my wife has advertising friends in ATL... She's trying to get a minivacation together... we'll see if it happens. I know there are a few great tap houses in town... meet and greet would be fun.

I got my tickets yesterday!
It looks like the restaurant sandwiched between Phillips Arena and the Mariott is not Jock and Jill's anymore. Is it open now and what is it? That is the perfect spot for a meet up.
My son and I just got our tickets! Keep us posted on a meet!!! Who else is going?

there are two sports bars attached to the CNN Center/Philips Arena complex. One is Taco Mac and the other is called Dantana's. Taco Mac is traditional bar food (wings, burgers, etc); Dantana's is a bit more upscale. Just a couple blocks north on Marietta street is another spot called Stats, where they bring a mini-keg to your table.
I'm bringing my 11-year old kid, so I don't know if I'll be joining in the pregame festivities or not. If someone sets up a preshow hang though, we might stop by.
Got my tickets in yesterday "section 116" . Cant wait to get a good beer buzz before the show.
Section 312, row S and I'm voting for Taco Mac if we are taking a poll.
I know we have floor seats, but I can't remember which section. Not as close as I'd like, but close enough!! My son is so pumped! He plays guitar and Eddie is one of his heroes. I know this will be the best concert he'll ever see or hear. He wants to meet him, but I told him the odds of that are astronomical. It's okay....he'll be thrilled just to see and hear him play. (Yes, I've raised my kids right....Van Halen all the way!)
Taco Mac sounds fine to me. We just need to figure out a time. Can't wait to meet all of you!
My seats aren't all that great. I had a code for the Phillips Arena presale and I guess by that time all the good floor seats were gone, all that was left was in the back corner, so I decided against that. If I could have been in one of the front two sections or on the first level up from the stage I would have spent the extra cash. We sat in roughly the same spot a couple of years ago to see Def Leppard and it wasn't so bad.
I'll be there in Section 104, Row D with my new gf. She had the misfortune of attending the Van hagar reunion in 2004 and she thought it sucked. It's time for some Diamond-style cleansing!

I overpaid but i am on row 20 from the stage in the center floor section. I will be there and will be sporting my Eatem and Smile tour shirt to piss off any Hagaritas who may be there. If you see me give me a shout. If you guys want to meet up outside the arena somewhere let me know. I took that day and the next day off so it is showtime.

Okay: it's getting close. Have we made up our minds on a meet? Atlanta traffic is crazy, so the closer the better. We need to get a time and place set! Looking forward to putting faces with the names (and names with the names!)
I'm staying a few blocks away, the Mariott was booked solid, I'm at that 73 story joint around the corner from the aquarium, which I plan to visit Friday. So either of those restaurants at the venue are cool with me.
What about Taco Mac at around 3:30? We are driving a long way and I'm going to get there a little early to avoid rush hour traffic (which genuinely sucks in Atlanta). We can kill some time hanging out and discussing all things Van Halen. One round of beer on me to the Roth Army-ites who show up!! By the way, do we know if cameras or cell phones are allowed? The venue web site states that it is at the discretion of the performer.

Thanks for the info about the camera. Been working a lot of hours and out of town so I haven't been able to keep up with what's going on here for a couple of months now.
If I get to meet ya', I'll buy you a beer!!!
BTW: Here's a recent photo of me (and my granddaughter) so you guys and gals will know what I look like so you can find me and my kid.
Okay, so it looks like my son's friend who is coming with us has a class that morning, so we won't be arriving in Atlanta until about 4:30 Eastern time. So, is it Taco Mac then?
JenniferM
I'm down with Taco Mac.
two nights away!! I was starting to get nostalgic, thinking this might be my last time seeing these guys, but they just went and dropped B'ham, Knoxville and Greenville for August. SWEET!
I won't be joining for the TM meet-up. We've actually got tickets in one of the suites, through a buddy of mine. Two friends and my 11-year old. Have a great time everybody!!
OK, it looks like we have the following:
gbranton (Glenn) + 1 (wife Janis)
JenniferM + 2 (correct?)
sonrista salvaje
That's six.
abecar9, heartbreaker, Prothro? In or out?

Yes. Me, my son Jeff, and his friend Eric. Jeff is a big ol' boy, 18, and kind of reminds you of Wolfie.
I am so stoked!! Hope I can sleep tonight! Worked 12 hours Monday, 14 yesterday, and 12 today just so I could get tomorrow OFF! I am READY!
Let's hope we have more than one table of people at TM.....COME ON FOLKS!!!!!!
Look for:
This guy:
Wearing this shirt:
And these:
sweet shoes, man.
this is for our superfan Momshell and our other vicarious army die-hards:
Assuming decent coverage, I will try to post during the show tonight for songs 4,9,13, and 18. I've done the play-by-play a couple of times before (notably opening night in Louisville), and it does distract from the show, so I'm not gonna go crazy.

I will post a few random thoughts as well. On the road now.
