Stir Concert Cove

Going to see AJR tonight at Stir.

I haven't been for a couple of years.. We bought standing room only tickets...

Would like some suggestions as to where I should meet my friend beforehand so we can drive over together - is there anything around there at all that's decent? Maybe the casino?

I am assuming that mosquitoes and bugs are going to be present and annoying - or do they spray at Stir?

Last time I was there we brought chairs and blankets but I don't know if that's still a possibility if we are in the standing room only/general admission area?

Any other helpful suggestions are appreciated!
