I'm driving in from central CT for the show. I've never been to Saratoga before. Hope to meet some of you before the show!

I don't want to wish my life away but this is one long week and a half till show time. I miss the good old days when Rush would begin a tour in the north east.

I'm *fortunately* so busy that time is flying by. Actually, I keep thinking "whoa, I see Rush in less than 2 weeks time!!!!!!!!!" and I get super excited but..my life is crazy at the moment.

 

 

Trust me, it will get here http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/yes.gif

I'll be at this show with my brother and nephew who are both huge Rush fans as well. I've never been to this venue before but I hear it has a nice set up. It'll be an excellent show no matter what since it's http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/2.gif

 

The reason i'm going to this show is because a show wasn't booked for where I live in Buffalo, NY. Which is very odd since Rush has always played here at least once every tour for the last 30 years or so http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/confused13.gif

Cool, i'm looking forward to what the venue setup looks like. My brother has been there before so I've heard good things about it. It's not hard to beat the Darien Lake PAC it's a pretty standard layout for an amphitheater. But it's all we've got around here besides the HSBC arena.

I'm going; who else? Roll call....

 

Jill, you're going to SPAC? I thought you were going to the State Fair show in Syracuse.

Will be at SPAC around 5/5:30ish. Of course, I just found out Saratoga opens up this weekend and it's Hats Off -- gonna be busy up there for sure.

I'm going! Never been there before, so I'd love to meet up with some of you.

 

I'm hoping to get there by 4pm. Is there anywhere to eat (concession stands) in the venue, or do you have to bring your own food?

There are, but the food/beer is pricey as you could probably guess.

 

 

 

Tark: where is the grill meetup? Main parking lot off Route 50?

 

 

Someone needs a TRF sign http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/yes.gif

 

 

Too bad we couldn't find a quick place inside the venue to meetup and get a photo?!

We could meet by the lawn or right inside inside the main entrance?

That's a pretty large area http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif

 

 

I'm pretty sure there are 3 ramps that go up to the balcony from the lawn and I've met people at the middle one before? I don't even know when the show kicks off, 8p?

I'll be there...not sure where (or for that matter when)

mostly because I've never been there before.

 

So...I'll be somewhere at sometime, not very helpful. I'll figure it out tomorrow morning.

I really think that middle balcony bridge would be perfect for all of us to say Hello.

 

Say 7p?

 

 

 

Keep in mind I am not successful at meetups ever!

I wouldn't mind meeting up with some of you before the show but i'm making the over four hour drive from Buffalo, NY. So i'm not sure what time I'm gonna be arriving in the area and if there's gonna be traffic or road construction to halt me on my way there. Having never been to the venue doesn't help my situation much either.

 

Damn, if only they came to Buffalo area this time around a meet up would be so much easier for me http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

 

Thank you iluvgeddy05 for letting those who are traveling know that there's stuff going on in Saratoga and it will be busy. I'll have to leave a little earlier than I planned after I check into my hotel. I sure as hell don't wanna get caught in traffic and miss any of the show http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif

Yes, the (horse) race track kicks off this weekend up there. Most races get out around 6pm or so, therefore getting there a little early will help. And most of the people getting out of the races will be heading south towards Albany (not all, but most).

 

I expect downtown to be busy as they have a "hats off" celebration each opening and closeing weekend. A lot of fun if you're in town though! Bands, bars, food, fun for all ages. Downtown is quite charming.

 

 

What hotel are you staying at?

 

I usually try to enter the venue at Avenue of the Pines and park in those first few lots and enter through the back entrance (near the big lawn). Others go park off Route 50 but that is a bastard to get out of after the show.

I think so, too, Kill. Let's do that! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/yes.gif

 

MIDDLE BALCONY RAMP! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/1022.gif

 

I'm makin a TRF sign for all to see, so just look for that. As for the grillin location....probably in the park, which I don't know the exact location of. GrillCastro would know better than I since I've never been to Saratoga Springs. Either way, we'll cross paths http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif

 

 

RUSH! http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/1022.gif
