Live 8

anyone going?
i'll be there...
buddy of mine has a place around the corner, sleepin over cause traffic will be an absolute nightmare then hittin up the show. also if you guys are interested, there is a bar by the park that is selling 500 tickets for the bar for the day, forget the name but i can get it if people are interested. the ten bucks gets you in and out of the bar all day.

im thinkin bout going....tryin to riled up some of friends to get them to go too...but all they keep sayin is about the traffic gettin in and gettin out...i figured we'd hop a train from outside the city and take that in, but its gonna be crazy tryin to get into the city on Sat...u gotta sweet deal there with your friends place...
that bar idea u are talkin about sounds like a pretty sweet deal...

shelah--make sure you go the night before, streets will be shut down at midnight.
and for those of you taking the train...i think the closest place is 30th street station, from there you have a 30 minute walk

Actually Suburban is better to get off of and then just come out at JFK & 18th and walk to the parkway.

I am staying at my friend's house the night before so it will be easy for us.

Starting the day at 6:30am, taking the train from Thorndale to Suburban Station. Got my backpack all packed (water bottle, granola bars, sunscreen, tylenol, bandaid, hat) and ready to go!

3 mil people and 440 porta potty. That's like 60k people PER porta potty. This is gonna be GREAT!!!!!!!!
