This is true. All depends where you are on the barrier. It was fine when I saw them in Houston and for most of the Phoenix gig (barrier for both); I got a lot of decent shots from both shows (click the link to see my photos from Houston, Austin, Seattle and Phoenix). There were a few moments in Phoenix when I got a lovely view like this, though.

Nah, we caught Tom Kirk after the Vegas show at the mixing desk - this is the show where we decided to hang out and have a dance party at the back of the pit. There were other people who wanted to talk to him, too, so I didn't think to ask him too much about it. My friends and I brought flags from each of our states and countries (I was with some boardies from the UK, France and Ireland) and gave them to him, so he said that after I gave him my Hawaii flag and a bag of local treats and souvenirs for the band, and told him where I was from. My prediction is in November, before they head over to Australia. That's if Tom Kirk wasn't talking about a vacation here. They do have a month off right now. I think it'd be worth their while to come here. I know a bunch of people here who like them - people I went to school with, people I used to work with, and another boardie on here (Kylee), as well. I'm a bit more hesitant to say if they could fill the arena here, even though it's on the smaller side as far as arenas go. Maybe a small venue if they decide to forgo the towers here (like if they decide to directly ship the stage equipment to Australia). Do you know about the member map on .mu? I checked it yesterday when I was uploading my concert photos and we're now up to 87 registered members. I remember when it was just me and Kylee. And it wasn't that long ago, either! There are usually signs posted if they do kick people out for doing that.

When I went to the Holiday Havoc gig in December, there was an after party at one of the clubs at the Hard Rock Hotel. (The concert venue was also in the HRH.) I went in with someone else on the boards thinking "Oh, they won't be there... though it'd be awesome if they were!" My pic with Matt is on my profile here.

Oh wow! Yeah, this should be cake for her! Good thinking. I had made these origami star lei for them because I didn't want to damage fresh flower ones. In the end, I only got to give one to Matt, but didn't get to explain anything at all about the meaning of it or anything... there was loud music and he was in a bit of a rush. Thinking it'd be cool if we gave them lei if/when they come to Hawaii. Tom Kirk said they were coming here soon; hopefully he meant for a gig. That's so random! The only time I was in the pitch area and not on the barrier was in Vegas a few weeks ago and we hung in the back, where there's a LOT more room AND a great, wide view of the stage. During the parts when they're on the towers, it was a bit better to be in the back. You could have a dance party like we did! Yeah if you're a friendly person. No idea. I know sometimes people do it when they can't handle the pit and need to get out. A lot of times, though, they seem to do it for kicks. There are venues that kick people out for doing that.

Hi, fellow Hawaii Muser! Well I'm 5'0" and I've been in the pit at a ton of gigs, most of them at the barrier. If your nephew doesn't mind being in close contact with other people, it should be fine. I've seen Muse multiple times this year and the crowd was quite tame this tour, so unless audiences in OKC happen to be on the aggressive side, there shouldn't be too much to worry about. Yes, I've met up with a bunch of awesome Musers from here! Best way to go! Sorry I'm not going to that gig!

Just saw the locked Hawaii thread you started. Yeah, when I went to go see Muse in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I talked to their media manager Tom Kirk (we were by the soundboard and he usually works there). I gave him a Hawaii flag, a lei and other local goodies for the band, told him I was from Hawaii, and he said, "Oh, we're going there soon." So we'll see if they announce a Honolulu date; hopefully he didn't mean for a vacation! Another batch of U.S. dates are set to be announced "soon." Hopefully they make a stop between North America and Australia, where they're rumored to play in November. Looks like there's a two-week gap between dates so it's possible. We'll see.

Hey Ana! Naw, we were gonna go to eat at IHOP but we couldn't find it so we went back to the hotel and slept since we had to wake up early the next morning for Vegas. It was great meeting you, too!
-
Hey! I was in the seats, so got a different vantage point last night, which was nice, actually. It's cool seeing the entire set from a distance, and the KeyArena actually isn't as big as the Toyota Center, so my sister and I weren't as far away as I thought we'd be. I'd say it was better than Houston in terms of the crowd energy in the pit (people were moving around a LOT, from what I saw), as well as the Microcuts riff, Ruled By Secrecy, and maybe the Star-Spangled Banner riff being thrown in to the mix. Plus I gave my sister her first live Muse experience and it was awesome seeing her react to the show. She was guessing beforehand what the towers would do and she even noticed the eyeball balloons at the top of the venue!

The lei were made of wide, study ribbon that you'd use for wrapping Christmas presents. You fold each strip of ribbon a certain way to make each star. It was a pain to make each one but they came out looking nice!
Yeah, I was pretty starstruck/stunned, to say the least! I was so shy and speechless, my goodness haha. I seemed more pre-occupied than shy. Hope you get the chance to meet Muse someday!
-
Hey! My encounter with Matt was very brief. He was his hectic self, saying "thanks a lot, thanks a lot" real fast when I gave him the lei I made for him. All I said was "hi," "I made this lei for you" and "thank you" lol. Hopefully I'll get a second chance to have an actual conversation with him haha!

Maybe you could buy one of those pouches with the wriststraps for your phone? I had my iPhone in my front jeans pocket (which is kind of deep) at the Vegas gig and I was right at the barrier. After the crowd pressing against me and the jumping around, my phone was fine. On the other hand, I have read on these boards of people losing their phones to pickpockets at gigs, as well. If you don't want to risk it and don't have a strong need for a phone at the gig, maybe you could leave it at home.

Hey mysticorac, I'm in the same section (211), row C, seat 3.
-
Coachella! Have fun there. I would go if I wasn't already doing so much traveling this year (for work and for Muse!).
-
RIGHT ON! You should meet up with us - I'll be with a bunch of people from the Phoenix/Vegas threads. There's a bunch of us who are flying in from Phoenix that morning.
OMG... your birthday is on July 4, too?!
-
I'm down for a meetup! Right now, I'm thinking of taking a train from Austin that day (I'll be there for SXSW that week) and I have a seated concert ticket, so I'm arriving in the mid-afternoon.
-
Yeah, I wish the whole thing with my wallet never happened. I wasn't thinking straight with three hours of sleep and just being tired overall after the concert.
"That's right, bitches - I lei'd Matt!"
Awww thank you! But I agree with you - Matt... *swoons some more* I've been sleeping with this picture.
I don't venture in the PMT but they'd probably be jealous/have a field day with it!
No, not a ton of fans hounding them, thankfully. After I lei'd him
he let out his adorable/hilarious laugh, then took off for a bit. Then later, when I came back from my hotel room, I took that photo with him. It was hard to talk in there because the music was so loud, and I couldn't form words! All I said to him was, "Hi," "I made this lei for you" and "thank you." And I touched his right shoulder when we took that pic together lol.Maaaan, I wish there was a way for all fans to meet them! I seriously didn't think that would actually happen to me.
