    Why would they open the lots at 2:30 if you can't tailgate? Do they honestly think we're just going to sit in our cars for four hours until the doors open?

    I'll be pissed if they make us dump our beer because I know there were people drinking in the VIP lot at REM and no one was bothering them. I already bought our parking pass too so it's not like we have the option of parking in one of the private lots. Well we do but I'm not losing out on the $40 I already paid.

    I shit and I stink. I'm real, join the club.

    A friend, he called, I didn't mention a thing. The last thing he said was, "Be sound". Sound. I contemplated an awful thing, I hate to admit. I just thought those would be such appropriate last words. But I'm still here.

    I went to DMB at Tweeter the past two nights and here's what I did:

    I went in the free lots on Tuesday and my brother and I drank in the truck while the golf carts drove by. Put on tunes and chilled until it got better.

    Last night my buddy and I went and paid the 30 bucks and parked in the first private lot after the highway on the right. No problems and they may open earlier than the main lots. Got out of there easily. I had to leave Night 1 at the encore in order to get the hell out of there otherwise you're there until 1am.

    Also went to DMB on tuesday (ending my 3 year boycott of Great Woods) and here's what happened to me and my cousin.

    We got there at about 6:45 and had gotten sandwiches, we are eating them and i had just poured a beer and the Cop and yellow shirt brigade came by with the cop saying to us, it would be great if you could start heading in. Now we were waiting for a few other people so we just ate and finished.

    right after the cop said that too us we look over and he's emptying someone's cooler into the back of the golf cart and my cousin and i look at each other and slowly close the trunk of her car. The guy who lost the beer shows up and says WTF and the cop says you left a cooler by itself and this is what happens. (this i can understand, but the cop didnt seem to even warn the guy or look for him)

    After they passed thru and headed towards the rest of the lots it was like normal. On their next pass thru as we are getting ready to go in we were pouring one last drink for the walk, my cousin put her drink on the ground as she was getting something out of the back and one of the Yellow Shirt Guys kicked her drink over onto the ground!!!! So she poured another and we headed in. As we headed in there was probably 6 or 7 yellow shirt people detaining a group of kids who were underage (so beware for those that are) they didn't seem to be drinking at the time but it was obvious they had been.

    Long story short, they are definitely cracking down in the parking lot, I'm trying the VIP parking (more for getting out of that place) for the PJ shows otherwise I'll be in one of those lots outside the venue from here on in.

    Another tip is it's cheaper and easier to pay the $30 outside the venue cause you will leave quicker. The $40 VIP lots let you out, but there is a wait...it's not immediate that you leave there from what I've heard.

    in my 3 yr Great Woods boycott i wasn't sure what the lot policy was or what the cost of the non Great Woods lots would be so i just spent the $40 but i completely agree with you now that i had been there again. I really wish PJ was playing the fleetcenter (i still can't call it the garden).

    despite getting booted once for nonsense, I have tailgated there many times and had a great time walking around with a cup etc. Just be very very cautious and i'd reccomend drinking with a group so you don't get singled out.

    But yeah, you will see plenty of tailgating.
