    i doubt many concerts have a muesum or bands playing along the back wall starting at noon.

    not to say that would warrent a three year deal, but it could help grease the wheels.

    So because they had a festival at an abandoned venue they need to sign their name in blood?

    And they set up curtains?

    Hmmm. Ok. I'm giving PJ's manager more credit than that.

    Again, it seemed to be AV needed it more than PJ did. I guess they did have to mow the lawn last summer b/c of this.....

    Could be PJ was looking for a place that would allow them to do it 3 years.

    I would love to see PJ at Alpine again, or anywhere in the US for that matter... But Kiss & Motley Crue are playing Alpine the weekend after Labor Day. I find it hard they would have shows 2 weeks in a row considering they only have maybe 5 a year. Hopefully Alpine is turning things around to host more shows cause I love the venue.

    I don't think that matters. I saw Rage there in 2007(?) on a Friday night and DMB played there the next day. The Rage crowd tore the place up so bad that all the Dave fans were pissed :lol:

    That being said, IF PJ plays Alpine again this year, I don't think it'll be a big fest like it was last year. Maybe a normal 2-night stand with an opener if anything.

    Guys,PJ Labor day weekend IS happening at Alpine Valley. This year and next year are done deals. Multiple sources through the Sherrif's dept at Walworth County have confirmed it. My cousin is a police officer there and a huge PJ fan. He told me about PJ20 and the 3 year deal there in Feb 2011. Get your rooms. You've been warned.

    Well, that makes sense. But, not the other way around (they HAD to sign a 3 year deal to get what they wanted - that's what I was commenting on).
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I don't see any reason why they would have to sign a 3-year deal, but maybe they did. Either way, I won't be there. Sorry, I just don't have any desire to spend my long weekend in but-fuck nowhere wisconsin. My trips to the midwest will continue to be for Lolla in August...

    I guess that's going to be Pearl Jam's one US show every year for the next 3 years... cause if they do a tour of the east coast they won't have a prayer of filling the place...
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Those are some big assumptions. It could very well be the start of a tour, similar to Canada last year. And if it is considered the "Chicago" shows, it will still sell tickets. I don't think it was 100% filled last year

    I booked at the Americinn... they don't have a cancellation fee.
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    I did a search to stay from that Saturday through Monday and here's what it says: Cancellation Policy: If you need to cancel, you must do so by 04:00 PM 09/01/2012 or your credit card will be charged for one night's stay.

    I'm looking at this one:
    Super 8 Delavan
    518 Borg Road, I-43 to Hwy 50 Exit 21, Delavan, WI 53115-2019 US

    Same one, right?
