Making the trip from London, Ontario via Victoria, BC. There's two of us coming hopefully to the pre-party, would love to chat with you again Laura. It's been a long time since GR. We didn't make it to the pre-party in TO so we have to make these parties for sure!!!! Any kinds souls coming from Victoria and what are your logistical plans...planes,ferries, trains and automobiles???
Hi TB!
You can't beat the Victoria Clipper (walk on ferry from Downtown Victoria to Downtown Seattle) for convenience & price! Not really a 'luxury vessel' as they like to sell themselves ... more like a greyhound on water IMO but a great service! They have really great prices on packages with transport + hotels too.
Lisa,
The fall schedule doesn't get us into Seattle until 8:00pm approx. SO that is why I am wondering about alternative transportation. Yes the clipper was going to be our first pick..it would be an extra hotel night now. We might have to take the actual greyhound :? with the ferries thrown in...
We will get there..somehow...where there's a will there's a PJ concert!!!!
Thanks for your help!!!!!
Carolyn

No worries...we'll get by! You definitely need to hold this one against her though. Say...buy you tix to the Portland and Vancouver shows, buy you Backspacer in every format, pay for membership renewals for 5 years, get you posters from shows, etc.

That would be rather doubtful. That time is usually designated for eating, napping, meeting, soundchecking, focusing, and meditating.
If anyone who bought 10c tickets for the Seattle shows but doesn't want a poster from them, could you please grab one for me. Please pm me if you can help a fellow Pearl Jam-aholic!!

What about canned soup such as chicken broth or chicken rice soup?

I didn't see that on the list... but if you've got your heart set on CB or CRS... bring it on
Yah I assume they'll accept most canned foods since they donate it to food banks
Also, does anyone know what time we can pick up the tickets from the Key? Thanks
Yah, I spoke to the Key Arena ticket office today and they are telling me all will call tixs including 10C will be available for pickup on the east side of the Key Arena starting at 4:30 p.m.

Another excellent product is Peanut Butter. Loads of protein and also a very low glucose index.

Does Eddie still come on before the opening act and do a couple songs on occasion? I'm wondering if I should wander into the arena early in hopes of such a grand surprise.

You never know. I'm hoping that he does and will definitely be there early just in case

Hello-
This will be our first time in Seattle and we are planning on attending all of the festivities! We're staying at the Best Western. How do we get around in Seattle (to Alki Beach, and Easy Street Records)? We are flying in and will not have a car. Also, how safe is it to walk around at night? I've heard a few horror stories. Thanks and can't wait to see everyone!

Are you staying at the BW on Taylor? You can pretty much walk through the Seattle Center (google map it) to the pre-party and show...looks like about a 15 minute walk or so. Not sure if the BW has any kind of a shuttle, if needed... Alki Beach and Easy Street are an entire different story which would require renting a car, taking a cab, or carpooling with others at the hotel.
Regarding walking around at night, someone else may want to take that one. I personally have not had any issues but I don't roam the street in that area at night too often unless I'm out with friends for dinner/drinks. I go by the buddy system in most "foreign" areas and it's highly likely that you will be meeting plenty of people at your hotel with the same plans/agenda to hang with.

It's easy to take public transit from downtown to Alki Beach. I'll post bus info later (on the way out the door).
As far as safety... I've lived in Woodinville (the wine country burbs) ... Belltown (smack down town Seattle) and now across the bridge in West Seattle... I walk/bus everywhere and have never had issues

Depends on the area??? Witch one are you staying at? The area around the key is fine to walk around at night, Stay away from denny park at night. Ummm there are a few little areas that are a bit shaddy. But all and all is fine. I walk around there alot. If you have anything esle to ask just pm me

Seattle is by far the safest big city I've ever been too. South Seattle and Central district are the only places that can be a tad bit shady but even they are not that bad.
If you have have a buddy then I wouldn't worry one bit.
Tacoma, federal way, Yakima and Spokane are all much worse.
I've been to Seattle probably 100 times in my life, and have never had any problems anywhere (except feeling pummeled after a Mudhoney show in the mid nineties ).
It is also a pretty good transit city, which I will be using to make my usual trip to mecca: Scarecrow Video in the U-district. A bus from right around the corner from the Best Western drops off 2-3 blocks from there, in a great little walking/shopping area. I'm sure there are fairly easy transit connections to anywhere you want to go.
These are only good thru sept 18. I just received a reply from their customer service and it seems that the routes that takes us from seatac to downtown seattle are going to have major changes. Beware. The light rail train seems to be a better option, but we will have to wait until the 19th to have better info.
I´ll be walking very late after 10 pm at the benaroya hall area. Is it dangerous? Is this area crowded every day?
