Apparently for general admission, people line up like 12 hours in advance, so they can be at the front? I am not doing that.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I imagine that general admission is extra difficult in Cincinnati specifically.

Ah, the fucking Allstate Arena. Yes, general admission people line up super early in advance in a giant gray parking lot. I have done it. I cannot recommend it for an adult.

If mr. flea is picking you up, you may want to arrange to meet somewhere nearby the arena so it's easier for him to find you. IIRC, there's a Target across the street and a strip mall.

Ear plugs may be a good idea.

I think some concerts do it, but the venues are SUPER careful about it. Understandably.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

flea, I'd fork over for seats, if that's an option, otherwise you can alway just embrace the "there is good, wherever we are standing."

I think the lined trench with many layers should work okay. Do you have a warm scarf or a pashmina? Beanie?

Yes, packed the beanie in the coat pocket already, but you are reminding me that perhaps I should look for a beanie that serves in snow.

Yes to earplugs, too

My mother went to see The Beatles when they played Cincinnati Gardens in 1964. She was 14! (Note: I don't think she appears in this clip: [link] )

Re emus - remember, these are the birds that essentially won a war with the Australians. Maybe not intellectual, but smart about surviving.

Yeah. Turns out it's a lot harder to kill an emu with a machine gun than one might think.
