I have no problems with beer or gardens or beer gardens. I do have a problem with going all the way to Queens at 10:00pm from Manhattan, WHICH IS FULL OF BARS.

That's too long to wait for my beer.

Edit: Justin beat me to it.

Agreed. I love the Beer Garden. It is great. It's also going to be a total fucking mob scene on Friday.

It was hard to get a beer there when it was half full.

I can only think of Rudy's around there. The other reasonable place I used to go around there got sold and ruined.

Yeah, Rudy's.

McHale's is gone. I loved that place.

For an area of Manhattan that has at least one residential college, you'd think there would be more bars around there.

Don't know how the equipment issue will pan out, but it's a short hop on a train to get to a more bar-friendly part of town.

I was just looking at the weather and was wondering what happens if it's raining tomorrow?

Today at rehearsal they suggested people get to Damrosch Park early, in case of rain.

I PM'ed you, McGarvey.

Good luck tonight, everybody! Sounds like it'll be great!

They did a nice background piece on Chatham and this event on public radio this morning.
