no sweat. I sat back there last year at FLL, and it was kinda cool. almost like being backstage. and the view for "Fins" is awesome.Brown Eyed Girl wrote:behind the stage?
The choice in my price range was 11 rows from the stage, or up in the nose-bleed stratosphere, so I'm kinda liking where I landed.

Haven't heard anything about a Mac show yet...when do you leave?
Fairly reliable source says no Mac show.

Re: where's the party?
Does anyone know if a mini tailgate is possible at the Arena Hotel for those of us staying there (and guests of course!tahoeparrothead wrote:!!!PLEASE READ, MAY AFFECT YOUR PLANS!!!charter1 wrote:where is the hot spot for friday night? we are coming from way out of town and dont want to miss the good parties. also is tailgaiting allowed in the parking lot the day of the show?
Some of you may know this, but there is absolutely no tailgaiting allowed at the Shark tank or in nearby adjacent parks in San Jose. In an almost 11th hour effort, we got in touch with some sources at the Tank yesterday, and they said San Jose's "No open flame, no open container" policy will be in full effect for the show.
Further, in my communication with Tres Gringos, which has been difficult, the most current update is that are having a private party hosted by Bartons (corona, pacifico, modelo, etc). I'm working on finding out more, I find it hard to believe myself. In fact, I was the one that emailed them with the idea to contact Barton's in the first place. I will post as soon as I find out official details, and if and how we can get on the guest list.
I know someone who owns a building and parking lot in downtown adjacent to some bars, so it is not out of the question we may set up a tailgate there, stay tuned...
Looking forward to meeting more BNers!
