how did you like Sweetlife?

Sweetcell, there are easy ways to get to MPP where you wont get stuck in traffic for hours.  Every time I have went to V Fest, or ANY show (minus the Radiohead show i went to back in 03 when i didnt know the area) I have had no issue getting there. 

I agree with Vas.  Too expensive for one day.  If it had been $50 I would have definitely went.

Likewise, I don't think I've sat in traffic there for over a decade.

what is the best way to not get stuck in traffic?  29 S to the MPP exit?

[killsaly]

I think the best way is to take 175 (Little Patuxent Parkway) off of 95, and head in from the East side. (that is the way i usually take and have not had any issues).

Coming from DC on 29, you skip the first exit on 29 for MPP (Broken Land Parkway), flip a bitch and take the South Entrance Road exit. Pull right into the Howard County Library lot or head into the MPP lot if you so desire.

Yeah, traffic isn't generally an issue there, except the last time at FreeFest when they wouldn't let you in the Columbia mall lot.

Is this going to be SOP from now on?

[sweetcell]

yeah, i was scarred by the last freefest.  before that i've had good luck getting in and out of MPP, but the last freefest has me worried that we'll be snaking around MPP until we get to lots on the far side of hell.

flip a bitch

haven't heard that in a while!

[Yada]

I wasn't sure how to spell u-ie (youie)??   

[killsaly]

Weird.  i was able to park at the mall last year for V Fest... No issue.

[hutch]

well my friend who went said he'd post but i'm not seeing it so i'll summarize:

1. the food was unbelievably good..he was very psyched about that
2. the VIP tickets were a bit of a con because they were basically orchestra pit and because i guess the pit was oversold or something if the pit was full when you came back in then you were told to go to one of the loges or something

You can also go to that exit and get over to the left and go straight through the lights and it will take you to the mall parking lot.

... which is great *if* they're letting you park at the mall.

yeah..cause Seth asked for driving directions...

They had rent-a-cops at all the mall entrances "profiling" for mall shoppers vs. concert goers.  We ended up parking in a big garage over by the bank (I think?).  Not that big a deal, but it really snarled traffic around there.
