Again, IF IT HAPPENS....
I figured that I would start an 'info thread' to help answer people's questions.... since I have received many pm's about it already.

I'm not an expert by any means, but I will try to compile some info for travel, lodging, and what-not.
Feel free to add your own info or pm me any additional links and such to add to the original post.

Hope this helps! :D

http://www.harborshoreslg.com/ -only a quick 20+ min drive

I was thinking about house rentals. I have looked into a few, close to Lake Geneva which is a very touristy town with more to offer in the vicinity.

There is always anywhere around Milwaukee as well, but that is going to be a bit longer of a drive- especially after a looong day/night of rockin'- but much more options.


-Even if it is more money to fly into milwaukee, you will definately save the headache and 2+ hours getting in from Chicago... plus the rental car.

The venue is in the middle of nowhere, but there are plenty of hotels in the surrounding areas... And, when they say it is a 15-20 min. drive to somewhere, it will be just that. The only traffic that you will have to deal with around the venue is fellow concert-goers, not crazy city dwellers (besides all you east coasters, road trippin' it in ;) ).

    I have told someone else this, the venue is set in the country for the most part. A few miles isn't far, but you will be walking in the moonlight, in the country. It isn't like downtown anywhere, out of the city limits. Like farm country.... You may be dodging drunk idiots the whole way, but I am sure we could fine people to carpool with.

    So, Chicago is the closest "big" city?

    Is it possible to just park your car and sleep in it? To save on hotels etc?

    How far is Chicago from NY. Think I'm gonne fly to NY and then take a rental car to the festival...

    That is going to be about a 15+ hour drive from NY (my guess, anyways...). Fly into Chicago if nothing else, but Milwaukee is the closest airport- 30-45 mins away from the venue.

    Ok. 15 hours is a bit much I guess. Guess I will have to look at flying. Will look at it. Do you have any cheap airlines in the states like "ryan air" and others here in Europe which are dirt cheap?

    You're gonna need to program that GPS to another destination though. South of Alpine Valley for sure.

    I'll see you there.

    I would talk to Dimitris about this... if he's okay with that. I am not so familiar with international travel and finding cheap fares. But, I am certain you won't be the only one travelling over seas for this.
