    Do it! It's a Saturday and not a long drive at all. Plus it's on opposite ends of the tour for the NC/VA run so you get a different batch of songs.

    90% certain I'll hit this. ATL is closer to me than Jax (plus Jax is a dump).

    The venue is no good? I have a very rich uncle down there I can stay with for free. So I'm seriously considering hitting that too.

    Those are big selling points on going to this show. I really want to. I'll have to wait to see when tickets go on sale and see how cheap I can get a room for 2 nights. I really do want to go see Atlanta when it's warm and not cold and rainy.

    Depending on how high your standards are for proximity to the venue you should be able to get a pretty cheap hotel right near the venue but that's a shady area. Or just a little ways north of the venue you can get a good deal too it'll just a little longer drive. But nothing bad.

    Doesn't have to be 5 stars or anything but not a dump either. I'm going to talk to my friend that I went to ATL with last month and see if she wants to go. We stayed a few blocks from Philips Arena then. Where is the venue in relation to that?

    It's 6 miles north. Which is a pretty good drive for ATL but a very nice place to stay.

    Totally understand that. Especially for the type show ATL usually gets.

    Thanks. Yeah traffic in ATL sucks big time. We walked everywhere we went which was awesome except for the rain part. I will do my best to make this show happen. The thought of waiting until the end of July to see this band is semi-depressing.

    If coming from Downtown or parts North, don't take I-75 South all the way to the venue exit. Get onto PRYOR ST south either downtown or somewhere north of the venue. Learned this trick at a show this summer...I-75 was a mess, so u-turn and went to an exit or two north of venue, got on PRYOR ST which went straight to the venue...heck, do this even if coming from the south.

    Definitely pumped for ATL to finally get a Saturday show. Only thing that would have made it better was if they had done two nights since it's a weekend show.

    ^ 2 nights would of been awesome but at least it's a weekend so we can all recover on Sunday. And yea Phil I'd love a Charlotte like set for ATL this year.

    Hopefully they start off hot like they did Summer '13 / Hopefully they don't give us a standard set before the SPAC weekend.

    I think it'll be a nice warm up for SPAC. It's the 4th show so hopefully it's a mix of the best of the opening 3 plus a gem or two that they are practicing for SPAC!
