Rain won't bother me. I did GA 3 times in Dublin last summer.
While having to eat soggy tuna and egg sandwiches.

wow you know how to use the quote feature!
The weather has been wacky here in Atlanta. We have had all 4 season this past week. I am used to humidity especially since I live in Georgia. I know storms move in and out of Florida frequently in the summer especially in South Florida. I think I will hang out at the condo until a few hours before the show starts then head over to the stadium. I anticipate NJ will be equally uncomfortable in regards to humid conditions.
I was thinking of that this morning while reading this thread. I remember on the 27th it would start raining, I'd get my rain jacket out, put it on and by the time I had it on it would stop, and I'd have to take it off because the sun would come out and it would get warm again. That must have happened more than 5 times during that day.
God I loved that freaking movie growing up. U2 nerds unite!
There is always the chance for the June gloom with foggy, cool mornings and showers in the afternoon.
It might bother my allergies a little, but some Claritan can clear that up.
They actually arrive at a very normal angle, they take off like this / because the residents of Newport Beach hate noise...nothing like sitting on the runway, the guy revving it up, his foot on the brakes and then peeling out and then up / out and over the Pacific but he levels off as soon as he cuts over the waterline...its all good...
woah. *puke*
is john wayne the airport where you sometimes get off/get on the plane by walking on the tarmac?
i remember flying into one of the non-lax airports back in 2002 and i had to do that

Every time I hear Alameda, I think of a frustrated Mr. Chekov trying to find the naval base in Alameda, "where they keep the nuclear wessels."

I've flown out of John Wayne several times and I don't mind it at all. In fact, the first few times I flew was out of John Wayne, so I had no idea that it was an unusual practice.
I like roller-coasters a lot, and there's something very roller-coaster-y about the whole take off that I like.
The take off out of Florence, Italy makes you want to puke. You fly straight towards a mountain and bank left to the point the left wing is pointing down towards the ground. I thought I was going to die.
I love Italian . . . and so do you.

Simpy a question, but are we actually discussing weather 2 months before the gigs? That's alright. I like planners.
There's a very small airstrip (not airport) at a little village in the Nepali Himalayas called Lukla. You fly there from Kathmandu to go on the trek to Mount Everest. It's absolutely gloriously terrifying.
The airstrip runs downwards for about 100m before a sheer, sudden vertical drop down the mountain. And these are the biggest mountains in the world. Lukla is at almost 3000m elevation so the winds are pretty strong too. The planes are small, crappy old propeller jobs with short take off and landing distances. But still!
The take-off is worse than the landing though. You're heading down this briefest of runways towards the cliff edge hoping there's enough momentum for take-off.
There have been a few accidents there in the last few years since I've been. This is in a country where airport staff in Kathmandu sacrifice animals on the runway to try to get better weather!
I wonder what the VIP lounge looks like here!!
