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.
Not only would the shuttle be to the venue, but also back from the venue to Sweet Janes after the show
Underneath this smile lies everything
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
Alright, listen to this crock of shit...I just called the Dodge because I just shot my mouth off and said anyone could hang under the tent that I have. Anyway, I called over a month ago and asked about bringing a grill. I was transferred to a 203 area code number on the Jim Koplik/Dodge website and they said bringing a grill was fine. So I just called the Dodge again to ask about bringing a tent due to the rain, and here's the response I got:
"THERE"S NO TAILGATING AT THE DODGE"
WTF is that? I asked what time the parking lots open, and 'Nina' told me 3:30pm. Why the hell advertise that the lots open at 3:30pm and have the show start at 7pm and then turn around and say "THERE'S NO TAILGATING AT THE DODGE"??????
Can anyone explain this to me???? It seems the Dodge policies have just reverted back 10 years!!!!!!!!
'What went wrong...walking tightrope high...over moral ground...'
Maybe somebody else should call them and see what kind of response you get to this...860-548-7370.
Would anyone be interested in taking a shuttle bus to the venue and back after the show from Sweet Janes?
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.
Great idea... I think people would be willing to stay at the bar longer if they had a ride to the show. And for $5 I figure its worth it, probably cost that much to split a cab.

Social awareness does not equal political activism!
5/23/2011- An utter embarrassment... ticketing failures too many to list.
$5 gets you a wristband that gets you from the bar to the venue and from the venue back to the bar.
And FYI..Sweet Janes is 21 and over only...sorry guys...it's the best I could do
hmmm, we will get the transportation details once we get there right? i may decide to do this afterall. is it a bus that is taking us do you know? the owner of the bar must love you with all this business hes getting! woooooooooooooo! im so excited for tomorrow!

"We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"

Yup, it's a school bus taking us.
I'm so excited I can't sit still.
He's more excited for the Pearl Jam show. He keeps emailing me telling me what a great time it's going to be.

i think I might be sold on this... We will see, i asked my girlfriend and she seems cool with it. She has never been to PJ and I have just turned her onto the music... so I think she will appreciate the nice people who will turn out.

Pay lots may be a better option, and many are right across the street from what I remember and have read.
no buzz kills!!
it will all be glorious!!!
I will probably bail at some point after 4 to tailgate though

I am soooooooo pumped for the show,.
thanks..
The shuttle will make multiple trips so anyone who buys a wristband is guarenteed a ride to the venue and back to the bar after the show.
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
I'm so afraid I'm going to forget something.
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
Consider yourself HUGGED!
:-)
Uh, well I uh (ala Charlie Brown trying to talk to Peppermint Pattie)...
I got crossed in the threads and what I meant to say was thanks!
Ready to go finally, I think.
See you all soon!!!
all my hopes, anger, pride and shame...
sweet janes looks cool and we're headed back there at 3pm.
