Anybody staying at the Embassy Suites for the Philly show? It turns out that I need to be in Philly on business the 27th and 28th of October. What luck!

I have friends staying there, but I'm at Holiday Inn. Lotsa ppl got good deals at Embassy on Priceline, so u'll have plenty of PJ comrades to chill with there . That's pretty sweet, is ur job paying for u to go?
Yup, they are. Might even be able to get them to pay for PJ tickets, but I have to figure out how to spin that one... Either way, it doesn't matter, because its no big deal if I have to pay for my own tickets...its worth it!
I'm wondering if there is a hotel that is closer to the venue. I know the Embassy is 4 miles away...Anybody know what is closest?

Holiday Inn ("Stadium") is the only close one, it's half a mile from the venue, the next closest hotels are at least 3 miles away. But I hear that HI's prices have gone up quite a bit in the past few wks. Check into this thread for more info: http://forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.ph ... &start=240

apparently you never have attended a concert there..
I am the biggest whiner when it comes to "stadium"-type shows (hate them) but Fenway has had remarkably GOOD sound ... seen 5 concerts there over the past 4 years...
In fact, I challenge anyone to find a commercial review of a Fenway concert that notes poor sound..

meh...........the Garden is 10x better...Fenway concerts are a novelty because of the venue...i was born and raised in Mass and could care less about a Fenway show....the Garden is a much better choice!
I'd love to see a show at the garden. I've seen the last 4 there and it was hell getting out to Great Woods. Although now I will be coming in from Maine. So I really want the Garden. LOL Train in straight to the venue. :P

interesting debate here...garden vs. fenway vs. great woods. i loved fenway and thought it was great (on the field, but only 1 show). great woods is cool if you're close enough. I thought the sound in the garden in 04 was awful. it sounds even worse on the boot. but i remember thinking it sounded bad while i was there. great show, shitty sound. my opinion only.

my city is twisted (Lowell)...just like me.
you never asked?
ahhh... the armpit of massachusetts
I thought that was Fitchburg?
anything west of worcester isn't technically mass in a bostonians eyes
so fitchburg can be the armpit of NH
except most of NH is a pit
hmmmm.... tough one!
