    Update: lady at Zeitgeist says it's still on even though we didn't meet the quota. She was still interested in doing it, so she contacted gathr.
    Everyone come out and watch!

    Weather was listed as clear on cool yesterday. Now 60% chance of rain. Assuming rain or shine? Getting really close.

    As long as it doesn't get cancelled. I was Wrigley, but had to leave during the rain delay in order to catch the train back to WI. So I will be really pissed if it's cancelled. I wouldn't worry to much about the forecast just yet. The weather forecasters can't predict the weather for tomorrow, let alone over a week out.

    It won't be canceled unless there is lightning, which isn't likely. Weather will be awesome! I can feel it!

    Just street parking. Absolutely zero public lots. Would suggest public transport, official shuttles, cabs, etc

    For those who have done voodoo, How big of a cluster fuck is the cab line or public transit after the show?

    Cab line is definitely a cluster. Streetcar/bus lines may be long, but there should be quite a few waiting. Plus, they're cheaper than a dumb cab anyway!

    If it's anything like Jazzfest was in 2010 the wait for the shuttle bus will be an hour or so. I've never left during YLB before but I might tomorrow.

    Jazz Fest hold WAAAAYYY more people than Voodoo. You probably won't get on a streetcar in two seconds, but it's still probably your best option.

    The merch booth is behind the main voodoo merch tent, near the arms. They seem to be servicing one person every five minutes.

    Actually it looks like they are opening the merch booth now.

    We got there for 5pm, and the merch was flowing much quicker.
    Badass show, for sure. Good job, Gleason!
