Louisville - Kentucky Center - 2nd August
I'm going to Louisville again! Managed to get VIP after 20 tense minutes of refreshing, so I guess someone was holding them and timed out. 2nd row, exactly in the middle.
At least, I sure hope I got it, the website was dying- it errored the first time I tried to checkout (so much panic) went through the second time, but I'm still half paranoid that it's not actually real, even though I have the confirmation email and my credit card is a bit lighter.
Just a long time to wait now.

If anyone is planning to go to this show, it's not cancelled (the venue recently had a fire) but has been moved to a new theatre. They're also releasing more tickets (starting at $15) this Friday, July 6th. More details here: http://www.kentuckycenter.org/all-shows ... introverts
I was reading about this yesterday and got an automated phone call about it today. What a mess! I hope they're able to get the Center cleaned up and back in order soon, it was a nice theater when we were there for TATINOF, but it sounds like there's still a lot to be done and they don't even have an estimated date yet.
I'm a bit bummed about it being in an amphitheater, because ew, outside. But I'll definitely take it over being cancelled. Waiting to see where my "comparable" tickets are going to be. It looks like the first row is one seat shorter, and the second row is two seats shorter, and gets worse from there by several each row, so some people may get shifted back. Good thing it wasn't sold out I guess?
Also I'm glad I procrastinated on getting a hotel room.

Hey fellow Louisville person
This date is/would be my second show and I’d be coming from out of town as well. If Louisville is like some other parts of the south it might get pretty sticky sitting out there in that audience (not to mention for the guys on stage!)...and do not forget to pack bug spray. I’ll admit, the other theatre location gave me the confidence of both being in a comfortable (AC’ed!) space for the show even if it ends up being super humid out and accessibility (the amphitheater seems to be in a more isolated area on the outskirts of the city vs. downtown)...but it might be neat to see them in a different type of venue (since it looks like they’re only doing two other shows outdoors). Did you find out about your new seats yet? I called in this afternoon and they have me in pretty much the same exact place, so hopefully yours work out too!
That being said, I’m *slightly* on the fence about still going...but I’ve never been to Louisville so, at the very least, it’ll be a chance to check out a new city

Hello! I'm not actually from Louisville either, but it's the only show I have tickets for. I was reeeeally tempted to go for Nashville as well, but with it being the next night I thought it might be a bit much. Kinda regret it though.
I finally got my new tickets today, and mine are in pretty much the exact same place as well. Which logically I figured, but for some reason I was anxious about it anyway, so glad that's set.
The amphitheater is farther from downtown, but it's at least near the airport, so there are hotels and (more importantly) restaurants in the general area because of that, although I'm not sure what you had in mind to check out. I've been to Louisville a few times, but mostly short visits like this one, so not sure how much help I'd be with advice on what to see.
If you do drive downtown, be warned that it's much easier to get in than it is to find your way out. The interstate entrances are a bit hidden!

Just got back - had a lot of fun of course. Nothing too unexpected because I like spoilers, but I definitely grinned for two solid hours.
Oh and Phil with the ripped jean shorts with a distracting tiny sliver of thigh, that was a thing. (He also had two little red places on his shin when he sat on the edge of the stage, like bug bites? Just... that’s how close he was.)
A few token shoutouts:
The mom who asked me if I was there with my daughter, who I replied to with I AM the daughter. (Aka how to tell you’re too old for this.) She also won the parent award with her very staged photo, so congrats.
The staff guy who saw the girls with cat whiskers and just went “oh! Kitty cats!”
The ice cream driver who did some great business but really needs more than one jingle on his van. (I will have that in my head all night.)
The lazy moth that just wanted to lay at Dan’s feet. Same.
I don’t know if I have anything actually coherent to say about the show - def more low key than tatinof in a good way. The audience is very predictable and they know how to play it well. And it’s cute seeing Phil’s little jump when he wins something no matter how often he’s done it. It was also amusing how he very much never ever looked at the people in front of him, always either above us or down or sideways.
They didn’t have the hexagon, I guess due to lack of space, but I don’t know that anything was lost but a bit of style.
Also my M&G pic is the least ugly photo of myself ever taken so Dan is magic. And Phil’s eyes are lovely. Phil is lovely, they’re both lovely, oops I’m grinning again.

Thanks for your review, apathy, and glad you had a good time and a nice M&G with the boys!
I did end up going as well and very much enjoyed my time in Louisville (and got some goooood southern eats in) and, of course, the show.
apathy has already covered some of the standout moments from this date (their ad libbed reactions to the bugs/moths that kept flying around them on stage were especially amusing…Dan’s lazy moth friend and Phil actually jumping a bit at one point because one flew right up in his space). And that “icky van” as young Phil would say was something else blaring that odd little tune on repeat right by the line to get in. Definitely helped set the tone for a kooky summer night in the woods with our favorite saucy English lads
I’ll keep it (relatively) breezy this time with just some general points/moments that especially made me smile:
Also, there were a few tiny goofs, like
Overall, had a lovely time, our outdoor audience lucked out and got a pleasant evening (no rain and not too humid), and now I’m a bit melancholy that it’s all over…but look forward to hearing how the rest of the tour – and everyone else’s experiences – go in the remaining weeks (and everyone's reactions to the recording once it's released, whether you're able to see it live or not )!

Hey, glad you ended up going too! We actually ate at a Vietnamese restaurant there for the first time, southern food is pretty common to me. Nice to read your thoughts, you picked up a few things I didn't catch as much, especially since I hadn't seen the whole thing before.
Dan pulling Phil back with the crab walk thing was great! And his laugh with it. I had no idea if they'd done that at other shows.
The comment with the apron... I mean, you couldn't really see his shorts under it, so it was A Look.
It was definitely a sliver of thigh - I accidentally got a shot of it from the M&G as well, he was wearing the same shorts. You could actually see half his pocket inside through the slit. It was kind of hypnotizing... and probably not in the way that other people might find it (I'm still ridiculously ace) but more in the sense of, WOW, here's Phil in 2018 with the confidence to walk out on a stage and own it. For a guy who seemed to feel awkward about any jean rips at all less than a year ago, that's a huge turnaround. I definitely agree with you that Phil was gorgeous and I was probably creepily staring at him most of the time. He somehow looks a lot more intense, for lack of a better word, in person.
I'm not sure how I would've coped if the death pit hadn't been there to keep me farther away.
