Raspbernie Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Eric tells me that the official time for the sellout from the House of Blues and Ticketmaster is four minutes (!), which makes it the "hottest ticket in the country last weekend." There are LOTS of cool things in the works including ---- -----, -- -----------, and you're not gonna believe this but the boys have been asked to ---- in -----! Sorry I can't say more, but that's the best I can do as negotiations are ongoing. But Eric did tell me to "hint that more is in the works" and as soon as anything is confirmed we'll "be the first to know."One thing's for sureÖ Raspberries are poised to go all the way. Again.Bernie :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argee Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 It sold out fast but not in 4 minutes. I do know GA tickets were still being sold at least 1/2 hour past the 10am start time. My wife got in via phone at 10:30 and although balcony were gone she was told she could still get GA tickets.Still, it sold fast and the demand is/was there. In fact when my wife told people where she worked about getting tickets, most ( 40-55 year olds) were not even aware that Raspberries were doing this concert and were disappointed that they missed out. The demand from NE Ohio alone if the word had gotten out would probaly have increased ten fold.Be that as it may, Bernie, if the concert starts at 9PM, I think the count down clock is off an hour?

Tiggsherby Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 No matter how BIG the tour gets, those there the first night, are really in for something special.....at least that what I have to convince my wife since it's costing me a nice penny to do the Cleveland thing!!!! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smittie Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Just when you thought it couldn't get any better---it does!! Isn't this an amazing adventure for everyone?!!! It certaintly has given the message board a whole new life! What will we talk about when the show(s?) are over? All of our wonderful memories & experiences - I hope!! This is a wonderful time for all involved. For those not going to the show,we will do our best to help you feel like you are there with us. With lots of pictures, postings and as much detail as possible. We'll also pray that the 'Berries will do more shows at a town closer to you, because that's what this post from Bernie seems to be hinting. And the way things seem to be going- Anythings possible as long as the fans continue to react as passionately as they have so far!! Let's keep the great karma flowing!!

mymooladi Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 I can't believe it gets better! I mean how can it get better than a reunion show? Now, more to follow? This must be so exciting for the guys. After all these years to have this kind of response, must make them feel pretty good. You guys are awesome, can't wait to see ya soon, at the HOB's.

Art Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Eric and Bernie: This is GREAT news. I was lucky enough to land balcony seats when the HOB member sale started. But, wherever you guys go to play, I'll be there too. Good luck and congratulations! Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlesteve Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 'berry, berry cool. Deserving, and perhaps finally getting their due. I hope the celebrities are out there on the 26th citing for Entertainment Tonight how the Raspberries inspired them...Would help to jump start a tour.SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I was watching NFL Primetime on ESPN. I watched the highlights of the Cleveland Browns beating the Cincinnati Bengals. Anchor Chris Berman forgot to say "Please....Go All The Way" instead of "He could go all the way" because Cleveland was on the 1 yard line on the other side & the quarterback Jeff (Jerry) Garcia threw a pass to a player 99 yards for the touchdown. I bet those dog fans are howling NOW!! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostControl Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 A few guesses as to ---- -----It's either got to be "play naked" or "play in Tokyo"! Seeing that Eric has such a large fan base in Tokyo, it wouldn't be too surprising to see them head over there. The playing naked is just my own fantasies...

BadfingerBarb Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Tour in Japan is most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-o Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Whereas Japan would be nice a tour of the States would be better. I hope they can strike a deal with HOB and do a limited tour of the States. With the HOB regional sites almost every berries fan would have an opportunity to see them and we could all die happy.Steve-O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwannabebymyself Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Wouldn't it be great if the phrase meant "play in house" as the HOB house band!!! At least if would be great for those of us who live in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougjack Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Okay, I think a consensus is building that "PLAY in JAPAN" is the solution to the 3rd word puzzle that Bernie started this topic with. I haven't seen any speculation as to the other two puzzles, but I think the 1st one is "MORE SHOWS" - pretty obvious, really. Bernie's been saying all along that a good response to the 1st show would be a strong catalyst towards doing more, and I don't know how you can do much better than a 4-minute sellout!!Now, as for the 2nd puzzle, I have no real idea yet, but I think the 1st word could be "AN". That would mean the 2nd word is 11 letters and starts with a vowel. Beyond that, I'm stumped so far...(fun to wonder, though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I agree with "more shows", or maybe "more songs". The other puzzle.....who knows? Or, to quote the group, for now "Nobody Knows". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argee Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 how about "TV Performance"Too bad MTV does not still do Unplugged or VH1 Storytellers. WOuld love to see Raspberries do an Unplugged of their material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspbernie Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 I was really hoping Cartmill was gonna weigh in on this one. Then we'd have guesses like:"There are LOTS of cool things in the works including NUDE SHOWS, 10 BARMITZVAHS, and you're not gonna believe this but the boys have been asked to RIDE in UFO'S!"Bernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordharris Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 LOL, Bernie, your a hoot.Ride in UFO'S. OK Eric pick me up on the way, okI have those big black egg shaped eye's.And grey skin.LolI'm a grey Alien. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 My guess would be Japan also....never been there myself before so this would be a good excuse.Other places with five letters.....Tulsa, Homer,Tampa, Boise, Chile, Tahoe, Paris, Minot, Vegas, Lanai, Eilat, Minsk, Dubai, Cairo, Milan, Turin,Corfu, Lucca, Split, Lagos, Dover, Davao, Malta,Macau, Quito......Most are probably wrong, but that's how hard it is to find a five-letter place.....
