yesh I love chris!! I am in the minority group of team chris! haha

Hi Lora! Sarah's COSI MUSE fantasy is pretty good...it involves being locked in a submarine with Muse....lol. (ok I added the locked part... but it'd be a really good place to be)

Hey Lora, I am still learning how to navigate these forums and message pages...a few days ago I posted a response to your message on MY page, but I think I'm supposed to put it HERE. duh. So here it is...copied and pasted! (Oh, and I also posted one to Gretchen...but really I wish it could go to both of you at the same time...'cause I think you would also find my COSI-MUSE fantasy funny, as well! " : )

Cool! Where are your seats for Cincinnati? Mine is in Section 128. For the Detroit show, I lined up at 4:30pm because that's when the parking lot opened, and there was nowhere nearby to park and walk to the stadium. There were about 150 people already there....not bad! I ended up with a spot right in the center, about 6 people back from the barricade...it was awesome!!!! I hadn't been to a concert for many MANY years (except taking the girls to see Miley Cyrus) so I read these forums to learn what to do, and what to expect. So for Columbus, I guess it depends on those things: what time parking lot opens, or if there's a place to park somewhere else, etc. Also, I'll be keeping an eye on this forum to see when others are going to line up. I think that even if it's raining or snowing, I'm gonna want to get there early enough for a chance to be wwwwaaaaayyyyy up in front! Whew, I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

I got a bunch of tickets,some GA and some seats, in case my husband, kids, or any friends, would want to go. I do have 2 friends from Parkersburgh, WV, that will be coming, but don't know if they'll want the seat tickets or GA.

My 10-year old daughter, Antonia, is slowly turning into a Muse fan. Last night she and I watched YouTube videos of Matt going nuts...there was one of him swinging his guitar around by the strap and then he let it go up in the air, and it landed on Dom. I'm laughing now just writing about it! Antonia likes stuff like that. So if she wants to go, I have a great seat ticket for her...section 106. And my husband would want a seat, too, if he comes.

What is a board shirt?! Sounds fun! And I'm up for an "older" Muser gathering anytime!

Hi Lora!

Unfortunately my wife doesn't go with me. My daughter actually turned me on to Muse back in late 2004 and I've been a huge fan ever since. We generally go to the concerts together, but I happened to be in Philly this year and was able to see the show there in March. It was incredible and I can't wait for the show here!

I kind of pride myself in generally being the oldest one at most of the concerts I go to! I must have been twice the age of everyone else at the Von Bondies concert at the Basement last year!

Hopefully we'll get to meet you, your hubby and all the other boardies before the show in Nov!

Hi! I got GA for the Feb. Atlanta gig after some hesitation. (You know, I'm 40, not the strongest person in the world, what if I have to pee, yada yada yada). Ultimately I decided if I didn't at least go for it, I'd regret it for the rest of my life! Also, I figured if I had a bad time or got injured, either at least I'd know for next time, or it would all be worth it for Muse anyway.

However, once I was actually there, it was AMAZING! I'll probably never have seats now! I did the research (on that thread, mostly) and went into it expecting the worst, and it was a breeze! I had plenty of space to move and it wasn't rough at all. I was on the barrier, on Matt's side, but near the middle. Also, I was so worried about having to pee, but I figured the worst that could happen is that I have to leave and lose my spot. As it turns out, once I was there and the music started, I wasn't even really aware of my body. Sounds weird... But honestly, it couldn't have been a better experience. I don't think I'm talking out of turn if I say in general the US pits have been very manageable (and some actually kinda lame), and it's more the UK/European and South American crowds that can get pretty rough. I bought a GA ticket for the upcoming MN show and didn't think twice about it. (Now I'm just more worried about the logistics of actually getting there!)

Good luck with what you decide!

LOL, I'd like to think I can still handle it, but I'd probably have to pee 50 times and never make it back to where I was. Go for it, someone has to show the younger generation we still have it in us! haha. My hubby thinks Im a dork anyway, lol. Hes not that into Muse, but hears it all the time with me and Rachael around. hehe. Im thinking that seeing them live will blow his mind and he will finally get it. haha. I like the "obsessed with MUSE", lol or addicted 2 Muse, or how about "I tried to give (them) up...but Im addicted....." lol It looks like one sleeve suggest user name, but there is also room on the other too.

ok, now I see on the shirt site. It looks like you an add username on the sleeve, and whatever on the back...maybe the concert citys and dates on the back. Maybe MUSE in bigger letters on the back then the shows smaller under it? I don't know, you could make them really cute, but my creative brain isnt working right now. lol.

Yeah, I want to get one. What kinds of stuff do people add? (like, locations, user id- so we know each other,lol, or crazy stuff? haha, like Matt, Dom, and Chris you are so adorable we want to squeeze your butts. lol ) It looks like the back is blank, Itd be cool to have something on the back. It'd be fun to have stuff added to it. but I have no idea what..

that is crazy how concertmaps does the seats, I was buying right at 10AM, but Im just happy to be going, and to both! LOL, GA would be fun....be sure to wave to me up in 122!

What'd you end up with? I got sect 122 E9-10 in Columbus and sect 6(p1) C7-C9 in Cincy.
