Announcing 'The Home Shows'

Did anyone see that other live Instagram video yesterday? It was grainy as hell, but I think it was at Zillow's headquarters, and I think I heard Eddie Vedder's voice in it. From what I could discern, they projected stuff on the side of the building or something.

Also, FYI, there's an Embassy Suites opening up this May I believe in the Century Link field parking lot.  That would be another option to book that might not show up on booking sites yet.

I checked that yesterday, and it's already booked solid. Not so secret anymore I guess, lol.

Dang! I hate that building.  It blocked the nice Sound view from my office

How much of the field is going to be GA? Thinking about buying a membership for my wife so we can potentially score 4 tickets together in GA but I don’t even know if that’s possible. Really wish I knew before I blow $20 on a membership. 

I know now hotels are a hot subject, I booked the Moore Hotel a few days ago. It’s a nice hotel only 1.5 miles from Safeco and I got a room with 2 Queens for only $159.

Quick question.   what is parking like around Safeco?  I'm looking at hotels that are google mapped to be about a 10 minutes drive.  Would i be better off driving or Uber?  I will be flying in and renting a car.  Also looking for advise for hiking trails.  Specifically around Mount Rainer.  

You'd be much better off if you take an Uber from your hotel. Parking garages and lots will run around $50 or more for the event based on past experiences. Whenever there's a Seahawks or Mariners game, you can bet it's going to be at least $50. There is very minimal street parking, so I would advise Uber.

We don't even know if they will have a GA yet. It is a gamble that I would take. It is just 20 bucks.

Think they’ll allow you to enter the lottery if you join 10C after the announcement? I sure hope not

Yeah, no kidding. That wouldn't be fair at all. People in other threads said they've been telling all their friends to join after yesterday's big announcement, so I hope that won't come into play when lottery time rolls around.

Bring on the Lottery announcement!! Can't wait.

No; usually the date of the cutoff for being a member (for a lottery such as this) is before the announcement was made.  We will see when it comes out.

In anticipation for the lottery, thinking about what my first choice should be. My only stadium experience is having reserved seats way at the back. What is it like to be in GA? If you aren't near the front, can you see anything? Would middle to back of GA be equivalent to reserved seats?

Also curious about this. I had an amazing GA spot in Ottawa in 2016, but the GA area was tiny. My wife and I are both on the short side (5'4), so I'd hate to be stuck mid-to-back GA and not able to see anything.

for Wrigley we ended up getting in the lineup around 4pm.  We did ok.  We got to the centre of the pit about 12 to 15 people deep from the stage.    We could see everything pretty good and had a great time.   The pit was huge though, and way more densely populated than an arena pit.  Watching the bluray, it's crazy how wide they made it.   It was narrower at the front, but at the back it got superwide, and I would imagine the viewing angles from the sides of it couldn't have been that great?

So, I've might have gotten a friend be interested in tagging along. He grew up in an upper-middle-class family in the better part of town though. I don't really know how to act around those kind of people. The people who had two cars, all the expensive Turtles toys and good white-collar jobs at SAAB. Going to the other side of the world might be a bit much.

for N2, we started lining up around 4:30 and managed to get to side stage, below the screen... Stone side, 3 people deep... probably the closest I've been to...anyhow, viewing angles were actually decent, nice crowd.. we were standing beside Danny McBride, kids on the side as well
