At the Washington Nationals Park -- and they are calling for rain! I can't believe it!!!!! Oy vay. Aye carumba.
-
Have fun everyone & hope you all get to stay dry!
-
It's been raining non stop! Let's hope it clears out by 8pm tonight. This has been pretty heavy rain too.
-
So I still have to get the tickets from Will Call and I want to knock that out with soundcheck. What time should I get there to do both? 5:30 ish?
-
Good luck to all tonight that we remain dry but be prepared if rain does hit. Nationals website says we can take in collapisble umbrellas not exeeding 16 x 16 16 x 8 when closed. In the midst of travelling so no back on here till sometime well after the show. HAVE FUN AT THE ....ROCKSHOW TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm surprised they will let umbrellas in. Really hope my view on main floor doesn't get blocked from umbrellas in front of me!

I would get there 4:30 to go to willcall and see Paul arrive. 5:30 is a tad late for soundcheck unless he is really late getting into town because of the weather. You could always go to will call during soundcheck.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! This will be my last post; leaving work at 230 to head to DC. Safe travels and stay dry. I think the rain will end later in the afternoon. (humming Here Comes the Sun)...
-
WOOOO!!!! We've made it to the day! And what's that?....it's RAINING. Well of course it is! Just keep up with our anti-rain song (as tiggy said- Here Comes The Sun!) and all will be fine!
-
We are staying close to the stadium so since it's not raining we took a walk over, we saw Brian Riddle, who waved hello and MJ Kim who was just getting off a bus entering the stadium.
-
Very cool!!!
-
I used to live in the DC area. I'll be there in spirit. I know you'll have a great time.
-
And awaaaaay we go! WE're leaving for the greenbelt metro station now...plan is to be at the pre-show party around 4:30...might go somewhere else for a bite before the show if the rain carries on. Maccaboard- I'll see ya next time....... Paul McCartney Adventure #6: Preparing for take off.
-
I'm outside the stadium. There are some good vantage points for soundcheck if they don't close the sidewalk.
-
Going to be leaving the hotel soon!!! Can't wait!!!

There's a bit of a controversy emerging about tonight's show. This group of DC at-risk kids called "Guitars Not Guns" is claiming that they were supposed to play before Paul's show tonight but that "McCartney's camp pulled the plug for security reasons." There are some people on Twitter calling Paul "heartless" because these are at-risk minority kids who play guitars and have been practicing for this opportunity. And Paul's camp didn't explain what they meant by "security risks." I think the obvious reason McCartney's team pulled the plug is probably because of the possible rain/thunderstorms. You can't really have kids on a stage with a bunch of electrical equipment in those conditions, can you? But it's definitely getting him some really negative buzz on Twitter and in a couple of short stories. The parents claim they had to buy their own tickets to see the show and now their kids aren't even performing. So they probably are lobbying to get their money back. It's not clear what really happened here. But there are some disappointed kids and families. Not a very good way to start things off. Someone on Paul's team dropped the ball here.
