Jacksonville, FL - Veterans Mem. Arena - 10/25/14 - ARCHIVE
-
JAX fans wish Paul a Happy Birthday! We wish we were seeing you this weekend, but now we have October to look forward to.
-
Well, I just got my tix to see Ringo on Oct. 21 in Fort Lauderdale. I had been going back and forth about getting tix to see Paul in Jacksonville, but June 22 just wasn't an ideal date (my wife just had a baby and she wasn't keen on me taking a 5-hour road trip to Jacksonville on a Sunday night - not the best timing and as much as I pushed, it just wasn't going to happen). October 25, on the other hand, is another story. Might need to make it a Beatles week!
-
Looks like I may have 2 concerts in a week if I can get tickets to the Greensboro, NC show announced today! Hotel is booked, friends ready to go! PAUL AND FALL = FABULOUS!!!
-
Sounds like a plan!
-
Unexpectedly just got an invite to the Jacksonville show in October! ROAD TRIP Should be awesome!!
-
#MaccaJax is alive and well! Sad for the postponement, but now looking forward to October. Thinking about getting tickets to the JAX Ringo show beforehand to just make October full of Beatlemania!
-
Is anyone driving up from South Florida (Fort Lauderdale/Miami/Boca, etc.)?
-
Ok - I went ahead and pulled the trigger on tickets to Jacksonville. Couldn't pass it up. Can't wait!

Social media buffs, want to use a hashtag to talk about/share pictures of the concert? How about #MaccaJax? No one is using it on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
#MaccaJax it is Anyone planning on meeting up before the show? I am heading up in the morning with my step dad - not sure where we are staying yet. Anyone know what the tailgating situation looks like or local bar scene?
-
I'm about 1.5 hours away from JAX, but workaholic that I am, I haven't spent much time there!
-
Gotta bring this back to Page 1. Come on, Florida! Let's get excited - just 3 months or so to go!!
-
Oh yeah! All right! Oh Paul's gonna be in my dreams that night!

Seeing the photos of Paul at his recent concerts has got me saying, 'Hurry October!" It'll be here before we know it. I'm making a weeklong vacation out of this. Fly to FL on 10/24 to stay with an old friend and go to the concert with him; going to the Wizarding World of HP (can't wait to visit the new section!) and tour St. Augustine; fly back to Baltimore on 10/28; drive to southern VA the next day, spend the night and head with my friend there to Greensboro for the concert. Next day driving an hour up to Mt. Air, NC to see all the Andy Griffith stuff and then back to southern VA for a few days and back to work on Monday. Paul twice in less than a week and pretty good seats...blessed!

Where in Maryland are you? I just relocated to Florida from Maryland last fall. Jacksonville will be my first Macca show outside DC - can't wait!

Welcome to the Sunshine State (well, last year). I moved here in 2005.

Welcome to the Sunshine State (well, last year). I moved here in 2005.
Thanks - moved to Plantation (just outside Fort Lauderdale) November 1. Started snowing in Md/DC almost the day we left and it kept snowing til April it feels like! I picked a good time of year to do it.

My Grandma lives in Pompano Beach, so I have a general idea of where you are located. Glad you escaped the snow. I'm from northern Ohio and I hope I never have to drive in the stuff again.

LiveForever, I just saw your post. I'm in Harford County. My daughter's family lived in Pembroke Pines for a about 15 months and I loved it. They transferred to Atlanta and I'll be moving there next year. Enjoy Florida; such a great place. Make sure you get out to Hollywood Beach sometime if you haven't. Nice beach and Broadwalk (not boardwalk). Hope to see you at the show! As you can see, I travel for Paul!!!

Yes, we are about 15 minutes from Pembroke Pines! We have ventured into Hollyw0od Beach a few times...funny you point out the distinction between Broadwalk and Boardwalk - I made that mistake for months living down here. Someone finally corrected me and I didn't believe them at first. I am used to the OCMD Boardwalk I guess As far as the show, definitely looking to meet up with some boardies beforehand. I am driving up in the a.m. from here with my stepfather. Not sure where we are staying yet. but we are up for any kind of tailgate/pre-party, etc.

I'm doing the sound check - not sure when my check-in time will be. Is anyone else here doing it?
