    Tough break Speedy
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Just got you your fix.
    You fly in Chicago to Hartford nonstop Saturday AM, and return Sunday midday for $256 rountrip on United. One night in Hartford should cost you no more than $75, maybe you can crash with someone for free.
    No missed work.
    And you may hang with the likes of myself, Bostonlou and other Bostonians who will be driving down, a number of CT jammers and plenty of NY jammers who'll be coming up.
    Can't beat that with a stick.
    I hear ya...

    But again $256 roundtrip
    $170 for concert tickets
    $75 for hotel
    Food and beverage $200.....

    For just one show?????
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    I like Poncier's idea, but I understand that's still a lot of money for one show.

    You fly in solo, leave Kathy to feed the cat. You pay for one ticket, so its like $80-85, heck maybe even sit with someone like me or Josevolution so you get down front. You eat breakfast at home before Kathy happily drives you to the airport. Grab a $7 fast food luch when you land, pay about $20 for a decent pre show dinner, and eat free continental breakfast at the hotel before checking out. Your food is now $27 instead of $200, so you can throw another $20-30 for refreshmenst of your choice at the show and still be way ahead. Then you buy a cheap $5 misspelled "Harford Conneticut" T-shirts for Kathy to make her smile Sunday when she picks you up at the airport....its a foolproof plan.

    Similar timed flights from Dallas to Hartford are about $350, then you can share the cost of the hotel room with Speedy saving him another $40. ;)

    I was going to do that but I've already decided on KC and STL.

    Would be fun though. I actually love going to Boston. Hartford? Ummm.

    Boston is obviously the better destination, but Hartford being a Sauturday makes it better for folks to travel to. (I'm quite certain that the Hartford show is specifically scheduled for a Saturday to draw fans from Boston and NYC, in 2008 Hartford was a Friday and 2006 it was a Saturday, and they know they'll sell Boston and NYC tix for weekdays)

  • FlaggFlagg Posts: 5,856
    Yeah, I used to wonder why they scheduled Hartford but that makes perfect sense. I was at the 2008 show. Fantastic show. Shitty venue. Glad to see they aren't using it this time.

    That was a great show, but getting in and out of that place sucks balls, so I'm also glad they moved it to the Civic Center, haven't been to a show there since U2 on the Joshua Tree tour.

    I'll see them again someday...
    There will be more shows.....
    There will be more roadtrips......


    True. I'm in the same boat as mfc2006. Can't afford the travel and tickets. Don't have the PTO. Sadly taking a loss on this tour.

    what does that matter?

    if he quits... then he doesn't have a job and can't pay bills

    how do you propose he pays his bills?



    speedy I'll pay for your hotel room ... actually i won't but once you're here it will be too late ;)
  • certainly speedy's posts on the wm3 are idiotic.
