    Nah, dude. It would be that more hilarious if he'd like to where a Mets jersey while the Phils are in the World Series. :mrgreen:

    Ya see, that's why he threw the Islanders jersey in there. Just in case something like that would happen. And don't call any of us assholes if anything happens to you. 10,000 Philadelphians drinking for 10 hours with a dude in a Mets jersey? Don't say I didn't warn you...

    If the show is right downtown, I prefer to go to a bar/pre-party. If the venue is outside the city, I love to tailgate in the parking lot.

    For the Spectrum, my vote is for

    Tailgate before the show...no doubt about this. Make sure you stop at Tony Luke's on Oregon Ave (right around corner from sports complex) and grab sandwiches before you enter the parking lot. Best sandwiches (hot pork, cheesesteaks, chicken cutlets) in the philly region.

    If people are looking for a place nearby to hang out afterwards Chickie and Pete's would be my recommendation (walking distance to sports complex -- on Packer Ave). If the group is looking to set something up formally there is a huge back room with a separate bar that we can reserve (pretty sure there is no charge to reserve it). Been there before for numerous pre-bachelor parties and they always do a great job.

    Funny that all of the philly locals are voting for tailgating. There really shouldn't be more than one option...it's a no brainer

    From Chickie's You can even hop the "Taxi-Crab" (small bus for free/tip to driver?) to show after if ya don't wanna walk both ways. Did his when we saw RHCPs :P @ Wachovia & driver even popped a peppers dvd in to watch on the way over!? Still I vote T-gate (especially on HWeen!)

    Ok, I gave up counting after twentysomething in favor of the tailgate... :mrgreen::mrgreen:

    elway, once we get the news we'll work on the venue red tape and prep your tent!

    Maybe we can have McFadden's as a Plan B as well as post-party

    Great Laura. I agree. Let's get the dates today. Let's see which of those dates hopefully we all got tix for (fingers crossed for all Philly dates!), and then you and I can start calling the Spectrum, Bullies, McFadden's etc and see who is up for us and who isnt. I am so excited about today and the potential to raise $ for good causes that I never slept last night. Oh this band!
