I bet the Delaware Valley and Center City will be a mad house this weekend. Glad I'll be faraway from it all on the trail.

The London Concert is looking to be pretty good. Paul McCartney and U2 will open the show together playing Sgt. Pepper.

Hospitals are gearing up for problems, and SEPTA is putting everything that rolls out on the streets and rails. I will not be there.

the stage is the steps of the art museum right? The skyline will be a great backdrop to this event. Philly has one of the most beautiful city skylines in the country.

I'm going to Live3 on the Loyalsock. Maybe we'll hear the music from Canyon Vista.

Unless I'm grossly mistaken, the skyline will be behind the crowd. The Art Museum will be behind the stage.

They're doing sounds checks now, no cars on the Parkway (eerie), fountains have high fences around them... I bet there are no portapotties anywhere else in the state! It smells like one big urinal cake! Traffic will be forbidden from Poplar street to the Schuykill, Broad St to Fountain Green Drive. That is a HUGE area. Good thing, there are some fine looking women walking about (probably looking to shack up with Bon Jovi or me. I was wearing my shades so they probably didn't recognize me.)
Maybe Carlos Santana will show up to play with Rob Thomas.
