Incubus?

[billyzabka]

Anyone going to the Incubus concert @ City Market friday? Never been to a concert there - any suggestions (parking, pre-concert bars, etc...)

[kougar24]

Is that the Buzz Under the Stars one?

[ECN]

ive been to a couple of shows there. and i do my shopping there.

parking is just all over.

i live a few blocks from there.   

its a tightly wound area...youll run into something for your likings.

[billyzabka]

Is that the Buzz Under the Stars one?

yeah, I think there is one more later on in the summer with Modest Mouse too.

for clarification:

there are 3 upcoming concerts at city market.

Incubus
Modest Mouse
Buzz under the stars


I saw O.A.R. at city market last year.  loved it.  Great natural slope toward the stage and the beer is relatively cheap for a concert.

As ECN said, parking is all over, there is a parkinglot west of city market (near that pizza place, name is slipping right now) but I"m sure it will be full in 30 seconds.  You will just have to drive around in the alleys till you find something.

I plan on going to incubus and (MM w/ kilgore)

My wife is going.  I'm staying at the Savoy.

dr00d: Incubus and Modest Mouse are Buzz Under the Stars concerts.

Where do they set up the stage? (I've never been to a concert there)  Can you park at the park and ride at 3rd and Grand?  I'd guess that would fill up pretty quickly, too, but nothing like Minsky's.  Personally, I'd take the bus if I was going.

I like Harry's Country Club for neighborhood drinking.  Used to love the Cup and Saucer. 

[dr00d]

derrrrrrrr, sorry I meant "beachball" not buzz under the stars...it's one of those things where I read it and it got stuck on my fingers as I typed.

stage is set up in the NE corner of the marketplace area (it's the low point of the whole area) directy behind the arabian steamboat thing.

Minsky's was the pizza joint I was talking about earlier.

I have no idea about Public transportation in that area.

[billyzabka]

Thanks for the info guys. Should be a good concert - I was hoping to see them at Red Rocks tonight but being a responsible working adult got in the way (f#@k, I wish i was still in college).

[ECN]

harrys is nice.



do NOT eat at dos hombres.  barf.

The Max and 51(?) go from the Plaza to at City Market.

[ECN]

the MAX first year anniversary this july 24th!

[ECN]

Visit many of the same attractions previously visited by
the Kansas City Trolley (plus some additional ones) easily
on the MAX. Starting at Country Cub Plaza or the River
Market a full day of fun can be designed for any group’s
interest. As an example try starting at the River Market
and visit the Steamboat Arabia Museum. Before getting
on the MAX try the new Italian Gelato (ice cream) shop
in the Market. Stop at the Crossroads for art galleries
and Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolates. Union Sta-
tion, Crown Center and Liberty Memorial stops provide
lots of activities. The Science Center and traveling exhibi-
tions are at Union Station. The Hallmark Visitors Center
(closed Sunday and Monday) at Crown Center does a
great tour of Hallmark and Kaleidoscope provides free
creative art sessions for children (individual and family
sessions are available. Call 816-274-8301). Another
stop for art lovers is Main at 45th street. The Kemper Mu-
seum of Contemporary Art, the Kansas City Art Institute
and the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art are all east of this
station. The Plaza has great shopping and food and Mill
Creek Park if you want to stretch your legs on its trail. Of
course there are great places to eat all along this route.
Ask for a Day Pass before putting $3 in the fare box
and you can get on and off the buses all you want that
day. The MAX runs about every 15 minutes during the
week and on Saturdays. Sundays they run about every
30 minutes.
Have a great day exploring the downtown corridor.

Its usually not hard to find parking for River Market concerts, they're generally easy to get into and hard to get out of.
The last concert I went to there I took a cab from The Cashew to River Market, then after the concert walked up Grand to 9th St and grabbed a cab back south to 20th Street.

I was thinking about going to see Incubus but then I found out that Guru from Gang Starr is playing with Jazzmatazz at a bar in Westport.
Jazzmatazz > Incubus.

[billyzabka]

Jazzmatazz > Incubus.

I've listened to some of their stuff but it's not really my thing. To each his own I guess.  Thanks for the cab info though - i might try that.

[Motivational Tool]

I'm going...but since I'm 7 months pregnant, I'm not nearly as excited as I would have been.  I hadn't even thought about the parking situation.  Ugh.

You need this as your sig:

I've been an uncle for 13 years, actually. It's good stuff.

Don't forget to only smoke Marlboro Ultra Lights during the last few months.  Ya know, for the baby n all.

[greasd up deaf guy]

I'm pretty geeked about that Modest Mouse show.

[michigancat]

I'm surprised no one has belittled Incubus fans yet.

[greasd up deaf guy]

Not my cup o' tea, but I don't dislike them to the point of mocking someone.
