I'm here for all your lodging and watering hole advice. Plenty of places within walking distance for pre and post party goodness. Lots of locals are stoked for the show and we like to get down.
I'll be in Spokane, reserved seats. Any ideas of the usual conditions of Snoqualmie Pass (I-90) during late November? I don't head to the east side of the state often, but when I do, it's usually in summer.

BTW, I like your avatar. That was my first PJ show 9/16/96 at the Key. I have the poster.

There's definitely a chance the pass could be bad. Keep chains, food, water and blankets in your vehicle and check the WDOT pass reports frequently beforehand. Once you're over here you're golden. Most likely there won't be any issues.

Thanks for the advice! Do you know what the drive is like from Portland to Spokane? Any major passes that direction?

It's generally easier to drive from Portland. The only issues you might run into is ice in the Gorge going east on I-84 and when you start going North into WA the roads are one lane and very rural if I remember correctly.

No 2 lane roads to worry about. You take I-84 to I-82. I-82 will lead you into The Tri-Cities. Getting through there can be confusing though. Once you're in Kennewick (one of the Tri-Cities) you'll want to head toward Pasco (another Tri-city). From there head north on Highway 395.There should be signs leading you to Spokane at this point. 395 is all 4 lane divided highway (basically a freeway) once you get through town. 395 to I-90 then head east to Spokane. No mountain passes. If it's clear and you don't stop a lot, it should be a nice 5hr drive.
Spokane Arena is a fantastic venue for sports (been for March Madness) and have heard good things about concerts. A few bars nearby, but I recommend downtown if you don't want standing room only.
Can't decide if I am gonna drive over fly over, immediately after Apple Cup.
Anyone know how many GA tix were sold for Spokane?
I've got GA for Spokane and reserved for Seattle. My wife, who is short, small and doesn't like being pushed around, is trying to decide if she wants to go to both shows or just Seattle. For her sake I was hoping GA would be like it was in Missoula, but based off the seating chart looks like it might be more crammed.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
From what I can tell, it looks like everyone who requested GA got it. Numbers wise...who knows. I'm imagining it will be similar to what Missoula was. Everyone will have their own space to get loose without much pushing or shoving.

Thanks again, Ezo5000! Not sure yet if I'm heading back to Seattle/Everett after Portland or staying the night in Portland and then heading to Spokane. Either way, I'll be going across Snoqualmie at some point.
Count me in!! Got a friend's spare for GA
It'll be my 2nd time in the US. First time was for PJ20 So what's Spokane like??
Planning on doing Portland thru to Seattle (still need GA tix for Portland and Seattle though :? )
if I keep holding out,.... will the light shine through?
I disagree about the pass, while having chains is a good idea in general, I've driven over Snoqualmie at least a dozen times around Thanksgiving, and it's never as bad as the news and WSDOT makes it out to be. My senior year in Pullman, Gregoire declared the pass in a State of Emergency. It was bone dry and there were no traffic snags.
