    I'm at Grand Geneva too. Actually Timber Ridge, which is the "family" part of Grand Geneva. They've got an indoor waterpark for the kids! The resort looks great. I'm interested in transportation too, but honestly don't want to head over way early to see ALL the other bands (because the resort looks that good) Since only 15 miles away, I'd love a 5pm / 5:30pm departure.

    FYI...

    There is a van shuttle service. I've talked to the hotel manager. It's $40 round trip each day. I'm not sure if that's per person... i'm asking about that now, but I would assume that it is $40 per person.

    ScReaMing LunGs, if you call the hotel manager again, tell him that we already have about 20 people staying at the resort that would like transportation to and from. If you get into details, ask if they can arrange for at least 2 different departure times to go to Alpine Valley. Feedback is that some people will want to go early to see all bands and some that are mostly interested in Pearl Jam and will want to go more around 5:00pm. If you get a contact name and number, I could also give him a call. Cheers.

    Just a fyi for those staying here. Hugh Hefner built this place. It is a former Playboy Club. Pretty sure it is a 5 star resort. The place is phenominal! Typically the bands that play Alpine stay here so ya you could be dining with some band members.

    There will be a shuttle to the event.

    The manager gave me the email of the guy who is handling the transportation.

    <!-- e --><a href="mailto:adamjarr@grandgeneva.com">adamjarr@grandgeneva.com</a><!-- e -->

    email this guy for details, please post details as you get them since details can change.

    I purchased VIP parking passes for both shows, I'm not sure yet what time I'll be heading into each, but I am definitely staying until the end for both nights.

    I'd be willing to take a couple of people for a fraction of that cost.

    I sent an e-mail to the guy at grand geneva. Anyone ask how they are handling the return trip? Could be trickier than running a few trips back and forth.

    Does anyone have a plan for friday night? Also, any daytime activities before the shows?

    If you are interested in shuttle service to and from the Grand Geneva, you should forward
    your information to Adam the Bell Captain. My correspondance with him is below.

    ________________________________________________________________________

    Hey Dan I am setting up the van runs. The cost is $40 per person round
    trip. The times are not set yet but he will be doing several runs each
    way He will drop off and pick up just outside the parking lot so that he
    does not get stuck in traffic for hours. If you are interested just give
    me a list of names and I will put you on the list.
    Adam

    Dear Adam,

    I have been told that you are managing transportation for guests looking
    to travel to and from The Grand Geneva Resort to Alpine Valley, for the
    two days of Pearl Jam at Alpine Valley over memorial day weekend.

    Can you provide details in regards to, the cost (per person per round
    trip) and the frequency that the shuttle will run during the weekend.
    Do you have the details of the first and last service leaving the resort
    and the first and last service leaving Alpine Valley.

    This is a wonderful service that you are providing your guests coming to
    your resort specifically for these concerts.

    Look forward to your response.

    Dan

    So, who is staying at the Grand Geneva / Timber Ridge Lodge?! I'll be there with 8 others from Hamilton, ON. The price for a suite for 4 nights is $876.48 with taxes. We're shoving 5 people into a suite with 2 doubles and a pull-out so the price is $175.29 for 4 nights each.

    Also, i figured in celebration of PJ's 20th birthday, a bunch of us would splurge at the Geneva Chophouse on Friday, Sept 1st... the menu is here: http://www.chophouse411.com/chophouse_p ... Dinner.pdf

    This place has gotten excellent reviews on Chowhound.com

    Other than that, let's party it up Labour Day weekend baby!!!
