I'm gonna try and go. I know my sister likes them, she's gonna flip when I tell her.

Sweet! When it gets closer to the show let me know for sure if you two are going and we can try to hang out beforehand. ^_^

Sayda · « **Reply #51 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:40:27 am »

Roger that. I told my sister and she flipped. Her first thought is to sneak past security onto the backstage. Which honestly, with what we've done in the past, would be a piece of cake. ~ ~

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #52 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:41:33 am »

I doubt you would have to. The way the Hawthorne is set up, most of the bands usually will come out and chill at their merch tables before/after their sets.

Sayda · « **Reply #53 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:43:16 am »

WELL THERE YOU GO. I'm not a hardcore fan, though. My sister is. Unless she somehow got to talk to them, I wouldn't want to stand in line to get to.
Or maybe I would. :-O

Yeah, there's not usually any lines you'd have to wait in. It's pretty nice in the regard of how bands will come out and hang around with the fans. I mean, ultimately it's an individual decision, but it seems like most of the bands I've seen there have done that.

Sayda · « **Reply #55 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:00:42 pm »

Yeah, but with all the fans, how would you have even a 30 second conversation with any of the bandmates?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #56 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:11:04 pm »

Well, if you can keep a band member's attention and it is clear that you're talking to them, most people will be considerate enough to just chill and wait or something, but interruptions haven't seemed to be much of a problem as far as I can tell.

Sayda · « **Reply #57 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:14:10 pm »

But we are talking about Dir en Grey. Crazed Anime fans aren't always the most considerate.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #58 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:26:05 pm »

Eh, then you just tell them to bugger off, lol.

I dunno, I still don't think you have a whole lot to worry about. I mean, you get to talk to them or you don't; it's not the end of the world.

Sayda · « **Reply #59 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:27:45 pm »

I just want to avoid the thrashing around part. ~ ~

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #60 on:** August 15, 2008, 06:30:39 pm »

I'm excited. I want a picture with them if possible...uwa ~ haha

I think that if it was possible, everyone that's going that are fans of Dir En Greu would want one as well.
Including myself. >.>

Sayda · « **Reply #65 on:** August 21, 2008, 11:28:53 am »

I bought tickets last night! Eve we'll meet up with you and Kahlan beforehand.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #66 on:** August 21, 2008, 11:53:47 am »

Cool. ^_^ This'll definitely be an eventful day. I'll be thinking up fun places to go/eat before the show.

Sayda · « **Reply #67 on:** August 21, 2008, 11:58:56 am »

Sweet deal. What time should we meet?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #68 on:** August 21, 2008, 12:04:29 pm »

Umm, hmm, I dunno yet. Depends when Kahlan is off work that day. The show's at 7:00, right? We could probably meet up at 5:00 or so, but we can figure things out better later on. We've got months, heh.

Sayda · « **Reply #69 on:** August 21, 2008, 12:41:36 pm »

That's true, it's not till Christmas time. :-O

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #70 on:** August 21, 2008, 02:10:04 pm »

And their new album will be out by then, so we'll have to check that out.

vampirek_yaoi · « **Reply #71 on:** August 21, 2008, 02:18:33 pm »

Wooot! I got my tickets today, I'm so exited

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #72 on:** August 21, 2008, 02:21:14 pm »

TheInsanePuck · « **Reply #73 on:** August 21, 2008, 06:39:40 pm »

I have no idea whats over by the hawthorne and everything since I never worked in that neck of the woods n stuff... so yeah

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #74 on:** August 21, 2008, 09:47:39 pm »

Hoooooh Yeeeauh! (Macho Man was my dawg, lol. He was in Spider-man, too).

And as for things out in that area, there's tons of fun shops and places to just troll on Hawthorne. It is well known for it's vintage shops and alternative apparel places. There's also Biwa, a Japanese food place, nearby the Hawthorne. Jackpot Records is there....yeah, lots of stuff.

TheInsanePuck · « **Reply #75 on:** August 21, 2008, 09:50:20 pm »

sweetness lol

Hooooooh YEEEAAHHH (loved mach man randy savage aswell... that and the ultimate warrior)

yeah I just bought my tickets so I ish good to go -dances- luckily there is a bar inside the hawthorne so yeah good times for me

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #76 on:** August 21, 2008, 09:51:15 pm »

haha, yeah I need to check the bar out also. I've not been in there yet, but as I am going to a show there next week I may stop in. See if they have any absinthe. ^_^

TheInsanePuck · « **Reply #77 on:** August 21, 2008, 09:52:43 pm »

oh dude absinthe is the demon... lol I bought some and yeah man its bitter like hardcore but yeah if you like jager you will love absinthe lol

and yeah when the show comes around I will meet you for a drink before a hearty night of moshing lol

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #78 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:00:27 pm »

You're on, sounds like the perfect plan. ^_^

TheInsanePuck · « **Reply #79 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:02:40 pm »

I know isn't it

I am so looking foward to just moshing to dir en grey I mean its like 4 months away but I am still giddy about it
that and having a fellow anime mosher there it will be awesome and drinks added into the mixture SWEET!!!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #80 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:07:04 pm »

haha, no kidding. Dir En Grey really are the perfect sloshed moshing music, lol. (Not that I plan to get drunk or anything, but I can see how a drink or two would really add to the show experience for that particular band, heh.

TheInsanePuck · « **Reply #81 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:08:29 pm »

for real and yeah I do not plan on getting drunk there
A way too much money

B it would kinda subtract from the show

so yeah one or two drinks and yeah it will equal best show ever with good moshing

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #82 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:13:48 pm »

Well yeah, for sure, I'm looking forward to this show like none other. I have yet to look up The Human Abstract, but I'm sure they will add to a great night too.

TheInsanePuck · « **Reply #83 on:** August 21, 2008, 10:15:07 pm »

yeah I looked them up they have a myspace and stuff kinda listened to em for abit they are decent but no doubt dir en grey is what is gonna pull like no other

neko_goes_nyaaa · « **Reply #84 on:** August 26, 2008, 09:48:06 pm »

There's a really awesome Pizza place that's not far from the area,
kinda reminds me of Pagliacci's in Seattle. Perhaps a group of us can
meet up there a few hours before the show. I also wouldn't reccomend
getting drunk before the concert, as there will be many packed bodies
and yer bound to overheat very easily if you have alchie in yer system.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #85 on:** August 26, 2008, 09:56:21 pm »

Lol. This will be my first concert. And I will be murdered. Maimed. Destroyed. Just all-around annihilated. *sixteen-year-old, 120 lbs, 5'4", physically weak, pale, and somewhat timid in person*

Especially since I am DETERMINED to get as close to the front as possible for my first concert ever. 8D

saya-chan14 · « **Reply #86 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:12:25 pm »

im going out to this Thai place right down the street from were its at for dinner the day of the concert and any one want to go with me and a friend we don't have a time yet

Great video, and I love that song. I have tremendously high hopes for this new album. Looks like it'll be a great one.

Hello Kalashnikov · « **Reply #89 on:** September 03, 2008, 02:32:52 pm »

Does the Hawthorne have advance ticket sales at the box office? I hate the extra online fees.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #90 on:** September 03, 2008, 03:07:44 pm »

I don't know if you can buy tickets from their box office, but you usually can buy them at ticketswest/ticketmaster locations (Safeway, Fred Meyer). You still get some fees, but I don't think it is as much as online.

Hello Kalashnikov · « **Reply #91 on:** September 03, 2008, 04:46:27 pm »

OK, thanks!

uraharafreak · « **Reply #92 on:** September 07, 2008, 10:56:55 am »

SpearXXI · « **Reply #98 on:** September 14, 2008, 02:38:10 am »

I'm seriously thinking about going. I'm not sure if I'm going to be going with anyone, since a lot of my friends in this state don't have the same tastes in music as me. lol

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #99 on:** September 14, 2008, 08:48:39 am »

Well, you can certainly find any of us who are going and rock out, I'm sure.
