    Hey - stupid questions.

    1. We are staying at the Hampton Inn on Pitkin St in East Hartford - it's right across the river, near 84. Is it a reasonable walking distance from the XL? Also, I found parts of Hartford, just outside of Downtown, to be pretty sketchy (based on my memories of some time previously spent there for OSHA training back in '04) - is this area around the hotel a not so great neighborhood?

    2. We are planning on getting in to town just after noon tomorrow, so we'll have some time to kill. What is there to do nearby? I don't have much time to be browsing Hartford travel guides at the moment...

    Thanks! This show will be amazing - it has to be, it's my only show on this tour, I got shut out of 10c tickets, then my first shot at Ticketbastard tickets (got the third row back in the lower bowl, maybe 3 sections down from the stage? They were great, for non-10c) got screwed up while ordering - I logged back in, and after 52 minutes "in line" (waited less than 30 seconds my first time through), got section 219! Bleh! At least I'm in the building. So my point is - PJ, DON'T SCREW THIS UP! :-) Well, it's gotta be better than Hartford '06! :-)

    See ya all there...

    Sorry but no -the hotel is no where near the XL Center - at least for walking distance. The only way there is on the highway so if you drive its about 5 -6 minutes. (Of course if there is no traffic-so if you are getting there around noon you should be fine).
    There are plenty of bars right across the street from the XL to check out...

    my bud Uncle Josh and I have a tradition to get pumped up for this. We watch the episode of 90210 where Brandon get's shitfaced and utters the famous line in 90210 lore "Hit me Muntz" during the pool keg party. It was probably the greatest episode ever even if you hated the show, and just gets you pumped for shit like this. For you who watched the show, check it out sometime online. Leaving in a few hours.

    What's the forecast?
