Advice on getting into town tomorrow for a gig

eviltimeban · 2011-03-16 18:11:11

So my band is playing a gig tomorrow, St Patrick's Day, in the Mercantile. Only thing is, its at half four in the afternoon and I've no idea how I'm going to get the car in and parked to bring my gear (three guitars) in. Anyone got any advice or know which way I can go to get close?

I would have advised to going in the night before and parking somewhere, presumably no ticket officers out on St Patrick's Day, so you'd have to leave the car (in a well lit area) overnight. As it stands I'd perhaps recommend a taxi, at least you don't have to worry about parking, maybe the venue will hold your gear for you until the morning of the 18th

It worked out OK in the end. I got to park on the quays opposite Messr Maguires (thanks to the Gard who let me past the barriers) and it was a walk up (twice, there and back) so it all worked out.
