2 PARTY BUSES FROM DOWNTOWN MILWAUKEE TO ALPINE FOR SUNDAY!!

daneski70

Hello All,

My name is Peter and I'm local here in Milwaukee. I have 10 people that are going to the Sunday show at Alpine and we are thinking about renting a party bus to get there. I wanted to check with you guys and gals to see if anybody would be interested in joining us! This monster holds 50 people, has a 1500 watt stereo system with outdoor tower speakers for our tailgate party ,upper party deck(see pic below), and even a stripper pole! Here are a few pics of the bus with a link to additional photo's, it's AWESOME!

it's the bus at the bottom of the page called "Cool Bus". I spoke with the owner of the bus today his name is "Party Bus Donny" and he says the bus holds up to 50 people but to keep it comfortable and with all the coolers and gear people will be bringing for this all day event, Donny suggested we keep the number to no more than 40 people. With 40 people going, the price per person is $30 a piece. It's actually going to be $35 a piece with the BS $100 bus Alpine charges!

The bus would be leaving from the corner of Water Street and Juneau Ave in Downtown Milwaukee on Sunday the 4th between 9:00 and 10:00 in the morning or earlier.This is a great pick up and drop off location for any of you that are staying in downtown Milwaukee hotels. There's a Pick and Save Metro Market just 3 blocks away to load up on any food and drink you want to bring!

If there is enough interest, I will contact "Party Bus Donny" and put a deposit down to hold the bus for that Sunday. Like I mentioned above, I have ten people that are going, so there are 30 seats available. If your interested or have any questions, please let me know. I can also be reached via email at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:pdane70@yahoo.com">pdane70@yahoo.com</a><!-- e -->

party bus update. I have officially reserved the bus for the Sunday show!

daneski70

4 more seats have been reserved. 26 seats still available!

HoosierJam

me and 3 others are staying in brookefield area but would maybe be willing to get in on this so we would have one night not having to keep a DD. It would be a stretch to ask you to stop and pick us up on the way, so would there be somewhere near the pick up spot that we could park for the day? I had checked out the bus a couple months ago thinking i could get a group together like this, but didnt get enough response to even start looking into it. so if theres a way for us to park near the pick up, we'd probably be interested. unless you wanna pick us up on the way! hahaha!

daneski70

I actually chose this pick up location because there's a parking lot right on this corner that probably holds 1500 cars and is right off the highway. The lot is really only used on weekend nights because of the location to all the downtown bars. The lot is 99% empty on Sunday mornings with only a handful of cars that had been left there from people who had way to much to drink on Saturday night and did not drive.

On a Sunday morning, you guys are looking at a 15 to 20 minute ride max right to the parking lot. If you have any further questions, let me know.

Update

There has been some interest in the party bus. There are a total of 16 seats that have been reserved so far leaving 24 seats still available. In order to keep the cost to $30 per person, we need to get 40 people on board. I put a reserve/hold on the bus until August 5th. If we don't get to 40 people, the reservation will be gone!

If you do want to climb aboard, please let me know before August 5th. We already have one group that has said they will bring the beer pong table!

any questions, let me know

HoosierJam

That "dance pole" is worthless without strippers and a camera.

daneski70

I think once that bus is parked and the drinks start flowing and the music starts playing it won't take long at all for people to get dancing on that Pole!

ChiTownTim

maybe i missed it but do you have details such as how long it takes to get to get from Milwaukee to Alpine and what it departs from Alpine to Milwaukee?

daneski70

Hi Tim,

we are looking at leaving Sunday morning between 9 and 10. I heard the the gates open between 10 and 11 with the first band going on at noon. Milwaukee to Alpine is about 44 miles and takes about 50 minutes to an hour to get there. If you've never been to Alpine, leaving is a whole different thing. It usually takes a good hour to get out of the parking lot. Most people will head back to there vehicles and chill with a beer or light there grill up again and wait for most of the traffic to move out.

I would say we will be out of the parking lot between 12:30 and 1:00 and arriving back in Milwaukee between 1:30 and 2:00. Hopefully with enough time to make last call on Waterstreet!

Does anybody know exactly what time the parking lot opens?

daneski70

Hello All!

I've had several email discussions regarding payment method for the bus. It seems the general consensus is to set up a Paypal account for payment. I did set up a Paypal account today to make it easy for all that are going to pay in advance. For those that have a Paypal account you know how it works. Once your logged in, search for <!-- e --><a href="mailto:pdane70@yahoo.com">pdane70@yahoo.com</a><!-- e -->. For those of you that do not have a Paypal account, PM me with your email address and I will send you the link with instructions as well as my cell phone number if you have any questions.

Once you have made your $30 payment please email me what number or who you are on the list and how many people you paid for so I can put the word "paid" next to your name on the list. Like I said before, if anybody has any questions, please let me know.

Drowned Out

Between 9 and 10?? ....
Do we need to be there right when the gates open? Could be a rough morning! I guess there's no way to make 40 people happy with the times....I honestly don't care either way.
This is going to be such a blast
