I'll let them spread the word when they're ready and one of them has REALLY BIG news regarding the show...I don't want to spoil her story. I'm so thrilled for them, especially since there's also supposed to be a meet and greet too. If I could get up there I was invited to go to the show too but there's no way I can afford to go to NY. He plays in Boston the next night and I'd love to go there too...Oh well, I guess I'm destined to never see Lukas OR Toby.
Oh, I guess it won't hurt to tell you that it's two of the new Team MiG members who had their first MiG Meet in New Jersey...that should all but give it away... along with the fact that the show is in NY...

Me too!!! I sure hope Lukas (with or without his band Stars Down) makes it to this area one of these days. If not, I may just have to make an effort to go see him perform in CA at some point. I'm glad some TMers are going to get that chance soon!

One of the people going to see Lukas is me From Wanda and Wendy (our newest member), I'm slowly becoming introduced to his music. I like what I'm hearing so far! Wendy had gotten a couple of free tickets so we are off to see him this coming Sunday at the Highline Ballroom in NYC. She will have some big news but she will be able to post all about that...I'm not going to spoil it So yes, there will be a meet and greet and I'm looking forward to that. Wendy has met him before. I'll be a virgin at this show like I was when I saw MiG in Jersey City. It will be worth it though. You'll be getting recaps from me and Wendy. Any songs I should record on my camera?

Wanda, I forgot to mention! Wendy did say that Lukas will be performing in VA. Did you know that? I wish you could go with us. We are still going to hold the extra ticket for you!!! I know though - the trip is far and I'm sure plane fare is way too expensive. I've been talking to people on the Con board who have to travel from GA and IN to see him here in NYC and they said it's too much.

Depends on where in Virginia. Anything within a 4 hour drive would be close enough for me to go see him and not cost too much...that's about a half-tank of gas up and half-tank of gas back so about $100 dollars in gas which I could probably swing. It was nearly 200 for my trip to NJ but gas is cheaper now. I'll be thinking of y'all Sunday night...

I will text you with updates Sunday night. I probably won't hear you with the noise but I can call and hold the phone up so you can hear him sing! Come to think of it, I didn't see VA dates on his website. Did you?

Laurie, I don't have text enabled on my cell cos I was getting spammed so I had it taken off. A cell-cert would be fine, in fact, it would be FABULOUS....And you probably wouldn't be able to hear me, lol. I'm up for a cell cert.....
As for the dates, I didn't really check them out but I'm going to now.
*e2a* Just checked it out...it's Vienna, Virginia on September 2. That's almost to DC and it's about 6 hours from me one way...to far to go so it looks like I'm out of luck. Did y'all know he was going to be in Hartford Connecticut too? That's not that far from ya, is it?

That's not that far from ya, is it? Well, if you get a phone call from me and just hear music, you will know where I am...LOL! Hartford is probably an hour or just over that. I know that the Idols are going to be in Bridgeport, CT Sep 6 and I know that isn't too far either. But do I have the money for any of this...no

Thank you so much, Laurie and Thank you also to Wendy...hope you both come on and post about your expience...Laurie as a Lukas virgin and Wendy as a true Lukas fan. I think I'm turning into a Lukas fan...it was an all aucostic show (just him) and I loved it!!! I know you probably read my email and saw my pics - wow, it was so great having you there by phone. I didn't mention to you that there were only about 80 fans there. The floor was empty. Since I had such a great view on the table on the side, I stayed there and put the phone down on the table. Did you hear the part where his guitar kept turning off - the duet with his wife that they had to redo? I wasn't sure if you knew what was going on. He is so funny and cute. I had a great time!!! Here is my recap: Wendy and I arrive at the Highline Ballroom at 6 pm. No one is outside but us - doors don't open until 7 pm. She had been telling me that Lukas dyed his hair pink in the front. Well I see him walking down the street towards us! You can't miss the pink hair - and pink sneakers...how cute!!! I freaked out and probably made Wendy more nervous - the reason we were there so early is because she won a dinner with him! How cool is that? So he is walking towards us with his wife, Kendra. I have never met them before so I wasn't a bit nervous...for once...LOL! So we walked into the Highline so Kendra could put our names on the list. Since Wendy was going to be gone with Lukas for an hour having dinner, my name had to go down separate in case I wanted to come back in early. I was planning on meeting Wendy's friend outside Highline and we were going to get dinner. So before Lukas and Wendy left, he says to Kendra while looking at me, "Take care of her" to which point I'm getting all fangirly inside So I waited outside with Kendra (very nice girl) and her and Lukas' friend, Thrasher (nice guy). At this point, other people were gathering outside and I was talking to them. Well, I guess other people knew of this girl I was supposed to be meeting and they tell me she is "stuck in one of the tunnels". Oh great. I'm starving. I was told at 7 pm that I could go inside because a booth was set up for me and Wendy. I chose to wait. At that time, I see Wendy and Lukas coming back. He tells us he wants us to come see him perform afterwards at some bar. Of course we had to catch the train back home so we knew that wasn't going to happen So he says, "See you guys later" and gives Wendy a hug and touches my shoulder (picture me going into fangirl mode) I end up eating inside Highline. They have these really good sliders and french fries. Everything is priced insane. A glass of diet coke cost me $4. The glass is tiny too. Wendy's friend finally shows up and she had brought other friends with her. We got a great table right on the side of the stage. As for the show, it was awesome...but...we were NOT allowed to take pics or video...not even from a cell phone. Thrasher was stopping everyone from doing that. I didn't bother trying. I heard that Lukas doesn't like the flashes, which is understandable. I called Wanda about a 1/2 hr. into the show. I figured she wouldn't hear the music and would have hung up...until I heard her screaming in the phone Between songs, it was quiet so I was able to chat with her. She was loving it and I was so happy that she was there with me, even though she wasn't actually there in person. So after the show, we get ready for the meet and greet. We are in the back of the line going up these stairs into a small room. Lukas starts chatting with everyone and taking pics. I'm glad Wendy and I were last because they would let you take your pic and then you had to leave. I had pics printed for him to sign. Right away he tells me that I'm a "cutie" and that I have "pretty eyes"...that sets me into fangirl mode! I told him that he was very sweet. I showed him my pic of him and his cutie chihuahua, Peanut. He kept saying that Peanut is cuter than him and I kept saying, "no he's not". He wrote, "To Laurie, you're a cutie (with a heart after that) peanut is cuter". Then he drew a mustache on Peanut and signed his name below. On Wanda's he wrote, "To Wanda, hope to see you soon", with his name and heart. I told him about the cell cert and he thought that was cool. Oh, Wendy had bought him and Kendra black & white cupcakes - I told him to enjoy them when we were leaving. I guess black & white cookies are a NY thing??? I say that because I've talked to people who don't know what they are. I don't think he knew. Kendra would know since she is from Bayridge, Brooklyn - same town as both my parents are from. But these cupcakes are to die for - they are just like the cookies, only in cupcake form. And we've only found them at Grand Central Terminal. We said our goodbyes and left to catch the train out of Grand Central.
