rain will not deter me - couldn't care less. we will all be covered at the show, cooler temps means being more comfortable - not all hot and sweaty, and i still plan on walking over from the bar....1.4 miles is nothing, even with some rain - that's what umbrellas are for. worse case scenario - grab a cab - don't care! gonna be a BLAST!
Are you going to have the Touring Van DVD for sale there in Hartford... Their website says it'll be at the CCFA pre show parties... Just want to confirm b/c they also say the last day for on-line sales of the hard copy DVD w/ the artwork is 5/14 and I'd rather buy it in hand than on-line by mail...
Thanks

Crap.
I knew I forgot to update something.
I couldn't get one to me in time for Hartford (I started planning this event with 24 days until the show!!) and I just keep forgetting to edit the first post.
Wait, I just checked it, I knew I wasn't crazy. I did update it.
Underneath this smile lies everything
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
I'm driving an SUV and will be heading over to the Dodge around 4pm from the bar and would certainly be willing to take anyone I could fit, or anyone that buys me a beer! I'm also bringing a big tent and grill for the CT Expo Lot and anyone can huddle there and hang.
That said, I think given the current weather situation and the # of people going to Sweet Jane's, I would ABSOLUTELY take the SJ owner up on this offer and get the shuttle for anyone who wants it. And for $5??? I would bet that around 5:30pm, after everyone has been drinking for a while, that not many people would want to walk a mile and a half in the rain dodging traffic. And especially since the owner seems to be into the whole scene. Sounds like a great idea.

I think they serve regular pub fare...could be a liquid dinner anyway.
I"m leaving my wife at home who's 8 months pregnant home with 2 kids. She passed on the last 4 shows I went to, so why bother now!!!

Let's just breathe...
I am myself like you somehow
Yeah Yeah Yeah, I know, beer is the priority.
But I have a large group to worry about, I know people will get hungry! Pub fare is fine.
Looks like you and I will be at the same shows.....it will be a blast!
Someone give me a chill pill...I'm nervous.

maybe if we all drink like fish the place will worry about the liability and start to give us free food?
any idea if there are drink specials?????
there are some specials...
show your fun bags... someone will buy you a drink
same with groping...free drinks
The drink special they told me was from 4-7 $2 Coors Light Drafts.
With it being so close I didn't wanna push it with the drink specials in case they didn't like that idea and shut us down.
The owner is VERY excited about having us there and about the PJ show and he assured me there is PLENTY of PJ to play in the jukebox
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
Today? In CT it is raining cats and dogs!
We need to sell some official CCFA ponchos for the unlucky lawn folks...
could be a nice money maker!
Happy hour, groping, free drinks, fun bags, Pearl Jam, Hartford...what more could we ask for!?!
Last time I was at Sweet Jane's they were playing PJ. Automatically liked that place! I never made it past the bar though.
no idea... i've got a woodrow right now just thinking about it
who's coming to the sheraton pool at noon tomorrow?? it's the pregame soak with bostonlou!
edit
no bitching...
i'll splurge for the good stuff
Good Lord! Is that a buoy in the pool or are you floating on your back?????
is that a comment about my belly or my manhood?
hmmmm
yeah...what he said!!!
coors light yuckkkk!
The owner emailed me and asked me to see if enough interest was in it. He said it'd be $5 a person to shuttle over to the venue.
Anyone? Hurry, I need to get back to him.
