He stressed that it's only a possibility, but I assume that they will reissue the tickets at some point in time.
Good luck all.
Hey
Thanks Kiliger!!!!! That is cool news. Hopefully some tickets will become available!
If you are looking for a ticket dont forget The Realist is having a contest for a FREE TIX! Muy simpatico! What you need to do is email the realist at pixiestrivia@hotmail.com. The top scoring quiz taker will win a free ticket. Entries are due TONIGHT (Sunday) at midnight, so get motivating!!
Thanks Chilic
good luck.
Here is this list of ticket requests in the order posted since 4/8. These names will remain on the list until they post they have received tickets. Good luck and good karma to all!

If you are looking for tickets and want your name added to this list, PLEASE post the following info. However looks like your best bets right now are The Realist's quiz and Calling TM on Monday.
How many tickets Wanted; How you became a Pixies Fan; Why you want these tickets on the board and I will add you to the list tomorrow night.
Also, if you posted your request before 4/8, please post again if you are still looking. Sorry for the hassle but this way the tickets will go to people who still need them.

LoganZ...you're 1 step ahead of me  ... because im in da-nile still... i don't think it will be real until a month later when I am listening to the cd at home...I completely feel like I am 15 again. I am so hyped it's hard to sleep and am day dreaming about this show 24/7.
Andres, Thanks for the shh-naps 
actually I dont need a place to stay but thanks for the offer. The good news is my partner is also going to adopt two fans as well
seeing that there is a 2 cd limit per person. We never knew the adoption process could be so easy!
Good suggestion about places to go/stay
I myself am pretty new here so maybe others will have better advice.
Wheres the place??: Honestly I dont really know
I havent gotten out much since we moved here
The Fine Line is cool
Weve also been to the Local
an Irish bar on 10th and Nicollet Mall Road. There are a lot of places downtown where the show is but also a lot of places in a neighborhood called Uptown
which is the trendy area. Suggestions? http://www.the-local.com/home.html If anyone isn't 21 or doesn't drink...I know there are a lot of cool coffee houses here. There's one that I know that's a little out of the way. It's called Expresso Royale. It is on Hennepin and either 12th or 13th st. Not sure how late it is open tho.
Lunch?: Havent been out to lunch much but I have been to Pizza Luce by the Fine Line for dinner
I bet it is open for lunch too. The pizza, the atmosphere and the service is good. They give out lots of yummy chocolate mints too. As far as nite stuff goes
I am pretty sure they have djs and stuff late nite too. http://www.pizzaluce.com/
Breakfast: Keys Cafι
it is a chain but there is one near the Fine Line. Its located at across Let it Be Records on Nicollet between 10th and 11th. http://www.keyscafe.com/
Hell's Kitchen is very cool but a little more pricey (approx $8-15) for breakfast. But the atmosphere is fun in a dark sort of way. http://67.36.169.126/planet99/minneapolis/restaurants/12281.html
I am sure some you guys know the area better than me
so let me know if you could help me out here. My bet is people at the show will have some good ideas too.

| I'd highly recommend Hell's Kitchen for breakfast or for lunch. Daisy's right though, it's not bargain basement fare. |

| Also, if anyone's into sushi there's a good place called Nami real close to the Fine Line. Origami is also good (probably slightly better) but a few blocks further away. |

| Yeah, for some strange reason even though I can't wait and it's been on my mind nearly 24-7 since I managed to get tickets, it just doesnt seem real. I'd pretty much resigned myself to never being able to see them live either and now it's finally almost here and I'm confused and probably not as excited as I should be. We'll see how I feel the day of the show. Less than 3 days...........ARGHHHHHHH |

I think the wierdest thing about this show is the venue size. The last time my wife saw the Pixies they were on a huge U2-ready stage 100 miles away, and there were 15,000 people in the crowd. Personally, I have never seen the pixies live (sore subject), but I have always imagined it this way.
Seeing the Pixies on such a small stage, in such a small venue, is going to be like having them play a set in my living room. I also have no idea what to expect. I am glad I am seeing them again in Winnipeg, it will be interesting to see the difference between the shows.

I don't know why we didn't start with the Adoption program from before... right now we would be able to share such a moment w/ so many people... but as a philosopher said one time -no, wasn't black Fran...-: the worst task is the one never initiated.
If someone needs something once in MPLS, just let me know. I'll be more than glad to help.
I sent the Pixies questionaire and have no answer yet... well, I can imagine how many people have applied so far...
Daisy's recommendations couldn't be more precise. Those places are very good. Uptown is trendy but with tons of places where to go and have some good coffee/wine within an artistic environment. For instance, The Barbette at 1600 lake St. is awesome.
I met a guy in Colombia while working at the Police Department -no realistic, I'm not gay- that showed me the Pixies for the first time. From that year, 1997, I've been totally entrapped by that band and I'll be forever I guess. Some people ask my reasons to listen to it 24/7 and the only I can say is "Pixies one day, Pixies the rest of your life".
Have you had sleep lately? I couldn'i if I were you...

hey Daisy Girl,
Thanks, but I actually won't need a CD now. I was telling a friend how I might get hooked up, and he revealed that he pre-ordered 2 cds (one for me!!). He was going to surprise me, but had to tell me when I told him I was asking for one. Looks like good karma all around 
Thanks for being so cool though.
Have fun at the show!! |

Here are some pictures I took of the venue today.
The yellow van above is the Pixies' van -- I shit you not.
And here's the calendar posted out front. The only mention of the Pixies you will see anywhere posted on the venue.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but is anyone planning on taking photos? I can't wait to see what they all look like together nowadays.
 It's getting colder.... |

Hi Daisy Girl,
I saw your post on the Fine Line Rehearsals thread about the "adopt a friend program".
Like I mentioned, I'm pretty sure I have a cd for the 13th. But if the Pixies for whatever reason wind up playing an extra show before then (I know, I know...the bands playing on monday are real, and it's highly unlikely that the Pixies will play before tuesday) but if they do, and if Disclive is there and someone from this board gets to go, can you please pick me up a copy?
Although I'll never be able to see the Pixies first show back, I would love to hear it!!
thanks foreva!!! |

Kimmy, D You're welcome sista! I will definately go to Fine Line tomorrow and see what is up..if they're cd's...I will get you one and me one...I will also try to pick up more if possible...
Roomloo...thanks so much for the photos..cool
LoganZ I can tell that you are such a fan that no matter what the show is like you are going to have an awesome time. Honestly I think when the show comes we'll all be in the moment and hopefully make the band feel like they've got the best fans ever!! My guess it's a little intimidating for The Pixies too. And if the rest of the fans are like the ones here, I think the band will be impressed.
I update the list if needed later. Ciao! |

I guess I should post my info again...
how many tickets wanted: 1 or 2
how you became a Pixies fan: a kind soul at electric fetus recommended doolittle when I was 13.
why you want these tickets: because I've never ever seen the Pixies or the Breeders or the Catholics or anything Pixies-related live, and this is my only chance to see them on this tour...maybe ever! pleeeeeease! 
email: lafemmeaffole@yahoo.com
PS- so should I call ticketmaster on monday morning, or would they be available online as well? cos I've had some baaaad experiences with buying tix thru ticketbastard by phone. and what time is this again, 11 am right? I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for a miracle. |

Kimmyd--
I am not a rock star but way back in the day i guess you could say i partied like one though i wouldn't reccomend it You rock too!! I wish i you were comming to the show on Tues so I could say hey.
I heard from someone I trust that nothing is going on tomorrow night.
But there is a band on the FineLine's website. I will go at 8/9pm and check out the show just as an excuse to get out. But its not likely to be the Pixies.

heya. i know it's rather late to be asking someone to help me out with a cd, but if you could, it'd make me eternally happy. serious thanks to whoever can help, rich (rjtonge@hotmail.com)
(if a woe story is in order: ive been really into the pixies since high school (i left 8 years ago-oldie!) and figured i wouldnt get to see the pixies live. i moved from the uk to japan 2 years ago, and dont get back til the end of august (the week after v festival). i got tickets to one of the london shows but cant get the time off work to go so gave the tix to a couple of friends. also, im leaving japan the week before they play the fuji rock festival, so I miss them here, too. :( )
