New York City, USA Hammerstein Ballroom - May 12, 2006 + general info

[pilferk]

for that price your better off parking anywhere in brooklyn for free and take a subway which run 24/7

Not to mention they close the lot at 1:00 AM and don't reopen til 6 AM.

THAT will be a problem, right there.

Thursday- Culture Club (Awesome looking place that is 80's/90's themed and is $10.00 to get in.)

Culture Club is cool...but beware the bachelorette parties! This place is NOTORIOUS for being jam packed with several bachelorette parties going on ALL AT ONCE! My wife and another couple walked in there once and I swear me and the guy we were with were perhaps the only guys there (especially on the first floor). I know what you're thinking...doesn't sound so bad, right? LOL...I literally almost had my boxer shorts ripped off of my body IN FRONT OF MY WIFE by one of these parties. Those broads can get viscious?

Where is this place? and how come i've never heard of it?

If I remember correctly I think it's on Broadway down near Christopher St. I could be wrong though...been a few years.

Ugh.  So nobody knows of a 24/7 lot around there?  I'd imagine Axl will not be done at a reasonable hour.

They exist...you just have to "search".  Hopefully someone from the city can point you to a few near by.

Again, the issue is those lots can fill up, quick..and there is no promise you'll actually get into one.

The alternative is park in the 'burbs and take a train in.? Might be easier and..heck..cheaper too.

I'm not worried so much about cheaper - but driving back to DC after the show - want to be sure I can get out!  I should be getting in around 1:30-2:00 - maybe I'll have better luck then.  Anyway, any suggestions are welcome!

Yes, that is where it is...... and yes, the plans I listed were for after the gnr shows, and on the days no gnr shows exists. I'll be at every pre-party at Mustang Harrys!!!!!!

another option is parking in Brooklyn for free and sharing a cab

There is an awesome article in New York's Village Voice about the upcoming NYC concerts/album. Here is the link:

http://www.villagevoice.com/music/0619,shah,73131,22.html

The author's (Neil Shah) best line is: So who cares if he breaks our hearts again? Axl Rose is still a rerun worth watching. Whether rock deity, psychological case study, or reality show?worthy disaster, he nonetheless gives his audience what it craves most: authenticity.
