We'll be there, but not sure about a meetup. It depends on how the hotel goes. We're going to check in and stuff before we go to the show.

Does the phone number you gave us last year for the Philly show still work? because i have that, and it'll make finding you in the parking lot WAY easier than just looking around for you :P

I'll be there with my girlfriend. I likely won't make it to the parking lot, though. I'm not big on the whole tailgating thing.

Well I live only a few miles from PNC, but I may be drunk before I even get to the parking lot.  I plan on being sober to enjoy the concert experience up close Monday night and just having a great time on the lawn for Sunday.

I'm now up to Amanda, myself, and 2 friends for this show. We're still planning to arrive between 3 and 3:30. We'll put some burgers and dogs on around 6 I think.

I'll be there with my son...not sure exactly what time we will be arriving...still debating if I'm going to the Portnoy signing in Edison

Nick

I mean, if you've never met him I'm sure it would be cool, but with any organized meet and greet just realize you're going to probably get about 30 seconds to talk to him.

The last time I was at the PNC in Holmdel (for Maiden), we ended up having to park about a mile away. It was like a massive migration of people walking to and from this jabumblefeck parking lot that they had us in. Of course it really sucked after the show.

We live an hour and a half from the PNC and have to work the next day, so we plan to bolt during the encore. Can anyone recommend a reasonable time to get there that will allow us to park close to the venue so we can get out quickly?

I'm thinking we should have sprung for the VIP parking passes.

LadyEars

Looks like Live Nation / Ticketbastard released more tickets for the Holmdel show. It really ticks me off how they withhold tickets. We ended up with two sets of tickets because the first ones were crap, and then they released more weeks later. We finally sold the first set but ended up taking $110 loss. If they had just released all of the tickets at once we probably would have gotten good seats to begin with. 

Anyway, my husband and I will be in section 102, row P. I'll be wearing a DT shirt and he'll be wearing Maiden. I'll be screaming like a mad woman annoying the hell out any Maiden fans behind me who thought they would get to watch DT sitting down.  :metal

Here's the deal, during the break in sets, I'll be infront of the section 202 sign-ish thing. The one that says 202 in white on the concrete. If anyone wants to talk, cool, if not, you all suck. :)

goddammit I wish I could go to that

Nick

2 hours until I head out the door. :D

PlaysLikeMyung

So is there a main parking lot right outside the venue and a separate parking lot a mile away?

Nick

More like a quarter mile, but yes. As long as you get there before 5 I'd say you will probably get in the main lot.

Scrub206

yeah were gunna skip the portnoy meeting thing at the sam ash. i thought it was sooner then it is. but I WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU GUYS ;_;

Nick

Hanging out with Nick > 30 seconds with Portnoy.  :coolio

lolwut?

Oh are you bringing any recording equipment Nick?

Nick

Yes, but after that first line you won't be getting a recording. :p

PlaysLikeMyung

Oh that's cold :neverusethis:

I'm brining my camera because I'm fairly certain that nobody is going to give a shit there. Can anyone confirm?

Nick

I think you'll be fine there, but I find it best to just check with the entry guys before you try and enter to see if you can bring it in freely, or if you have to sneak it in.

PlaysLikeMyung

Ok. You know, I noticed that the larger venues don't really check you coming in.

At the Trocadero, I'm frisked EVERY time. But they don't care about cameras at all, so I don't have to sneak them in. It's iffier at the Tower, because even though they don't pat you down, they still walk around the theater checking for cameras. I think a venue as large as PNC/Susquehanna wouldn't have the manpower to confiscate cameras like that

I'm taking it anyway though. More than anything, I really really want pictures of the Rush show next week
