I was at Coventry and got very lucky and missed or avoided the major traffic jam. We were at the Camden show Thursday night 8/12 and Trey told the crowd to wait and not leave after the show because of how bad the "jam" already was up there. So we waited and left Friday morning but we had other friends that left right after the show and were giving us traffic updates. We bought a map and took the back roads and we were parked in the venue by Friday night. It is a 8-9 hour drive from Philly and add in the parking issues to get in because of mud it took us only about 12 hours total and no walking. Again got very lucky with "a little help from our friends" and map. As for the shows there was no way for them not to be a "weird,strange,bad" experience when it was "the end" of something that we did not want to end.
