Thought this info, posted to the Dramarama/John Easdale list by Jon Vena of
WHTG-FM, might be of interest to some of you on the Connells list.

> For everyone planning on going to SURFSTOCK 5 tomorrow:
>
>  We're URGING that you all leave as early as possible. It's a legal
>  holiday for most of the area, so the beach traffic is going to be THICK.
>  In years past, it's taken more than an hour just to cross the bridge.
>  However, that usually doesn't happen until early afternoon. Doors open
>  tomorrow at 10:00 AM.
>
>   The stage is being placed at the north end of the beach this year so we
>  can fit as many people as possible onto the beach.
>
>  ***Due to the number of pre-show tickets sold through Ticketmaster and
>  general interest, phone calls, and the fact that our website received
>  close to 100,000 hits last week, we ARE expecting a sell-out.***
>
>  First band goes on at 11:55 AM. Easdale is headlining. If the show does
>  sell out, it probably won't be until about 2:00 PM. So PLEASE... arrive
>  early, be safe, and say hello if you happen to run into me. Hawaiian
>  shirt (blue), backwards hat, khaki shorts... I look like Rick Astley on
>  crack.
>
>  Thanks for the support, everyone. Tomorrow is for YOU.
