Sorry, this isn't over yet. We were still talking about this at the "water cooler" at work today. And what's worse is that I got into the event with COMP TICKETS and I was still mad - now you know it has to be bad when you get in for free and you're upset. I'm glad I'm not an LBS person otherwise you would've seen the return of the Incredible Hulk from the hunger! Well, Ed Levine and crew, at least PF Changs in Sunnyvale thanks you because that is where we took our business. The person standing behind us in the Philly Cheesesteak line was quick to tell us exactly how to get there: 4 hours and $100+ later, we were FED some good Asian Fusion. The Bay Area deserved better; in such a great venue where Santana and John Mayer have performed to thousands of orderly crowds, fed and boozed 'til they could take no more, this event sadly fell terribly short of expectations. Then the final straw was to see Bobby Flay strolling past the long Cheesesteak line happy as a plum because he probably had a full stomach! Our only entertainment while we waited was the beer vendor saying his beer was "colder than a mother-in-law's kiss." I will not attend this event again, even if for free... waste of time, waste of gas, waste of a sunny Saturday. Shoreline: See you in July for COLDPLAY and some frickin' food and beer!
