The venue is within walking distance (albeit long) of Pickles, Inner Harbor and Powerplant. I was thinking of parking once for the night and not worrying about the car. If we meet further away I always liked Fells Point and Canton dives.

Pickles happy hour is pretty decent. We could also go on a tour de force, pitchers of Sangria at Inner Harbor, Oysters and shots at a seafood house, Pickles for pitchers and then walk over to Mariner Arena.

I did something similar for an Elton John concert a couple years ago and it worked out well. Not sure how the weather's role will impact - hopefully its nice and mild like this week.

    I think we should keep it simple as far as number of places, depending on how many people respond on here and within reasonable walking distance to 1st Mariner. Pickles' 2 for 1 pitchers and hh specials are niiice...maybe do like a 4-7? Any other ops?

    Ah true, simple is ideal for rolling arrivals of people. Pickles probably has the most going for it in terms of identifiable location, space, and bang for your buck. We could say 4 to 7 at the P and try to have something on the table to identify the group - balloon or something.

    Good call sir. Yea, having a lot of stops may overcomplicate. Let's plan on Pickles Pub 4pm (or earlier) to 7. For anyone unfamiliar, Pickles is about 4 blocks from 1st Mariner Arena. Let's see how many people want to get in on this...

    I'm game for wherever people want to meet within walking distance. Depending on my girlfriend's schedule, I'm hoping to head out to Baltimore by early afternoon.

    Sounds good to me. Here is how it comes out on Google Maps... pretty manageable even if it is cold.

    I may Priceline a hotel in that area too - I have been successful in getting the Hotel Monaco for cheap in the past. If so anyone would be welcome to grab drinks/drop off stuff last second on the walk to the venue.

    I stayed at the Hotel Monaco when I took the bar exam over the summer. The Manhattan I had at the hotel bar following the exam was one of the most delicious things I have ever tasted.

    Haha I think anything after THAT test would be one of the most delicious of your lifetime. I indulged in a murky little Blacksburg concoction known as a Rail after my bar exam, dangerous more than delicious.

    You are 100% correct, and I'm sure the timing had a lot to do with it. That said, the mixologist there is pretty awesome. http://www.bandorestaurant.com/baltimore-bar.php

    Wow, okay, I think we need to rally interest on our walk to the show to stop off for a top off before going in to the arena.

    It's not a huge bar area, and it's also a bit more upscale, but if I can get out of DC early, I may start there and then meet up wherever people decide is the best spot. Plus that way I can start with liquor and then switch to beer when I move bars.

    Does anyone want to make Pickles Pub 3-7pm the official spot before the show? That place is pretty big so there'll be plenty of room. I think I will have a decent sized group with me as well.

    I mean, yeah. Is there a process by which it is made "official"?

    Just to throw another idea out there. My group is meeting at Pratt Street Ale House. It is much closer to the venue than Pickles.

    Hey I have 2 Warehouse floor tickets that I'd like to switch out for (good/decent) seat tickets. Anyone interested in doing that? I don't care about price difference as long as the seats aren't awful.

    Bumping for Pickles Pregame!

    Pickles is located at 520 Washington Boulevard Baltimore, MD 21230 and I believe some people will arrive as early as 3pm. (I was aiming for a 4pm arrival)

    Happy hour goes from 3pm to 9pm and has 2-for-1 pitchers, $2.50 bottles, $1.75 drafts, $3 rail liquors and cheap food. Or my favorite, Bohtini, a Natty Boh can lined in old bay spice.

    Also, ParkWiz has prepaid parking across from the arena at Centerpoint Garage for $14 (3pm to 1 hour after show ends).

    This sounds great! Thanks for the info. I'll be getting there around 4 as well - I'm solo for this show and looking to hang out with some ants.
