i've been very close to the stage every time i've gone.  i didn't find the sound to be that bad where i was sitting.  i have no sympathy for someone that drinks so much they can't stand, even if it is on an incline.

  Oh yeah, its always been one hell of a time getting to Merriweather through that MD traffic no matter what concert it is there. Dang that Incubus is playing at Merriweather on a weekday in October, I sure can't go. And then they play at the Richmond Coliseum a day or two later, should've just played east coast first but ah whatever

Except for getting through downtown Baltimore traffic on a Friday afternoon, I didn't have any traffic problems going to Merriweather either. Never left the state of Maryland and still had a long drive. Seems to me that the mess was in the DC area or NOVA.
 
 Guess I'm one of the lucky ones for Oct. 8th as I don't really like Q And Not U, can't stand the Beastie Boys and won't be in Tampa. It's Hope Of The States all the way for me!         Just heard from a friend of mine in Australia that the HOTS show the other day was fantastic and his best show of the year to date.

I still haven't seen anything concerning a press release or anything on this show.  Does anyone have a link?  Or a date for when tix go on sale?

  What is it about Oct. 8th? Q and Not U are at Black Cat. Hope of the States are at 9:30 Club. And now it is possible that the Beasties are at Patriot Center. I will miss it all because I will be in Tampa seeing the Pixies. A popular night for concerts. I recommend Hope of the States out of all of them, by the way. Q and Not U will be around again, and the Beasties are at that arena. (I agree that I would rather see BB at Merriweather. I'm not completely anti-Patriot, but Merriweather has better sound + atmosphere.)

>>> I will of course be at the Pixies show in New Orleans at the Voodoo Music Fest. For the life of me I can't figure out why people are going to see the Pixies in Tampa at the godawful Suncoast Dome instead of the friendly confines of "Hard Rock Live" in Orlando.......please freaking enlighten me!
