General Phoenix Area Shows

[Godspeed]

you should plan to pay for parking. you can get some validation at arrogant butcher, but it is hard to find free parking (empty meters) for shows since they close off all the meters near the venue during a big show.

Okay, I'll definitely plan on doing so. I don't care to pay for parking; I just want my car to be there after the show. Do you guys know if there will be beer, etc... at the show? I've never been to this venue.

[Godspeed]

Thanks to everyone else who made recommendations. Page 120. Got it!

i generally search for open meters myself, there is no reason to pay for parking in arizona!!! if you get there early enough (but still after 5 or 6, whenever they stop charging), you can find meters a few blocks down. i also search west of US airways. my car is always there lol.

there will be beer at the show and food in several locations. i believe there are even bars with hard liquor, but i could be wrong. i think my dad and i stopped at one during the black keys. but it's a sports arena, so expect to pay sports arena prices.

Mangum tickets acquired!

Mangum tickets acquired!

Will it be worth $35 to see him at the Crescent if I am an extremely fairweather fan of Neutral Milk Hotel?

[LickTheLizzard]

Yes absolutely worth it. Mangum will sell out today. Crescent tweeted that there are not many tickets left.

I'm in the same boat. Not sure if I would attend the Rialto show if I couldn't get in for free...

[LickTheLizzard]

...and they're gone.

[captncrzy]

I'm not surprised. He probably could have played and sold out the Orpheum.

It would be worth every penny.

Well...that made my decision easy.

so one of my co-workers is the drummer for warsaw. i didn't know they are still around, but they are apparently playing with the toasters next month. i'm going i bought an extra ticket. anyone care to join me? not exactly the biggest toasters fan anymore, but sounds like a swell show. been ages since i've seen warsaw, probably around the time boston's was still around :x

Ask him if he remembers drinking on an off-night in Vail, CO (late 90s) that led to everyone getting kicked out of the West Vail Lodge because someone pissed in the hotel lobby. He might not since Warsaw has had a bunch of rotating members around the Poland brothers.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Are you that person who pissed in the hotel lobby, Mark?

[Devin the Dude]

If you're feeling a little cheap, Tilted Kilt isn't a terrible option. Not the most inexpensive but decent bar food and drinks to boot. Better than garbage like Hard Rock Cafe.

HAH! And you people think you're above Riverside.. mothafucka.

[LickTheLizzard]

If anyone comes across an extra Mangum @ Crescent ticket, I'm looking to buy one.

[insbordnat]

HAH! And you people think you're above Riverside.. mothafucka.

Having lived in LA for 28 years, yes, Phoenix is def above Riverside, Mothafucka.

is anyone going to wax tailor monday at crescent? apparently my girlfriends are going for someone's birthday. depending on how i feel after ben folds five, i may go.

[faxman75]

I missed out the Mangum tickets but i'm ok with it. I actually expected it to not sell out for a week. We are only talking about 500 tickets so I guess that's not surprising. I'm a casual fan and got my fill at ATP in 2011 but I still would have checked this show out because it's such a small venue close to home.

Full disclosure - I am one of the resident DJ's on Wednesdays

[insbordnat]

Why in gods green earth would you plan for such "phenomenal" DJs on a fucking Wednesday night? Not trying to be a dick but some of us have to work

[amyzzz]

No one wants to be in Phoenix on a Friday/Saturday night. They want to be in LA.

[faxman75]

I know people that hit up Bar Smith every single Wednesday for the DJ's. They don't even show up until 11PM. It's my goal to somehow attend one of these and still make it to work the next morning. I assume cocaine help ... or something.

[chairmenmeow47]

i just can't do the weeknight thing with my job. like i would have loved to have gone to wax tailor at crescent, but fuck that monday night shit.

[amyzzz]

I used to do that when I was 21 and didn't have a job.

In case of Coachella conflicts:

Father John Misty @ Crescent Ballroom on May 5th.

[LickTheLizzard]

If anyone is on the fence about FJM, I definitely suggest seeing them live. I still don't love the album, but Tillman is an incredible showman. The set is packed with humor and his voice is excellent live. The on stage banter is worth the price of admission alone.

Most of the DJs work 9-5's as well. If we can do it, you can do it!

Ditto.

James Zabiela- Wed. 2.10.13 @ Bar Smith!!

I have two tickets to Louis C.K. on February 15th for the 7:00 PM show. The seats are in Section A-1, row 9, seats 3 and 4. I'll take face value for the pair. Just send me a message if interested.
