    Very heavy rumors from those in the know here in NOLA that PJ will be playing Friday and NIN Sunday.

    Finally renewed my 10c membership! Yay me!
    So, anyway, here's what I think PJ should do at Voodoo...
    Last year, Neil Young headlined one of the days and apparently did a set of "unknown" songs. By unknown, I mean he did songs that weren't well known to the casual fan. You had to be a die-hard to really appreciate it. Everyone complains about how PJ does "popular" songs at festivals, so I think they should go the Uncle Neil route and give fans a treat!

    Tickets purchased, hotel is paid for, and I just booked my flights last week. All I need to do is find a pet sitter and I'm set. NOLA is for certain. I'll cross my fingers for the PNW shows. :D

    I'm down. I do VIP for voodoo every year. I'll show you the ins and outs!!

    I don't have VIP tickets, but surely we can still meet up. I don't have any friends here who like PJ.

    I'm debating on Voodoo now that the tour announcement has been made. I am doing Wrigley next week, hopefully Dallas, OKC, and maybe San Diego. I am not sure if Voodoo will be a bit much....
    40+ shows, it is never enough!

    Well, we haven't technically met, but I'm a NOLA PJ fan! We are out here, I promise! Joanna- did you put in for any lotteries?

    Haha, yeah, you're right about that!! So we'll make Voodoo our official first meeting. :) Wanna get there early for the front?
    Not doing any other lotteries...mostly because I'm POOR! If I could pay for the shows at the time they came around, rather than now, I'd be all about whichever is closest.

    Lord knows I don't need another credit card! I'm finally about to finish paying the ones I have now.
    YAY I can't wait for Voodoo!

    Hey guys -- looking forward to Voodoo but haven't purchased tickets yet. For those who have gone to Voodoo Fest in prior years, as far as I can tell purchasing VIP tickets do not offer better seating just access to perks - parking, bathrooms, rest areas etc. and a spot in covered pavilion seating WAY in the back (no way im sitting in the back!!). Is it really worth the extra dollars??

    Also, for purpose of planning, is it like jazz fest with people claiming lawn with blankets, etc or are everyone just packed together? does the crowd "change over" with each set or must you grab your real estate early and not move? I am not expecting to be able to ride the rail -- dont have the stamina and like to partake a few beers and mingle around -- but would like to be no more than "half way back on the floor" distance if this were an arena show. thanks for input.
    the all encompassing trip

    I've never gotten VIP tickets for Voodoo, but I think you're right about the perks. I wouldn't pay for that, to be honest.
    It's not going to be hot, so who cares about shady seating?
    Port-o-potties are gross no matter who uses them!
    You can park away from City Park and take the streetcar, so meh to parking.

    As for claiming real estate, I do believe people are going to get there early and ride out the crowd/other bands to be close for PJ. I feel like the crowd won't be too tight until it gets closer to PJ time...unless Macklemore plays the same stage right before PJ. My plan is to get there early and stay at that stage (and hope no other bands I want to see play different stages!)
    With new PJ friends around, I think we can hold spots for each other while we get drunk and leave to pee.

    Unless someone has been lying to me, there is an entire area in front of Mccready for VIP.

    See message #23 in this link for the pic. You can see the defined area up front to the right of the pic... directly in front of the stage!

    It was on the voodoo site but I can't find it.
