    be aware that the parking lot gets very congested when leaving, since its essentially different parts of a field, and you could sit for hours trying to get out - i've seen this happen several times. so if your hotel is a bit of a drive, say an hour, figure on it taking 2-3 hours to get to after the show.


    sounds like fun :roll: :lol:
    That alone is enough to make me pass...

    sounds like bristow :roll:

    but i will still try to go :D

    You are right. Why let a little thing called logistics, comfort and connivence get in the way of a vacation. I'd be there with Dimitri if they played a city dump for $5k a ticket!

    im not sure seniority based seating is going to be an issue considering the majority of seats are lawn
    getting a ticket in the pavillion will be nearly impossible i am guessing.
    im wondering if the site will even be able to handle the demand when tix go on sale to 10c

    i didn't post that to be an alarmist, and i know a lot of venues are a pain to get out of, but i just wanted to call that to the attention of people staying an hour away. its a bit differnt if you can get to your hotel within 10 minutes of getting out of a shitty lot, much different if you are driving farther than that.

    I was reading earlier about many of the nearby hotels being booked around the assumed time PJ's supposed to be there. Perhaps PJ and co. booked them out for package deals??

    That would be a VERY cool surprise. I think I also read that Alpine had approved a campsite right on the grounds (don't take my word for that though, can anyone else confirm or deny?); if that's the case that's where I'll be staying!

    I don't think this is too much to hope for. PJ sets up hotel deals for a lot of shows, ya just gotta jump on it quick b/c they often are in limited #'s.

    If PJ are playing multiple nights, and with hotels spread out distance wide, I think the parking lot is going to be the place to party after the show. I'm not gonna be needing to get to work the next a.m. or anything like that, so let all the A types rush for the road, I've got all night.

    yep. i go to big cities to see them and then go to a bar and i will do that this year too. At Alpine, it will be just as nice to fuck around in the parking lot and drink canned beer from a cheap cooler with just enough ice left to keep my remaining 12 beer nightcap cold.


    repeat

    i will be there bi-winning while the apline haters watch the setlist come in play by play on their laptop

    shit, I could be tri-winning if it turns out to be a proper 3 day event.

    I remember reading something that they approved a small campsite right on the grounds. I think it was something real small...only like 75 campsites and 4-6 people per campsite.

    all i ask, if it is at alpine valley, is that we get enough heads up so that i can get things in order and plan things out. i don't have the money to just book rooms for "just in case" and i don't drive. *crosses fingers* pleeeeeeeease give us enough time to sort things out!!! and waiting for the info, waiting to see if it really is alpine valley or not, it's driving me crazy!!! (there, no corduroy puns).
