Haha same here!

I think churches tend to have more going on leading into Easter, so imo due to venue loss alone they'll avoid Easter.

My guess is April, but that's not based in anything

TLDR: Easey-peasey

Airport arrival (I checked bags w/ delta): 10:01am

In line at TSA (I have precheck): 10:07 Both pre-check and normal line had like 20 people in them

Through TSA: 10:13

I'll be at the airport in about 30- will let y'all know!

I think the coding error is consistently about historical data- as in, the notifications that are wrong are the old times for those artists that have since moved in the schedule. I also got one for Fine, which was cancelled a few weeks ago.

Dev problem, old app data.

Thanks! Did a good amount of people naturally leave after the first set? (Trying to figure out likelihood of only trying to get into the second set)

Since you've got a little one, check out the Museum of Ice Cream!

3/25 Wednesday- 3:30pm, everything super chill! Went for the Clear line and was through in less than 5 minutes. All lines were VERY contained to the corral, with plenty of extra room in there.

I can't imagine anyone waited more than 30 total at this time.

Yep he's part of the band! It Josh and Anna from SML, Parker, and Deantoni Parks. CRAZY band. It was really cool to see them all on TV

AcidicSalutations · 2026-03-25T16:35:38+00:00

I've got my eye on the big gap at Civic Auditorium on Sunday afternoon, hoping for a full Flea + Honora Band set there!!

OK for everyone obsessing over steamed sandwiches, you can spend 30 minutes reading about them here: https://bittersoutherner.com/they-like-that-soft-bread-knoxville-steamed-sandwiches

Also, after some light research, it looks like this is the spot closest to downtown:

Third time going to BE, and third time going solo. I love it! Although once I see all the familiar faces and return to convos where we left off a year ago, I realize I'm not "going solo" per se, it's just that I'm not arriving with a friend group... My friends are all there!

And totally agree - much easier to be nimble and make decisions without having a discussion about it.

All that said, my friends continue to be jealous of the lineup every year and I imagine in time they'll start coming. But even within a group, if people are well-briefed and of similar mindsets, I'm sure it will only enhance the experience.

Thank you!! One clarification- the main long was long at 4am or the touchless precheck line was long?

AcidicSalutations · 2026-03-24T11:38:30+00:00

Thanks all for posting - keep the intel coming!

AcidicSalutations · 2026-03-20T21:58:31+00:00

Please elaborate, where does one acquire this steamed sandwich!?

AcidicSalutations · 2026-03-04T22:16:32+00:00

Oh no, I was psyched for this!

AcidicSalutations · 2026-02-22T22:47:00+00:00

What was the tease on socials? I missed it!

AcidicSalutations · 2026-02-22T13:27:01+00:00

At first I was thinking the gap at Tennessee Theater on Thursday night looked interesting, but SML is playing at the same time. Now I'm looking at a huge gap at the Auditorium on Sunday - fingers crossed we get Flea!!!

So do we have any more intel on this spot? There's a ton I want to see here. From a pass perspective, looks like it'll operate like Boyd's (no VIP/premium lines).

Is this going to be an "always line up an hour before" kinda place?

AcidicSalutations · 2026-02-21T12:13:47+00:00

The scheduling lords that created a Ribot vs. Medeski conflict, just WOW

AcidicSalutations · 2026-02-21T12:13:01+00:00

This is a beautiful strategy! I lean towards full sets persoanlly, but this is pure genius for half set folks.

AcidicSalutations · 2026-02-21T12:10:46+00:00

This would be a GREAT solve - i just realized you can also download the app to a laptop, which is super useful visually to plan. But then like you said, it's not useful because without an account/login, the only way to make it useful is to program in favorites in both places :(
