This show has sold out!
Hi everyone,
I hate to say this but the show has sold out! I'm not sure if anyone bought tix online or was going to buy at door. I checked yesterday to confirm the time of the show and there were still plenty of tix left. I had planned on buying at door. Bad idea on my part.
I'm looking into other options for getting tickets. Of which, one might be just trying in front of House of Blues. So, I will plan on being at the HOB bar between 7- 7:30pm. We can do a "pre-meetup" here if you'd like. Those that have tix can then go to the show, those that don't well we can try to get tix or we can move the party elsewhere.
Here are a couple of thoughts:
1) How about a good ole sing a long at the dueling piano bar, The Shout House? Same cover - $10 after 7pm. We could request 80s tunes all night!
2) Jimmy Loves - live band / DJ (I believe it is DJ / Dance music including 80s! at 10:00pm)
If you want to let me know that you have tickets and will be going or don't have tickets and are interested in plan B, feel free to text or call me at 314.614.0449.
I'm sorry about this guys! But, I hope that we will still see you tonight and that we all get to meet new SDBN friends!

Thank you Prashant, Ryan, Tina, Bobby, Marianne, and Lucy for going with the flow! Even though the concert thing didn't work out, we still had a great time!

We will let hostesses know our where abouts in the bar but please seek us out as well. Ryan's cell is: 619-957-2352 and mine is 314.614.0449.

Sorry guys...THE SHOW HAS SOLD OUT. I checked yesterday and they still had plenty of tix available. So, I thought we could get tix at the door. I have found a few on Craig's list and am waiting for a response. If you do have tickets, you can text me at 314.614.0449.
I'm going to be in the bar at about 7-7:30pm and will see if I can find someone selling tickets. If you don't have a tix but want to go, text me with your name and I will let you know if I come up with any tix.
Paul, thanks for sharing your feedback that the band is good! I will confirm the time, but it looks like now doors open at 8pm, with show starting at 9:30pm. Hope you make it!
his band is really good and have excellent energy. Hope I can make it in time!!!
Hey guys, I just checked House of Blues site again and the times had changed. I've updated the event. I will call on Friday to confirm and will post a follow-up, just in case.
Prashant you are too funny! Look forward to seeing you again.
