Official 930 Club The Cure at Merriweather 6-22 Thread

I would be willing to step in with my sizable gravitas and prestige and moderate a beerscotch summit between Hutch and Killsaly at some future time and location and see if we can end racismbury the hatchet on this grudge.

Actually, i take back my advice, i thought this Cure shindig was tonight… Cause it's stormin' like a sumabitch in MD.

That does not interest me at all, but thanks for the offer.

If I changed it to a Cognac summit or a champagne brunch, would that move the needle on your interest at all?

Merriweather has a curfew of 11pm at all times.

Since this is sold out, here's how to avoid the traffic…

Take 29 to 32 towards Clarksville.
Exit at the Sanner Road/Cedar Lane exit.
Take a right onto Cedar Lane
Follow Cedar Lane to Little Patuxent Parkway and take a Right. This will take you straight to Merriweather/the mall.

Option B:
From Cedar Lane, take a right onto Hickory Ridge Road.
Take a left onto Brokenland Parkway at the light
Take a right onto little patuxent parkway (you will be right there)

If you're coming from the North, you can do this as well. Just drive past the merriweather exit and the brokenland parkway exit.

The traffic was a mess last week for that other sold out concert of that band I've never heard of.

Thank you for this. I am absolutely terrified about this drive because I'm basically starting at Capitol Hill and will have to drive all the way north through the city (I'm assuming via Georgia Ave/Hwy 29). I'm hoping if I leave by 5:00 I'll be there by 7:00. Is this just completely stupid to assume?

I probably won't leave until 6/7 hoping to get there by 8ish. Waze, please bless me.

wow.. its happening… I can't believe it but I'm finally going to see Robert Smith (The Cure)… from the pit..


:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Pitting as well.

has anyone done the FWB VIP thing at Merriweather this year? It appears to have changed..

"VIP is located to the side and back of the pavilion-it?s a great place to hang, grab a drink with little to no line or take advantage of the special VIP restrooms.  Our team at the 9:30 tent can help direct to you the new entrance (from last year)"

So, no longer near the Pit… ???

yeah… i need deets on this too please….

I've yet to use my FWB stuff with Merriweather. So I have a question - I have a co-worker who is going to the show with me. We got lawn seats. Plan on leaving Frostburg by 1:30 pm, which means we'll probably be at Merriweather like 4 or 4:30 pm. I'm so bringing my FWB card with me because I've always wanted to do the gate crashes vip pre party thing. I figure maybe I can get good dibs on a spot in lawn. Here's the thing, can I bring my co-worker with me into the pre-party? Or does he need his own FWB card? which for my coworker is kinda stupid because he's never been to the club before and this is his first time going to merriweather. He doesn't get out of town much, hence why I was like "Hey! Want to go with me to see the cure?" lol

Any info and tips would be appreciated. I don't want to be some jerk and ditch my friend for some VIP party.

One more thing - I noticed in the faq's for Merriweather it says personal food items in clear, disposable, non-glass containers are permitted. So does this mean I pack some snacks and stuff in ziplock bags or even bring in food in clear plastic containers from my favorite co-op?

The email says you can bring a plus-one, so you should be able to take your friend into the VIP thing.

I'm interested in the VIP area bathrooms if there are any.. where is that in relation to the pit?

I don't know what that means. Some shows you can drink at your DAR seats and some shows you can't. WHAT ARE YOU SAYING

Drink all you want!

All right cool. I wondered if it was like Wolf Trap where you can't bring your drinks back to your seat. This is good news.

And if you didn't know, DAR does allow seat drinks sometimes. I know they allowed it during Belle & Sebastian a couple years ago.
