    any locals to the VA area take the Chesapeake Bay Bridge?

    On the way down from NY to the show we are thinking of going a little out of our way just to cross this..

    I don't live there but think I read earlier on that the traffic on that thing can be a bitch. You should probably check back through the early posts on this thread.

    Chesapeake Bay Bridge is ok i think. that's the real long one right? there's a around $10 fee to cross. trivia tidbit: it’s in one of the Mission Impossible movies. I think the third.

    It’s the Hampton Bridge TUNNEL that’s a bitch. Use the 664 tunnel, Monitor Merrimac Bridge tunnel.


    pj at Da Beach bAbY!

    Couldn't have said it better myself! On a side note...I usually go into a show hoping for three songs that I haven't seen live yet. For instance, at the VB show I'm hoping to hear...

    1. marker in the sand
    2. faithful
    3. inside job

    Will be MONEY if they play all three, but even 2 would be solid! Thoughts?

    I haven't seen Faithfull either, and am dying to!

    I've seen Marker and Inside Job a few times, but I wouldn't mind seeing both again, although I love Marker in the Sand much more.

    swallowedwords,

    I noticed your going to 10 shows. DAMN SON! That's more than I've been to in total! You better come away with some hardware (i.e., Ev pics, drumsticks, setlist sheets)!

    LOL, yes, I'm taking full advantage of this tour, and I'm so incredibly excited. Who knows, maybe Matt will throw me a snare drum or a cymbal. :)

    That would surely be cool. Are you going to the BW3s meet-up/pre-game beforehand?

    Where is this place? I'd love to go. All I know is that I'm staying at the Holiday Inn on Atlantic St. I'm not familiar with VA Beach at all. I'm a Yankee :)
