    I'm down! Can't wait to this show. They showed Birmingham some serious love when they came in '09 and I'm still kicking myself for not going. Ain't nothing keeping me from this show.

    GREAT venue for a DMB show! I love Oak Mtn. As for where to stay, there are hotels literally within walking distance, but you'd better book now!

    I'm live somewhere within a 5 mile radius (less actually) of the amphitheater.....so if anyone needs recommendations as to the best hotels/bars/food/anything else let me know and I'll be more than happy to help out as much as I can!


    Ramada is right off the interstate. Older building, but if I can remember correctly the inside and rooms just got renovated.

    Walking distance imo is anything between the Ramada and Comfort Inn (behind Sleep Inn) is a pretty easy walk.

    Are there any "must see" or cool things to do on the area? Or a great restaurant?

    Not that I can think of off the top of my head. The surrounding 10-15 miles is basically all suburban, so I guess if you like the outdoors you could kill time at the Oak Mtn. state park. The hwy 280 area is where the majority of good for food/entertainment and its about a 7 mile drive down 119 (the road the venue is on)

    As far as resturants, you've got most all the typical chains. Depends on what youre looking for. Theres a Hooters literally right in front of the venue, also an Applebees next door to that. Margarita Grill is a good good place for Mexican & alcohol.



    I dunno, I'll think about it more and get back to you

    Also, if the hotels in the immediate area get booked check the hotels in Alabaster. 5 mins down the road.

    Yep! It's about 12 hours from here, including swinging through my hometown (chattanooga, TN) and picking up my friend. So excited!!
