound up moving to a holiday inn because they ran out of the 'special' rooms and the remaining ones were $250 a night. a bit _PRICEY_.

TERRASTOCK 6 RUMBLINGS!

No place/lineup yet, but April 4-6, 2006 is the latest rumor.

― Leeeeeeeeee (Leee), Monday, 10 October 2005 18:33 (eighteen years ago) link

PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

― L0GGY, Monday, 10 October 2005 21:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Took 'em long enough. We should start a new thread.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 October 2005 21:20 (eighteen years ago) link

And indeed thus:

Terrastock 6 rumors, gossip, etc.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 October 2005 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

There already was a Terrastock in Providence! But if they had it again there, that would rule--how could I miss it? J
