If I had to take an educated guess it was around 2,000 people. The Levitt organization was very helpful with lawn chairs, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The sound system was also almost perfect, it wasn’t too loud and it was very clear. We will see how tonight’s concert goes, fantastic band;
A couple of observations though;
• There was NO temporary bike racks and people seem to pile their bikes together or chain them together.
• People (especially women) were praising the restrooms.
• The concerts end right at 9 PM sharp. I think they should adjust the time to 10 PM on Friday and Saturdays. The sun was just going down at 9 and it would have been cool to watch the music for another hour.
• The drink ticket situation is strange. The tickets are only good for the day of the event and they quit selling at 8:30 PM. So if you have any tickets left, you are screwed. On a positive note though, the selection was really good for beer, etc. But in a strange move they put the wristband station on the west side of the park and the drink line on the east side. I guess they make you exercise for your beer.
Also, on my ride home, I took this strange photo behind Slumshine. Unrelated.
This “strange photo” is most likely a snapshot of an alien spaceship checking on the progress of the hotel/ramp project and other things too…..(“Well, it looks like we’ll need to add the Arc project to the list of the ‘Not Done’ along with the railroad yard, bunker ramp, and the State Theater.”)
Oh, and Levitt last night was great; but wouldn’t it be fun if Lyle Lovett played at the Levitt?
Helpful with lawn chairs? You do not have to bring your own? Any comments on parking? I was thinking when we go, the parking at the multicultural center to the west? Food and beer prices. Reasonable?
