Hi everyone ! Who is going to the Worcester MA show Saturday 8/9 ? My sister in law and I have 6th row ! I've been waiting for months and months it seems ! We won't make it there in time for the buses although since they are just about 1-2 hours away in Hartford CT the night before they may just drive there after the Hartford show !

I'm getting excited !! I have a gift for David I hope I can get to the stage during his set.

Nice seats! That is great.

I expect to be there in the afternoon, but I have no idea if we will be able to see David outside. Excellent seats are a sure thing.

I'll be there on Saturday and I couldn't be more excited!!

I plan on getting there at noon to hopefully meet the Idols. I've never gotten to a concert early to try and meet the performers, so I'm not really sure how the whole process works. Does anyone whose seen the tour already and met the Idols (especially David!) have any tips? Is noon a good time to get there? How do I know where to go when I arrive? From the sound of things, it appears that the Idols' buses usually arrive around 2pm and they come out to meet fans. Does that mean there's a really good chance of meeting them?

Sorry I have so many questions -- I just want to make sure I don't miss out on anything! Thank you so much in advance to anyone who can help out!

im also planning to get there in the afternoon, im hoping to meet david before the show!! im getting sooo excited!! 2 daysssssss

i am going too - not sure how early i want to go. hmmmm. if they are already going to be there, is there going to be a meet-n-greet? i am so giddy. i may be bringing my mum but i am not entirely sure! lol! is anybody else coming from rhode island?

anybody know anything about this venue - where they will be, etc?

Im going on Saturday! So excited! I can't believe it's tomorrow!!

I plan to get there early afternoon and hang out.

I will be there tomorrow! Dont think I will be there early though... just looking forward to hearing DC live!

I have been to this venue many times before. Its hard to describe the streets but the buses are obviously on one of the sides with the sloping driveways going under the venue. Looking at the venue from the front, its the left side - across from the mall. Not sure about the timing so anyone going early good luck. I'm hoping to wait afterwards. Also, there are usually many radio stations set up out front with some contests and stuff before the show. They'll give away t-shirts, and have drawings for better seats - even front row. And of course at the end, people hand out frozen pop tarts for the ride home !!!

HAVE FUN !

Amy

is it possible to see them after? or do they usually just take off? my mom said she would go but she isnt into it enough to really want to hang out all day AND after so I am trying to pick my battle, so to speak if she goes!

Guys:

Rickey at rickey.org needs cellcasters for the Worcester show on Saturday night. If anyone can help out please email Rickey at rickey@rickey.org.

Thanks,
Annette

PS if you need an explanation of the cell cast - PM me.

I attended a show here 2 years ago (AI5) and had very good luck meeting everyone after the show. The buses park under the venue in a garage but they opened the doors, set up a barricade and everyone came out to sign after the show was over.

That was my experience 2 years ago. I won't be at this venue this time. I'm going to the Manchester, NH show Sunday night!

They park under the venue? Does that mean that there probably isn't a very good chance they'll come out before the show? And do you know where they parked exactly, like what side or anything? I don't want to get there early and end up missing them!! Thanks!

Hi I also was at the show in worcester on 8/9 and i did see you throw the bear on stage. Amy
