October 25 - Rose Bowl, Los Angeles Part II (The search for a party suite continues)

It's difficult having to leave some behind.

It was really weird too. They were huddled together in the cold outside a bank. Not entirely sure what was going on there . . .

My shoes were huddled outside a bank???

Nope -- the Brewers Racing Sausages.

These guys . . .

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this, but please look up at the balloons and try to remember where you parked on the golf course. I have forgotten or gotten confused on where I parked on that golf course many times. I have walked miles up and down that golf course (it all looks the same) numerous times searching for my car.

After a few seconds, everything starts looking the same.

Ok gang, we are wondering who is up for a gathering on Saturday. A few of us are looking at places for either drinks and/or dinner in the Pasadena area.
We just need to find out how many people are interested. So please let us know by posting your name here.

Depending on the amount of people going, we can determine the best location.

 

[waynetravis]

awesome. what time are you planning to get there?

Early I think. Whatever time Lila wants to pick us up

 

[FitzChivalry]

I saw the Milwaukee Brewers Racing Sausages inexplicably hanging out in Sturtevant, Wisconsin today. Somehow it made me think of the Rose Bowl.

I am so having a couple hot dogs or Bratwursts at Rose Bowl and toasting Nic!

Count me and anadgemila in, assuming all goes well on the drive back from Vegas.

lol... that reminds me. After the show, look for vendors selling what I call "Suicide Dogs", which are bacon wrapped hot dogs. They are kind of an LA speciality, and are awesome.

I also second the suggestion for paying attention to the Balloon Number of where you were parked and add that I know some people will bring a balloon of their own to help mark their car because yeah, it all looks the same.

 

[RedRocksU2]

^^Cool!

Ok, I did my duty and scoped out Old Town Pas last night. It is a very busy happening place on a Sat night, now next week there will be tons more people due to the show. I looked for something off the path so to speak and that would provide food and drinks and a kickback environment without being too loud and crowded.

My pic is Lucky Baldwin's. Very small, deceiving at first, but there is a patio and I can totally picture our group going in a early and claiming the largest table and sliding some others if needed. The only con, was the menu, not a super huge selection, English pub food basically, but it looked good, sandwiches, salads, fish and chips, etc. The website is below and there is a menu as well. I also included a photo of the patio (from the website) that would show you the setting.

(not sure why it's like this, but click on it)

The other location I liked was Barney's ltd. off the main street, inside only, nice menu could accomodate a group of 20ish if we get there early. Link below, select Old Town location:

There is also a Cheesecake Factory and a Buca's in Old Town. I really like the idea of BJ's Pizzeria too, but it is about 5 miles from the Old Town area, not sure if we would be willing to do that. I thought since majority were probably staying in Old Town area, w/the exception of 3-4 that I know of, staying in that area may be preferred??

Ok, think about it, post your thoughts and whether you are in for a gathering. I'll be off and on today, it would be nice to have this figured out by Wed cuz I'll be outta here for the VEGAS - LA party!

 

[nicv]

Count me and anadgemila in, assuming all goes well on the drive back from Vegas.

Very cool! Are you staying in the Old Town area? I am sorry, if you already posted that. Just getting an idea.

 

[nicv]

Oh and for anyone interested there is a "haunt" going on in that area.

The Old Town Haunt for $13.50

PASADENA BIGGEST AND SCARIEST HAUNTED HOUSE

I'm out for Saturday. A concert, two drives, and then another concert are enough for me. : old:

I won't be there Sat. either - won't be in Pasadena 'til Sunday.

I totally understand, that is why I'm looking for a mellow time Sat night. I want to be able to enjoy the LA show in a non-zombie state of mind.

I won't be there Sat. either - won't be in Pasadena 'til Sunday.

I hope Sat night in Vegas pays off big for you so you can buy us all hot dogs and snausages at the Rose Bowl.

 

[Lila64]

Probably not in for a gathering on Saturday night. Long day on Sunday, and the early morning drive/pick up doesn't make for me wanting to drive in a ways on Saturday as well as Sunday, surviving & having to return home Sunday night/Monday morning.

[nicv]

That should cover almost everybody....

 

[Dfit00]

Woww, you really need to work out after the show.

 

[trojanchick99]

I can't make it on Saturday, I'm going to the USC game. Go Trojans!

 

[kramwest1]

I'm closer to full vegetarian every day.

[waynetravis]

I can feel my heart thanking me

 

[redkat]

No, I'm in Orange County. Shouldn't take too long to get back and forth. \optimistic

The Cheesecake Factory tends to have a long wait, and I don't think they let you call ahead. It's been a while since I've been to that one so I could be wrong.

I like the look of the pub of course

 

[nicv]

^cool, me too.

So far you and I for the pub.

U2 at Rose Bowl

Does anyone know what time the lineup starts? I know the parking opens at 8am the day of the show...

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

wrong place for this.. best going to the venue thread in tour dates and fan gatherings within the 360 tour forum.. I am sure you will find some answers over there


this will be merged more than likely.


here ya go: http://www.u2interference.com/forum...earch-for-a-party-suite-continues-200779.html

 

[mysticchild]

I might have missed out on this but does anyone know where the lineup is going to start and at what time? Because I know the parking opens at 8am the day of the show...
