Just got my tickets for my first NO concert. I know they don't play for very long but am VERY excited.
Anyone going know of a good New Wave club to keep the party going after Barney and Co. clear the stage?
Thanks,
Mike C. |

ahem...Mr. Giles...if you see this...I forgot that there is a decent boozer about a mile away from the venue...well...decent if you don't mind a dive bar...otherwise we can do up a place in Deep Ellum and then take the train for a bit...
the good thing about the dive bar is, it actually opens at 11....the rest of the places I'm looking at don't open until 4...and as I pointed out...this is Texas-OU weekend...meaning there will be a shit load of drunken college football fans wandering the streets...
anywho...everyone chime in...
Lee Harvey's (yes, the dive bar is named after the alleged JFK assassin) or Anvil Pub (Deep Ellum establishment) or any other suggestions....

Strangeways on Fitzhugh plays a lot of new wave (playlist can be Smiths heavy at times) and they have a great beer selection and full bar. About 4 miles from Palladium. Oh, and, can't wait for this concert. As OP, my first NO show. Just adding that Strangeways is more of a nice dive bar (??) than a club. EDIT: I a word. Also, adding info.

It's only about a mile walking from the Adolphus to the Palladium...so about a five minute cab ride...

I'm learning that Dallas is expensive this time of year. Football game, someone said. Convention too, perhaps. No $$$ for Paris Hilton, though. Would rather stay at SUPER 8. |

Strangeways was quite interesting...but the transit options don't seem very kind...
there are also a couple of decent enough boozers IN downtown...then we can take the train for a little bit...then hoof it about half a mile...
or there's Deep Ellum...
or the massive Trinity Hall...but that place will deffo be packed the day/night before the Texas OU game...
grrrrrrrr....why can't there be a decent boozer right by the venue???

1st time poster  Greetings all. Have tickets to tonight's show in Dallas but can't make...meaning I've STILL only seen them in concert once...1993 Shoreline, Mountain View. Also meaning I have 2 tickets available  . Asking face value + tax, $127.00 total. They're in pdf so I can email them. I can dust off the Paypal account, or we'll figure something out.

Just got home from the show. It was my first New Order concert been waiting for over 20 years. It was the best show I have ever been to. They played for about two hours. Got to see my favorite song performed live (True Faith). Plus they played some Joy Division. Also me and my wife where right up front. The only thing that would of made it better is if I could of got there autographs. To everyone that went I hope you all had a great time. I hope they come back so I can see them again.
