Long Beach’s waterfront amphitheater opens this Saturday, and I will be in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once Snoop Dogg was announced for the inaugural concert, my girlfriend and I hemmed and hawed, but eventually pulled the trigger at just over $100 each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live near the edge of downtown, so the plan is to bike down near the convention center, then hop on the free shuttle over or grab a $5 round-trip ticket for the water taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City officials are hoping the first show goes off without a hitch. For more on the transportation plan, read here.<\/a> I’ll be back to let you know how it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
