Speaking of snow in the mountains, what should I expect with the weather in Sacramento?
Right now they are saying mid 70s and sunny. The rain will have moved through by then.

Thanks- it's so hard packing light in the in-between seasons! Pennywhistle, have a safe trip!

Hi out of Towners! 72 degrees on Tuesday for a high..50@ night for a low. Just got a good down pour here just south of Sac. We have big beautiful thunder clouds right now in a baby blue sky, the air is CLEAR all washed down for our visit from Paul. Northern California is looking very good today, hope he has a chance to see it. I see the new seat chart discussion.....I can't believe that it's true.....if it's right I have scored big. First time in years l'll be in front of Paul's microphone, now I am excited!! Question: Does anyone know how to get permission to be a little late to sound check if it becomes necessary. I just want an option just in case. 2 to go!

Can't be late, you will be in front of a closed side door with no one to let you in. Do whatever you can to be on time!

It is! Always have to dress in layers here even in the summer, especially since I work in S.F. where it can be about 20 degrees cooler than where I live.

Have a great time everyone!

Just caught the weather report for the Sierras. Right now their saying to expect 1 to 3 inches of snow on Sunday in Kirkwood. That moves off but a new low moves down the coast on Monday. All us to the west of Sacramento may get more showers on Monday. They didn't say which way it will go but the usual way is east toward the mountains effecting both 80 & 50 . So it's likely another 1 to 3 inches will fall Monday night. Good news is this time of year it rarely closes the roads. They are not saying to take chains yet. If you leave early in the morning go slow & watch for ice. On Donner Pass if you can get to the top you can coast in. That's what I did one year but I don't recommend it, terribly nerve racking. I'd rather take the bus. Good luck everyone drive defensively. The roads are going to be packed with snow bunnies.

3 more days for me. I get to read about all your experiences Tuesday before I go Wednesday.
Luckily no weather issues traveling for me...only 2 1/2 hours southwest of Sack-0-tomatoes. My BIGGEST fear is being in front of grumpy people since I am in the stands this time and they'll holler at me for standing/dancing. Happy trails everyone!

So I know nothing about the new arena, except that it was built for pro basketball. When I saw Paul at Barclay's in Brooklyn (also NBA) there was a section that was typically VIP for basketball but a free for all any other time. It was mid level, all the way to the back. Nice center views and standing ONLY. I had a cheap ticket and thoroughly enjoyed myself -- there was no one who could tell me to sit down
Small possibility but check it out, could be something similar at golden1!

Good Day Sacramento super fan...
why can't we embed videos here???? -
We woke up to a dusting of SNOW in Reno, so we headed out a day early when the mountain roads still looked DRY. The flakes followed us over the mountains for 3 hours, but we got to Calif. just fine and are 30 miles away from Sacramento. Who cares if we had to spend another $80 for a Motel tonight. We are in the suburbs and will head into Sacramento and have a nice day looking thru the old town tomorrow and won't have any worries about getting over the mts. tomorrow
My husband of 45 years KNEW he HAD to get me to the show, snow and rain or whatever!!!!! ha ha ha
-
Lets go Sacramento! Woop!
-
Any one here think Sacramento may have a surprise or two in the setlist as a lead in to the Desert shows next week?

I'm thinking maybe 1 or 2 changes. I haven't seen this tour yet so hoping the newer songs he added earlier this tour will stay.
