I greatly enjoyed touring the cornfields and gazing at the large cows.

We also enjoyed the drive through at McDonald's. Or was that Wendy's? Burger King?!?

And the Piggly Wiggly was everything I'd hoped it would be.

The music didn't suck, either.

I would go back in a heartbeat.

Didn't like the venue either.

Is that a big deal? I used to work in East Troy and have lived in Wisconsin my whole life, so I've always known alcohol sold in stores till 9, bartime at 2. I vacationed once in Clearwater, FL, and I think we couldn't get booze on a Sunday night. Also, ET is a horrible shit town (like the Live song), so if you stay at AV you want to go to Lake Geneva, Elkhorn or Waterford. Don't bother with East Troy!

It was a pleasant suprise, in Texas, only beer and wine can be sold on Sundays and only between the hours of 12 noon and midnight.

Yep, in Indiana no alcohol sales at all on Sundays unless you go to a bar or restaurant.

Im with RM22 on this.

It was a great trip and a wonderful weekend. Wisconsin was cool.

However that was that. There is no way that PJ21 at Alpine will out-do or be better than PJ20 at Alpine. From personal experience, in our party days, the greatest parties that my friends or I have thrown always failed if we tried to replicate them shortly after.

It would be cool, but not the same electricity. It wont be as much of a pilgrimage for everyone.

Personally, Ill splurge on a different location. I would love to go to Gorge. Maybe somewhere in Cali. I would love to hit Seattle again, etc...

Exactly. They couldn't even sell out PJ20 there on a holiday weekend.

Sure, it would be awesome if they did something on Labor Day at a different location, I'd love to make it to the Gorge sometime. But we can only go where the band plays and the rumors that people heard were about Alpine. I don't think it would out do last year either but it would still be fun to meet up with some people from here and tailgate. I'd rather them announce a fall US tour than another Labor Day weekend show at Alpine, but if they do I'd go again.

81 · March 2012

sounds like it is very likely that Buffet will be announced tuesday for 8/25

not that that means anything to us....

MayDay10 · March 2012

I would rather eat poison than go to see Jimmy Buffett

81 · March 2012

i'd go to a buffet show if the ticket was cheap

JTH · March 2012

Buffett's not really my cuppa, but I've been to one of his shows and I had a good time.

As for another Alpine show "outdoing" PJ20, why is anyone assuming (if there are any Alpine dates scheduled) that this will be any type of festival or "destination weekend?"

Can't the band play there as a regular stop on a US tour?

i don't think there is a fesitval coming, at least i don't....but i wouldn't be suprised if they played it. i also wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't happen.

I was assuming regular shows too, no way they do another festival. And I don't think I could handle 2 hours of Jimmy Buffett

I wouldn't travel there again with your money. Great time but I don't want to go back there ever. I would rather about 100 other places to see a show.

i DO have to agree with RM that it would be nice to have a change of venue
but not because alpine isn't OK
it just would be nice to do it someplace else each time
it would make it Fresh and New
like another poster said above

hey! maybe Yasgur's Farm!

by the time we got to Woodstock we were half a million strong
