I wanna go to the Philly show tonight but last min train tickets are like $200 and if I am glonna blow that much on train tickets, maybe its better to go Sunday so I could see Holy Ghost and the full show...farther train ride but could sleep on the train and head to my office from penn station Monday morning.
Ahhh decisions! Times like this I wish rent in NYC wasn't so damned high! Might be too late to the game but you can do NJT to Trenton and then septa to Philly. I used to do that in college. Plus last minute greyhound is cheaper than it used to be thanks to mega bus and the like

I did find a $75 train ticket on way, I could be at the venue by $8:30. I am going to look at NJT to Tremtton and then Septa option too...

I think the above sounds like something out of Ferris Bueller but honestly that about describes it - 2 trains and a bus from NYC. Thanks for the tip! I am taking Amtrak there, will take NJ transit back to NYC. :)

It was a fantastic night in Philly, from the great weather to the performance by the band. First and foremost, if you are going to Maryland or Boston, be sure to catch Holy Ghost! they were awesome. We watched/listened from the lawn, so we could enjoy the nice weather, but I'll be sure to be down in the pit for tomorrow night's set. Really excited by them as a band. After their set we moved down to our seats in the first row of the Orchestra, stage right, and waited for the band to take the stage. 9:15 sharp and the intro music hit. From there, the band locked in and despite the broken leg (knee?) that has Bernard lumbering about the stage (no dancing, and often taking a rest on Steve's drum riser), we were treated to a very tight performance. Sound was a tad muddy at times up front, but per my wife, who took a brief respite, the sound was infinitely better 15 rows back. Set list was (may have botched the order):
Elegia
Crystal
Regret
Ceremony
Age of Consent
Isolation
Here to Stay
Touched by the Hand of God
Your Silent Face (my wife's favorite)
Bizarre Love Triangle
World
True Faith
586
The Perfect Kiss
Blue Monday
Temptation
Atmosphere
Shadowplay
Love Will Tear Us Apart
Top night. Nice meeting CM and seeing JG again....sorry I could not hang too long at the Bard's, but dinner with the wife was calling. JG, see you Sunday in Columbia. Safe travels. Again, it was a great night!! 6th time seeing them and I've not be disappointed yet!

So, in Maryland, it says doors open at 5:30. What is the timing for it all? And I heard something about a DJ????
