I'll try to find you guys! I can't check into my hotel until 4pm, although I might get there around 3 and see if they'll go ahead and let me in. I'll probably leave the hotel around 4:45pm and get to the venue about 5 so I'll be on the lookout for you. And thanks for mentioning there are parking lots right there at the intersection! I was wondering where the parking would be!

I'm planning on leaving my house 'round noon tomorrow so I'm expecting to be the area by 3 or 4. Get some food then start looking around for people and see what's up. Can't wait!!!

Now keep in mind that my information on that is based solely on what the venue's web site mentioned, as well as those creepy satellite photos on Google Maps.

I'm also leaving home at 11 or 12, and checking into my hotel. I was also thinking that I can't check in until 4ish but we will see. I should also arrive around 3ish.

I will have 2 12 year olds with me an they would be thrilled to help Greg. And, so will I:) We'll seek you out near the intersection.

I'll be getting on the road in about 15 minutes, after I double-check and make sure I have everything and pack up my little cooler with sandwiches and drinks. See everyone there!

Keep in mind there is a chance of some isolated thunderstorms tonight, so you might want to bring a poncho or something to help keep you dry.

Also, the venue's Web site says the stage is 28-feet high.

I hope that's not the case, or my neck is going to be very sore.

If anyone is already at the venue and can actually read this, can you find out what time the show will actually start? The website says music usually starts an hour after the gates open, but it's subject to change. I'm having a little car trouble and probably won't be at the venue until 7:30. I want to make sure I'll be there before it starts.

We're in town but not at the venue, sorry! I highly doubt if the show will start before 7:30 though, it will be too light out for the videos. Of course, in this wind I'm not sure the video screens will even be usable.

EVERYTHING in this city is closed on Sundays, holy cow. We just went out hoping to find a place to have a light dinner and nothing is open, not even Starbucks - guess we'll be scrounging for junk food at the venue.

Louise is far from the only Brit in Columbus today, the West Ham football team is staying in our hotel. Also here are their crazy fans, some with painted faces, all for an exhibition game against the Columbus soccer team. I may be the only American staying here!
