    Yep, it does go from EST to CST. I am just worried because I will be seeing a lot of "old" friends in Detroit. You know what happens then.

    So you'll be driving hungover, I'm assuming?

    The place is TINY.

    It's going to be a great time in the middle of fall. The township of Moline has no idea what it's in for.

    Holds 9200; definitely one of the smaller venues you'll see them play.

    Still hoping to score tix!

    According to the Wikipedia, it holds 12,000 for concerts. Xcel Energy holds 13,000. It looks like the biggest difference is in the building's design. Putting people closer to the action. Looks like less box seats and suites, too. (f those guys anyways)
    Xcel concert set up for comparison:

    Holiday Inn for $164 a night?
    YIKES!!!!!

    I went with the Super 8 for $45 a night.
    I just cant justify spending $164 on a hotel in Moline, Il.

    I mean
    Cmon
    Its MOLINE, IL!!!!

    :-c

    Though I have decided that my pre-party will be at the Bennigans that is attached to your Holiday Inn.



    I actually booked it before the tix went on sale...It was $94 then...they must have jacked the price up after...
    That sounds like a plan! We'll be dirtyfranking from Detroit so we'll look for you at Bennigans when we get in ;)

    Moline!
    Bennigans!!!

    Those poor folks at Bennigans wont know what hit them

    The way I looked at it?
    I could have spent $150 on a room.
    Hell, I guess I could have spent $200 on a room.

    But either way, Im still waking up in Moline.

    Do they have indoor plumbing in Moline?

    I would just spend the extra money on more merchandise, which would get me in trouble so its probably good I spent a little extra on the hotel! #:-S

    Its MOLINE, IL!!!!

    :-c

    Though I have decided that my pre-party will be at the Bennigans that is attached to your Holiday Inn.



    I actually booked it before the tix went on sale...It was $94 then...they must have jacked the price up after...
    That sounds like a plan! We'll be dirtyfranking from Detroit so we'll look for you at Bennigans when we get in ;)

    Moline!
    Bennigans!!!

    Those poor folks at Bennigans wont know what hit them


    :-j

    Damn im getting old.

    But I do like the fact that Pearl Jam has decided to honor ME, by playing the "2nd ANNUAL SPEEDY MCCREADY BIRTHDAY SHOW"
