Thursday Band • Page 132

That's a bind, did you go to any of their other holiday shows at least?

 

Nah I was back home this last year and didn't move to Philly til after the holiday shows the year before so I really wanna go to this years

 

Thursday should tour with Cursive when they drop their new record

 

And play ladies and gentlemen... because duh

 

also do a duet version of the great decay. please.

 

I actually can't get that idea out of my head now. Kasher & Rickly alternating lines haha

"day after day after day ahhhhaaaaAAAAaaaaaaa"

 

I think the song I'm most excited to hear for these shows is How Long Is the Night, the ending to that song is so great and I haven't heard it live yet

 

That's honestly the one thing I feel bad about missing, best part of the record imo

 

Hope you can make it somehow, the one I went to in 16 was very special

 

Sucks that the UK is only getting festival dates, anyone moaning about getting to see FC and WATT headline shows is a bit ungrateful...

Also bet 100% these NYC dates are the "expect the unexpected", Thursday love overdoing the hype

 

Maybe the openers will be the surprise?

Also to the people coming in from out of state...I would highly recommend parking in New Jersey and taking the PATH and subway into Brooklyn. I live in Jersey City and I can get to Music Hall in under an hour. It costs $11 round trip as opposed to crazy tolls and parking fees in the city. Plus I'm assuming the hotels are more reasonable. Bus would be decent too

 

Hmmm...I always go to the holiday shows but I don't know about New York. Although the one year, the last show of the year was in Connecticut and I went last minute on a whim and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen from them.

I booked a trip to see these shows in California so I don't know about these holiday shows.

 

Is it actually right in the city/I’d need a parking garage?
Id be driving from upstate, going to the show, then going to Hauppauge to spend the night. Wondering if it’s worth it at all to go to my sisters first, idk if there’s public transport there into Brooklyn tho.

 

You could take the Long Island RR into Brooklyn but it would be a couple of transfers. I've never driven to Williamsburg for a show, but there are multiple concerts in the area any given night so I'm not sure how you would do with street parking. I assume that lots are less stressful even though the prices are higher.

Probably more time efficient to drive straight to Brooklyn. Worst case you park in Greenpoint and walk, or Bushwick and take the L subway for a short ride.

 

Hmm I will explore these. Thank you!

 

Kind of annoying how you can't combine both shows for one purchase order, but I got both. Don't even know if I'll be able to go when it comes to the time but might as well to be safe.

 

I bought 2 for Full Collapse. Gotta figure out where to stay now

 

Presale for Full Collapse is sold out. Bummer.

Still got my WATT ticket, though.

 

Damn, WATT sold out too. Forgot this was today. Ah well, on to Friday.

 

Another round of NYC shows announced blah blah blah

FML

 

whoaaaaaa Geoff blowin up the rest of the band

 

Got a WATT ticket for the 30th. The 29th apparently sold out before I could secure.

 

Feel like Geoff has done this quite a few times. I think there's a pretty clear line between wanting to seem accessible to fans and publicly airing grievances/throwing bandmates under the bus. There have been a few interviews I've read where he's talking specifically about other members and their lack of interest in being in the band. I'd much rather say, "yeah we tried to book a few things, but schedules didn't work out. Everyone has a family and work, blah blah" instead of what he did.

He also talks about Thursday as "my band" and it's always kinda rubbed me the wrong way.

 

Anyone going to the NYC shows get their e-tickets yet? I received the email confirmation but no actual PDF with tickets and nothing shows up in the MyAXS account either. I wonder if it's intentionally being delayed.

 

It’s only a matter of time until the days drag on and the nights fall off the calendar.
