I am extremely sad because I will not be going because I do not have the finances or resources to go. I Had it all planed and then life happend and all its bullshit with it. Stupid stuff like car payments, college tuition, and food is why Im not going. This is the one time my life that Ive really regretted not having my financial act together to go see them. GOD DAMM IT, SON OF A BITCH!! Im sorry, I just get so angry thinking about how im not going. But alas I will see them again some day, perhaps sooner than I think. However for everyone else who is going have fun, fun, fun ok!
Also to everyone who goes better be rocking at a least 150%. No pansy jumping up and down to thier songs. Be creative and let your musical spirit rock out freely among ultimate vibes of the pillows sound and thier performal energy. By the end of the show if your not dripping with sweat, completly exhausted and ready to hurl or pass out then you haddnt rocked out enough for the pillows and Im coming to get you. But remember have fun, fun, fun ok! and be safe.

Hey!

Can ANYONE tell me what the deal is?

What day are they performing, what TIME?

Just say it. "Like, saturday at 7" or something.. I really don't know when and it would be a lot of help if someone just said when, for god sakes, WHEN!!! O__O

They haven't announced it yet, from what I hear. A lot of people have said the bands usually play on Friday, but that's speculation.

Im used to having a minute-to-minute program list all nicely done and perfected in pdf files on the main site [like AnimeExpo]. less than 2 weeks left and not even a main event is scheduled.. WTF :x

yeah, that's lame... A while back I emailed them and said, you know, what's wrong with you people! Organize yourselves! But they're just fools... none the less fools who are letting the midwest see the pillows...

Q. Does a ticket guarantee me a seat in the concert?
A. A ticket does not guarantee 100% that you will have a seat in the concert. Admittance to the concert without a ticket will not be allowed. Seating inside main programming will be set up to accommodate people who wish to stand as well as those who wish to sit. However as such we cannot guarantee a seat for every individual.

Q. Wow, The Pillows were great Friday can I get tickets to the Saturday one as well?
A. Unfortunately, so many people want to see the concert that the concert is limited to one concert per attendee.

Q. My friend’s aren’t going to arrive until late Friday, can I get tickets for them?
A. Sorry, in order to be fair to everyone who wants to see the concert, you must be present and have your badge in order to get a ticket to the concert. Only one ticket will be given to one person at a time please do not bring multiple badges to get tickets, you will only receive one.

Q. I didn’t get a ticket, but this guy says he’ll sell me one for 10$ can I buy it?
A. Concert tickets cannot be transferred, and are meant to be free. If convention staff sees anyone selling tickets or trading tickets for other items, the tickets will be confiscated and you will be brought to security. This is the fairest way for everyone to be able to see and enjoy the concert.

Q. I lost my ticket, can I get another one?
A. We’re sorry but we can only issue one ticket to each attendee. So hang on to those tickets! However, if you did lose your ticket, you can still enjoy Friday’s simulcast without one.

Q. Are The Pillows going to be signing autographs?
A. Yes they are! You can get autographs from The Pillows after their Saturday concert. They will be available in Grand Ballroom C from 2:30pm to 4:30pm, get there fast, there’s probably going to be a line.

Q. Are The Pillows going to have stuff they can sign at the autographs session?
A. They might have paper, but you can always get them to sign your program book. If you want something special, like a CD, signed; check out the Dealer’s Room, there’s bound to be Pillow’s merchandise.

Q. I’m a BIG fan, can I get pictures or video of the concert?
A. Sorry, unfortunately there is to be no photography or any recording equipment allowed in the concert. Please leave all of your cameras, tape recorders, and video cameras in your rooms. If you do bring a bag we will have to search it or you will be asked to bring it to your room. We can also take it to security, however we cannot guarantee the safety of your bags so please save everyone some trouble and leave your bags and recording equipment in your room.

Q. Will there be VIP seating for sale like last year?
A. We believe that you shouldn’t have to pay more to get VIP seating. There will be no VIP seating available.

i wanna goooooooooooo . . . T_T

No, you can't go.

Thank gesus.

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! Son of a bitch! .... (sigh) man I really want to go.

That actually makes me glad I'm not going. I think I'll wait until they come back again and plan things a little better so I can see them at a club.

[quote="Mellie"]That actually makes me glad I'm not going. I think I'll wait until they come back again and plan things a little better so I can see them at a club.[/quote]

i guess its for the better. i mean, do we really want some lanky naota requesting "FLAME" at the gig? or some fat harkuo moshing to "advice" while her fake rickenbacker is swinging all over the place? or how about everyone thinking that PL is their latest album and assuming that any other song outside of FLCL is a new song?

yeah.

or we could all go and kill those people. and ten tell them to play energy or koi no SUPAI ni ki wo tsukero!

. . . that'd be awesome.
