    Finally got this worked out - it wasn't easy! Sorry to the people who already made other arrangements.


    SHUTTLE SERVICE
    Debbie with Foxfield Taxi is providing us with a 15 person shuttle and taxi service for the evening. The cost will be $10 per person + $2 fuel charge for a total of $12.00 per person each way. You will need to pay the driver $12 cash when you board. The shuttle will begin bringing people to the Tweeter at 5:00 pm until everyone has made it over. The shuttle will also RETURN to Picadilly for post-game wrap up drinkfest :D Since the shuttle can not re-enter the venue after the show, we will meet outside the venue. Exit the main drive way, turn right and across from Cumberland Farms there is a Little Italian Kitchen. Meet out front!

    Who: Debbie @ Foxfield Taxi
    Contact: 508-339-2828 or 800-585-8294
    Cost: $12.00/pp each way
    Going: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (approx.)
    Return: 11:30 PM - 12:30 AM (approx.)

    Return Shuttle: Exit venue out from main driveway, turn right. Across from Cumberland Farms (on right) there will be Little Italian Kitchen. Meet there.

    very cool on the shuttle for those who will utilize! :) i don't feel so bad now with the VIP parking. sure, it does limit my drinking, but really, that's a-ok. at 12 bucks each way...so 24 roundtrip, and only 15 at a time....i think i prefer my own driving in any case. b/c for me and one passenger, splitting the VIP parking $42......whereas shuttle is $48 roundtrip for 2. sure, no driving, gas, etc.....but yea......it all works out in the end!


    still most definitely look forward to the pre-party, my last of the tour! the beacon is different. ;) haha.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Yes.. but $48 is still cheaper than a DUI.

    Yah, us Bostonians are so damn realistic...


    Thing is...Foxy Mop seems to be the exception to the rule. Nice job, FM.
    Having tasted, a life wasted....

    ....I'll probably only go back a couple more times.

    absolutely! :)
    thus why i won't drink and drive.
    also, i am a bit concerned with 15 at a time, i want to be sure to get a poster...so yea.....it all works out OK for me. i already bought the parking permit before talk of a shuttle, so i was disappointed...but now, it's a-ok...and one more space for someone else to use the shuttle!


    i'll probably be at the pre-party early...so can have one drink and then stop.....head to the venue early, maybe tailgate?...then into the venue for my poster...it's all good!
    Stay with me...

    Hey guys, I leave for the airport in about 20 minutes so updates may come sporadically or not at all after this point, as my computer access will be limited!!

    If anyone has anything else to donate, please feel free to bring it with you!


    See you all there! :)

    With assistance from riffrandall and ECM, I have been in contact with Todd from The Station Family Fund and he is extremely grateful that we have considered this cause as our beneficiary. For those unfamiliar, please refer to the http://www.stationfamilyfund.org website. This organization is as 'grassroots' as Wishlist, so it is great to be able to help out some other music fans and their families. I can't do the cause justice by describing it...please refer to the website.

    We need to have some additional contributions to the raffle, so please consider adding to the pool of items. Any questions, please let me know!

    Weighing my options between the shuttle and just driving into the venue...

    Thanks!

    Yeah,
    There is no blocking and it has its own lane to get out. If you don't want a sometimes 2-3 (or 4) hour wait to get out it's well worth the price.

    Don't scare them. It's not 4. The worst I've seen is 2.

    Heya gang.

    I'm sorry if I missed something but...

    I'm taking a bus from NYC to Hartford on Friday, rent a car at the airport and go to the show. On Sat gonna go to Mansfield and stay there until Tuesday.

    I was looking around for hotels or any other places to crash. Couldn;t find any... Where are you planning to park the car? Next to Picadilly and then get the shuttle? Tents? Where? Other options? :):)

    PS: Can't wait... :)

    yep. i'm staying at the red roof inn in foxboro, that's less then 4 minutes away from the preparty; 7 minutes away from the center.

    best to take the shuttle from the preparty to the show & back.

    any thoughts from the Mansfield "locals" (more likely someone from the surrounding area) on where i should be looking to book a hotel room for the Mansfield shows? will likely venture into Boston on the 29th between shows so somewhere in between perhaps, i was thinking (yes/no?!). any and all suggestions are appreciated,...

    p.s. is the option of leaving the car a few miles from the venue and taking a cab a reasonable/realistic/recommended one to avoid the "$40 VIP Parking" rape not to mention the traffic scenario i've heard so much about?

    :D
