the bus leaves baltimore at 7:30pm?  
 
 doesnt the show go until 10? or does it end early?

[Sage 703]

i've got no facts on that one.  just passing along what little i know.

i spoke with kelsey (?) at OnTap last week, and she said that the bus would leave a half-hour after the show ended.  i'm thinking that the 7:30 pm departure listed on the website is a typo.  i'll e-mail her and ask.
 
 "location tbd" should be in either alexandria or DC, either way it'll be metro accessible.
 
 ticket: $30.  not having to worry about DUI, vandalism/theft, partying and/or sleeping all the way back to DC - priceless.
 
 i'm sooooooo on the bus.

[Sage 703]

Kelsey is the one who would know, so I'd take her word on it for sure.

Well i'm in for the bus as well.... Anyone else want to hop on board and join the rowdy bunch in the back

oh yeah, OnTap typically gets a liquor license for the bus, so it's BYOB.  you've been warned  
 
 which brings up a question: can we leave things on the bus and expect them to be there when we return?  will we be on the exact same bus?  otherwise there won't be much drinking on the way home, since we can't keep our six-pack or mickey with us during the day (won't be allowed in the festie).
 
 as if they're survive the day in my possession anyways

forgot to mention: i'll send kelsey another note asking her about intra-day storage on the bus, per my last post

from kelsey, regarding the supposed 7:30 departure:

All the forum folks should make sure they get on my bus.  I'm working one of the two.

latest from kelsey, regarding storing things on the bus during the day:  
 
   

Absolutely! There are two buses but most everyone goes back to their same bus. Yu can however put your stuff under the bus. FYI: We donâ??t try to encourage people drinking too much on the way home but as long as you can control yourself I trust you. Kelsey
 

callat703 - let s know which of the two buses you're on, happy to meet other 9:30'ers

[Sage 703]

I'll be the 6'4" skinny dude looking hungover.

With luck, our CD release show will be the previous night.  So I'll be a bit exhausted come the morning of the 23rd.
