Terrastock 5 announced -- Boston!

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.

[snicker]

! ;-)

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).

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.

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

barf.

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

I lurve Axis. It's scummy and dingy!

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

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

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.

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....)

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...

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

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.

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

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

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_.

Revive! I'll be staying at the HoJo near the venue, hope to see a fair amount of you at the shows if you're going!

TERRASTOCK 6 RUMBLINGS!

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

PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

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

And indeed thus:

Terrastock 6 rumors, gossip, etc.

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