TimothyBFan

I can think of nothing else this morning! I HAVE to go to this show but a few obstacles I need to get around and I don't know how that will work. First is that is the weekend before our 21st anniversary & we are going away that Saturday night. Get back Sunday and Larry is suppose to be driving to Dayton that afternoon/evening with some friends for the air museum-in my SUV because his can't be trusted that far and one friend is flying in for the visit and the other friend has to leave the car at home for wife's work. Not that I drive in the city anyways (but for Tim-I might overcome that fear!) Next problem is no train back from Chicago that late and I HAVE to work Monday.

OK- who wants to come pick me up? I'll buy the tickets and gas! :hilarious:

What to do? D*mn the short notice!!!! Couldn't they announce these things sooner? Geez!:hilarious:

Ive always been a dreamer
10-08-2009, 09:31 AM
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all, I hope Karen Z is okay and hasn't passed out or anything!!!

And Willie, I have a feeling you are gonna work this out somehow!

I'm still figuring, but it is really short notice. :headscratch:

Good luck to all of you who are trying to make this one. Realistically, its in the middle of term, the notice is very short and I don't really have the €€€ at the moment. But any of you who can...... go for it!!

We are so lucky, so lucky, so lucky... never did I imagine he would do something like this... I figured some appearances in California maybe....

I bet we'll get early copies of Expando! I already pre-ordered mine but who the hell cares if I have two copies? Maybe he'll do a signing! He's done them before! We could get to talk to him a little then. I could bring my copy of my "Timothy B" single, too. You never know!

I wonder how long it will be, what the set list will look like? Will he only be playing a sampling of new songs? Will he play some of the older solo songs he's never had a chance to do live before (I don't think he's toured solo since Playin' It Cool!)? Play a new Eagles song? I imagine the "Old faithfuls" of ICTYW and LWKUA will appear, but honestly, I could do without 'em. We've heard those 3000 times already. This is TIMOTHY.

SOOOO exciting!!!

Did you guys purchase your tickets from the Schuba's site? Are my eyes decieving me? Is the price of a ticket only twenty dollars (with a two dollar service charge)?

sodascouts
10-08-2009, 01:09 PM
Nope - that's right - $22 all told!!!

You and hubby coming, PM? It'll be like Chicago 2008 redux - if we could only get Maleah! lol

TimothyBFan
10-08-2009, 01:21 PM
Hey Cathy---were your ears buzzing this morning? Soda and I were talking how we think you and hubby need to come up also and we will have a reunion of sorts! Hey Maleah--road trip???? :hilarious:

And can you believe the price? How exciting is that?

Brooke
10-08-2009, 01:23 PM
Oh man, I'm so excited for you guys! $22.? Unbelievable!

Looks like a cool place, too! How long has it been since you saw a Schlitz beer sign?! ( I don't go to bars often, so I could be wrong there!) :lol:

Schubas is a very intimate venue. There is an upstairs lounge but no "backstage." He will have to walk through the audience to get to the stage. The acoustics there are excellent for soft music

The photo booth there is one of those old-style numbers that you crawl into with your friends to get jokey b&w pictures taken.

WOW!!! This is such wonderful news!! I'm sooooo incredibly happy for those of you that get to go. It sounds like it's going to be quite the event. Oct. 18 needs to hurry up and get here because I'm already excited to hear all about it...and hopefully see some up close and personal pics.

Now Willie, here's something to remember..."If you can reach him, you must touch him." This is something that was brought up a few weeks ago in chat. I beleive it was with Troub, GA, Soda, and I. I made a little variation of the actual saying but i think you get the jist of it. We referred to it as the Border Pact :hilarious:.

Looks like most of TimmieB's fans are going to Chicago. Can't wait. I'm going to L.A. and will give all of you heads up on what to expect. I knew that he had cut a new CD but never expected this mini-tour and such small venues. The Coronet Theater here in LA is a small venue too. We TBS fans could not have asked for anything more-!:partytime:

Congrats to all you mid-west girls!:thumbsup:

Why do you think Tim has suddenly become so brazen - to actually promote his new CD :shock: - I am mystified :eyebrow: LOL

No, 'fraid not. In addition to being under the weather, I'm dealing with a lot of personal challenges right now (the electric panel in the house was fried during an outage and it took a couple of appliances down, too) and I'm busier than a one legged clog dancer at work.

He really couldn't have picked a worse time! But I'm sure that everyone who does get to go will have a great time.

If I've counted correctly it lools like seven Borderers will be seeing Timothy in Chicago - eight if Molly comes!
