Hoping I don’t bring the bad weather with me. In PA we’ve had 5-10 inches of rain and more is on the way. I was also at the Bristow show that got delayed due to storms and multiple parking lots got flooded.

That was crazy. The rain was coming in through the roof and from the side... It just seemed to be coming from everywhere.... They did a lot of construction work there this past winter. Could never find any info on what they did... Hopefully added more network support.

We just came back from vacation in Penn. Hit Punxsutawney, Gettysburg, Valley Forge, Hershey, and Philly.

Psyched for tomorrow! No tampa last year, and the year before saved all my money for a Gorge trip - but I’ve the last couple Tampa’s have been amazing. I’m just frothing for another solid summer Wednesday night!

[Antiramie]

Next. Show. Up. Get. Hype.

[Prezzy]

Ok heading to work a short day this morning. See ya'll in the pit!

[stp1fann]

I know it's a long shot but I just had my tickets disappear for tonight from another Ants member - if anyone has an extra pair anywhere in the building please let me know! Headed to the venue early today - thanks!

[mfine]

Heading to the airport in a few. Can’t wait for my third and final show of the tour.

2007 amigo, 2007...

The year the skies opened up over the amphitheater and they had their own version of a slip-n-slide in the backstage.
The show got delayed...
Shotgun got axed. A three song encore including American Baby Intro became
Stay.

It was also the last time we heard The Dreaming Tree here.

I hope yeaterday’s weather pattern repeats today, rain ending around 13:00 and a beautiful afternoon and evening.

I'll be solo in the rear of the pit ...fingers crossed tonight..set could go either way .

[UCFish]

Excited!

Also in the pit. Would take last nights show in a heartbeat.

[Stinkpuddles]

How was Dave's voice last night? Any better than last week?

[DBBSP]

I love the subliminal message on today’s poster. It looks like they will burn down the barns and set our fears free...

Live Nation says 4:30 for Parking lots...think that is real?

Guess I’m drinking in the street.

[Antiramie]

Looks like 15% chance of rain until right around start time, and then it jumps to 30-50% for the majority of the show. Granted this could change in a couple hours, but be prepared everyone!

[Cptn. Monkeyman]

Show #20 for me, getting pumped!

[Prezzy]

Currently slugging beers at Cigar City....so ready!

Wish I was there! :beer

Gonna have to slug some in my car before I head in

First show of the tour and start of the FL run for me this year... really hoping for a good start to it all tonight. Also hoping we don’t get a ton of repeats from Tampa to WPB, it’s been good in the past but this year it’s hard to say how it will play out.

Dude! You’re already making wishes for WPB? Lol
One night at a time!
You may get a lunar eclipse on Friday, how is that for uniqueness factor?

[DBBSP]

Going to Wheatfields Café for some South African Meatpies as a snack before heading down to the venue.
Anybody willing to join?

[littlest_viking]

Checked in, now pregaming!

Was just talking to the g/f last night about needing to go there soon. Have you been to Angry Chair? That's on my list too.

My usual M.O. with Tampa amphitheater shows is pick up a 6 pack at one of the gas stations off MLK, pound a few in the parking lot, grab a garlic parmesan tender basket and 22 oz beer inside, and chill until close to start time.

Fair enough lol... how about instead of a lunar eclipse we just get a solid ass set tonight with decent weather!

The weather report keeps getting better and better as the day goes!

[mfine]

Anyone get an email from the WH about buying the poster? I haven’t gotten anything yet.

Mostly cloudy for the rest of the day/night, folks.

Guess if we're gonna hear JTR it's gonna have to be midset!
