YourPopQuizKid Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'm driving in from Austin, have no idea where this place is or the best way to get there. Any one from San Antonio want to help me out, or is a simple map all I will need? Parking secrets? Maybe? I'm driving in with my friend who just moved here from Ohio, so he's even more helpless than I am. And even if you've got no insider tips for me, is anyone from VC going besides me and whatdisay and his wife? Hmmmmmm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmmmmm? i'll be driving over from austin with my husband and two other pals on friday afternoon. i've never been to this venue either-i guess we'll just use mapquest. from the website, the place looks to only hold 1,000 people, which i'm pretty excited about since the last few times i've seen wilco have been at stubb's and the acl festival.

Hixter Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 And even if you've got no insider tips for me, is anyone from VC going besides me and whatdisay and his wife? I'll be there. I'm flying in from SoCal on a conveniently arranged recon mission to scout for a place to live. I'm being transferred to San Antonio at the end of the month and I know nothing about the city.

I'm driving in with my friend who just moved here from Ohio, so he's even more helpless than I am. And even if you've got no insider tips for me, is anyone from VC going besides me and whatdisay and his wife? Hmmmmmm? I'm assuming you've already checked out the website, etc.? I think they have ample parking for this place, as it is composed of a few different venues in what I think is an old, renovated train station. My cousins live in San Antonio, so I'm going to try and get the skinny from them once I have the chance to make a call. If I find out anything relevant, I'll post accordingly...

juice Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Holy crap, I just saw the post about this show! I have been out of touch due to work, etc. and didn't even realize they had any Texas locations as part of their line-up. I am in Houston and will be looking to break away and get to this show Friday. And the above post was correct, the venue is a renovated train depot right off of the Riverwalk area. Pretty easy to get to and should be ample parking. I have a cousin in San Antonio that I will be staying with as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saint Genevieve Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I'm coming down from Austin also. I was just planning on using Mapquest to get there - I figure it's probably not super hard to find. (Famous last words...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atticus Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 my anticipation has progressed from the itchy to the can't-get-work-done-from-excitement stage... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Genevieve Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 my anticipation has progressed from the itchy to the can't-get-work-done-from-excitement stage... When are you planning on getting there? The ticket says doors open at 6:00 - I was thinking of trying to get there maybe an hour or two ahead of time. (Maybe closer to two hours, given Wilco fans' obsession with queuing.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We're driving in from Houston so I'm sure as soon as we clean up and grab a cab from my cousin's house we'll head on over and hang around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

creativetype Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I've been there for pre-bowl game / Final Four events ... it's an outdoor area not too far from the AlamoDome. A number of bars/restaurants in the immediate vicinity. This is what I googled: "Lone Star Pavilion, an outdoor, covered stage and concert setup with a capacity for over 3,000 guests."

Saint Genevieve Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Are does really at 6p.m.? That seems so very early... Though if it means a long set then i am allright. Yup, the Sunset Station website says doors at 6:00, show at 8:00. I'm cool with that - it means I won't be having to drive home super late. Keep an eye out for the girl with the skull-and-crossbones bag... that'll be me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YourPopQuizKid Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 I'm planning on leaving Austin about 3:30. It's usually less than an hour and a half drive, but I'm scared of Friday traffic. :X (And Hoodoo Voodoo is terrific live!) I'm Exciiiited!!!! (but can't tell you guys what I'll be wearing yet--that's two days away!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
via_sanantonio Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I'll be wearing a buttoned down long sleeve black shirt, its supposed to be a little cold tomorrow. Look for a 5'6 teenager with glasses and curly ass hair. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
