    Don't know why... but, the Embarcadero Marina Park is a GREAT place for a concert.

    I'm waiting too. Checkin' the computer everyday, don't know what's going on. Hopefully some news soon.
    Using the word "methinks" in your message board posts doesn't make you look smart.

    You guys get a great one-two combo... White Stripes on the 18th, Smashing Pumpkins on the 19th. If you get a chance... GO!!! The Embarcadero is a General Admission venue. Invest the time in line and you are real close. Plus, you are standing on grass, not concrete or asphalt.
    Very nice venue.

    Agreed. Such a gorgeous venue this time of year. Saw Radiohead & Death Cab there last summer & such great memories. Going to see the Pumpkins twice next week in San Fran but am still waiting to hear about this show...the venue is enough to make it tempting to go a third time..

    I'm still waiting to hear something too... There's been very little communication from the band or the venue. I'd hate to miss the on-sale date.

    Hopefully there's no venue change... still haven't been to the Embarcadero since I moved to SD

    Sounds like it may be moved according to this article:

    http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/20070713-9999-1n13concert.html

    Specifically, this part:

    "Meanwhile, four upcoming Viejas-booked concerts at Embarcadero Marina Park South – shows by Smashing Pumpkins, Hilary Duff, White Stripes and Diana Krall – may now be moved to yet-to-be-determined local venues operated by Live Nation.

    A Live Nation spokesman was unable to confirm yesterday whether the four Embarcadero concerts would be shifted to company owned or operated venues here. A Viejas representative attributed the possible concert moves to concerns from nearby Coronado residents about noise levels at the shows, rather than to AEG Live's move into the local market or the departure of Redfearn and his staff."

    Could be the end of concerts at the Embarcadero, unfortunately. I just picked up a kayak a few weeks ago, partially with the intention of catching free shows at the Embarcadero and Humphreys.

    Hopefully (for me) either the Pumpkins or the White Stripes get added to Street Scene. I bought presale tickets hoping it would be a decent lineup, and while I'm excited about a few of the bands (Muse, Arctic Monkeys, Social D, Clap Your Hands say Yeah), there's not much else on the lineup to look forward to.
