Hello all! I near where the Live 8 concert will be held in Philadelphia.
The FAQ at http://www.nbc10.com/news/4664263/detail.html says that
cameras, chairs, food, and nonalcoholic beverages are allowed. Alcohol,
umbrellas, and controlled substances are not permitted, but that's not a
surprise!

Andy, I will be at Live 8 with a friend. Feel free to email me if you
want to meet up with my friend and me.

My friend and I plan to arrive at the concert around noon. The entire
reason we are going is to take photos because we figure it will be an
historic event that may never happen again in our lifetime. We figured
we would record some of festivities on digital film for posterity.

By the way, do not try to drive to the concert; traffic will be a major
nightmare in the city on Saturday. The area surrounding the Ben Franklin
Parkway will be closed off to automobile traffic. I plan to take public
transit, and you should too. If you are not familiar with the Center
City area, feel free to email me and I can give you some tips to get
around. A tip, I heard on the radio this morning is to buy your SEPTA
passes or tokens for your entire day before the concert starts. I did
this today.
