edited June 2008 in The Porch
I seen PJ numerous times in Camden but the last 2 times I got lost.
Word of advice DON'T GET LOST IN CAMDEN.

I was so lost in Camden that we found a cop and he escorted us out of CAMDEN we followed behind him at 50mph ran red lights (as he instructed) and he got us out. I won't get into the details of what happened while there but....we were lost.....it was pretty cool to run red lights behind him with his lights on :)

    Considering it was the cops themselves that were directing people the wrong way (AWAY from the BF Bridge), that was mighty big of him.
    I just don't get why they don't do a better job of getting people out of that shithole....

    I plotted my "escape" before I even got there. Left the show early and was on the Bridge in under 15 minutes. I learned my lesson last time I was there.

    Yeah right... I guess that's why the roads at the Jersey Shore are crammed with cars with NY plates on them every summer.

    New Yorkers = Bennies = people who wear wife beaters, socks, and sandals on the beach.

    BTW... Camden IS very dangerous.

    Shore has got nothing on the hamptons beaches. I don't see any Jersey trash on Eastern Long Island cause they can't afford it. J/K.

    Sounds bad, but I lived my whole life in Mexico City so it doesnt sound that bad, Mexico City is like the murder capital in the world, but it has its beautiful locations. I live in Cancun now, the alcoholic capital of mexico!!

    The wind was probably carrying the scent of the Arthur Kill from lovely Staten Island.

    Its sad that a nice venu like that is in the middle of fucking nowhere.
    I drove up a little late the second night and we had to park in this one lot overlooking a fucking trash dump. There were two lots open closer to the show and they had them blocked off.
    Fucking hate Camden.
    Oh and to the guy who said NJ is the arm pit of America........not funny focker.

    That is North Jersey.
    South Jersey is beautiful. Very nice, quite and some parts very very $$$.
    Beach towns are great for families North Jersey has its nice parts also but near the NY Boarder it's Kinda nasty.

    Yeah, I was at the Camden I show. We got lucky. We had GPS... we were in Camden maybe just a strip of the way. There was some dude running up and down the street trying to sell t-shirts and a couple hot dog vendors.... dirty houses to say the least. Its amazing though that not that far away from Camden are very nice towns of Jersey. Im from Upsstate NY and when we found that gas was cheaper (and they were full serve) and we discovered Wawah we were in heaven! I recommend a Wawah stop for everyone, killer subs!

    I love it when people talk about Jersey! I was born and bred in South Jersey (as a matter of fact, I wore my "proud to be a jersey girl" shirt to Camden 1!).

    It's 9 miles from my driveway to backstage at the Tweeter/Susquehanna, but it's like a world of difference (I live in total suburbia). I worked at the Tweeter for about 4 years and learned my way all around that part of Camden. It's nicer than other parts, but still scary for someone who isn't regularly in a place like that. I also don't understand why cops route people through the ass end of town after shows. Did you all get to see the lovely ladies of the night back by all the warehouses? Or up and down Broadway?

    And wawa is a staple of my diet :)

    ps - there are two farms in my town. South Jersey is NOT like North Jersey!

    I don't see how you could get lost getting out... yes I know the cops take you on the long fucked up way over the Ben but why not cut the hassle and just make a right onto (shit forget the road) but towards the Walt Whitman... I've done it for many shows and both shows last week and had no problems. Now I did actually wait 30 minutes or so before leaving but still....

    I'm going to Camden for the Radiohead show. If anyone can post directions in or out that make sense, I would appreciate it. What a shitty place to have vague, confusing directions!
