St James Cagney Day 2011

[Smoz]

...
But the more I kept looking at the dates on the front page, the more I thought - I am gonna do this one way or the other. I hope them crowds in New York are as good as Dublin and Brixton

Except one thing - remember back in December when neither of us had tickets for Monday . . . I am travelling to NYC without a ticket for Jimmy's Day.

Just 2 weeks now till we go and I can't wait. Text me your address I will send you a postcard

I have been lucky enough to see The Pogues in Brixton (many times), Dublin & New York (once each so far) and IMHO the crowd in New York are just as good as London & Dublin, not the same but just as good.

Maybe see you at Terminal Five on St Jimmy's day, I'll be the bald one with a beer gut, a grin and the odd tear in my eye whenever they play one of my favourites.

I think you just described half of a Pogues crowd, myself included!

Detroit on the 4th, Boston on the 12th! Life is fine!

For those off to Detroit;
Where is the planned watering hole pre-show close to the venue....please let the Canadians know!?

Just noticed St. James Cagney Day is also sold out.

I wonder if it happened before or after Spider's Billboard interview.

Nice! The picture I have of the marquee at Roseland which says "tickets still available" was less impressive than it might've been...

I believe it is Gusoline Alley, 309 S Center Street Royal Oak, MI 48067-3810
Less than a block from the venue.

Less than 48 hours now! I've turned three friends on to the band over the past year and bringing them as well. We can't wait!

Has anyone read an announcement of a set list?

[darrencp22]

Still no NYC tix. Anyone get theirs?

[Matt50]

I did not receive any Ny tickets yet...hopefully the end of this week or early next, after that I will start to worry.

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION about House of Blues.
I bought a ticket for the friday show at Boston. 1st level ticket were sold out so I bought a 2nd level ticket. Is there any chance to do some moshing there?
If the answer is yes, as I hope, I'd better to buy some contact lenses!

MarkInIllinois, since you're at the first show, we're counting on you for the set list. Take a pen and paper and try to stay sober.
Have fun!
See all you Detroit peoples and fellow Canadians on Friday. Safe journeys to all.

I'm going to walk into Gusoline Alley and scream "Pogues to Niagara" in order to find you, so be listening! What time do you estimate arriving at the bar?
