Awesome

NYC shall be fun!

Nice. I might hit up the Denver show and am thinking about going to the Pre-show meetup.

I could go to the NYC one but then I'm a big old INFJ so the thought terrifies me

Huh?

These preshows are really fun! It really gets the mood going early, thereby extending Dream Theater Day! Some are better than others, but how many places can one go to geek out over DT with others In Person?

I've been to one in Denver and one in Phoenix. Had a blast both times. I actually won the trivia in Denver.

How exciting! The trivia can be  hard!

Quote from: pg1067 on January 12, 2025, 04:10:08 PMHuh?

It's an introverted personality type.

See you in Philly. Can't wait!

Looking forward to whatever mischief happens in NYC.

DC and NYC are later in the tour, so nothing posted yet for those two cities.

I still cannot believe that there's no DTUSA people in Boston.

Buried by 'disagreements' in the NoAmerican thread, I mentioned where some people take planes, trains, and automobiles from other states to host. I did two here in Baltimore, three in DC, and one in Philly. 

Wheeling WVA has someone from Florida hosting this year. She also hosted the first one I went to in Baltimore.  It's just the way things work out.

btw..the Philly cohosts this year are my old cohost and a friend from New Jersey.  Skeever, it is at the same venue as for Dreamsonic, just a couple of blocks away from The Met.

No, I saw that. I'm just shocked that there's no one based in Boston in DTUSA.

Preshow for one?

Quote from: nobloodyname on January 16, 2025, 10:48:51 PMPreshow for one?

You coming? We'll be down there a few hours before the show.

Ah, no I meant for you I won't be at the show in Boston but I'll hopefully build up some courage to attend the one before the Radio City show.

Nice, that's where it was last time, too.

Awesome! I no longer use Facebook so I do appreciate you posting the location here. I will see you there.

Where is it? Didn't attend the one for Dreamsonic. Thanks.

I'm down for the Philly meet up, and NYC, but Philly is coming up and on my mind.

Quote from: cramx3 on January 18, 2025, 03:26:38 PMI'm down for the Philly meet up, and NYC, but Philly is coming up and on my mind.

Yep. Going to try and do the Philly one for sure. Probably nyc too. That'll be a LONG day in nyc! Rangers game at 1 then pre-show meetup and then the show!

I was planning to get to Philly around 6. I might need to rearrange my plans to get there a little earlier now.

I'm probably taking the day off from work to make it

Quote from: cramx3 on January 21, 2025, 07:43:03 AMI'm probably taking the day off from work to make it

Yeah, I'm taking the day off and my plan is to head out around 3, to give myself time to have a cheesesteak

I was literally thinking the same thing. I often go to Jims and more recently Genos, but my gf was just telling me I should go somewhere else (I forgot the name though).  I've got to start doing research of the area though.  Only been to the Met once and don't recall too much other than I was able to take the subway there.

I been to Genos and Pat's, but I was hoping to try a different spot.

Maybe some of the Philly residents can tell us the secret spots 

Jim's, on South Street is my favorite.  There's a place down on the south side, Tony somethings, but I forgot the full name.  That's not wicked close, though, to the Met (though I'm not exactly sure how far north of City Hall it actually is).

Tony's and Nick's?

Also, are you going to the Philly show?

Quote from: Lonk on January 22, 2025, 05:02:56 AMTony's and Nick's?

That sounds right.

Philly is going to be a game-day decision. I have my tickets to Wallingford and Radio City. As I sit here now, I'm 51-49 NOT going, but I feel like as we get closer, I'm going to get the initiative. 

Just updating, that there have not been any additional updates.

I can't believe that this show is already next week

Quote from: Skeever on January 29, 2025, 02:39:01 AMI can't believe that this show is already next week

Yup, coming up quick.  And it's sold out now. (I do see one ticket, but yeah, it's effectively sold out).

I've got to watch a bit though to see what comes available (even though I have my ticket) because I'm still on the outside looking in for RCMH ticket and it's sold out.  I expect some tickets to become available day of show, but we will see.
