Apologies to everyone who wanted to go to Johnny D's

Oy vey. So, for some reason, I was convinced that Johnny D's doesn't accept reservations until a couple weeks before.

I feel like this is at least partially my fault. I believe this is what I was told when I looked into reservations previously. I don't know, maybe they change their policy for certain kinds of shows.

One possibility is to show up early, go in for an early dinner and stay for the show. That's what I did last time.

Maybe someone (maybe I?) should call them up and ask how far in advance and for groups of what size when they take reservations for JoCo?

Damn. Even still, this is pretty early for having to make the reservations.

Well, who's up for an early dinner that night? I know I am.

If you show up wicked early (like 5) and try to stay, they will supposedly try to make you leave.

Ok, I just called them. I spoke to someone who answered the phones who sounded like she didn't understand what I was asking about, and then to Nick, who has been there a longer time.

According to him, you can make reservations for groups of any size "as soon as the concert is confirmed." There is no set date, so people can be told anything from, "We can't make reservations for that yet," to, "Sure, party of what size?" to, "Sorry, we're sold out." Supposedly, they also sell out pretty fast.

According to Nick, the concert is usually not confirmed much further out than two months, so that's a relatively safe bet. If it's not available yet, they suggested calling every day until it is. (Yes, I'm not kidding.)

They also leave roughly two tables for walk-ins, but can't guarantee those seats. They claimed people should show up around 7:00pm for dinner and stay for the show, but I'm certain I came earlier than that. They did point out that the previous concert was also earlier, so perhaps showing up as late as 7 will be fine ( ... )

You could try to take your case directly to JoCo, although I'm not sure how he could help.
