I've got my plane tickets and have booked a hotel room downtown. I am arriving in Indy on Thursday afternoon and am flying out Sunday morning.

I have not purchased tickets yet, though. I was able to purchase Friends of DCI tickets last year, but have not had as much luck this year. Anyone have the hookup? It looks like I might buy through PR so I can get some good seats. I'm going to buy Thursday's tickets at the gate depending on when I make it there.

So who else is going?

I'm not quite sure. I'm going to try and get my (college) band director to let me skip a day of band camp to go. It will probably largely depend on if DCI is going to give music teachers tickets for free for semis again.

Nope, all my friends will be partying without me. Though that's really been the case since I got married and was basically forbidden from teaching whole summers again.
I've got to be in Jersey that weekend.

maybe, I'm driving across country back to Indiana from my job in New Mexico. It just depends on how I feel when I get back.

So I can crash in your room Saturday night right?

Are you allergic to chloroform?

I bought tickets through Phantom for Friday and Saturday, so I'll be in Phantom's super premium block of seating... wherever that'll be...

Not that I recall. Gives me a headache, but that's it.

I'm flying in from Japan. 3 years w/o Drum Corps is too many for me.

Potentially. My girlfriend's family lives in Indianapolis, and I crashed there last year for finals week. It's a matter of getting the money to get out there, buy tickets, and get back.
