Leftie??
The big question..will he or won't he?
Is he feeling the uncontrollable urge to see Bruce despite the traffic jams and the drunken crowds at Giant Stadium?
Yet to be determined....

Here I is.
Got on the Turnpike at Exit 10, and got off at Exit 11 - fuckin' propane tanker overturned at 16W. Sad

Latest report is traffic's backed up all the way to Newark Airport.

Show's supposed to be delayed.

My prediction for last song?
'Quarter To Three'.

Thanks, but don't need it - ain't going.

Good luck to those that are, though.
Latest news report is that the cleanup's estimated to take another three hours...

Just spoke to GTRM. She arrived at the stadium about 10 mins ago and is in the parking lot. Seems that the route she came in from wasnt affected at all. Hasnt been in the stadium yet so isnt sure if many other concert goers have made it yet.

I believe she had to go via Jersey City, if that makes any sense.

Report from the GS lot posted at btx:
"It took a bus from New Brunswick over 3 hours to get to the parking lot. Left at 5 pm got there about 8:10.

100's of people with signs looking for tickets, no one selling. People arriving real late. Folks with tickets awaiting LATE arriving family and friends are the only hope for tickets are this point. Many offers on the table for people who don't show.

Show rumored NOT TO START until 9pm."

That bus ride should've taken an hour, tops.

The tsuris for both ticket holders and needers...

Total speculation on my part, but I've got a feeling the tour ain't ending in Milwaukee anymore.

And I'm not saying that tonight's show is getting cancelled...

Wreck On The Highway ....That would be most appropriate huh. Wasn't meant to be Lefty. Fuckin stadium shows. Reminds me of when I went to see the Stones at Dodger stadium on the ABB tour. The date got changed from Sat. to the Wed before Thanksgiving. I worked till about 3. Sat in traffic trying to get to the Oakland airport. Got to LA. Sat in miserable traffic getting to the hotel. Spent a quality 1/2 HR at the hotel bar,before getting in a cab and sitting in even more misereable traffic getting to the stadium. Long wait before the Stones came on. No wonder why everybody down there comes late and leaves early. What the fuck?

Its out in the middle of nowhere though isnt it, so its not as if its in a major urban area and theres problems with noise. GTRM texted me a few mins ago. Looks like its due to start anytime.

when lisa and i went to see the bigger bang show i insisted we get there at noon and then somewhere along the lines the changed the rules. somewhere i read they don't open the gates until like 3 in the afternoon. we drove around in circles for awhile.
this is to prevent people like lefty from drinking to early and causing a disturbance
