To Philadelphia I Go
Tomorrow I will be leaving for Philadelphia in the afternoon/evening. The plan for the weekend is to drive up to Saratoga Springs to see DMB at SPAC with Mike and Dave. Live 8 is going to be in Philly on Saturday starting at noon, but unfortunately we won't be able to attend since it's a 5.5 hour drive to SPAC (and we have to pass by NYC to pick Dave up). I caught a clip of the crews setting up the stage on the news this morning, and just as I suspected, the stage will be on the steps of the art museum and the crowd will be on the Ben Franklin Parkway. I've read that they are expecting 1 million people to attend. Given a choice between the two, I'd rather see DMB at SPAC for 3 hours in a more intimate setting (20k people is intimate? hehe) than for an hour at Live 8 with a million people there. It would have been great to go for the experience, but it wouldn't have been worth it for the sole purpose of seeing DMB.
The office closes early tomorrow so I'm going to see if I can get on an earlier flight. I'm also going to have to look into changing the return flight to something later so I don't have to leave for the airport at noon on Monday. I also have to find sometime this weekend to move some things over from the frat house to our new place, but I may just come a few days earlier in the fall and move over then.
