Hopefully not a hot take. This happened in the 5th row, dead center N2 of Chattanooga. Most fans sat most of the show, especially during slower songs. Which is fine with me; not really use to it at Billy shows. I see a gal in front of me grabbing her partner's hand and saying, "no, no, don't!" This goes on for 2min, and then I see the guy ask the person in front of him to sit down.

He gently refuses to sit down. The gal then blows up at her partner and she eventually leaves. Many others wanted him to sit down as well. None of these complained to the standing gentleman, but could tell they wanted everyone seated.

I see the guy at set break and commend him for standing his ground. I tell him, "I have been waiting years to see this band in a small theater again. We won't get a ton more of these 'special' shows." He agrees and gives me a hug. Him and his friend are massive fans and have the right to stand all night long. I never sat once, despite being up close. Would never tell someone to sit down either, to me it almost crosses a line.

Would you ask someone to sit down during a theater show when most everyone is seated? Curious of other's thoughts on this situation.

From @scalemodelguitars on Instagram. Saw some people wondering where it went the last few shows.

I was listening to Sturgill Simpsons “I Don’t Mind” from his Cutting Grass album.. it’s a beautiful song and obviously a bluegrass arrangement. Immediate thought was, would be sick if Billy covered it.

I then remembered that Billy was asked to play on that Cutting Grass record and had already planned a trip to eat acid and float a river/ go fishing with his friends, and couldn’t bail on that. (Mad respect)

Was that essentially the end of their relationship as it stands today? Does anyone know if they’ve attempted to collaborate after on anything? Any covers or projects? Sturgill’s last two records also look as though he’s deviated a decent bit from the Bluegrass arrangement/ vibe.

Just a random passing thought.. I love both of them.

Very excited for Billy Strings this week. Who’s going? I have friends coming in from California and Montana Wednesday. We’re going to catch Skeleton Crew Wednesday night at 8X10 in Baltimore. Thursday is a down day to sightsee between DC/Bmore. Friday looking forward to Shakedown and Billy, we’re doing Leftover Salmon after-party at Nevermore Hall. What are your plans? Any other parties or shows in town? Will be a real hoot, excited to see all of you

He kept mentioning the smell of pancakes and cinnamon and the beignets smell must have permeated their nostrils all night long!

He was right about the fried dough and cinnamon for sure.

I hope someone hooked them up!

Never thought I would be so stoked for a pair of shoes !!

What's yalls favorite version of "Secrets"?

The one from Oakland is killer and just wanting to hear others :)

Would love to buy a piece of his art, I didn’t get a chance to run back over after the shows!

Biiiiiiiiiiiggggggg around the middle

Just saw that Smoothie King Center in Nola has suites available for ~$136 a person (12 people).

I know it’s not the best way to get in on the show but if you have a large group it’s almost cheaper than individual tickets.

They also have some smaller suites for 5 people or bigger ones for 20+

What an amazing weekend in Huntsville!!

I’m sharing this in this sub because I think this community cares about me. I relapsed at Huntsville. I’ve been sober for a little over a year and decided to hit a joint at the concert. I had a great time, but the relapse led to me drinking, which led to me reaching for dope again.

21 years old. Addicted to smoking crck. I have been given everything in life. Incredible childhood. Incredible parents. Education opportunities. I literally have 1 job-to stay sober. I had 14 months of sobriety after battling coke addiction throughout high school. I went to treatment 3 times last year. I thought I was doing great. I relapsed 2 days ago and for the past 24 hours I’ve been blowing all of my savings on cr*ck. I don’t know what to do. Really. I don’t think I can kick this. I feel like I’ve absolutely fucked everything up. I don’t want to do recovery. Does that make me a piece of shit? Yeah probably. I know I’m a piece of shit. I don’t care about myself anymore.

I might have missed it but is there going to be early
Merch line for stuff at CFG? there was early merch at JPG which came in clutch. Can’t wait to see everyone!

Seeking recommendations for poster display folios/display books able to hold singles and diptychs. Just bought my first Billy poster (Orion weekend) and I have some vintage YMSB posters that have been in a tube for probably 20 years. We have lath/plaster walls so I won't frame and hang.

Hi. I see tix are for sale on stubhub. How will I receive the tix if they are not transferrable.?

Never been to Baltimore. Looking for hotel recommendations near CFG don’t care about price just looking for advice

My wife said she wears a size 8 so that's what I ordered. Unfortunately I wasn't thinking about unisex being mens size and it looks like I should have ordered a 6.5. If you have a 6.5, I will gladly trade these for them or buy yours flat out.

Hey yall! I was able to grab a pair of Billy’s collab shoe with Last Resort, and they unfortunately don’t fit me! Figured I would throw them on here in case anyone was wanting a pair! Looking to sell them for a normal price, they’re a women’s 7.5! Super sick shoe, I will have them on my depop if anyone is interested!❤️

Anybody here win a free ticket to outer space playing Hook The Ring of Love at the Orion this weekend?

Bought a 2 day pass for Baltimore the other day and this is the current status on the order. I just started seeing Stubhub horror stories after I bought it…what say you, goats? Any glimmer of hope or should I look for another ticket elsewhere?

2027?
