I believe you guys have all the information already. We should meet before the show to hang out, I don't know if some of you are planning to be in line early, hopefully this time they'll sell the poster early and not at the time of the show.

ElMacho, do you know what hotel PJ usually stays at? Someone told me the Four Seasons?ElMachoBionico said:
Colonia Roma is indeed a good place to stay (and Pearl Jam usually stay in a nearby hotel), but the metro really closes at 12 AM even on Saturdays. You shouldn't be worried about the cabs though; like Gabriel E. Ponzos said, there are plenty after a show.Red Lukin said:I booked a suite in Roma. It looks like a pretty cool area. It's a 15 min cab ride from Foro Sol, but I read online the metro is open until 1am on Saturdays. Worst case I'll stumble to the airport and catch a cab from there. Or I'll walk with you jammers to Riazor and ask the hotel to call me a cab.

FYI, I went to Mexico City show in 2011. I have a friend who lives there in Napoles and stayed with him. Show was on Thursday, Thanksgiving. We were about 7 miles from Foro Sol, grabbed a cab at 5pm and CRAZY traffic. If I remember correctly, it took TWO HOURS to go about 6 miles. As we got about a mile away we realized it would be faster to walk the rest of the way. I remember it being VERY sketchy and it was only about 7pm. Very dark streets, sketchy people in the shadows. If I wasn't with my friend who is Mexican (and I kinda look Mexican) I would have been very sketched out. Even my Mexican friend was a little on edge.2000: Los Angeles, San Bernardino

any recommendations on hotels close to the Foro Sol. grand prix and Riazor look as though theyre booked, somewhere we can get back to in a cab after the show. Thoughts?

Thanks for the info el macho.
Ryan it makes sense since you're only a few stops away from centro. Plus the hotels will be full of jammers. I'm always down for a meet up with fellow jammers when traveling. Anyone interested in lucho libra on Friday followed by drinks? I'm not huge into fake wrestling but it could be fun
Drinks we can try condesa, Roma, zona rosa or Centro. Condesa and roma might have a better vibe and more locals. Zona Rosa and Centro might be closer to those staying towards the raizor and more central for everyone.0 -

I'm also at the Riazor coming in from New York. Booked two queens but haven't found someone to go with me yet. If it gets closer and I still don't have a 2nd it definitely makes sense to save some money and pair up.0
