    FYI if you ask for directions you may hear these street names. Below is how they are pronounced:

    Huger Street is pronounced (Hugh-Gee)

    Gervais Street is pronounced (Jer-vay)

    PS I'll have 4+ attending.

    If you look to the bottom left of that map, you'll see a big round shaped building - that's the Colonial Center

    I'll try to drop by if I get to Columbia early enough. It'll be me plus one more.
    No need to be void, or save up on life...
    You got to spend it all

    hahaha....I'll never forget when I moved to Columbia the first time someone told me hugh-gee. I was so confused for a while because I thought it was pronounced like who-ger...

    Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

    Thanks again to tdub for organizing this. I plan on driving down from Charlotte around noon, checking into the hotel, grabing some jalapeno cheddar wings from Wild Wing (best wings in the Carolinas) and then hitting the Flying Saucer. I actually have 2 more people coming with me so sign me for 5 total.

    I have 2 tickets to sell face value section 116. All I am asking is what I paid $137.50 for the pair. I'm still going but a good friend of mine will be not able to go and I am selling my extra pair.I also have 2 in section 118 that are for the wife and I.

    not sure if this link will work but here's a sweetly-detailed zoom of the flying saucer:

    It worked. It is located 2:00 of the "location marker".
    here's the colonial center http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&FORM=LMLTCP&cp=pnz60187d7mm&style=o&lvl=1&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=13085384&phx=0&phy=0&phscl=1&where1=931%20senate%20street%2C%20columbia%2C%20sc%2C%2029201&encType=1

    so, if I am looking at this aerial view correctly, the FS is only a few blocks from the Center?

    that would be sweet if parking was doable at the saucer.

    thanks to all for posting directions and maps. im all set and ready to "go"!
    Empty pockets will allow a greater sense of wealth.
    Why contain yourself like any other book on the shelf?

    Subtle voices in the wind hear the truth they're telling.
    A world begins where the road ends.
    Watch me leave it all behind.

    Still working on the fund raiser part of the party and we are thinking about getting a banner. Anyone want to offer their services? Or anyone have any idea where I could have one made. I just don't have the time to do it myself.
    Just something we can hang somewhere to let people know this is where the party is!

    Thanks so much for all the donations so far!
