Here's info about the show.

The Gathering:
There will be a Phish.net gathering at the Nines in Collegetown, not far
from Bailey Hall.  I've talked to the people at the Nines, and they're going
to set up some tables for a big group.  They serve beer, delicious pizza, and
various sandwiches as well.  There is no easy parking in Collegetown, so
look around until you find a space.  Don't park illegally because you will
be ticketed.
Directions and a map will follow.


I've talked with the Production director for the show and I'll pass on 
important info.


Before the show:

There will not be much of a parking lot scene before the show.  There
just isn't much of a parking lot in front of Bailey Hall, so people will
be parked all over campus.  Tailgating is fine before the show, but there
is probably some sort of open container law on campus for alcohol.  
Just go to the gathering, it'll be better.

If you don't have tickets to the show, do not expect any scalpers at the
doors.  The great majority of the tickets were sold to Cornell students,
and there was a limit of 2 tickets per person.

Please have respect for University property.  The University allows these
shows to come to Cornell, but they do not have to, and if there are any
problems, they will not in the future.


The Show:

The show will start at 8pm.  The doors will open around 7 pm.  
(The ticket office may be opened a bit earlier than that for those of 
you who need to pick up your tickets.  Bailey Hall is a Proscenium
theater.  The acoustics are generally criticized, but they aren't bad.  The
Indigo Girls listed it as the best acoustics of any College venue they've
played about a year ago (I wouldn't go that far).

The people working the show are Cornell Concert Commission volunteers.  Be
nice to them.  They'll be nice to you.  There are also Campus Public Safety
officers (Police) there.  At a lot of concerts I've been to lately, people 
show animosity towards police at the first sight of them.  Give them the 
benefit of the doubt.  Most of those I've talked with are quite friendly.
Don't bother them and they won't bother you.

IMPORTANT:  Bailey Hall is an old building.  All the seats are wood, and
not took durable.  DO NOT STAND ON YOUR SEATS.  They may break, or an
entire row of chairs might be pulled over (I saw this happen once, but not
at a concert).  If you stand on a chair you risk injuring yourself or
someone near you if it collapses.

There is NO SMOKING inside Bailey Hall.  New York State law prohibits 
smoking in state owned public buildings.  While Bailey Hall is run
by Cornell, it is owned by the state of New York.  The concert commission
opens a patio on the side of the building for smokers during intermission.
If people can be spared they will try to have it open for more than just
the intermission.

Of course, Alcohol, bottles, etc. will not be permitted in the show.

For Tapers.
There will be a specific door for you to enter the show with your equipment.
If you set up your equipment at a seat which is not your own, and the
ticketholder for that seat asks for the seat, the Concert Commission will
ask for you to move.  You are welcome to trade tickets to get better taping
seats.
As John Greene has stated, there will be no soundboard hookups.


I'll see you there.
