Today I decided I'm going to listen to all the studio albums in a row one a day until PJ20. Then lost dogs, then some rarities

I can only imagine the gambling games we're going to think of that Friday night. Two weeks ago at a bachelor party we already had a mini 2 round draft of guest apperances (nobody currently on the bill and we excluded Cornell).
That day was also a great reminder to me that I cannot start drinking too early in the afternoon.....

So who are the odds-on favorites for "surprise" guests?Ben Harper, Neil Young. Who else? I think it would rule if Mookie Blaylock introduced them or something.

Someone on the PJ boards said Harper's in the middle of a tour and the timing likely wouldn't work. I was reading an article last week where I think it was Stone saying that there will be a bunch of guests...so really it could be absolutely anyone. Gonna be interesting for sure

Harper has shows on 9/3 and 9/4.I'm not aware of any Neil or Cornell conflicts so I'd think they are the favorites. Probably put Jack Irons in that group as well.There are alot of possibilities from those dudes to Victoria Williams to RODMAN (well maybe not)!Someone on the PJ boards said Harper's in the middle of a tour and the timing likely wouldn't work.

Saw a modern rock cover band this weekend. They were pretty decent. They covered Evenflow, which was alright, but really wet my appetite for this show. I am getting really stoked for this!

Personally, I would prefer fewer "special guests," but I guess I am in the minority there
I agree. Although, if they're doing like 3 or 4 encores per night; it could be cool

3 or 4 encores in sets that aren';t starting until 9:30 at the earliest (I expect them closer to 10 PM)? That sseems ambitious

PJ on Fallon Sept 8th and 9th and Cameron Crowe on Sept 8th to talk about the documentary

Ben Harper is playing here at Del Mar next weekend so it won't be him. Man, I'm kind of a mess right now, didn't wake up too long ago but let's see...
Cornell would be great, but let's hope he doesn't butcher Hunger Strike like he did in Santa Barbara. Good god that was awful. I stumbled across that boot recently and could not believe how bad that song came out. I remember being there and not wanting to think it was bad, but it was. No idea what happened, nerves maybe? I don't think he could handle the 11 year layoff, ha. He tries to go so hard at the very beginning that he buries himself and can't go anywhere after. Weird because he sounds quite good on other songs that night so it wasn't that...sounded great even on one in particular (that I can't recall right now). Speaking of which, there is a great version of Betterman from Santa Barbara with Jack Johnson (on same boot I found). I don't care if you like Betterman or not, this version is excellent, and different. And finishes with a tag I've never heard before that's cool. Ed is just crooning at the end of it.
I'm on a bender. Headed to this bar where all the track folk go on Monday to rage. Band started up last week at 2PM, don't wanna be late. This is Saturday (no racing) for all of them so it's great, gets kind of rowdy. There is a also this smokin exercise rider meeting me there... By the time I get to PJ20, I may not make it to PJ20...
ETA that kind of turned into a GMTAN update in the PJ thread there at the end, oops. Might as well keep going here... I hit the pick 6 on Friday, thus the bender...
ETA2 when I woke up I noticed I was on the clock in my first ff draft (AnarchyII). I have not followed #### this year. I took VICK at #3. That might not have been real smart.

Quick hijack: I went to the Nebraska-Texas football game last year with some buddies, one of which is from Lincoln. So we're walking around downtown several hours before kickoff, and the bars and tailgate lots are overflowing. We're all doing pretty well. When, up ahead, I see a guy sitting outside a bar on the sidewalk wearing a Gophers shirt. As we walk by, I scream at the top of my lungs, "Who hates Iowa?" And without so much as looking up or even moving, the guy screams back, "We hate Iowa!" Good times. But I digress.

I'm sorta with you here. I'm thinking the more guests will disrupt the flow of the shows, Ed will talk alot (not always a horrible thing, and we're there to celebrate 20 years of history, but I also want to rock), etc. They do have 2 nights to spread it out. 2-3 per night would be good. Enough to make it stand alone vs other shows, but not overkill at the same time.

I bet Ed joins a lot of the acts during the day. I can also almost guarantee that on night 1 Ed will say something to the effect of "more people need to come inside earlier to catch the earlier acts".The two acts that I have interest in, Liam Finn and Young Evils play way too early...so I've already written them off. I'm not viewing this as a festival though...more like a kick ### tailgate for 2 kick ### PJ shows.Gonna try to follow the LSU/Oregon game on my phone as much as possible before the show starts on Saturday

Expo passes needed for the museum?

Based on where the side stages are I'd think you'd be able to stroll over to that area without going inside and be able to hear some of the sets you want. Could be wrong though.

So I just got a call from a buddy who is on one of the big PJ busses we've talked about...he's been in contact with the bus company owner who wants to add another smaller, 30-person bus which would leave the Lake Geneva area at 4PM. That would be ####### PERFECT. And for only 25 bones which is great -- a lot cheaper than the company I was talking to a month ago. So I told him I'd throw it on here...
I know the TU party moved hotels which appears to be closer to Lake Geneva, if I'm not mistaken, so that might work. Is there anybody else in here interested? The sooner my buddy can let this guy know he has some more takers, the better, cuz he'll just arrange it knowing he can fill the rest. We won't be on the hook for anything whether there's empty seats or not.
So besides that it's probly the cheapest way to go, we won't have all the stops the big busses have to take, the rest of you can pick a place for your pickup, and we can call the shots on times. The biggest part is that we won't have to be at Alpine for like 10 hours until PJ go on, for Christ's sake. And I can sleep IN!

For anyone looking to tailgate, I do have a couple VIP parking passes for both days that I won't be using. I could coordinate getting them to you, and then we'd have spots for tailgating.
And it looks like the spaces are already assigned. I hadn't noticed that before.

The website says no alcohol is allowed in the venue. I assume that only means inside the gates, and we aren't going to get car searched for bringing coolers of beer in for the tailgate?

As much as getting there at 11:30 sounds early...the first pickup leaving at 4:00 sounds late. This is especially true on Saturday...I don't think we want to be hanging around the Hampton all day, rather be at the site checking out the museum, tailgating and maybe checking out some other acts. Sunday seems the more logical day to regroup. Do you know if it's possible to do the early bus one day and the late bus the other day? Or do you have to commit for both days?
