For those going to the 3/17 show, I just noticed this;

BB King Blues Club & Grill
•Mar•17Thu STREAMS OF WHISKEY - The Music Of THE POGUES
04:00 PM Tix $10

Looks like all shows except Detroit and Washington DC still have tix available, at least according to ticket master.

Nope, I just got on the ROMT website and ordered about a month ago.

They're a local NY band that plays only the music of Shane MacGowan and The Pogues. They occasionally post on the FB page and have one of their own, thought oddly not listing dates past Friday.

You can justify either option - there's a wide variety of places in DC and B'more to stay - the commuter rail (MARC) between the two is easy and not too expensive. I used to live in DC and now am a NJ resident, but work requires me to go to the DC office 2x per month, so I stay downtown often (in fact, I'm in the DC office as I'm writing this). Usually I stay at the Comfort Inn - Convention Center http://tinyurl.com/62sf8t8 which isn't too fancy, but isn't bad either - it's a converted apartment building. I get a discount booking through our corporate travel, but a quick peek for that weekend in March says the lowest rate is $153. Last night I stayed in the oldest hotel in downtown DC, the Harrington http://hotel-harrington.com/. As one would imagine, it's a funky old place comparable to hotels in Europe (odd layouts, etc.) and a little shabby on the edges, but it's clean and fantastically located for touring DC - a block from the Metro Center subway, walking distance from the Smithsonian Museums/Mall area, etc. Their regular room rates are $125 for a small double (take the word small seriously) and $145 for a small queen (which I stayed in and was quite comfortable).

Can't comment on accomodations in Charm City - I never stayed in a hotel there, just up and back from DC.

Hope that helps.

I decided to stay in baltimore and transit back and forth. Got a ticket for the baltimore symphony orchestra's celtic performance on Sunday the 13th. Not too sure about showing up drunk to THAT show though...

Go on fro, I dare ya! I fookin' double-dare ya!

barney, just for you i'm taking a flask full of whiskey and having a photo taken of me in my suit, tie, and smug fuck smile

As far as I can tell there are at least three British based Medusans (plus their significant others) heading over to New York for the St James Cagney day gig, Clarkycat, RICHB and myself, any others heading over?

Will the occasion be marked on the 17th by a change to the lyrics of Sally Mac' to "Well St Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born"?

Fro, you're easy to lead astray.

[phro37]

i like to think i lead myself to the edge. i'm just easily convinced once i get there

anyone who did the pre-sale for march 17 get their tickets yet? i know there's still time, but one can not start shitting one's pants from worry too soon, can one?

I agree Phro, getting mildly nervous here as well.....no sign of tix yet even though it's 2 months away, I like my tickets in hand (or at will call!)

The pant shitting is well underway in my house. 1) over tickets 2) over plane journey 3) because I don't get out much these days (by choice) and NY is big and scary 4) who's going to look after the cats in the way I like them to be looked after 4) Will Shane be o.k. on the day 5) 3 non Pogues fans are coming with me.

Apart from that I'm really excited!

1. if worse comes to worse we can sue the band (sorry phil but that's just the answer to things these days)
2. there's nothing to worry about as long as you don't crash
3. that's why YOU gotta be bigger and scarier. show me your mean face!
4. bring the cats!
4 part 2. if you go all three days the odds are a little better
5. you can always leave those three clowns home to mind the cats if the cats don't come!

Will all be fine:

1, Ticketmaster won't even post or email to the uk, so we have to fly thousands of miles to pick up at the door, in the good faith they will be there.
2, Last time we flew out it was a whole 40 minutes after the ash cloud air ban, we also have BA strikes, and one snowflake closes all UK airports.
3, It's not as scary as many areas of south london, or a night out in Reading Berkshire, or Slough, or chuffing Swindon (never go there, kids on leads, dogs in prams).
4, We have two cats, if we don't feed them they go outside, kill summink, and eat that (why do we buy cat food?).
4, (part two) He'll be as drunk as everyone else so no-one else will notice.
5, Two Pogues fans will be leaving with you.

Good advice!

1) I'm glad I don't have to go through what you are with the ticketing situation, I'm sure mine will be here soon
2) My flight is definitely shorter than yours! That's not a flight I envy, especially on the way back to Gatwick, overnight...eewwwww
3) I lived in Luton for 10 years, (if I can survive the Mad Hatters night club I suppose I can survive anything!) had a lot of nights out in London too, mainly Camden Palace raves on a Friday night - so I'll have to draw on my memories of those days
4) Part I - I'll get my neighbor in I think. Cat's really can't be outdoor cats here in Florida, they get eaten instead of eating other things! Mine get to go out in my fenced yard when I'm at home though.
4) I plan on being as drunk as Shane too, so even if they do notice, I'll tell them to f**k off, my husband included (but he knows that already).
5) You are right about that!

It's very exciting though, even with the minor fears. I can't wait.

4. bring the cats!

HA HA....my cats are very familiar with the miewsic of the Pogues, but I don't know if they are ready for a live show So how excited are you from a scale of 1 - 10?
