aberg83 Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Hey all... here's my situation. I'm 18 right now... turning 19 in less than 2 months. I've still been unable to see a Nero show. I haven't been able to come by a fake ID, nor have I really seriously tried looking. It sucks that I can't get into a club to see a band, just cuz of age, when I don't even intend on drinking anything other than sprite. I was wondering... those of you who've been to Babylon.. do you know if they allow minors to enter with an X on their hands, or, this is to the Nero guys.. do you have any sort of a guest list type thing that you can allow anyone to enter with, regardless of age? Maybe i'm way off the mark here, but I've been desperate to see a nero show for a few months now. And this xmas show just looks so appealing, being that school will be out for a few weeks, giving me a chance to celebrate. What better way than to enjoy a nice show. Anyways, if anyone can let me know what my chances are at seeing this performance, please reply. Thanks all, and have a great christmas.Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giggles Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Andrew, I for one enjoy your enthusiasm, and yes you must see a nero show and well, I beleive the 22nd would be a fine one for a first attendence. I do not believe Babylon will allow in minors, even with a stamp however, some of us are well know (or at least well recognised) with the door guys and I would guess (as long as you really don't intend to drink, I myself try not to) you would probably be able to walk on in with one of us more recognizable folk, and the whole ID thing not be a problem. However, if it were not to work, I don't know what to do. I will volunteer to accompany you in if you wanna meet before hand..... CAN ANYONE ELSE THINK OF A GOOD IDEA TO HELP OUR FRIEND ANDREW HERE....COME ON SANCTUARIANS, IT'S A GOOD CAUSE!!! Giggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Maybe he could come along and help Nero schlep the gear in and set it up (you know, get in by the backstage door), and then just hang around? (This'd work best if the setup was being done long before the doors opened.)Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogatthestation Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 Just have the band introduce you as their newest member.. "Plays a mean triangle"... You can get up on stage bang the thing once, complain of equipment problems and then enjoy the rest of the show from the front row... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 That has to be one of the funniest things i've read in a long, long time...thanks for the morning chucklepeace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gentlemonkey Posted December 11, 2001 Report Share Posted December 11, 2001 You could also pretend you are Shane's 'towel boy', he seems to have a new one every show anyway.. lots of sopping involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberg83 Posted December 12, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Well, hehe, these are some funny ideas guys. I'm not sure exactly what I might do. Hmm, how stringent are the door guys with ID? Cuz I mean, I don't like young or anything. Gotten into Barrymore's before without problem... I might just bank on that. I'm going to be going with some friends who are older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Will not work, my man. The IDing at Babylon is heavy, and if you haven't found an alternetive solution, you will not get in at the door, pretty much guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 I like toms scenario, but having a "guitar tech" on hand might be a good idea. Maybe Dave can have his guitar in tune for once They wouldn't refuse him if he was a crew member for the night. Hell, he'd be in there before there is even a door guy. remember, no drinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Been to the Cajun Attic once...They have some pretty good chow there too, if I`m not mistaken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleB Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 If it doesen't work out remeber......We don't ID to get on the NYE busThe door gus at Babylon are strict.... start growing a beardGood luck brother.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 nicely put. No id required to get on the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpua Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 No Id required on the bus, but what about at the venue in Fredericton? Dont want to drive 16hrs then not be allowed in.Also, Bergisn, you blew your cover because one of the doormen from Babylon reads this msg board. While he is a cool dude and might not mind letting you in, there is no way he would be able to because the owner of the bar and others are always around, etc. I think your only chance is to be Shane's towel boy or nero's new triangle player.

gentlemonkey Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 I may be mistaken, but i am pretty sure that the drinking age in New Brunswick is 18... maritimes is where its at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 In this high tech computer age we live in, surely maufacturing SOMEthing can't be a big problem, especially of you look the part.You've gotta konw some geek that can print you up an out of province ID of some sort...I guess the lamination would be tricky, but hell, better then being Shane's towel boy. He sweats a lot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peipunk Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 Just a quick correction....the drinking age in all of the Maritime provinces is 19....but the Maritimes are still where its at!(we sure like to "giver"). Dig it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aberg83 Posted December 13, 2001 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 Hmmm, damn. Well... blew my cover. Hehehe. Whatever, maybe I'll just end up missing the show. Sucks, but there will be other nero shows in january, when i'm legally allowed in... so I can wait. Anyways, thanks for all the suggestions. You guys have been great. I'll try something.. growing the beard isn't a problem, as I've already got one started Thanks again, talk to you soon guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
