Google says 35 minute drive, but sounds like that's wishful thinking.... Any ideas from the locals?

Thanks!

I'd say give it 75 mins and you should be fine. 90 if you want to be safe. Better to be there early then to be late.

Awesome. Thanks for the advice!

Hello Locals!


DMB is in our hood - seems like forever ago that the tour started. I always wished that the tour would start on the west coast but now that it is here I wouldn't want it any other way! They've been playing it out all summer and now they are here to strut the perfected jams.

Bring your can goods tonight. Drop off locations by front entrances or as a last resort at the eco-village.

If people want to taxi to ocean beach (92107) and be at my pad no than 4pm - I can take 3 people. Email me with your phone number so we can talk involutionary@gmail.com. I think my PM box here is full.

Adam - it will be good to see you! I'll stop by your neck of the woods once we land.

Soooo excited to be in the pit! It's been quite some time.

[dreamingrace]

p.s. avoid the 805 people.

Self promotion: it's my birthday today. If you see me in the lot or at the show say happy birthday. I know you have no idea what I look like so just say happy birthday to any short dude wearing glasses.

[dreamingrace]

happy birthday dog! Not sure where the tailgate is - perhaps adam or someone else can chime in and let us know.

[420th jimi]

Same place as always. In the southeast lot. I believe there will be a couple different places for it. We are usually down at the end by the street in the corner, first left.

Happy Birthday neumdogg!

[420th jimi]

BTW, I'm still looking for a single. Prefer pit but mid 100's is fine. Let me know and thanks!

[Kenwood]

I'm now leaving PHX for Southern California and my DAVEcation. This will be my 22nd and 23rd DMB concert. Heading down to San Diego for tonight's concert then up to Irvine Meadows for Saturday's show which is the final DMB concert of the summer. Need to reenergize my soul with my fellow Daveheads! I'll look to join the Ants tailgaters in the southeast lot.

The band has been taking the stage around 7:15 so I would plan on being in the venue by 7.

You think so, even though the tickets say 7:30?

[karelle02]

Desperately ISO a single pit for tonight. My hunny is sick so I'm going alone. I have a pair of 200s I can trade for it, but I'm also happy to pay cash. Text me if you can help! 858 382 4143

Thank you!! LoVe & peace... ��

This has made my life confusing. Keep drinking or head over early? Such tough decisions.

Ok...maybe 7:30 but I would still be in the venue or heading in by 7. They have for sure been taking the stage before the sun goes down.

[antsmarching777]

10 minutes from the venue. Hope the lots are still empty so I can score a parking spot in the southeast parking lot on the end of the aisle. I'll be the guy in the tan Alpine Beer Co. shirt, so stop by and say hello.

Made it from PHX in 6 hours. At the southeast lot. Where's the Ants?

Usually far corner closest to the road

That's some good timing :wink

[Kenwood]

What time should I head over if I want close pit to stage

[cornjob81]

Anyone else get the poster? It's really cool!

Nothing like traveling a thousand miles to hear the Lovely Ladies howl on your favorite song. Save Me is right.

[cornjob81]

Poser of not, it's a beautiful poster. Beautiful artwork. I'm proud to own it!

Dave REALLY likes to play Jimi Thing at this venue.

Corrected that for you. Sorry I missed you.

[420th jimi]

Dave did mention the band going into the studio after the tour to work on new music. Also said it gets harder to write music the older he gets.

I saw it first hand - it looks nothing like non-other. I love the oblong shape.
