I think you just sold me. I will be there. Now I need to find a flight and hotel. Wont be able to make the Cubs game since it is a day game and I have to have practice Friday morning. But I think I will be flying into Chicago because its cheaper
No way they play 5 days in a row. They've said multiple times that they hate to play even 3 straight days. Could be one of the DMB caravan shows or maybe a Phish weekend?
I tend to agree, although it may not be a show on every one of those days. May have just blocked out the days permit-wise. Anyway, I'll believe it when it's official. PJ in Fenway rumors have been flying around for a LOOONG time.
I think it sounds great, but I'm at the mercy of (1) Zilla (who I believe is driving us from Chicago) (2) BeTheMatch - who I believe I staying at the resort who I need to meet for tickets at some point.Okay, how many are seriously interested in getting a small bus with driver? Apparently, there are quite a few of you at that Hampton Inn (@15?) and if we combine with you all, we are talking about 30 here. With that amount, it appears to make a lot more sense to get our own transportation, for a number of reasons... For one, we can decide WHEN we want to go each day, which is huge, and from everything I've read, we all want to leave later, especially on Saturday. Problem is, the buses that are currently going around are leaving EARLY, like before 10AM. PFUK that! Especially for all us Wrigleyville stragglers, that will be a nightmare for sure.I've also read that they'll have 6 pickup locations. 6?! Again, F that, what a hassle and a bunch of time I do not wanna spend. We would have 2 pickups is all. And both our locations are the same distance from the venue (south), btw...simple, and we call the shots.Anyway, not that concerned if it'll cost a little more than what these big bus groups are paying ($40), I'd much rather not deal with all the time, the randoms and being on someone else's schedule there AND back both days. Came too far for that ####.Thoughts? This will only work if we're all in, so should I check it out or no? Thanks.
There are lawn seats still available. Not sure you will be able to find reserved but good luckI just bought my tickets on Monday
How are you coming up with 30 people?I'm sorta on the fence...I don't care about going early (leaving at 10 or 11)...but 6 stops wasn't what I was thinking. The reason they leave so early is because it's gonna take HOURS to get there making that many stops and then dealing with traffic near the venue. If we can get it more "private" to just the two stops I'd run it by my guys to make sure they are all in...unless you want me to do that now...let me know.

Yeah, I did see those. I'm not sure how fun that would be going solo.
Im flying solo too. A lot of guys from here are actually on the grass for the Sunday show since they have reserved for Saturday

But they're in the fan club section of the grass, no?

Like the stuff to mine for gold
Yes...except for Acer's. But once PJ takes the stage, that section opens up.
Dagnabit. I'm back to wanting in on this. Alright, time to talk to the wife again.
Well I don't see how we can do all day & night Chicago on Friday and still make it to tailgate much on Saturday. TF and I still have to figure out how we're going to get our tickets. The responsible adult part of me thinks it might be a good idea to spend Friday night chilling in the Valley. I don't always listen to that part though.I'm easy, I'm doing whatever everyone else wants to do.
already cancelled the friday night hotel near alpine.....whoops.
I think the big thing is just to coordinate how-where-when we get our tickets since they're in someone else's name.Tailgating will take care of itself, I don't need to see Liam Finn
PM me, please!
The only thing I'm wondering about is where the ticket pick-up is vs. the gate. I mean, it can't be inside the gate, right? Because then you couldn't get in. So you must pick up the tickets "outside" somewhere.The issue then would be if me and my buddy want to go in a lot earlier than you guys can meet us. Because it says there's no re-entry. No idea if there's an area where I could stand "inside" and hand tickets to you through a fence or whatever "outside."
I came up with 30 by adding, haha. Nah, reading through this thread showed at least a dozen staying at that Hampton, no? And we have more than that at our hotel. Seem enough to get our own. And could probly fill any open seats if we want to...The other thing about 6 stops that would suck is you know how long people take. We'll likely get back a lot earlier too -- that alone could be worth it, we'll be sapped. Possible tailgate, too. I know NOBODY wants to drive in our group so the bus thing is the only way to go. I don't know, it just seems like a way better way to go if the price isn't that much higher. I haven't even called any companies yet, wanted to see if it would fly first.How are you coming up with 30 people?I'm sorta on the fence...I don't care about going early (leaving at 10 or 11)...but 6 stops wasn't what I was thinking.

Oh we will, Gil, picking up supplies and whatnot.
Oh, we will. Have a hotel suite for Fri night already booked. Don't pay any attention to WorryJudd.
While I have never been to Alpine, I have been to more concerts and amphitheaters in my life than I care to recollect. There has never been an issue with going to the front gate and handing tix to someone
We don't need the bus since we're at the Alpine resort, but if you guys tailgate with the bus and the group before the concert, we'd love to join the party. Sounds like a blast.I came up with 30 by adding, haha. Nah, reading through this thread showed at least a dozen staying at that Hampton, no? And we have more than that at our hotel.

We like the idea. Two stops for around that price and nobody is going to want to drive. I got 6 people in total.I came up with 30 by adding, haha.

This is a trap. You had better pick Toronto with the family.OK, need some help with this delicate topic.wake up this morning and my wife and kids get me tickets and hotel to PJ in Toronto on 9/11. We would be there the 9th, 10th and 11th.My wife did not buy the tickets or book the hotel because she says if I really wanted to go to alpine alone, that would be OK with her. Do I take the mini family vacation or do Alpine by myself. I have never been to a concert by myself, let alone a whole weekend. Also not sure if she will be disappointed if I pick Alpine. I tried to put it on her already and she said that would not work.I have to choose myselfI can have free plane tickets if I can keep the total price of the ticket below $300 and that would leave me with 2 nights of lawn seats (about $150) and I would need to find a hotel and probably rent a carAny thoughts

40 per day for both days?Great news. Don't have time for all the details right now but a 33-person mini-bus is totally doable. And at about the same rate as that cattle-calling -- less than 40 bucks! Better than I thought. Brand new, too, so they are nicer as well. We could also just do this on our own/separately as there are even smaller buses that will accommodate about half that. Bottom line is, if you are thinking about going the bus/no-driving route, those bigger buses are NOT worth it, as long as you can get around 15 people together.
6 bucks and it's included in the ticket price

What was the set like? Was it all uke? Some uke some accoustic? Anyone else on stage accompanying or just him all night? I've got tix for Saturday and I'm curious what the night will be like. I've seen song lists, but I don't know how they are being played. I've not seen Eddie solo before.
Wasn't there (not so happy about this), but my buddy upgraded to 5th row and said is was friggen awesome.He'll play a mix of acoustic, uke, regular guitars (check out the Water on the Road DVD)...hell a pump organ too that was apparently amazing (apparently Arc was short because of an issue or he didn't like the first recording, so then he dominated the pump).Here is the Detroit set:
