    Be VERY careful where you park in Hartford. My car got towed while I was at the Pearl Jam concert last year! It was hell getting my car back! I had to bail it out of jail! :x


    cars don't just get towed for no reason

    geez...that sux...and, well, that's why i'm asking ahead of time :)
    There is a free lot right across the street from the venue. The bus station is close to the pre-party location, but is a bit of a walk to the venue, including a walk through or around bushnell park.

    Who's staying in hotel in Hartford? Recommendations near the venue/bar/Union Station? Nothing like a little last minute planning..since I just bothered to find out that not only is Union Station CLOSED after 10 pm but the only train/bus doesn't leave until 6-7 a.m. What kind of city IS this anyway? geez man. :roll: :lol:

    I'm staying at the Crowne Plaza downtown Hartford...booked it on priceline for $55 a night (its about $110 a night if you book from the hotel website).

    I think its about a 15 minute walk to the venue.

    thanks guys. i looked up area hotels, i was wondering if anyone had experience at any of them, cuz i hear that i sure don't want to be waiting round for the bus/train station to open up again in the morning. :roll:

    thanks for the info!

    Looks like Homewood or Holiday Inn Express is closest to the pre/post party. Anyone staying there?

    All those attending:

    WE NEED MORE RAFFLE ITEMS!

    Obviously band/EV memorabilia would be prime but be creative...how about a gift certificate to some of the great restaurants or delis that our Hartford threads have been highlighting?
    Or put together a unique basket of goods.
    Or if you have an extra ticket to donate?

    PM Steve Dunne, our fundraiser Grand Poobah.
