i didn't buy the tickets yet.  i've never seen feist and i've seen rogue wave once.  granted, they come through town a lot (i even have tickets to RW's november show at the black cat) but i'd like to see them together.

You can try taking 495 North to 270 North to 28 East to 97 North to 70 East. Then follow the directions from Frederick on their website.  It got me to a Ravens game when 95 was backed up.

heres a funny thought:  what if everyone started living their life and making their decisions the way Rhett did?

  If time is tight, you may want to consider driving to Union Station then taking Amtrak and a cab to the show. It's a lot of running around, and not cheap, but you'll make it to Baltimore in about 40 minutes regardless of what traffic is doing. If you can't drive to Union Station, take a cab; don't rely on Metro, it will probably be closed by the time you make it back to Union Station.

You can take MARC there to save $, but Amtrak or greyhound is the only way back to Union Station [/b]

When I go to Baltimore for shows, this is what I usually do.  I'm going to the Feist show tomorrow via MARC train in the evening and planning on taking the 11:35 train back to DC, which will be a $14 fare (pretty reasonable in my mind).  
 
 I would just suggest making sure to have the phone number of a Baltimore cab company and calling for a cab well in advance to make sure you can get to the train station on time.  I've had consistently bad luck trying to hail cabs from venues in Baltimore, and once, I didn't call for a cab early enough, it came late, and I ended up missing the last train back to DC for the night.  Just be aware of timing factors, and it's a pretty simple process.

Just out of curiosity, what did you do in that situation?

A friend of a friend was living in Baltimore at the time, so I got her number from my friend and basically begged to sleep on her couch for the night.  She was really cool about it, so I took a cab to her apartment and then got on one of the early MARC trains the next morning.

another friend of mine said the same, and also her mic was down low.  i was upstairs and had neither problem (talking or low vocals).
 
 i was only disappointed that she didnt play "One Evening" and slowed down "Inside Out" too much.

Were you working or actually there on your own?
 
 I was on the floor behind the guys with the massiva cameras and it was a bit difficult to hear her at times. But overall, I was quite pleased.
 
 Any idea as to when this show will air?

But I guess if you didn't know of someone there, uh, get a cab and hotel it?
