I have 2 extra weekend passes for Made in America for Labor Day Weekend. I'm pretty sure you can still buy them on the website but I'm hoping someone can help me out and take them off my hands. Pretty pathetic I can't get 2 extra guys to come but it probably has something to do with Drake and Skrillex... Anyway, if anyone is looking for tickets obviously they're face value, I'd even consider taking a few bucks off just to get them off my hands.

I'm gonna be there on Sunday, bitches.

Plans for the day:
1) See Pearl Jam.
2) Pound a couple of beers with Warehouse.
3) Make out with Sam.
4) Punch De Dora in the face.

Anything I should add/subtract?

Where is everyone parking? At hotels? I'm driving up from DC and back on Sunday, I'd like to park close. Will pay extra to avoid particularly stabby neighborhoods.

Dude, you live in DC. How much worse could Philly be?

Philly's actually a lot worse, especially towards people with license plates from rival sports cities. I'm thinking about driving up as well.

Looks like the leftovers of the hurricane are headed for Philly on Sunday. So... Wash to open?

the concert is in center city, safest part of the city. there's parking garages all over. id park a few blocks away and walk that way getting out will be easier. i'm taking the train, however.

pete, are you 21 yet??

That's disappointing. I was kinda hoping for some sexy member swapping between Cornell and PJ.

That's soooo shitty. I was wondering how Chris was gonna make it from Iowa the day of to Philly. Damn him and playing at some Obama love-fest.

And yeah warehouse, turned 23 this month.

'Made in America': a make-or-break moment for Philadelphia?

August 29, 2012
By Eric Walter



The scaffolding and stage are taking shape in the shadow of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and a security perimeter that could have come out of a Department of Homeland Security playbook has formed from the front steps to 22nd Street. Center City traffic is being rerouted. Tourists will have to put off that run up the "Rocky steps" for another time.

The "Made in America" festival is making its presence known in a major way, and Philadelphia is of two minds on the subject.

Tens of thousands of ticketholders are looking forward to a world-class holiday weekend music festival, featuring more than two-dozen acts and two days of outdoor boozing.

The rest of the city — we're not so sure.

WHYY's Maiken Scott, who lives nearby, reports that many neighbors are complaining of parking trouble. Also, she says, "the fact that Von Colln field will be fenced in is making people mad. It's a popular weekend destination."

There have also been many complaints about selling tickets to a concert being held in a location where much larger events like the annual "Welcome America" and the 2005 "Live 8" were available to the public free of charge. Some NewsWorks readers have commented that one of Philly's many partially taxpayer-funded stadiums would be a more appropriate venue.

Others have said the staging is a foolish undertaking in a time of fiscal crisis. Concertgoers will not be allowed to come and go from the grounds, so the benefit to area businesses is unclear. Mayor Michael Nutter, a staunch cheerleader for the event, has refused to discuss its dollar-value benefit to the city until after it's all over.

However, some NewsWorks readers, such as Brooks191, have urged calm:

I understand neighbors' frustrations with an event like this. It creates the typical issues of crowd control and sanitation concerns. However, it's important to remember that the festival is a tenth of the size of others. The ticketing, while new, doesn't have to be scary. If anything, done well it may help control the flow of crowds in and out, lessening the impact on the neighboring communities.

And let's not overlook the fact of how groundbreaking it is to host a festival of this caliber against the backdrop of a major north east city. The fact that it's in Philly, and not in Boston, New York, or D.C., speaks volumes to the innovative spirit of this city; one that suggests we're not afraid to try new things as we continue to affirm our spot among the country's best major cities. So yes, there are reasons to be concerned, but there are plenty of reason to be excited as well.

On the other side of the 8-foot-high chain-link bubble, the beat goes on.

Do you think the parkway is an appropriate location for "Made in America"?

Mayor Nutter has warned us all to stay away from the area if we don't have a ticket, but will crowds gather around the perimeter anyway, creating an unsafe environment outside the venue?

Do you think "Made in America" will "make" Philly, or are you counting the days until it's over?


**********


I will be making a break for my car as soon as the first note of Ledbetter hits.

You are correct. Philly is one of the few places in the world I have been where I never really felt safe, though I have not stayed there for more the few a days in stretch, and two of the four trips have been for PJ shows.

It's probably just me, I have always been a worrier and have never been a fan of mob violence.

lol, it could be me. ive partied in camden since i was 16, not a whole lot makes me feel unsafe. and the museum district in center city is a billion times safer than camden. im kinda pumped for it after walking by today.

check out the set up
