    Would you all like to use Custom House before, and Junior's after, which stays open until 12:00. Can you perhaps PM each other though, and carpool or buddy up to make it over to Junior's so no one is riding the bus/subway alone?

    That sounds good to me. I'm good with whatever everyone else wants. Custom House was one of the ones I was also looking at. It looks like it's a nice place (and, if my Googling is correct, 285 ft. from the church). Thoughts?

    Custom House does close that evening around 10:15, so you may want Junior's for after. I'm not sure that I see anything close by that would be open late.....unless you just want to go to the Starbucks in the area. I would hope that if you DO go to Junior's after that you meet outside the church and travel by car/bus/subway together. Stay safe!

    I hope that you all have a GREAT time. I'll see a few in St. Louis where we're actually using Couchsurfing.com for the first time! We'll perhaps also be doing a touch of camping too on our way home to Dallas.

    That sounds good. The closer, the better. I would probably be able to squeeze one more person in the MINI, maybe.

    It’s a very short walk from there to the church and is nice. They have a back patio that I am sure we can take over. I talked to the bartender and asked about having 10 to 14 people meet up there and she said it would be no problem. She said once we know how many will be there to just call ahead and they would get set up for us.

    The place I am staying at is about a block away so I can check out the area and see if there is another after option. I think Junior’s is a good option and it’s only one subway stop away, but if I see anything else open late I’ll let everyone know.

    Yes. As mentioned, I'll be there Wednesday morning checking out several places that are very close to the library. I'll report on Wednesday, but Tavern on Main
    seems like a likely place.
    Meetup time would be 2:30-3:30PM.

    Thanks for checking that out! I'm all for walking distance. Less stress having to worry about times and traffic.

    That's what I gathered, too.

    So, for those of us who have chimed in, do we want to nail down a time or "window"?

    I'm keeping the first posts to this thread up to date with the info posted so that you can all easily see what the posted consensus is for each event. So if you're in doubt, just check the relevant post at the very beginning of this thread and you'll know what the plan is. I'll do my very best to watch things while I'm on the road too, I should be able to update at least once every day if necessary.

    By some crazy stroke of luck/fate, I snagged a single ticket earlier this week for St. Louis, so I'll be there next Sunday! I was hoping to get one for my mom as well, but no luck there. Anyhow, I'm planning to be there early afternoon to hang out in line, so hopefully I'll meet a few folks from here to chat with!

    Well, come meet up before the show at Trailhead Brewing Co, or after the show at Tubby's Pub & Grub (in post #7). I suggested around lunchtime at Trailhead, but haven't heard from any of the others about that time. Open to suggestions.

    I may do that; I was just checking out their menu (yum!) and how to get there. Lunchtime works for me if that's what is decided.

    Even though it's a week out, this will be my first time seeing Stephen live so I'm super excited!

    My wife and kids and I will be at the St. Louis event but I doubt we'll do any meetups before or after. Hopefully we'll meet some people in line in the afternoon.

    Sorry for being late but is there a plan to meet up after the event? If so, where and when? If I can find it I would like to stop by. But remember that I'm a lost Swede in New York :-)

    I'm not there, but I think that would be a good idea.
