I envy anyone who lives/can get to CA.

edited November -1 in OK Go
I promised myself that I was NOT going to post over here until finals were over, but clearly, that hasn't happened. biggrin.gif

So I've just discovered (as some of you have found out in recent, angry LJ posts wink.gif ) that they guys are playing at what are probably going to be two AWESOME festivals this summer.

9 June, San Diego, CA
Line-up includes OK Go, The Cult, Dashboard Confessional, P!ATD, Franz Ferdinand, Echo & The Bunnymen, Hard-Fi, SWR, and (plus a few others).

10 June, Mountain View, CA
Line-up includes OK Go, AFI, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yellowcard, P!ATD, SWR, Thursday, Wolfmother, Anti-Flag, Hard-Fi, Hush Sound, and several more.

Now I've told myself that the MOMENT OK Go and Franz Ferdinand did a show together, I'd be there. But I can't afford to fly to CA!!!!!! AND THE STROKES! They're playing with The Strokes! On the same day!(Not on the same stage, mind you, but still...)

I envy any and all who can get to either show. *very grumpy now*

    that's my birthday... i think everyone should chip in and buy me a plane ticket... tongue.gif
  • sad.gif yeah the concert in mountain view is the one that i was talking about on another topic...the one that's five minutes from my house and that i'm missing because i'm in college. owell...at least my sister is gonna go and have an absolutely awesome time.

    anddddd....ok i'm really kicking myself for this. but i totally COULD go to the san diego concert, but i took forever to decide whether or not i wanted to go to a concert the wknd before finals. and now tickets are 100+. arrrggg and all i really want are seats on lawn anyway. sad.gif

    blah. i'm gonna waste a couple more hours trying to find tickets online though, because this lineup is waaayy too good to miss.
  • I looked up plane tickets to fly out there, and it was over $500! I can't afford that! Damnit all. OK Go, Hard Fi, and Franz. I want to cry. sad.gif

    I looked at plane tix last night, too. Far too expensive. Especially since I'm going abroad next year. tongue.gif

    I think all of us should start hitchhiking cross-country and meet up in CA. Sound like a plan?
  • heh, i like that we all looked into plane tickets... 'tis $397 roundtrip for me...

    I'm in! The perfect place to have that boardie convention we've all been planning. tongue.gif
  • haha you can all stay in my suite! i'm sure my suitemates wouldn't REALLY mind biggrin.gif

    and plus...you can help prove to them that my obsession with ok go is completely natural. they seem to think that i'm weird because of it. (psshh! i'm not weird...THEY are!) tongue.gif

    We don't have to tell them that it involves OK Go.....there are plenty of other great names playing as well. biggrin.gif They'll never know...
  • aww i want to go to that show. but yah my dad have already spendt alot of $$$ for me to see three concerts this summer.

    sigh franz and ok go. i would love to go.
  • blahhhhh!!!

    found tickets for $47 which i am absolutely willing to pay for, but the girl i was going with (and consequently my ride) doesn't want to pay that much. ARRRGGGHHHHH!!

    sad.gif and now i'm going to subtly (or perhaps not so subtly) try to convince my sister who is going to the 6/10 to buy an ok go poster for me and get okgo to sign it for my birthday. wink.gif (to quote emperor kuzco..."it's my birthday present to me. i'm SOO happy")

    Get her to get them to sign a birthday card for you! Those are so much fun!

    Also- go to the show yourself, if you're willing to pay $47 for it. Believe me, there'll be people there you'll bond with. smile.gif
  • hot damn!

    Ok Go, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Hush Sound, the Strokes, and Anti-Flag.

    oh man, how I wish I was a west-coaster right now! (or that I could magically go visit my second cousins {once removed} out there)

    Om second thought, the 9th is my school-wide semi-formal which I promised my freshman friends I'd go to.
    I would so give it up for the Go if they were nearby, but $8 for a school dance is way more reasonable than $500+ for plane tickets and concert tickets.
  • not to be a party pooper or anything buutt..

    i got my tickets last night! smile.gif


    but i thought they were only $40? idk that's how much i paid.

    Lucky lucky! Were they only $40? For some reason, I thought they were a bunch more...

    I'm still proposing we rent a bus or van and just drive over there. Pick up random boardies along the way...it'll be great! Of course, it'll be like mucho expensivo...but I can dream, can't I?! *cries* I want to gooo.

    We could always rent a greyhound bus. They go all across country. Each boardie waits at their local greyhound bus station, and slowly we all join each other on that one bus. Ooo, we can drive those nasty evil greyhound bus drivers crazy by singing a lot and demanding they make more frequent stops!

    Greyhound is cheap, if you can get used to being treated like cattle and not being able to go to the bathroom for 3-4 hours at a time. Damn Diane Sawyer.

    Katy is not having of the dollars. Therefore, this = no-go. sad.gif

    It cost me 65 dollars or something in that range to take a greyhound bus 2000 miles from Newark NJ to Phoenix AZ. I say we all go on a greyhound bus together.
  • I wonder what they're schedule will be like for July? Maybe they'll go on tour with The Strokes, Bloc Party, and/or Franz Ferdinand. I'd pay BIG MONEY to go to that show.

    I would sell a kidney for tickets to that show.
