    Laura-

    if you want you can start a new thread for the CCFA/pre-party. just cut and paste the RSVP list from the 1st page of this thread. your other threads seemed to be pretty well-organized. :)

    I already did that and no one cared about it...

    One of the things I had planned after the Tweeter center show was going to South Street to Jim's Steaks afterwards for a post-concert cheesesteak which is what I did back in 2003.

    This is why I love you man, that is so fucking YIELD!!!!!

    I don't blame you dude, honestly. Having a couple of canopies will rule. How cool was Philly 10/3? We didn't have an RV and that shit ruled like Dokken in 1984.

    We'll need a laptop so we can watch the drunk Oasis dude, tho.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    By doing it this way, it's eliminating the need to collect money from people, and still won't cost more than $25-$30 per person (maybe less) and of course the cost to park at the venue.

    I'm still waiting to hear about permission for the CCFA pre-party there, but having it at tents in the lot would work too...

    (I'm an organizer...can't help it, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes, so any other ideas can supercede mine, I'm just throwing my two cents out there)

    I like the BYO idea. collecting money from people can be a pain in the ass. Plus I don't want to have to get Tony Soprano to hunt people down when they don't pay.

    So basically we will need to coordinate the time the lots open, all arrive at somewhat the same time, just set up some tents, card tables, BYO on the beer and food and of course WAWA hoagies. Bring a couple footballs, frisbees, PJ music, maybe a portable DVD player so Fanch can watch SVT and a great time will be had by all. :)

    Dude the post-concert cheesesteak is a must. basically you will be drinking all day from 12 noon until about 11pm, then you head to Jim's Steaks afterwards for a cheesesteak. best thing in the world.

    As far as the DVD situation we just need a portable DVD player.

    Not at all bro! Things 'read wrong' sometimes when typed, especially on the 'net. I hope I didn't come across wrong- like I said, I don't care as long as we party in any way shape or form.

    Julian- No cold water on the party at all and I hope I didn't sound like I was dumping on you somehow, because I wasn't. I was just trying to keep momentum going I suppose. You are right- lots of work, and a huge undertaking, both time wise and financially.

    That so would work much better.

    Dealing with collecting money from people is a major pain in the ass..I hate doing it.

    We'll just have to make sure everyone signs up for bringing something, so we don't end up with 50 bags of potato chips....

    We could just all meet up like an hour or so before the lot opens and caravan over together so that way we can all park near each other. Either way Im finding that green tent with the white women and having a Natty with Fanch!

    That's where a phone chain or a big flag would come in handy...we'd all be able to find it and party...

    I was just thinking of meeting up beforehand would be cool so that we'd all just be parked near each other.

    The parking lot doesn't open until 2 hours before showtime...

    Come to the CCFA party! They'll be plenty of drinks there and it'll be for a good cause!

    That elimates the CCFA pre-party at the tailgate, cause that is supposed to be from 2-5...

    So looks like I'll have to find a good bar/restaurant around the area for it...anyone know of any good places? I'd like to have it across the bridge in Philly (but not too far as to get to the venue easiest)...

    Anyone?

    must be nice to live in a city like Detroit or Toronto CANADA. where you can wait 3 days later and still get 10 club tickets. EASILY....

    problem solved. this place looks pretty nice, 20 Horse Tavern, yes its located in Camden but it looks nice, maybe even too upscale.... according to the "Directions" section of their website it's within walking distance to Tweeter Center.

    oh yeah. the 20 Horse Tavern serves buffalo wings and waffle fries. thats always a plus.

    On another note: I'm not too sure about that 2 hour rule because I can swear I have tailgated before Tweeter Center shows several hours before show time, even as early as 2pm.

    Maybe the *official* Tweeter center lot opens 2 hours prior but all the other un-official lots open whenever...
