Yeah, traffic isn't generally an issue there, except the last time at FreeFest when they wouldn't let you in the Columbia mall lot.

Is this going to be SOP from now on?

yeah, i was scarred by the last freefest. before that i've had good luck getting in and out of MPP, but the last freefest has me worried that we'll be snaking around MPP until we get to lots on the far side of hell.

well my friend who went said he'd post but i'm not seeing it so i'll summarize:

1. the food was unbelievably good..he was very psyched about that
2. the VIP tickets were a bit of a con because they were basically orchestra pit and because i guess the pit was oversold or something if the pit was full when you came back in then you were told to go to one of the loges or something

Coming from DC on 29, you skip the first exit on 29 for MPP (Broken Land Parkway), flip a bitch and take the South Entrance Road exit. Pull right into the Howard County Library lot or head into the MPP lot if you so desire.

You can also go to that exit and get over to the left and go straight through the lights and it will take you to the mall parking lot.

… which is great *if* they're letting you park at the mall.

They had rent-a-cops at all the mall entrances "profiling" for mall shoppers vs. concert goers. We ended up parking in a big garage over by the bank (I think?). Not that big a deal, but it really snarled traffic around there.
