I just got back from the Wells Fargo Center. The ride on the Broad Street Line was fast and the air conditioning strong.
I was able to see the merch trucks unloading 50th anniversary stuff. The Flyers/Sixers store is being remade into a Stones store. There were piles of tee shirts and posters just sitting on top of boxes out in the open.
The two sidwalk stores are huge. As in HUGE. Easily they are some of the biggest trailer stores I've ever seen. The 6 big rigs are parked out back, and they were joined by a purple one while I was eating lunch.
I saw three workers figuring out how to handle the lines. I spoke to another - the dress rehearsal is tomorrow afternoon.
The heat was unreal. It was so hot that it melted some tar on the blacktop and got all over my left shoe!!! So I stood in the parking lot shaking my left leg around to get the tar off. I guess you could say it's sort of a left shoe shuffle kinda thing.
Xfinity Live is very nice. If you plan on getting a table or a booth, call ahead. They plan on being booked up from 5PM onwards.
The arena is under lockdown. There's not a single door ajar.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones are in my fucking city and I couldn't be happier.
