Starting a new thread for it and quoting this info from Frielanor, so that Rachel and the other East Coasters don't have to have a heart attack every time someone posts in the D.C. show thread ...
There aren't many details available. Notre Dame never announces "The Show" until right before the beginning of the year, I think tickets aren't pre-sold, and they do check ID's at the door. Everything I know about the concert is the date, time, and band here
http://www3.nd.edu/~theshow/, plus Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore's facebook response to me:
"It is so." Students only; Notre Dame, Holy Cross, and St Marys.
Have fun!

............................
Not much information at all, which is why I bothered to ask Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore and confirm. They probably won't even announce which building the concert is in until the beginning of that week. As for sneaking in, I don't know how many of the students go to The Show, and how many would be willing to lend someone an ID. And I do know from past experience at concerts and football games that at least some of the guards do look at the picture and name on a student's ID. But then, I'm sure there are some who don't check at all. Anyways, sorry I'm not of more help. There isn't very much information available, that's just how "The Show" is run.
So I'm thinking about attempting this, student-ID-borrowing and all ... am I crazy?
Is there any possibility of another show coming up that would make it silly for a person from the Chicago area to do this, Mr. Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore?

I'm kind of thinking the same thing. I want to do it, but realistically... eh. I don't know. It wouldn't work for me, probably. But I can imagine the seventh... I'll be sitting at home, banging my head against the wall.
I second this question. I'm near the Chicago area, too, and if there was another show, then !
You're an amazing and thoughtful person, Miss Sheri. And I am an ass for not responding to your txt earlier.
Otherwise, you'll regret it and wonder what might have been.
Also, you could always try to go straightforward and write to whoever's in charge, saying, "Hi, I'm a huge fan of this band and I'd really appreciate etc"
Always a posibility. Actually, I have already done a little sleuthing and tried to nab someone who could loan me theirs through Craigslist......until my post was taken down, as it was against the rules to ask for ID or access cards. Now I am all over my college board, asking for anyone who knows someone who knows someone who needs spare alcohol money for a few hours without their ID.
But it seems that if ID is the way to go, the only way we are going to get in is if we notify J*orge who can notify Dan, who can maybesort-ofpossiblyHOPEFULLY put in a good word for us at the door, so we don't have to make the trek for nothing.

omg we should so do that but the guys have never met me they need someone well known....hmm who could do it *hint hint* lol
I don't know if it would be too hard to get IDs from students. Tabatha and Angela scored 3 (or was it 4?) IDs from people at UCSD (San Diego) for the show there in December, and they went there that day and begged them off people. And I kinda doubt they'd be checking IDs closely, although I'm completely talking out of my ass with that. I know nothing about how things are done at this school.

oh, and btw, because somebody asked me about how it was done-
that's not me. That's another girl on this board whose real name is Tabatha, lol. Her real name is Tabatha with an "a." Her username is Redstar7 I think, or something with Redstar in it. She lives in California and she snuck into a bunch of shows before. My real name is Sally and my username is Tabetha with an "e." I live in Massachusetts. It can get confusing, lol. I wish I was as cool as she is, lol. I live a sheltered life created by strict, over-protective parents, lol.
Me, I was raised amid the trickle-down days...
I don't know how we can NOT go and at least attempt it. We'd be crazy to try, and we'd be crazy not to try. So we're screwed either way. *snort* I just got approved to take vacation that day, so I guess count me in. (Oh God, I don't want the guys to be afraid of me or anything...what to do?)
ugh just when my mom was getting ready about to say yes my dad goes NO! i guess no doesnt mean anything to you does it.....ugh he doesnt let me have any fun..... just because hes stuck at home being a parent doesnt mean he shouldnt let me have any fun as a kid.......... he just doesnt know how much this means to me and he wont ever listen to what i have to say UGH!!
College students are pretty young looking actually. Try wearing more make-up than usual and wear your hair differently than you usually would, this might make you appear older. Or just act like a drunk airhead like my cousin.
I'm in college...At one of my jobs I have for the summer, I see new ppl everyday and they always think I'm 16.
In fact, I'm kind of peeved now because every time I tell someone my age, they always go on and on about how I don't look it, and this gives my sisters (both older and younger) a great time laughing at me. The other day, someone even thought I was 14 and the person laughed for like 10 minutes straight when I told her how old I am. I dunno, maybe because I'm short (5 flat) and giggle too much and am shy?
I also know a girl who at 15 years old, is always assumed to be 20something. She wears bellyshirts...
And a boy, currently 13, who is mistaken for at least 21 because when he goes out with his parents, the waitresses offer him beer. He's reeeally tall and has facial hair.
And then there was the 15 year old girl who went to every 21+ OK Go show in the MA area.
Anyways, my point is that there isn't really a way that any age absolutely looks. Once you pass 13, every age looks pretty much the same (well, I mean until you pass a certain age, lol) So I think in terms of passing for a college student, you could def'ly try it.
I'd take Tempe's advice and go for it.
Aww *hugs* Don't worry, you'll get there. Tim and Dan are waiting for you. At some point you'll see them even if it's not now.
