I'll be there! Who else is going?

Bee tee dubs, Cedar Park is it's own city. If HB or Kit wanna change it it's fine by me though.

*Obligatory stay on topic/no spoilers until after the show warning*

^ Going. This'll be my second time in Austin (first time was about 12 years ago, when I was 16, so I didn't really get to explore the city too much). Expecting a good time to be had by all.

Driving down that afternoon... Trying to talk my wife to call in sick on Monday so we can spend the weekend on Austin.

I'll be there with a friend who's flying in from Florida. We are driving from San Antonio as soon as I'm done with my classes for the day--anyone getting to the venue early, or are y'all just going to head up later on as the timing gets closer? I have never done anything that required being there early, and I'm wondering how early we should be before the show itself is listed. I was thinking we would take some things to eat and hang out until everything's up and running.

I usually get there like an hour before so I can walk around and check out the crowd.

By the way Acension, I was at all those shows in your sig too. Pretty cool

That's awesome! They were great shows. I was a very young Tool fan at my first show, and had never heard Third Eye before--I thought they were just jamming. I finally found out years later that, for whatever reason, my iTunes had never ripped Third Eye from AEnima.

I'll be going as well.
This will be my 9th show but first one that I am going solo and 3rd sober.
Typically I take my sister or a friend or two. None are available for a Monday show.

As a side note:
If memory serves me correctly back in 2010 the traffic patterns/available streets from the venue to I-35 is a nightmare. Long lines and way out of the way detours made getting to and leaving the venue not so much fun.

If you are not familiar with the area and plan on doing some Austin touring might I suggest driving out to the venue a day early to familiarize yourself with the roads so you can bail out to a less crowded street if necessary.
Google maps would probably work as well if you aren't going to be there that early.

Sigh...

Does anyone have an extra ticket or two? Once again, I have failed at ticketmaster and who knows what happened to the TA "presales..." Now, I am unable to see Tool in my hometown of Cedar Park again. If anyone has a couple extra, please email me at psgrantham87@gmail.com and I will gladly throw a little extra on top (but not f'n double the ticket price!). I've been reduced to scouring the abysmal 101x radio station to win some tickets.

Thanks for any help, I hope to see you guys at the show.

I have two extra tickets I need to sell at face value. They are section 119 row M seats 15 and 16. I don't post here enough for PM's to work (mostly just lurker) so send me an email if you are interested emcanear14@gmail.com . I bought these off Ticketmaster the day they went on sale expecting them to be the best I could get but I broke down and got some better ones off stubhub, thanks.

I was at those shows as well Ascension5, except for the 2010. I did see Tool in Ft. Worth in 2007 though.

I got a VIP for this show. I'm usually a cheap bastard and still don't know why the hell I dropped that much money on a show, but I'm excited to see what it entails.

Anyone else get VIP for this specific show? I haven't received an e-mail with the details yet, just curious if anyone else has. I imagine that will come closer to the show.

I'll most likely be skipping my afternoon class to get there early, then I have a test the next day (woo-hoo).

I'll be there! It will be my 6th tool show, but my first one on the floor. Cedar Park Center was great for tool in 2010. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Sorry guys I tried to post this here last week but it didn't get approved until today and I already sold the tickets.

Hey, would someone be willing to pick up a poster for me, please? It's my hometown and sadly, I'll be missing this one. Please PM me to work out arrangements. I really need this one, guys!!

What university are you coming from? I'm at Trinity in SA.

Also, I'm thinking at this point I will get to the venue several hours early--is anyone else doing this, and what are your thoughts on taking a battery-powered guitar amp and my electric and just putting it in the trunk during the show? Part of me is concerned about someone somehow opening my trunk...just thought it'd be cool if we're going to be hanging out there for a while beforehand. If anyone else has a VIP pass, I'll see you there (I think someone had asked about them earlier in this thread). If this is just a completely hair-brained idea, be open about it, I understand!

Somebody help a lady out!

If I was hitting this show I certainly would. Hope it works out for you.

I'm coming from Waco, so unfortunately I will be missing my evening class and may even skip the morning lecture. This is one of the few things I would ditch school for. I had been thinking about taking my little acoustic guitar to play around on. Seems like a good way to pass some time. Hopefully no one would be a douche and break into a vehicle during the show, but I'm sure it happens. Might avoid showing off anything that looks too valuable.

I have VIP to Cedar Park so I will be there with you.

I will be coming down from McKinney....North of Dallas. This will be my 19th. First one in Austin though.

Just let me know.

Given the risk, I'm not going to bring my electric. I will bring my acoustic with me, maybe we can jam some before the show or VIP stuff I had to move an exam to go to this show after finding out about the 1 p.m. entrance time--we'll see how that goes. Looking forward to the show, and to maybe meeting you there, my friend and I are looking to arrive at 12-12:30.

Yeah that would be cool. As of right now the forecast has a chance of rain so we'll see if that does anything or not.

I just got an e-mail that NIN will be in Austin on August 17th, so I'll probably snag some tickets to that show.

Boo! Sun/Mon chance of rain is 80% and 55F. Gunna need a poncho and a trash bag for my print tube me thinks.

I've got a sneaking suspicion that this venue will get a pink skull (SG). They used the color in NZ last year and its about the only color they haven't used yet.

Yeah, I was hoping the weather would be nicer so we could have a good time in the parking lot while waiting around...

We can have fun... just with ponchos and N winds... SMH
