San Diego Diggnation

[ricekrispies]

Does anybody know if you'll need tickets to the House Of Blues??
This will be my first Live Diggnation viewing and i don't wanna mess anything up... :D:D

Okay, I missed the details. When and where? If my honey's got the night of it off, we'll be there. I've been to six shows, want to make it to lucky number seven.

Oh i thought it was actually held in the convention center, ha good thing i checked the thread.

I should be there. but i have a feeling its going to be hard to get into.

Age requirement, and ticketing info?

[jonavalon]

Yea would like to know if you need tickets as well, just want to make sure. Also will be my first live diggnation.

But i have a feeling its going to be hard to get into.

Yea definitely, especially it being during Comic-com. I have a feeling there will be quite a few attendee's from the convention center with the early head start.


To those that been to the live shows, how early do you recommend getting there to get in line?

[diane]

I have an 11 yr old who will be with me and foaming at the mouth if there is an age requirement.

Please say there isn't.

[scoobydiesel]

I say hours ahead. Its comic con. BUT saving grace is around the same time is scottpillgram vs the world. So..That does cut the fans down id think some? maybe....lol

[klitzy]

I will be there. Anyone who is a regular on the forum...hit me up if you want to meet up before or whateves. :D

HAHAH.. age requirements shall be waived for underaged kids who are so crossed with anger that they can't comprehend what is going on...

just for the record... "there is no age requirement or tickets"...

anybody here have a spot in the dinner reservations??

[jonavalon]

Wish i made reservations, probably should have so some of us can just meet up and get in w/o a hitch.

Anyways, what time do some of you plan on getting there?

I was thinking of getting in line around 3pm, but i have a feeling that might not be early enough or that might be like the max time to make it.

Anyone have any ideas when the show will be posted?

I missed this damn thing by a week.

Too bad they wouldn't come out for something slightly more nerdy like the ESRI Users Conference. :(

This is twice now I've been near by but totally missed them. Being in the South Pacific and all it's really hard to convince them to fly down here and do a show.

[jonavalon]

I'd probably say next week it gets posted......i hope.


But yea great show, glad i waited in line early. Got there around 3:30 (super early, one of the first few there), 4-5pm got the usual round of Hippie and Brad Murphy strolling around early on. Alex took a sec to say whats up, Kevin rolled up in a Taxi like a baller lol, although hides his face like we were the paparazzi. Met Jim Louderback, cool guy. He passed out some Revision 3 stickers to some of us in line. By 5:30 the line started to grow, a camera guy went out to do some of the intro type shots of the people in line cheering.

They started letting in @ 7:40, once inside not much went on till a bit after 8. Maybe 8:20 some of the TRS and iFanboy guys got on the mic to say hi and throw some stuff out to the crowd. The main thing they threw out was the new Revision 3 headphones. (Was able to get one, nice souvenir to have, later on in the show they also thew out 2GB flash drives....able to get that as well).

After a little bit more wait, then Mike Relm went on to do his Video-SL (mix and scratch) set. Good set, very entertaining, went on for a good amount of time. I think by about 9:30 Relm finished up scratching to some clips of Kevin and Alex. They organized the stage for the show, hippie came out to get ready. Then Kevin & Alex came out and the show finally got underway. It was a fun live Diggnation, should be a good episode.

My experiences paralleled Jonavalon's.

Absolutely amazing day. Headed out pretty early from Orange County and got to San Diego by around noon where we were able to easily find parking right across the street from the House of Blues. Made a day of it bar hopping and enjoying downtown SD.

We had 4:30 reservations which I wasn't happy with initially, but it worked out perfectly. By the time we finished and lingered at the bar for a bit, they opened up the Delta room downstairs where those of us with front of line passes hung out for another hour or so. Great room and bar done by the same designers who did the Patron Tequila Express from episode 214 and various HOB Foundation Rooms. Met several awesome fellow Diggnation fans while hanging out there.

When they opened the doors, we scored a spot right against the railing behind Glenn. Several giveaways later and Mike Relm took the stage. You know how you almost always want the opening act to just wrap up as soon as possible and get to the main event? Not Mike. He absolutely tore it up. Definitely going to catch another one of his gigs.

Kevin and Alex took the stage and the audience response was the craziest of all the previous live Diggnations I've been to. Kevin was awesome (even though you could tell he was fighting off the last of his pneumonia) and Alex hilarious as usual.

Afterward, Alex hung out for autographs while I spotted Kevin jetting off in true celebrity fashion - he definitely wasn't 100% by the end of the show. Had some great convo with Hippie and the rest of the Rev3 crew and even got a chance to meet Penn Jillette.

Overall, the best live Diggnation ever. Hope Mike does more opening sets for future shows because it really got the crowd hyped up. I'm going to do my best and attend the rest of the live shows before they retire Diggnation :-(
