Where are the preshows for Philly?

[H&H]

i've been pretty much staying away from the boards because i want the setlist to be a surprise to me. but i've been on the lookout for a who's in philly thread and a philly preshow thread and i've seen neither.

well, i'm both nights at philly (sect. 124 on friday and GA on saturday). so where are the preshows, folks?

and to all you reading this, i'm still desperately seeking a GA or great lower single for oakland -- and will need the same for both L.A. shows. available for trade for similar for these shows only are the following singles:

fri. 10/5 philly: sect. 104
sat. 10/6 philly: sect. 101 & GA
mon. 11/12 DC: GA

[H&H]

ah, cross-pollination. :D

so is this a joint pre-show or is livedaily just piling on theirs? either way works for me as i know folks on both boards.

thanks, bushy.

[bushmanj]

It's one big happy family.

We can celebrate Andrew's absence.

[H&H]

no welshman?

guess that means all the beer will be cold! ;)

i'm there!

[BruceNut]

BigJohn will be having his LD famous tail gate complete with brand new grill.....

paging John .......where are you setting up this puppy?
In the back left corner of the Wachovia lot closest to the Linc under the highway? This tail gate should come with a LD moderator warning as the spoiler of all things fun,pinky ! will be there :devil:

Hey My Hometown!
Looking forward to seeing you guys on Friday. There's a DJ that will be setting up music in Lot D?? Not sure about the location. Anyway, looking forward to a fun tailgate. See you Friday!

:sunny:

[myhometown]

Yes, I think that is our plan for Friday.

Saturday, we still have to figure out.

Will be good to see you & Jim!!! Heather will be there, too

Tell me about it. Need to score 6-7 runs. If necessary, I am going tomorrow.

Sitting in 108 if they play tomorrow...

[myhometown]

I will be online as soon as they go on sale (hopefully, that won't be necessary)

I like the old man,

He is the only starter that they could depend on the ENTIRE year.

He is also pretty consistant

[BigChill]

OK, so this thread got lost and muddled with baseball talk. I am coming in late on Saturday for the show.....is there a get together Saturday? And if so, where exactly? Remember, I have NEVER been to Philly, so explain in extreme detail where the good folks of LD will be :)

PM if you wany my cell, there will be a whole crew of us. But, I don't know where we'll be yet

[bellevue]

Is there a plan for Friday??

[bigjohn]

Is there a plan for Friday??

Lot D - Not sure where though in there. You can PM me or Myhometown if you want a phone number. I should be down there around 1ish.

[myhometown]

Lot D I assume in the vicinity of the BTX party Friday. Near I-95. I should be there by 4:00.

[man at the top]

myhometown, jon,
do you need me to bring anything?
Ice, food, grill, what?
Eric

[myhometown]

I think bigjohn is bringing a grill, other than that bring what you drink and what you eat. my girl usually goes overboard on snacks & stuff, so we should be Ok as far as that goes.

[bigjohn]

I am not sure if i am bringing a grill. I may be stopping in South Philly to get a sandwich to bring down. I just did not have time this week to head out for a grill, food etc...

So, I guess its basically BYOB/F

See you Friday...Off to the ballpark...

John, I'll call you a little later

[mhafinancial]

If anyone has an extra GA for Friday please let me know... I'm looking for a single. Thanks .

[myhometown]

OK, no grill, bring food & beverages.

As I said, I'm sure we will have a good deal of snacks.

[myhometown]

We will bring a table as well. Bring you own chair. I will not be on here tomorrow (Thursday). I feel an illness coming on and have a 10:00 tee time. And 3:07 first pitch.
Bigjohn, feel free to give my cell through PM.

Saturday we will be in Lot D, hopefully near the port a potties on the Broad St. side. Just call and we'll get you there. Will be in the lot by 3:15.

[SJU]

Hey My Hometown!
Looking forward to seeing you guys on Friday. There's a DJ that will be setting up music in Lot D?? Not sure about the location. Anyway, looking forward to a fun tailgate. See you Friday!

:sunny:

DJ Brett Gash is setting up in lot D south of the Wachovia Center, under the rt 95 ramp. We'll have food and beverage for those traveling, $5 will give you access to a keg of Sam Adam's Octoberfest. Brett's a great guy and lives for these parties. He'll play whatever Bruce related music you care to hear...

Stop by and say hello. If you like what you hear stay a while.

Steve

[H&H]

will be looking for the tailgate both days.

thanks.

[Splooge]

nothing would make this sick mets fan happier then to see these ugly towel wavin handful of phillies fans go down 0-2. KazzzzzzzzMat Sueyyyyyyyyyy

[scootbigman]

Bumped up, should we do a sign in?
I know a few who are going including MJ, Myself, DA, Fred and Barney (PD and FD).............Hope to meet up with old and new

[bobfrombob]

Rather than start a seperate thread, I'll ask here....

Where do I go for a real cheesesteak sandwich? Hopefully close to Wachovia if possible. (and on the West Wing, they told Matt Santos to order it with cheese slices or something - is this legit?)

If they told him to order it with cheese slices they were trying to get him in trouble. Cheesesteaks are served with cheese wiz although you can get them with prov (alone) as well. Wit means with onions.

Pat's and Geno's are the famous touristy places not too far from Wachovia. I've been told Jim's on South and 4th are good - and the Copabanana across the street makes the worlds best margaritas to boot.

Here are directions to Pat's - Geno's is across the street:

http://www.patskingofsteaks.com/directions.htm

From the show follow the last direction (Broad St. north, right on Wharton).

Wayne

[myhometown]

I will be parked in Lot D on the south side of the Wachovia Center today by 4:00. I drive a Gold Jeep Compass. PM if you want my cell to get the exact location. There will be several LD folks there.

[man at the top]

I will find the cheesesteaks, margaritas and the gold jeep!!!!
see you in a little while.
Eric

[Splooge]

If you can't get down to south philly where the originals are Pat's is the best IMO just down south broad to passyunk very close to wach. They make it the way it's supposed to be made w/ thin cut rib eye, spanish onions and soybean oil... Geno's is a distant 2nd if line is too long

[BruceNut]

How cool is it that 5 years ago tomorrow theres a Bruce anniversary show ;)
Spirit was #2 that day :D
Bruce wore that green shirt.
Alot of people wore The Hat.
The weather was great.And will even be better Saturday.

[myhometown]

I'm making a call right now that we get a Bono appearance this weekend.

This is based on absolutely nothing, just pure Irish intuition

[H&H]

you might be right about bono. he was here in D.C. wednesday and thursday, so he's in the neighborhood.

fingers crossed....

[BigChill]

I am coming in late Saturday, about 5:30 pm. What is the best way to get from the airport to the Arena? Is there public transportation or do I take a cab? How far away from the airport is the arena?

I hope to be there around 6 ish if all goes well and hope some folks are still hanging out, as I know he doesn't come on until 8:30 or so.

Any plans for a get together afterwards? I know it is a saturday night and I will be on Left Coast time so I know I'll be amped.

Also, where is a decent sports bar to watch my beloved Angels Sunday as I don't leave until Monday afternoon.

Any help would be appreciated.

Mickey, you going to Philly?

[scootbigman]

A cab would be the way to go, unless you can get on the Holiday Inn shuttle from the airport. A bit sneaky but cheaper.

It's not a train I know anything about but I'm guessing you would have to go into Center City then back, Well over an hour I think.

[AMIW]

randy

you should find all the sports bar in Philly rather empty this weekend

The Iggles aren't scheduled to lose at all this weekend and the Failies aren't losing until late that night.

Of course a REAL sports fan would be watching Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur at 10am EDT.

Regards

Your too funny Andrew. A real football fan watches REAL football, not that boring random running back and forth on a long field sport with nets at either end thingee you speak of.

My beloved Raiders are also off this weekend.....uuumm, correction, my First PLACE Raiders ;) Need to get that in while I can.

[blaktransam]

Blaktransam will be there! Just flew back in and got one in 102 on the phone at 12:45pm!
Look forward to meeting some of you

Mickey, you going to Philly?

If there was no traffic the airport to the arena would take 10 minutes. They are a about 5 miles away on the same interstate. Cab is the way to go - I guess that means taking your luggage to the concert?

If you are looking for a good sports bar just follow the people who look like they are going to a funeral.........

If this should happen again I could die happy! eagle, are you out there? Will you be in Philly?

Mickey - hard to believe the green shirt was 5 years ago...

Cath

[eagle8487]

:D :D :D

As much as I'd love to be there, it wasn't in the cards this time. I'd be happy for you, though, if you got another Bono appearance!

Didn't Bruce forget the words to some song in Philly that night, too?

Ronda and I were in Hartford and had a great time. Are you seeing both shows, Cath?

[BruceNut]

D if they get Bono can we be mad at Cath? :devil:
I love having my adventure doc`s.

" It was really funny when Bruce forgot empty sky. Watching steven and nils taking Bruces fingers placing them on his guitar for the cords hoping this would get him going! to funny"

[eagle8487]

Nah, we'll let her have Bono....

[BruceNut]

Nah, we'll let her have Bono....
but.........again????

[eagle8487]

Since I was with her in Miami, I figure it might be good karma . . .

[CathC]

So Mickey, are you not going to Philly?

D, I'm going only tomorrow night. Wish you and the guitargirl were going to be there too!

I do remember that Bruce forgot Empty Sky - too funny.

[BruceNut]

No Cath.I'm not going to either Philly as of now.That could change for Saturday.But I doubt it ;)
The plan all along was to skip Philly,let them work out the dust bunnies and hit Albany for the overnight bar bash.
Have a great show though :kiss:
If you do get Bono again,I will never talk to you while I'm above ground ;)

[BruceNut]

over 800 bracelets handed out.
It was hard hearing info but they are supposedly letting in 200-250 people into the pit.

[Atlantic City]

So you will haunt her after death?:biggrin:

[eagle8487]

An overnight beer bash in Albany sounds interesting. I might have to scare up a ticket for that.

Hope you have a great time, Cath. I'm sure Mickey will forgive you if Bono shows up.....:D. Right, Mickey? :d

No, staying at the Marriot at the airport, check in and outta there in about 20 mins at the most. Thx for the tip, see you all tomorrow.

Mickey, kinda surprised you aren't there.....thats a first it seems
