GhostGirl Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 If I go to a show, this will likely be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyvoice Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Whoo-hoo!! A new amphitheater in the Atlanta-area!! No more Urban Decay/Security Bozos Amphitheater! Too bad the Gwinnett (indoor) location didn't work out...'cos it'll probably be hotter than the hinges of hell's basement on July 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Owl Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Although I am really upset that they decided to skip Nashville (or any Middle Tennessee date) AGAIN!!!! I will most likley be going to this show. And I'm happy that they are not doing Hi-Fi Buys again. I won't actually have to drive into Atlanta, and risk getting lost, and dealing with that traffic.

But we are also looking at the idea of it being an outdoor venue where taking a near-3-year-old wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities given the anticipated availability of lawn seating. I've been in touch with the venue today and they aren't very clear on the policy about whether one would have to pay for a child going to the lawn seating area. Other policies may not be very clear at this stage since, as I understand it, the facility isn't even finished yet. The venue site isn't up yet but should be next month, according to the staff person, at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park I hope we can take our daughter because I really want to see her reaction when she hears "Far Cry" being played live. We would probably stay with a relative in the vicinity. So, Atlanta, at this stage, is the likely venue where we'll catch this leg of the tour.

Mustard Death Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Ok, so my friend (same one who came with me last year) are gonna be hitting up this show... and I'll be driving us this time, and will also be 18... so that means we'll probably try and catch any pre-show get together that gets organized, provided it's not at a 21-older place. It'd be cool to meet some of you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Owl Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Sorry Atlanta bound TRF'ers I just re-organized my plans, and I won't be attending the Atlanta show...It is just going to be too hard to do on a Tuesday. I am changing up and going to the St.Louis show which is on a Saturday, and only 2 hours more driving than driving to Atlanta.

Not to burst your bubble, but the traffic in Alpharetta is just as bad as any area of town. The north bound traffic (away from Atlanta) on Ga 400 in the evening rush hour (no pun intended ) ... is horrible. I would highly recommend staying in one of the hotels right next to the venue. If you stay at the airport or downtown, it will take upwards of 1 to 1.5 hours to get to the venue. Also, if you are driving in from Tenn in the afternoon, you may want to exit on one of the surface streets from I-75 and cut over to Alpharetta. If you take 285 to Ga400, you will hit major traffic. Also, for those concerned about the quality of hotels in that area, they are all fine. I live about 5 miles from there and there are not any bad areas. (unlike HiFi Buys) If anyone has any specific questions on traffic, directions, etc ... let me know. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Death Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Man I can't WAIT for this show... I'm somehow even more excited than I was last year. My friend and I are planning on leaving pretty early in the afternoon and just finding some place to chill until the venue opens up, so hopefully there'll be some sort of meet up planned.
