Des Moines Thread - ARCHIVE

Harley, there is no way the Iowa Events Center is two hours from the airport. My parents house is not two hours from the airport and they are 60 miles away. Have you been to the Des Moines airport? You can get downtown in between 20 and 30 minutes, unless there is a flood and you have to avoid it. The entire area of Des Moines doesn't take two hours to get from one side of town to the other, even during what they consider rush hour, but isn't if you've lived in a really big city.

Harleyblues was talking about San Jose I believe, in a different thread I said that a site had San Jose tix for sale but the costs were almost as much as the fanasylum package, espically when you include hotel, air and car. So what does everyone think about the pink glowsticks.
-
Then why did she post in here about San Jose. This is about Des Moines, not San Jose. I have two green glow sticks left over from the last tour and will try to find pink ones, but I will go with what I can find.
-
I'm not sure why she posted that here. I'm not for sure that was what she was talking about either. But hey at least she came and visited our little Des Moines thread, it's nice to have some more company now and again. I would love it if she came to this show also.

As a guy, I think I would be embarrassed to do it to. Maybe during Hey Jude.

But the pink glow sticks are for a good cause! You can always use green. I'm not going to let the green ones go to waste. I have had them for two years, waiting for another tour.
-
I'll be going to the Des Moines show, and am thinking about going to Omaha afterwards!( If I can find a ticket)! How about some kind of get together before or after the show???? :

FYI for anyone coming into Des Moines and looking for a motel - I forgot to mention earlier that there's a Quality Inn .1 mile from the Wells Fargo Arena - so really close but a bit further removed from the eating/drinking establishments downtown. Drove past the arena last night - it looks finished from the outside - can't wait to get in there! Tom Petty will be opening the place in July!

Thanks for the info Suess what time do the bars close up there, it's 3 on the Missouri side here and 2 on the Kansas side.

I'm going! I am really stoked that macca is coming to Iowa, AND it's a new arena (though I refuse to say W____ F____ Arena) Also of note, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson are coming to Iowa in July playing small baseball parks! Yay!
-
Seuss, is that what the hotel across the street from the old Vets is called now? It has been called so many things over the years? You can walk to it from the Arena.

Yes, I think it used to be a Starlight at one time. It's directly north of the arena - I had totally forgotten it was there - could only think of the places downtown.

I went to a wedding reception about 25 years ago there and we stayed there that night, but it wasn't being operated by the same people then as it is now.
