Would you feel comfortable being an hour away from a GA line? You sure you want to do that the night before the show? :wink:

Give yourself the day after second show.
 
I'm going to be screwed most likely and have to work. Was hoping for a nice dinner / drink gathering for a few hours the night before. :hmm:
 
i really hope they add a second show so that we can do the crazy GA-day madness for the first show and then go into town and do touristy stuff and get drunk for day 2.
 
Bonfire idea sounds awesome. Another option would be a pub / restaurant crawl along College Ave., in the Rockridge neighborhood of North Oakland. It's a safe area, with great bars and pubs (including an Irish one!), yummy restaurants, and a great vibe. There's also a BART (subway) station right there, too - so transport would be easy for out of town folks. It'd also be a nice way to do an event in the city that's hosting the concert.

And I don't have a link, but I will *swear* that I read somewhere credible that Bono was spotted walking along College Ave., back when U2 was in town for the Vertigo tour. So it's got that going for it too - the Bono coolness factor, lol.

Is it June yet? :drool:

I lived on Lincoln and 7th for a couple years (and then in the Richmond for a couple years after that) - I remember how cold summers are, and yeah, it might be a bit stressful to be on the other side of the bay the night before the show for the GA'ers. But I just LOVE that beach.

But yeah, maybe staying more in the Oakland area (or Berkeley?) might be a better idea.

Berkeley = Blondie's Pizza! So good. Old stomping ground for me. Jealous I can't make this show.

If a second show is added, I'm gonna go at it the opposite way. Easy on day 1. Hardcore on day 2. As I hope/think GA line up will be less crazy the 2nd day.

I lived on 47th and Santiago. I remember one year Herb Caen (SF Chron) wrote that the sunset district saw no sun what-so-ever for 38 days in 1978. After all those years the fog began to give me the SAD's. I love anywhere in SF. Ocean beach on a Indian summer days is unbelievable. I live in Napa now. Very Warm and Cold. Little if any fog. :up:

I don't think GA in Oakland would be too much fun for me. ( I know why it's great for others:love:) Been there done that. I just don't like that stadium.(It's another Candlestick) I'm jazzed as I got good seats and it's U2.....
 
Dont they usually add shows the day after?

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are lame for shows. :sigh:
