Amy Rocker Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 It's 1:30 and from the looks of it, there are still general admission tickets available...how did that happen?! My dad and I were posted in front of the computer at 9:30 hitting the "Refresh" button repeatedly and getting nervous because my dad's old bones may be too slow to claim them in time! Also, I may have a spare general admission ticket later because I'd rather go to this alone. Were there many cops around the House of Blues on the 26th?

Gene Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 There was a lot of security. It depends on why you're asking. You'll be safe. You will not be safe to drink underage. (Bernie, you'd expect that answer from me, huh?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerPopJames Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Security was tight, both inside and out. Everyone gets "wanded" as you enter the concert hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Rocker Posted December 4, 2004 Author Share Posted December 4, 2004 Definitely no drinking from me! I'm just asking because my parents are a bit uneasy about me "walking the streets of Cleveland" alone at one in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadfingerBarb Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I would be uneasy too. Why don't you partner up with some others going to the show. It's never a good idea for a lady to travel alone at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaD Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 definitely DO NOT walk the streets alone at night, we walked to and from the HOB (stayed at the Renaissance), and it was scary at 1 AM, and my husband was with me, if I was alone I think I've had taken a taxi. Police are in the city, sure, but what are the chances they'll be in the right place at the right time if you need them? There were a lot of beggars around, even at 1 AM, there were people staggering around intoxicated, and from what I saw, I'm guessing the police there don't give this sort of thing top priority. I would absolutely not walk around alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 The area seemed safe to me... but I am 6-1 and don't look like an inviting target... but in any city I wouldn't go off the beaten path. Partnering up is a good idea. Crime Prevention is a lot better than trying to figure your way out of a bad situation.It may be a little worse with New Years and a number of intoxicated people out. Whether you're staying nearby or parking miles away... have some people walk with you.As far as the club... at the last concert people were there to watch the show. Yes, there is alcohol. But people are there for a show. I have no doubt if anyone is a problem they'll get the boot. At the Raspberries show it is a pretty safe crowd. There could be worse places for a 17 year old to be.

marvin Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Ask Darlene or Larry about the person who was enjoying himself a bit too much, sitting next to them.Marvin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I would be even more worried about driving after the show than walking to a nearby hotel. There will be many drunken crazies out after midnight. My advice is to walk in groups and not to drive at all (the only Drivin Around should be on stage!).

Danny S. Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 we stayed at the Renaissance also, and the doorson the square were LOCKED after the show. There werealot of pan-handlers out, and no police in sight. we had to walk around the corner to the Superior side to get in. I would not suggest walking alone.I was approached twice for money, and Im a rather large man. Just some friendly advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
