Um, why when I go to TM to potentially buy a couple more tix, is it not showing any available for tonight? No way they sold them all, they're not cancelling, I hope?!?

I wonder too@4:59pm Day of 5/13 ! 
  Is parking sold out- i havent been able to purchase a prepaid parking pass for 5/13 at all. Only for 5/12.

I haven’t seen any updates for this show. What did they do with drumming? Josh K or another switch off like night 1?

A local kid who plays in a band and is 17 played Mind Your Manners.  He was really good.  It's a band his daughter knows and Ed said he's seen live.  Everything else was Josh and Richard.  They added some songs to the arsenal that were a little surprising so that was good.

Drumming by committee was a success

So....if I had to do it all over again I would have stayed in San Fran and just taken the Bart to the Oakland Coliseum. I wish I would have taken that advice from others on here.

We stayed at the City Center Marriott in Oakland and had no issues other than we just weren't in the center of anything. We walked down to Jack London Square Wed night and had some great pizza at the Forge and grabbed a beer at a little outdoor bar (the only place where we had to show our vax cards). 

We encountered some strange shit entering and exiting the Bart station a few times. Came across a few guys smoking crack/meth on the stairs once.  

The Bart system was great. Nice walkway from the train to the baseball park
