    Sending out press releases to local TV stations this morning.

    I'll follow up on the day of the event as well.

    Regardless, you all will have a fabulous time!

    Cheers,

    That is super awesome! you really did a great job planning all of this. i'm impressed and very excited for the preparty! i work at Giant Pharmacy in that shopping center and have lived in the area for a number of years so if there's anything that anyone needs (besides drugs from my pharmacy ;) ) please let me know! i can tell you the best way to get to and from DC to the venue and some key spots to avoid. i use to work at Nissan (now Jiffy Lube Live) back in high school and i frequent the venue every summer. my suggestion, if you're traveling in from DC, Maryland, or South, leave early! anyone from northern VA will tell you traffic is a bitch and i'd hate for anyone to be late and stressed out for the pre-party! :D it's gonna be a great time and thanks again vedderdays for all your hardwork. i'll buy you a beer on thursday if i ever figure out who you are!

    is anyone parking at the venue and then walking/hitchhiking calling a cab etc. to get to the pre-party. we did that at philly on 10/31. i've heard the parking is horrible and figured we would get there early.

    parking at the venue isn't horrible really. it's a huge lot and can accommodate everyone. it's leaving the show that sucks. the traffic exiting the parking lot is horrendous so you're actually better off getting to the venue later because you'll be closer to the exits. those that get there early are kind of blocked in. but at any rate it's a pretty hefty walk and not one you'll want to make if it rains like they're calling for. but a cab ride to and from the bar to the venue should run you about $10, depending on traffic. see you at the party!

    I agree with shedreamsincolor. Parking isn't bad...its getting out thats bad. Plus if I recall 10club members got special parking?? I thought that was how it was last time I was there. Anyway...I wouldnt worry about that part.
