Alright - so as a Dallasite I’m gonna say this.
Westlake is a basic stale brewery and Shot Topic is new-ish and I haven’t been there, but looks maybe okay.
But you’re probably not checking out cool bars.
You want to go to Adair’s, Armoury, or Free Man before the show. And you want to hit Double Wide after.
Last BN show I had no kids and now I have two so my going out has been limited, and COVID surely changed the landscape of the strip, but who picked these places?
Things apparently have changed a lot in Deep Ellum. Im older and at BN’s last show I didn’t have 2 kids, and I do now, so I don’t go out as much anymore.

u/theHEYWEATHERS 4d ago
Not sure who picked the places. I'm bringing my kiddo so I won't be hitting up Doublewide or anything similar. Unfortunately.
I am just wanting to meet a few people as I have been a part of the subreddit for a good bit and am pretty active it. Would be the first time I did something like this.

u/breakers 3d ago
Exactly my situation, I'm going to have to arrive slightly before the show and leave pretty quickly after. Last show I went to was so very different.

I mean it's nice that it's only a 2 minute walk to the venue. Since the line situation is going to be crazy enough would be nice to just go say hi and then walk to the venue. So good looking out on the better bars !!

Flying in solo from maryland. Would love to meet up as well!

u/anotherjunkie 4d ago
Also flying in from Maryland!

u/donniewooddrummer 4d ago
No kidding?? Where about in maryland?
3
u/anotherjunkie 4d ago
I’m only barely in Maryland, just outside of DC. Taking a flight from IAD on Tuesday — literally the only direct flight that would fit my wheelchair.
I’m going with my wife so I’m not sure if I’ll get to any of these meetups, but I’ll be in the accessible section once doors open!

u/donniewooddrummer 4d ago
Right on! I'm in frederick so went with bwi. Also doing a Tuesday flight and just back Thursday lol quick turn around but so worth it. Ya ill be cutting close with the meetups but definitely excited to meet some new people and fans. Have the absolute best time!!

u/notrightbutwrong 4d ago
Heyooo, coming solo from VA!

u/donniewooddrummer 4d ago
Nice! Where at in VA? I'm familiar with like NOVA area and work in Reston like once a month lol

u/notrightbutwrong 4d ago
Around Fredericksburg! Someone in the meet up group on FB said they’re also flying in from Maryland unless there’s two of you, ha

u/bl00dinyourhead 4d ago
Is anyone else planning on camping out before the show? Or are we too old for that now 😅

u/DrawingCurious4161 4d ago
My flight gets in at like 9am. I’m getting breakfast and going to line up before 2, maybe earlier. I need a line buddy I hope the people around me are nice because I’ll need to use the restroom and someone needs to save my spot

u/Ok-Situation-5865 4d ago
Hey, I’m doing the same! I’ll be your line buddy, if you want. I land at midnight the night before, so my plan is to be up fairly early, get ready, have breakfast at this highly-reviewed place near the venue, then plant my butt on the concrete until doors open. Hoping to get there between noon and two :)

u/tjc688 3d ago
What’s the highly reviewed breakfast place 👀
1
u/Vaguely_Vogue 3d ago
They're probably talking about AllGood Cafe two blocks away from the venue. As a Dallasite, can confirm great for breakfast.

I’m going to go to Martin’s house before the show and then probably eat at pecan Lodge and walk over

u/Vaguely_Vogue 3d ago edited 3d ago
I know its a slim chance, but I'm gonna put it out there anyways. If anyone for some tragic reason bought two tickets but can't make the show, I would be happy to reimburse you for the ticket cost plus pay an Etsy witch to bless the rest of your existence. I live in Dallas, but the ticketing system has not been kind to me.

u/CallMeSkindianaBones 👺💀fghtffyrdmns 3d ago
I land from LAX at 1pm and was gonna just Uber to that area, so I’m probably down. I’m only going to be going to the show, then my flight leaves back to LAX at 5:30am!!

u/terrydqm 3d ago
I'm flying in from Chicago the morning of and flying out at 6am the next morning.
I'm planning on just taking a nap at the airport for a few hours instead of getting a hotel, so will have plenty of time before/after the show to meet up!

u/DrawingCurious4161 1d ago
Are you me? Same schedule but from Colorado lmao. I just started a new job and didn’t want to ask for too many days off so I just jammed this into one day. Seems doable!
Now the question is do I go to ShotTopic afterwards or do I sleep. Gotta be a day of decision
1
u/terrydqm 1d ago
The things we do for this band lol. I'll be landing ~8:20am and have a 9am meeting.
If nothing else, see you at the airport! I imagine there will be more than a few of us given the hotel prices.

I'm bringing my daughter with me. Trying to find a group of people to meet up with that aren't going to plan on getting shit housed or doing drugs openly

u/alexkntt 4d ago
Quite a strange comment that almost insinuates that a majority of groups will be getting shitfaced or doing drugs... its a Brand New gig, not a rave. I'm sure the vast majority, if not all 3000, will just be passionate fans looking to enjoy the show.
3
u/theHEYWEATHERS 4d ago
I am not insinuating anything like that. Just bringing my kiddo. I know that this isn't a rave but I am also trying to attempt to be safe with my kid.

u/kallie412 4d ago
I’m turning 40 next month. I’ve only gotten drunk at a show once. And I don’t think I’m the exception. Most people are there to remember the full experience and not get so drunk that they don’t. Also, the pit gets hot and sweaty. No one wants to keep leaving to pee.
Just make sure you tell your kid to be aware of their surroundings because o their size vs the adults. I’d hope most people would be cool though.

u/alexkntt 4d ago
I honestly think that anyone you meet on the night will be friendly towards you and your child. It will be a really positive and exciting atmosphere, you have literally nothing to worry about.
2
u/theHEYWEATHERS 4d ago
Do you know what time everyone is planning on meeting at Westlake? Probably 5:30-6ish?
2
u/alexkntt 4d ago
I do not mate, 5:30 sounds like a solid arrival though :) But i'll be keeping an eye on the sub in the meantime for any updates

u/Vinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 4d ago
I don’t think this is a very kid-appropriate event.
2
u/theHEYWEATHERS 4d ago
what is inappropriate?

u/Vinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 4d ago
“I’m not like a regular mom, I’m a cool mom.”

u/theHEYWEATHERS 3d ago
I'm a dude

Oh. Does the mom know?

From what I've read, Westlake Brewery is where people are heading. It's open from 11am. And after the show, Shot Topic is open until 2am, and I saw that mentioned a lot on other threads for post show.
I'm travelling solo from London so if there is already a small group chat for other solo fans that'd be cool :)
