Take heart.......the Hampton Inn is not in walking distance......no hotels are that close. You got a great location! The Best Western will be filled with peeps going to the show. How is getting around? It totally and completely SU**S!!!! Big time! This is a densely populated area, traffic is miserable and you are going to have a great time if you pack patience and plan ahead.
1.Get to the Lube early.....meaning by noon when the lots usually open. Don't panic when I-66 looks like a parking lot. It's not the concert......that's normal insanity. We usually tailgate near a grove a trees to the right of the venue right by the porta potties. Park as close as you can and join the party.
2.Pay the $30 for parking. You'll get out in 30 mins when the show's over as opposed to 2-3 hours it will take if you don't.
3. Go to the Mac show on Friday night at the State Theater in Falls Church. http://www.thestatetheatre.com/index.xml Go early, eat dinner across the street and get in line. He usually brings several of the CRB and it's a really small place. And they'll do a meet and greet.
4. There's a loads of places to eat.....use call ahead if you can.
5. Continue to check this thread with updates. There are a great group of folks going to the show......they are only friends you haven't met yet.
6. Have one for me while we're bringing the youngest back to school in Boston.
Bring sunscreen.

Sunscreen...HA, nothing like waking up the next day with a hangover and a sunburn

If you can handle both, you are a better man than I.

That means that there are only 73 days now? That doesn't seem too bad.

Yes I've crawled outta my hole, summer has arrived....woohoooo.........Will, don't worry about the tickets until about an hour before the concert, no need to rush into anything

I keep threatening to stay in the lot instead, although Rich is planning to come with me. (and I might have a third party, maybe)

owbishop · Post by **owbishop** » June 23, 2010 1:02 pm

Only 73 days to see who the mystery "third party" might be

Staredge · Post by **Staredge** » June 23, 2010 11:21 pm

For the record....nobody on here currently (AFAIK).

72 days and not wishing the summer away

I missed it on Saturday, but there should have been some good joke about 69 days to go to the Lube. I am disappointed in a few of you for missing that opportunity.

Or perhaps all of our heads exploded when overloaded with all the possibilities.

Only have 67 days to redeem ourselves
