I got tickets for the antlers tonight and am really looking forward to it. Do you think if I get there at 10 I will be waiting outside for a bit?
My first sled island show and I don't know what to expect. Thanks.

How did you get single show tickets? At the door?

I think so, depending on the venue. There is a risk though that the venue will be at capacity, and won't be able to allow more entries.
http://www.sledisland.com/advance-tickets-two
While the Festival Discovery Pass is the recommended way to experience the overall festival, we realize not everyone has the chance to attend all four days. As such there are a limited amount of advance tickets available for select shows through out the festival.
WALKUP TICKETS
Door tickets are available for those looking to catch last-minute action, show up early to get in! Prices Vary. Available at all venues (except for Hot Snakes at Dicken's on June 21st) subject to capacity.
I think priority is given to pass and ticket holders, then walk-ups are allowed entry. I will know more about how this works Thursday (working the doors at National).

I think you will be fine. I plan on getting there around 10:30-11ish.
If last night was any indication, unless you come like 10 minutes before The Antlers go on you should be fine. From what I heard from people coming in, the longest lines were about 15-20 minutes for people with passes and tickets and that was about 10 minutes before the Dudes went on.
I think it will be a little busier tonight, but not that bad. Just a guess though.

They said there will be a few tickets at the door tonight, but you will probably have to get there early. Like before the first band goes on at 9.

My band Night Committee plays twice - tomorrow night with Hot Snakes at Dickens and saturday afternoon at Broken City.
Hot Snakes have been my favorite band for a decade. Still can't believe we're playing this gig.
Come out and catch us if you get a chance!

Shadowy Men were so fun. I'm not going to be able to get to sleep!

Sweet! I was planning on checking out Miesha and The Spanks, so I'll have to stick around.
Oh, and The Antlers were freaking AMAZING. Holy smokes.

Still not over it. Wake, putting the dog to sleep, atrophy and I don't want love were all so great. But Wake especially.

The combo of Indian Handcrafts/And So I Watch You From Afar/Russian Circles last night was just incredible. I still can't believe I got to see ASIWYFA in Calgary. The secret band there ended up being Boris, and while I'm disappointed I missed them, there are still other opportunities to see them this week. Glad I got to see Trust last night too.

The comedy show at the Auburn Saloon was excellent. I saw 8 bands at the Legion. Ketamines, Bloodhouse, Grave Babies and Fist City all had blistering sets. One dude was taken out on a stretcher with a head wound.
I feel like I was witness to a historic event, seeing the reunion of The Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet. IIRC, they have not played in 17 years, and they are only doing two shows. I got the limited edition poster, signed by the bass player Good. They were well rehearsed - no rust at all, and didn't miss a note.
It sounds like there were great shows at Republik and Dickens too.
Today I am at National Music Center - hope to get to Dickens later.

Troutman, did you catch the Shrapnelles? Did they have a short set or something? I went over a little before 10 to catch the end of their set but there wasn't anyone on stage. Stayed for a couple songs of the Ketamines, wasn't really for me though.
Heading to the Block Party after work and then to Dickens to catch Miesha and The Spanks. I think tonight will be an early one though, I'm exhausted.

The Shrapnelles only played for about 20 minutes. It was a really sloppy set - I think they were trying new material. The other time I saw them they played garage guitar rock, and last night was more synth-y and new wave-y. They were wearing masks. The music wasn't great this time, but they are damn sexy.

He's playing with the Hurtin' Albertan's eh? (Corb Lund's backing band).

Is John Reis touring with them? If so, you should ask him to bring RFTC next year...or even Night Marchers.
If not, you should tell Rick Froberg to bring John Reis/RFTC/Night Marchers next time!
