    They have bike "valet parking" this year...

    And, uh weather? Is there a rain date?
    Not that I haven't seen shows at the bandshell in the pouring rain, because I have.

    All shows are rain or show and they do NOT allow umbrellas.

    The Jumbotrons rocked!

    One of teh best shows EVER in the park, three encores. It was remarked that he looked so happy to be playing Brooklyn.

    I was on the fence about going and knew I'd regret it. I wish you had said the concert sucked! ;-)

    We had some zipcar errands to run last night (my only free night on Mon-Fri sadly right now) and holy crap, who are all the jackasses that decided to drive to it?? It was total chaos at the little garage where the car was and the usually nice attendant was piss and being a smartass to everyone.

    that was an AMAZING show!!! I'm curious how many people were there. Even outside the fences there was a ginormous crowd.

    And you're right, he did seem really happy.

    I'm guesstimating 15,000 - 20,000 people. I have never seen so many, not even for Bob Dylan.

    There were LOTS of people Zillions. I tried to get into the line, but I never did find the end of it, so I stood outside the fence for a while -- by the time the show started it was eight people deep along the road.

    There were enough people there that the cell towers were overloaded -- I kept receiving texts in big clumps, almost an hour after they were sent, and I had to try a dozen or so times to be able to make a phone call.

    That always happens... on sunny days on regular weekends in the park too.
