Mr. JD Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 QUOTE (tupelobarchetta @ Sep 21 2010, 04:54 PM) We have a meet-up place!!!! I have booked the private dining area at Champps restaurant in Alpharetta for anyone who wants to meet up before going to the concert. Champps is located at 7955 North Point Parkway, about 1.5 miles from the amphitheater. I have the room reserved from 4 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. I'd like to get out of there ASAP so I can battle the traffic and get to the venue for the Parking Lot A meet-up. My check-in time at the hotel is 3 p.m., so I might get to Champss about 3:30 to get organized. I'll bring nametags so we can put names and faces together. There was no charge for me to reserve the room. The manager said it holds about 50 people easily; he added that we could fit 70 in there but we'd be packed tightly like sardines. Everyone is invited to join in the fun. If you have any questions, concerns, etc. post them here or send me a PM. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink39.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/2.gif Thanks tupelobarchetta!

tupelobarchetta Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'll be the biggest dork if I wear my Moving Pictures T-shirt. I'll have it with me at the meet-up. I might slip it right before the band plays MP in its entirety. I'll take it off when we hear the final notes of Vital Signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Finally got the parking pass situation sorted with Ticketmaster (they told me my pass that was paid for with the VIP purchase would be at Will Call - errrr, anyone see what might be amiss with THAT picture?)

tupelobarchetta Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Spoke with my friend Mary in Knoxville this afternoon. You talk about someone who's fired up for the concert -- she is pumped! It will be her first time to see Rush and to experience a meet-up. I also called Champps to say I plan to get there about 3:30 p.m. The person I spoke with asked how many will show up, and I said I honestly do not know. But I do know word is getting around about it ... You think a hundred ID stickers will be enough? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Most of you know that there is "assigned" parking at Verizon in Atlanta. Each lot has it's own directions. I found this link which gives directions to each lot. I hope it helps. Verizon Parking Lots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also got 2 tickets to sell ... nothing like being stiffed at the last minute. I'm in the handicapped seating at the back of ORCH1, and have verified with the venue that my "attendants" will not be harassed for accompanying me. Red-Barchetta who almost signed "Tangent" ...

Red-Barchetta Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I'm confused about parking now. I have a handicapped-accessible ticket that I have to pick up at Will Call. Very long story, but I don't presently have a handicapped parking placard. So where in the Sam Hill do I park? Last concert I was a passenger http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/tongue.gif Ride over with someone from the party might be easiest http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif Unless Champps will tow me.
