2009-06-16 Fox Theater - St. Louis, MO - Official Roll Call Thread

[VA $l!m]

I would consider divorcing my wife to hit this.

Just kidding.

But seriously she would leave me if I told her I was flying to St. Louis of all places to see Phish.

Why else would you go to St. Louis.

i can think of a few reasons... but thats just cause i live in nebraska.

My wife said I could go, because I have a free plane ticket and it is just one night.  If I told her I was ditching work for 4 days to see a 3 show run, she would not be feeling it.  She also has no idea how much these tickets cost, but I have put out some feelers to those that might be able to help and will wait to see what they come back with.  I think it would be worth it to fly in for the one show, since the venue looks so nice.  Flight is 5 1/2 hours from Portland including one connection/layover.....

emphasis on 'rock'

that pic never ceases to make me cringe  :|

Welp, I got a ticket....a plane ticket that is, so I will be there.  I might be on the sidewalk, but I'll be there.....

I'll be there with you, hopefully both of us celebrating that we score a couple tix!  :banana:

Any idea where you're staying or how you're getting around?

[Caravan2001]

Not sure if I am renting a car or what.  Right now I have a room at the Airport Renaissance (Marriott), which is rad for an airport hotel, and it is $69.00 with AAA discount, which knocks a $100 off their rate.  The regular Marriott is $169, $159 with AAA, so I booked the Renaissance obviously.  The hotel could change, but when I saw the rate I reserved it.  I am flying back out at 6:30AM, so I am leaning toward the airport hotel, especially since I am solo....If Slim picks me up in the Lex ( :wink:) I might just roll with him and cab it back after the show....If I have to do a rental I will, but trying to keep this trip as low budget as I can...

haha, totally forget about that as well. I feel like the backstory to that meeting would make that photo complete. as in completely funny.

Keep me updated caravan. When does your flight get in? I could also possibly swing by the airport, although depending on the time of day my kids may be along for the ride.

Gotta love that AAA discount.

[whyweigh5.0]

Id love to be able to just get a room and crash out in St. Louis after the show.  Might actually do that since there is a day off before Star Lake

Cool...yeah, the AAA discount is usually only $10 or so bucks, but this one is a "AAA Special", which I have never seen come up on the Marriott site...Anyway,  I will keep you posted.  I think I land at 1:15 which gives me time to hit the hotee and head to the show....Haven;t been to St. Louis in a looong time, looking forward to it....Are you from there?  How far is the drive from the airport to the venue?  I could get a hotel close to the venue, even though the Fox website says the closest ones are downtown, so I think with an early flight, the airport hotel is the way to go...Not like I am going to be raging after the show, I get back at noon with the time change will be heading straight to work  :|
