Catch&Release · Post by **Catch&Release** » April 22, 2008 10:25 am

After seeing last night's awesome set list I decided I have to go!

Went to Ticketmaster and pulled up 13th row center seat!

I snapped it up and am going solo to St. Louis. Will get there at about 3 pm after leaving from West Michigan at 1st light.

Based on Weatherunderground, we have a 44% chance that it will be dry!! (Trying to be the optimist!) At least it will be WARM!!!!!
74 / 58 high/low
56% rain chance at 7pm

How far is that from the Harrahs?

Dabrilloman needs a change of attitude something fierce!!!

Sorry . . haven't a clue since I'm not from the area either. You might check it out on mapquest.

I love using Weather Underground. It beats the shoo shoo out of any other weather site. Wet and wild party time.

You certainly are not alone, Gumbo Gal! Will you be getting into Harrah's in time to have a drink or few at the Voo Doo lounge Wed night?

Yes! Will be there later...around 11 or 12 midnight. Gonna need a drink or two after the drive down tomorrow

I'll have my BN name tag on!

Well, it looks like we may be glad we have covered seats. Maybe we will bring our parkas, everytime we do that it doesn't rain.

We were fortunate enough to be covered last time. THIS time it looks like we're on the edge! Does anyone know if row OO in the left ctr. section is covered? (like it matters....)

Who cares about the rain. I am thinking just drink more and we wont notice...
to much.

sorry if this has been posted, but one memeber of my group just called the venue and here's the scoop for Thursday

Lot opens at 3pm. Reasonable and Responsible tailgating is permitted.
Maryland Heights Police Department will be patrolling the lot and will have the final say as to what Reasonable and Responsible is.
No tents.
No grills or open flames.
No glass bottles or containers.

So, not sure if the glass thing will be enforced or not, he said it really sounded like they want cups or cans...so with the amount of landshark and corona that will be around, just keep it in mind.

Great . . . I'll be looking for the name tag then. Me . . . I'll be the little redhead saying hello once I see you. Looking forward to meeting you and everyone else.

Any local Parrots have any info on the Clubhouse Inn & Suites on Craig Rd.?
Three lost souls from St. Paul MN are staying there and are wondering if there might be any post party parties going on near there. Or what the area by the Inn might have for some good night life.

Looking forward to seeing all you crazies!!!

Got the recipe from Cheddars,where they have a 2 drink max limit.It's RUM,orange and pineapple juice with a pina colada mix on the rocks.My wife likes it and doesn't drink much(thankfully)so she tones it down a bit when she makes them.Especially when she needs to pace all day.

Maybe I better bring a bigger glass.............
