I just realize the shows are during Spring break, that means I can bring my family over and spend a couple of days in Philly before getting back to NYC.
Problem is... I waiting too long and hotel prices are through the roof. Same with Airbnb. Any ideas?

You can always try the 'burbs - either across the river in South Jersey or Delaware/Montgomery County? Just a thought. Even the hotels down there in the Navy Yard have jacked up?
We stayed at the Radisson Warwick in '09 for the Spectrum shows and again in '13.
We have a 2 month old now, things are different (financially speaking). Back then I think we paid less than $150 per night (Spectrum was $129 iirc, 10c special).
At this point I can't justify spending $500+ for two nights. The alternative would be to stay a little outside of the downtown area but with a newborn that's calling for a disaster...
I'll just commute from NYC and introduce little Liam to cheesesteaks at some other time.
I'm looking for a job. I send resumes, of course, but I also write down what I want from my new job on a daily basis. It's a great way to get into a great mood because this wonderful job experience is already in my head. Usually, I write about the responsibilities, the commaraderie of my colleagues, and about what type of future I can have with it. Today I started to write about my future job and then I realized I was writing about the type of luggage I planned to bring with me to Philadelphia for the shows.
The next 22 days may be a challenge.

Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!
Part of me wants to take a day away to Philadelphia and scope the place out and get my picture next to Rocky out of the way. The other part of me tells me to look for a job. Boo. 20 more days.

You could plan some interviews in Philadelphia around PJ!

Or I could go round trip on a Saturday. (Yay!) I checked the Amtrack prices and they aren't that bad. Maybe a little trip on the 23rd - Rocky, me, coffee, the good life.
Actually, the Phillies are playing an afternoon game vs the Nationals on the 17th. That would be win-win on so many levels. And, I'll be more familiar with the area when I come back for the three days near the shows. This is most likely just dreaming, but it's fun anyway.

Pre-show tailgating at Wells Fargo is the best, and rivals any big sporting event that you would go to.
F'ing awesome. We're gonna bring it this tour, boys and girls. Two days of tailgating and boozing in the lot.... anyone up for pong? Cuz we're bringing a table, and taking all comers. Consider the invite out for a friendly game. Four 30 something face to face fans ready to rock. Man, I'm just getting warmed up.
count blenderman and his daughter in for tailgating,beer pong and a little of phila's finest green!!!!!!!!!
feel free to join us for the finest green around, i'll pm you my #...
Philly is gonna b great but i have to say, lauderdale is lovely right now, 85 low humidity and this beach is beautiful, as are the fine ladies of fla.
Im jealous!!!! Have a great time kicking off the tour! See you all in Philly

Thank you, blenderman69. I was thinking about safety and food, and it looks like it is near the rail system. This will be my first AirBnb try. Here I go.
