luckiest1 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Come on, couchie, you know you wanna...... I will be attending with crimsonice, disneykid and cindilu2. I know ldyjocelyn and hubby will be there (because I am holding their tickets hostage, heh). Who else? Where's everyone staying? It would be great if we could get together for dinner beforehand. crimsonice and disneykid both vote for Smokey Bones again, because they say that it has the best ribs they've ever eaten (and it's right across from the venue).

Hi! I don't post to often on FCA but do lurk a bit. I will be in Merrillville as well as Waukegan and both Minneapolis shows! Hubby will be with me for the Waukegan & MN shows but staying home to care for our cats duirng the Merrillville one. So, I and three of my Clay fan friends will be driving down from Madison WI and also will be meeting up with 2 fans from Dayton OH and 1 from Fairfield IA! We are all staying at the Radisson Star Plaza Hotel. We are actually signed up to eat there at 5 p.m. prior to the concert. Would love to meet some of you from FCA. The three riding down with me and I will be arriving at the hotel around 11 a.m. Since I am having withdrawls already now that the summer tour is over, I am really glad he is doing a Christmas tour again and that I will be able to go to four shows! Edited: P.S. Is ldyjocelyn the one who captured the great video of ISY at the Nutter Center in Dayton OH during the Solo Tour? I was there with hubby who had on the shirt Clay read (My wife did not drag me here, I actually like Clay Aken.)

Chardonnay Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 I totally missed the boat on this one due to other commitments unrelenting. But this venue has become my sweetest tradition and I just really, really wanna to go. However, I'm not really a total mercy case here because this is what I have to offer in return: Two THIRD ROW SEATS just slightly right of center at the Miller Auditorium in Kalamazoo on his birthday 11/30... in trade for something somewhat comparable in Merrilville. Original costs could be taken into consideration of course. My K'zoo ones were approximately $62 each... since they were part of a "membership." *g* I'm not interested in selling them (already had 15 offers) or (God forbid) making any sort of a profit on them. Just interested in trading. We're nothing if not resourceful sometimes .. eh? Please email me at jnut23@comcast.net if interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I know it's kinda hard for us to have parties because so many people belong to different boards but just checking to see if we want to plan a partay post concert. Nothing formal..maybe just a bar or lounge or a place to hang and unwind. My package for this event comes with a buffet dinner before the concert (fortunately I can eat 3 hours before hee) so if anyone wants to join me just let me know...

luckiest1 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Something post-concert works for me! I am wary of planning any pre-concert for these winter dates because you just never know how much extra time it's gonna take us to get there....

ldyjocelyn Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'm in for a preparty too. Where should we look for a place? Or does someone want to "donate" their hotel room for a party place? I could always bring tequila, orange juice, peach schapps, and sprite to make Fuzzy Treasure Trails!!! luckiest1, we went to Smokey Bones last year, right? I wonder if it closed -- I can't find them on their website anymore in Merrillville. I did discover that there is a Buffalo Wild Wings close to the theater though -- that might work. Also, where is everyone staying? I'm tempted to splurge on this one and getting into the Radisson next door to the theater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couch Tomato Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 hey LdyJ... whoo hooo..I'm all for a party. I think we had kinda settled on something after the show though. I'm staying at the Raddison Hotel at Star Plaza. A nice place to unwind and be a little loud would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldyjocelyn Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yeah, I was thinking after the show party too. The reason I suggested Buffalo Wild Wings is that they usually are open until about 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. I went to an afterparty after the Indiana State Fair JBT, and it was fantastically fun. But it would be nice if we could just take over a hotel room. I'm thinking that the hotel lobby at the Radison will be overtaken by many other Clay fans. Not that I want to be exclusionary, I guess, but I like a quieter/smaller afterparty in many instances. Any other suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckiest1 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 So, where's the after party, then? ETA that Buffalo Wild Wings is ok except we went to one in....Youngstown I think.....and it was really smoky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
