Im having some people over to my house....anyone wanna help paint prior to the fights?
I just found this online:
In anticipation of the momentous match up between UFC® superstar and Team BSN athlete Forrest Griffin and Anderson “Spider” Silva at UFC® 101: DECLARATION on August 8 in Philadelphia, PA, BSN has produced a monument worthy of the occasion. Fans attending the event at the Wachovia Center next weekend definitely won’t be able to miss the 53-foot SYNTHA-6™ RTD semi-truck emblazoned with Forrest’s likeness parked out front! BSN has commissioned the truck as a symbol of support for Forrest, who faces arguably his toughest challenge yet in the Octagon®. The truck will be on display outside the arena at the Bud Block Party, allowing BSN to maintain an elevated presence throughout the proceedings while making our allegiance concerning the main event crystal clear!”
Not sure of the Bud Block party details in terms of time/date, but figured I would at least pass this on....

Excellent! Thanks for looking out for us Tracy!
Any pre-event parties?
How about a pre-event gathering of UG'ers at McFadden's or the like?
ttt for later
I'm down for meeting up with some UG'ers either Fri or Sat night. Let the pre and post parties commence.
On a side note (I don't want to derail this thread's true intent) but I figured maybe some of the Philly locals could recommend a place near Wachovia Center to get a Philly Cheesesteak?
I have never had the chance to enjoy true Philly cusine so I thought it might be cool to land a good sandwich before the fights!
TTT for any Philly locals who can steer me in the direction of a good steak and cheese sub!
I'm hearing Raw is the place to go on Friday night....who knows though.

Will any bars be open before / after the weigh-ins on Friday afternoon? Below is a link to the bars in the Wachovia Center... will they be open?

What's the bar scene like in that part of Philly? Wasn't tracking the bars inside the center, nice touch, but are there any great places, preferably bars not clubs, in that area?
Ugh, I'm from Baltimore.
There has the be some PA UGers that'll see this and can recommend some bars.

Im from Allentown, probably not a great list compared to what the people who live in Philly think, but there are some good places to go. Some are not just bars but good restaurants as well, any Philly UG'er know the best hot spots?
The Wachovia Center is in a shitty part of town from what i hear. Im gonna hang out near the hotel for the most part
