Stockpile your indie-nappies now.
Yeah, if it was in London id be going... if Americans are going, have a swell time.

As psyched as I am for this, I keep thinking that if they play with Mark then it will be mostly another Eternal show. I'm kind of hoping they play as a four piece and explore the back catalog (A Thousand Leaves, please!!!!). And waiting to see what the Euro gigs setlists are...

Still gonna be an awesome show, can't wait!!!!

They're only playing as a four piece for two shows.

They've never played the bowl b4, pavement either.

NYC has something like the bowl, its actually a mini-bowl.

PROSPECT PARK-BROOKLYN



But it's nothing as grand as the HOLLYWOOD BOWL.

Man, that place honestly does not look appealing to me. Saw SY at the Greek Theatre once and hate it. I can't stand giant venues like that.

The greek sucks, I don't like it. don't let the greek dissuade you. Further, I hate arena shows, I almost exclusivey troll dancehalls and shitty 150 capacity dive gigs (sy@ the troubadour is one of my all-time fav gigs), but when it comes to the Hollywood Bowl, that place is pure magic..

trust me, go, you will not be disappointed in the slightest, but you will be if you miss it ;)

lol at

CODE IS BOWL10 (this is the new code)

General Onsale May 2 at 10am

i will say... the pre sale tickets for the paul mccartney show there a month ago were AWFUL seats. hopefully this won't be the case.

you guys think SY will add more shows in the area later since they'll be in town? I really don't wanna go to that venue to sit in a chair a mile away from the band and take hours to park and hours to get out and pay ridiculous amounts for two tickets. I'm sure it sounds great and no offense meant to those who are going but it's just not for me.

yes. I'm sure they will do something, perhaps even free..

but your being a pussy about the Bowl.. you don't sit in your seat, you can seat hop freely. I honestly never sit in any sit there, I dance in the lowest aisle cuz it is a slick floor like a dance floor, so I buy the worst and cheapest seats in the house just to get inside the door ;)

trust me, all you pessimists and nihilists should not be scared of the Bowl, it is pure magic.

parking for the bowl is easy, just park in the neighborhood that says -Don't Park here-

park at the Church at the bottom of the hill, best pricing, no box in, and you can blaze it in the parking lot ;)

just tried the pre-sale to no avail........ WTF?! there's nowhere to enter pre-sale info, just says 'tickets aren't on sale yet' grrrrr

try it again, its working now.

try again..its working now.. i scored some garden tickets.. presale mccartney tickets were back in T1...

phew... i tried again, man i was spazzing at 10 o'clock YAY GARDEN BOX!!!! :)

here's a nice seating chart to figure out where some of those seats are....
