    i am driving 8hrs from kentucky to columbia then after the show taking a trip to VA beach and hanging on the beach for a few days after two awesome nights of PJ!

    Me too; I'm driving from the Lexinton area. Unfortunately I won't make it to the VA Beach show. That said, if any KY jammers want to carpool, PM me and maybe we can work something out, but like I said, I'm only seeing the Columbia show...

    I have an extra pair if tickets if anyone's looking (face value of course). They will likely be on the floor.

    I'll be heading to the show from Bonnaroo. It should be a fun time.

    Edit: SOLD!

    Cool site. Thanks for sharing. Welcome to the board.

    I've only been in Columbia once - I picked up a friends who was going to USC & we headed on to see PJ in Charleston in '96.

    Looking forward to making the trip back there from Atlanta.

    AMEN BROTHER! We do need some excitement for this show. I'm coming down from Richmond VA, and looking for a pre-show hook-up place. What's the Liberty Tap Room like?

    I'm also driving from Lexington, but think I'll be staying in Knoxville a night on the way down to see a friend's gig. I checked flights and they were outrageously expensive, given that it's only, what, 350 miles or so...

    Happy driving :)

    Hi
    First time on this but really looking forward to the show. Live here in Columbia and got my tickets - SECT 106 ROW 5 Seat 15-16 - by camping out overnight for the public sale. First at window and was told that FANCLUB got ALL FLOOR SEATS and a few on the side. Met Vedder at Prague concert in NOV-96, very nice person and very good show. Any questions about Columbia, feel free to ask me.


    What was the line like at the window? Is the courtyard the closest hotel and how about the regular Marriott or other choices? Thanks.
    So this is what it's like to be an adult.

    It's ok. Pretty generic food that is a bit overpriced. Occasionally they will run some good drink specials. The best thing about this place is that it's only about 2 blocks from the Colonial Center and you wouldn't have to cross any streets along the way (which can be good if you've maybe had one drink too many ;)).

    Other close choices are:
    Hilton Columbia Center (924 Senate St.)
    Hampton Inn (822 Gervais St.)

    both of those are within walking distance. The Hilton might be the closest hotel to the Colonial Center. I have no idea of the rates though. I'd imagine that the Hilton and Hampton might be a bit pricier because of their name (both under the Hilton family name) and proximity to the Vista.

    Tickets came in the mail today, section 104, row 25, seats 28, 29, 30, 31.

    We're staying at the Courtyard by Marriott on (I think) Assembly St. I think I read on here that is within walking distance (short walk?) to the venue?

    Are there good bars around there? Maybe some of us can meet up after the show. Anyone else staying at the Courtyard?

    Yep, it's in walking distance. Two blocks west, then two blocks north or vice versa since that part of the city is pretty much on a grid layout. It's not exactly on a N-S, E-W grid, but that's good enough to get you there. Just be careful crossing Assembly Street. Columbia drivers are known for not being the best and it's a busy street being in downtown and right there at USC.

    Check out the Vista before/after the show for some bars. There are a couple of good ones over there. The Vista is either 2 or 3 blocks north of the Colonial Center. Your hotel is within walking distance of all of that.
