The website didn't have many pics of this place, is it nice?

Pretty nice spot - looking from the outside. I've actually never been inside the venue, but from what I have heard it is rather nice.

1200 Hampton Street location? I went on Pricline and found no such thing. Can you help a brother out?

I know this was posted that someone received word of this in an email...

...but now, they are calling this the "Official" Pearl Jam Pre-Party. Take a look on the far right.

I really hope no one's going to this. Quite frankly, I'm not sure that we are the fancy cocktail and shrimp roll type of crowd. The Saucer fits us better.

I'm just curious if anyone is going. Think it would be hilarious if only 5 people showed up for it.

The Saucer is more PJ hang out. Trust me they have the best beer selection and yes it is all ages.

WTF? I guess it's not put on by the band, just the Colonial Center

For those who have asked it is a nice and very new venue. I go to see the Florida v. SC mens basketball game every year. We buy tickets center court in the top level and those are good seats. Of course for PJ I had to get seats in section 114 close to the stage. I have a hook-up on a box to visit as well, should be good times. VOTE FOR VEDDER!!!

I guess the Marriott is becoming the "official" PJ hotel for the Columbia Show

It is a deal that can't be beat.

The Vibe Room must be inside the CC. Anyone know for sure?
