Hmmm - fungus - haven't done that in a few years - 2004 a good year to re-kindle old times??? :freak
Good God...No more fungus for this girl! Made some funky tea at Alpine, which was awesome until I totally tweaked out during Ants and thought the beer garden porch on which we were standing was going to collapse and kill us all. Now I have to skip through that track because it still causes my heartrate to skyrocket. It made for a nice review of the show, though:

[rapunzelchick]

Roughly 4 - 5 hours. At least that seems like what ot took the past 2 years for me. I'm going to arrive home from vacation Friday at about 10:30. Wife and I will switch luggage and essentials from the Tahoe to the Z and cruise out of Portland at about 11ish.
Can you recommend a route? We have to go to Moses Lake to check into the hotel first.

[OCMarsh]

Can you recommend a route? We have to go to Moses Lake to check into the hotel first.
Hmmm...

I mapquested it and you could go this way:
I-84 East from Portland for about 3 hours (incredibly beautiful drive) to the I-82 interchange near Hermiston. Go West on I-82 to the Tri Cities (Kenniwick, Pasco, some other podunk town). From there, go north on 395 directly to Moses Lake. It may take over 5 hours. Anyone made that trip before who has anything to offer?

I was just trying to book a room for Golden Gate park at the Best Western, cause I guess thats where everyone is staying, and its sold out. I live an hour from the city but I know itll take 3 hours just to get out of there. So WTF! I need a room for that weekend damnit. ANyone else going to GGP and know of alternate places to stay at?

Webbah, its okay, youll make it without DMB for a few days, but why torture yourself? LOL My best friend does that, and I never understand holding back when you all know its an addiction you cant get enough of anyways. So keep listening!

I've done the same thing, but I'm feeling an urge to break out the DMB (no I have to hold out at least until this weekend for the LA show's!!!! 3 more days!!!!!)

you all are crazy!!! I can't put dave on the shelf! No way! I could try but never make it an hour. I am at work listing to him right now. There is something that makes the day pass better when I am listing to him. Call me crazy!!! I dare all ya'll!!! :lol

[Travman_71]

Does anyone know when the doors open? The official DMB site says 4pm and then the HOB website says 5:30pm. What's the deal?

[Thegravedigger]

I figure if i'm to stop listening to DMB, it will happen naturally. Every now and then a few days will go by that I don't hear them, and it does make it kind of refreshing when I finally do. But i've never intentionally "shelved" them before. Let me know how that works out for ya! ;)

[rapunzelchick]

I feel like our chances of getting GGT are getting smaller with each pre-Gorge show that passes. Where did it go? :(

[webbah]

I'm feeling pretty bummed about the tickets I got for the Sunday show - Row 45 - anyone feel sorry enough for me to sell any that may be better then Row 20????

Webbaaaaaahhhhhh suck it up buuuuuuudy!!! I got lawn for all three nights and totally excited about it. I am just happy I can be there to see and hear dave...no matter where I sit. Great seats would be soo nice, but I'm just happy to be at heaven's amphitheatre!!!

I know I know - and nothing wrong with Lawn - have you been? The only thing I really don't like about it is getting there early for a good spot - otherwise that's the best place to take in the view of the river - no doubt. Just once I'd like to sit up close though.

I totally felt that way until I got 14th row for Saturday's show. :monkey
Go monkey, go monkey....

[Thegravedigger]

The lawn is cool for the view, but the sound system up there is horrible. Or, at least it was in '02. Maybe they've upgraded. :cool:

[dmbpromoguy]

Ladies and gentlemen...... my ticket problems have been solved (however my financial loss has yet to be resolved) Please note my new signature!


Months ago I had in my hands TM tickets Friday C-11 Saturday B-19, I dont believe I will ever fully trust buying tickets from strangers ever again, and in the future I will never sell what I think to be 'extras' until I am holding the physical tickets from someone else.

[dmbpromoguy]

Does anyone know when the doors open? The official DMB site says 4pm and then the HOB website says 5:30pm. What's the deal?
Gates open approx 3 hours before the show, so 3pm, but really it depends on how late DMB wants to do its soundcheck, if they finish it at 4:00 than gates will probably open at 4.

Parking lot opens at 10am

[Bartender84]

I was there in '03, and I didn't notice ANY problems. It sounded perfect.

And I definitely prefer the lawn to the seats at the Gorge. You can see alot of the incredible background that you can't see from the seats, and you still have a good view of the band

[pichtd]

The tickets have arrived:
C 29 9,10
LAWN
C 40 5,6

haha - me too kimmy - when were you born?

Also - the lawn is fine - I think some of the speakers up above were blown in '02 so it did suck - but i'm sure they are a-ok now. Those speakers are house equipment - if it's windy - you'll rely on them - if not - not to worry - the DMB road crew will set you up just fine with their equipment........

I am waiting for my tickets to arrive, They tried to deliver yesterday and I was not home. Actually they aren't my tickets, but I have to mail them to someone. My tickets are with Crumbo. :)

[stimmerman]

What kind of food is everyone bringing if you're staying all weekend. I always just end up buying expensive stuff at the Gorge, but this year I want to pack some tasty vittles that will stay fresh all weekend. Not sure if I will have a stove yet.

[webbah]

Hmmm - I got some of my tix yesterday but not my instants which are due to arrive today - I guess they'll leave me a notice - can I have them leave them under my door mat? Or do they have to have someone sign for them????

I've done it all ways - started out buying styrofoam coolers (my good ones held the frosty cold adult beverages) and packing them with sandwich stuff and fresh fruit/veggies. Easy Cheez and Triscuits is always a Gorge staple for me. Brats are excellent on any grill space you can rent for 10 minutes...usually a cold beer will satisfy any grill owner for 20 square inches of grill space. It does me anyway. Chips, cookies are all fun to eat. But don't forget the water - you'll be needing it in the mornings - and needing it badly I assume! :evil :D :monkey

I'm new to the Gorge, this will be my first year,and I have just a few questions. If this is already another thread it would be nice if you pointed me there before you ripped on me for posting in the wrong place. With that said, I was wondering if the official Gorge campground is as bad as everyone has made it out to sound? Is it worth ditching a reservation and going to a different campground?

Thanks,
Ryan

[Gonzo]

I think if you look hard enough you will se somone has something bad to say about almost all of them. It all depends on what you are looking for.

[Squiggle96]

Does anyone know of anyone in the greater NY vacinity that would want to make the drive to the Gorge with me?! If not I'm going to have to sell the tickets. Looking for someone to pay their ticket, half gas, isn't a druggie and interesting to talk to! Respond to Hop123321@aol.com I REALLY want to go!

[OCMarsh]

NY to the Gorge?? Smoly Hokes!! Thta'll take about a week.

Anyway.... I was just posting to say see ya all later. My flight to LA leaves in less than 2 hours. I will then proceed to run up and down the West coast like a crazy man for the next week and a half, ending at the Gorge of course. I may not be able to post again, but everyone have a great time.

I will be the tall, balding, (slightly insulated) guy in the parking lot giving away a table full of shows. It could be the greatest weekend ever!!

Cheers

We're driving up from LA, going to Umpqua River, then Hood River area (Timothy Lake), Portland, Seattle....3 days of mindblowing Gorge!!! It'll be the first time for both of us. Looking forward to Wildhorse and jamming with everyone. Hope everyone has a safe trip up and looking forward to tipping a few (among other things..) with you all. Cheers!

The sad thing is that Coors Amphitheater has got to have the worst traffic problems I have ever seen for a venue. I live in San Diego and I chose not to go to the show here because last time I did it took about 2 hours to get there, and over 3 1/2 hours for me to get home. That's too much bullshit to deal with, even for Dave.

I don't remember traffic being that bad, but I haven't been there recently.

No venue I have been to sucks as bad as Nissan does in terms of traffic :BANG

I just got a room at the Super 8 in Moses Lake. They have been booked for months but someone cancelled. This now gives me an extra room for Friday and Sat. nights at the Best Value El Rancho Motel in Moses Lake. It is a nice room with a single Queen and is non smoking (you can just smoke outside the door). If anyone is interested in the room please let me know. The rate is $50 per night and I have it for Friday and Saturday.

Thanks

Well people - I'm officially jonesing badly here - I knew it would happen - without listening to DMB for a few days now and all. So - I'm now seriously considering bucking up and going to the Friday show as well because I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if they played Two Step that nigh and I missed it.

Yeah man I know how you feel. I tried to take a few day off too, then ended up losing the fight and surrendering to Naylor's 7-29-02. Wow what a great recording of a great show, and Loving Wings too. I am really about to freak out thinking about stating to pack for the trip today. :monkey :monkey :monkey

[whntjon]

AAA says Moses Lake is about 50 minutes from the Gorge. Moses Lake is around 30 miles east of the Gorge down I-90. Maybe the band will stay at the Super 8 and I'll get to meet them, but with buses that nice why would they want to sleep somewhere else.

[bopanic]

Anyone want to go to the waterpark in Moses lake for a day :)

And Bopanic, just go to www.moseslake.com for all the info you need


thanks for the link! :thumbsup

doubt they would stay at a super 8, maybe something a bit nicer, and they very rarely stay on the buses unless they are traveling over night. they normally shack up in a westin, four seasons, ritz. you know the big daddy hotels!


but i dont know much about the moses lake area, just know they prob wont stay in their buses 3 nights in a row, wouldnt suprise me if they didnt stay in seattle, with dave liven there and all, only 2.5hrs away, and hell they arent driving anyways...

[whntjon]

Good point, I didn't think about them staying in Seattle.

[bopanic]

Good point, I didn't think about them staying in Seattle.


last year i remember on the walk back to the gorge campsite from the venue itself, having to stop at the road, and watch the buses go by, they left the venue each night after the show! so they are going somewhere...

leaving out on wed for a couple days in seattle then on the gorge on friday. its gonna be great, gotta go get my tent ready... :multi

[OneSweetPhish]

Hey all..haven't posted on this yet but...time is near...my 3rd gorge run! I wanted to say that we are staying at motel 6 in moses lake( a break from super 8) Anyway it's just me and my friend..so if anyone decent needs room to crash and wants to help out with the cost email me or post here and i'm sure it will be ok..just trying to save some$$..everyone be safe..there are alot of cops around there..just a warning. For the gorge virgins...THe only bad thing about going to the gorge is that u have to go back every year from then on=)


Peace~Jen

[OneSweetPhish]

Oh and about the band members...From what i recall dave and carter fly to seattle each night the rest of the band and crew stay local..don't want to say where, but it's right by me...

So everyone...Top 3 songs that may realistically be played @ the Gorge this year that you're dying to hear?

I'm hoping for Typical, Pig, and Spoon (long shot I know).

BOWA, GGT, Last Stop

Not too unrealistic.

sounds like a fun . Are you camping at the shows?

[marco j]

hey guys me and wifey are heading out to the gorge this year.we will be there second day. will anybody maybe talk to me on the phone who has been there , that i can ask all sorts of questions too. preferably someone mature maybe thirty plus?!?!? i'm just way nervous about arriving on time for the show that night and supply's and stuff.
thankyou very much.

[Thegravedigger]

Thats not true. Dave flys in a private helicopter from the Gorge home to Seattle each night. The rest of the band stays close by. ;) Promise. :)

[Thegravedigger]

Oh......and the Motel 6 in Moses Lake is where it's at!!! :monkey


It's fittin to be a blast!! Gotta make it through L.A. first. :cool:

[webbah]

Well - I have good news and bad news. The bad news is my wife just got in a semi-serious auto accident. She is "ok" but we're going to the emergency room here in a few as she is really tightening up - just make sure everything is properly documented so we don't get fucked down the road. The family truckster (Jeep) is badly damaged and won't be making the trek to the Gorge. But - of course this won't stop us - plus we're coming on Friday now to the Wildhorse! <------- that was the good news :D

[Gonzo]

Hope she is ok

[Thegravedigger]

Hope she is ok

im leaving on wed. cannot wait!!! :thumbsup

[bopanic]

So everyone...Top 3 songs that may realistically be played @ the Gorge this year that you're dying to hear?

I'm hoping for Typical, Pig, and Spoon (long shot I know).

1. BOWA (of course!!!)
2. Halloween (kinda a longshot...)
3. Say Goodbye (think its coming out at the gorge, maybe once before to freshen it up...)

and it would be sweet it spoon came back out, id like to get it bridged with

SMTS-->ASTB-->Spoon... they have done that once before, would be GREAT!

:multi :multi :multi

getting really excited now!!!

be on the LOOKOUT for the "BOWA" poster board, all 3 nights, its been to all the shows in the sig, and dave has been acknowledging it, had some kick ass seats this tour!!! (thanks missy for that by the way!)

:D :D :D
~bo

[dmbpromoguy]

Alright, its 1:21am my time, I just got home from a 3 hour wait at the 24hr clinic, I'm sick as hell but cant get to sleep sooo....... I figured I would post some things that would help you folks track me down and come by and sayhello.


I drive a black 4 door Chev Tracker with dark tinted windows..... heres a picture....
http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/412e3deez7809ae5e/89a4/__sr_/aa06.jpg?phDeDMBBQKfGHfSV

On the back passanger side window is the following firedancer decal........
http://us.f2.yahoofs.com/users/412e3deez7809ae5e/89a4/__sr_/9d09.jpg?phRfDMBBmFHUNeEn

I will park with the ass end of my tracker pointing out so yall can find one of these....
http://www.pl8ster.net/AB/AB93_NMC786.jpg (thats not my actual plate, but rather just a pic of the alberta design)

My crew should be easy to spot.......
An old guy (36ish)
An asian guy (23)
A young Ausie girl (19)
and two white guys (23)

We should be arriving at Wildhorse sometime around 2:30 (ish) on Friday

I have an individual reservation, BUT there is a rather LARGE group of Warehouse campers that are all camping together, and thats the section where I will be at. Our group of reservations is supposed to be all given spots in the same area, so if it comes true there will be a Warehouse area of wildhorse, thats where I will most likely be at.

Our camp setup will be a large Red White and Blue tent and a small blue dome tent, although its suspected that two or three of us might just sleep out on the grass!!!

I most likely wont have walkietalkies so I wont be part of the radiowave conversations :( Come by and track me down though, I will have varous Canadian beers with me!!!!! including the new Molson cold shots..... more alcohol content in a much smaller can, very handy for those who are 'learning' to appreciate beer......like myself.

I have also decided that well........ I cant possibly go on this trip without taking my blender, so if you want a nice cold margarita in the middle of the day...... you have to come see me!!!!!

[Mrerikdmb2004]

does anyone know about the gorge or is this place just never visited.

[Mrerikdmb2004]

Hey yall, I am going, its me MrErikdmb, if you see or here a guitar player who sounds or feels like dave matthews vibe, then its me. Thanks yall, who is going camping all 4 days?


6-3/4 days and counting

[Sniper15]

I just got tickets for night 3 and am so pumped. Night 3 should be the best show of the tour. I'm thinking a BOWA opener, Seek Up, Say Goodbye, and maybe a Last Stop.

[AnyonebutBush]

I dont think its gonna be Last Stop or halloween ... but Maybe
What you are
PFWYG
and Say goodbye if we are lucky !

[trippingbake]

I am sure this has been discussed... but does anyone know if it is difficult to get a camera into the gorge? I would be sitting near the front of the pavilion, and I would like to take some photos (without a flash of course)...
Thanks

[dmbpromoguy]

i'm still sick and I still feel like shit, glad its happened now and not next week!

I'm looking most forward to hearing BOWA... I haven't heard it since 8.5.00 at the Gorge, and that's the only time I've heard it in 30 shows. And since they're playing three shows, there's a good chance that they'll play it. When they do, this is what my face will look like: :D (minus the green ;) )

[Bartender84]

im gonna go out on a limb and say that your gonna get the 3 songs you want to hear, for sure!!! :thumbsup

Only problem is, I'm only going to Nights 2 and 3. I already had something else planned for Friday that I couldn't changed when that date was announced.

I'm just hoping my Two Step curse doesn't continue. It's always been played the night before my show

If I do get a Two Step, it had better be a full version. None of that short, no jam shit they did last night

I used to live in Londonderry, NH (right next to Manchester). I've been a Seattle resident for a while now, but it's good to see NH will be representing at the Gorge this year. You're gonna love it out here. Have a killer time, man!

I just noticed that you live in Mass. But anyways, have a good time.

What's up with the Bumbershoot fest anyways? I've heard many things about it but no one seems to know consistently when and where it is. I've heard it doesn't start until Monday (labor day) which sucks since that's when I'm leaving.

wanted to get this going now, while everyone is getting ready to pack and leave for the gorge, i am coming from nashville and im flying out on wed, so i obviously cant bring everything with me, so my question to all of you is,

what are the things that you always forget when camping that your making sure you bring with you this time?

maybe we can get a list of things going, obviously most of us need the camping things such as these,

tents
coolers
toiletries
food/snacks

but what are the other unobvious things we need. just wanna be prepared.

ive done the bonnaroo thing all 3 years, but that is a bit closer for me and i can drive there, from my house, so i dont have to worry with flying with most of these things...

thanks in advance for getting this ball rolling... :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I wish it were, but since I'm going to be there and I have good seats I'm sure nothing great will happen.

Any other usefull info would be appreciated.

Thanks all!

you would have to crotch cameras, i did it last year, no big deal

it is 2.5 hrs roughly to the gorge from seattle, and as far as hotels, there is moses lake, do a search for info on hotels, i guess.

most everyone camps, thats the way to go! good luck!

I'm looking online for hotels....not finding anything.

They guy that i am getting tickets from also has a spot reserved for camping...but i dont have any gear for this...and it would be a bitch to have to carry extra shit on the plane for it...any suggestions.

Sorry, these are stupid questions

www.moseslake.com (for hotels??? i think???)

Yeah, all the hotels nearby (like in Moses Lake) have been sold-out for months. (Besides us Gorge-goers, Labor Day weekend over there is very busy.)

I did a little bit of research for you, and found a hotel in Wenatchee that has rooms. It's the Holiday Inn Express. I found it on Orbitz. (Wenatchee is about ~40 miles north from the Gorge.)

[rogz9]

Thanks!

What are the bathroom facilities like, if any, at the campgrounds.
My GF is wondering.
Thanks

[webbah]

wanted to get this going now, while everyone is getting ready to pack and leave for the gorge, i am coming from nashville and im flying out on wed, so i obviously cant bring everything with me, so my question to all of you is,

what are the things that you always forget when camping that your making sure you bring with you this time?

maybe we can get a list of things going, obviously most of us need the camping things such as these,

tents
coolers
toiletries
food/snacks

but what are the other unobvious things we need. just wanna be prepared.

ive done the bonnaroo thing all 3 years, but that is a bit closer for me and i can drive there, from my house, so i dont have to worry with flying with most of these things...

thanks in advance for getting this ball rolling... :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I always bring a roll of TP - you never know when the port-a-jons are gonna run out.............

4 days holy crap..i need to get to steppin' I am leaving on thursday morning baby!!!! So I tried out my concert skills last night at the toby keith concert at shoreline and my drinkin' abilities were money, but my walking and sense of direction from the lawn to the bathroom back to the lawn need some work...I was lost the whole concert, so I found a little patch of grass and stood there and partied by myself the whole concert...it was a good time, but can someone make me a leash and possibly a helmet cuz i tend to bail a lot and i did last night..my knee is all scratched up!!! 2 six packs of sierra nevada and a 22 ounce dr. peper and Cpt. Morgans down the hatch with no problmes. Over the teeth and through the gums, watch out stomach here it comes!!!!

:bounce I got butterflies in my stomach 4 DAYS YEAH BABY!!!!

[stimmerman]

Yes, I am excited. I've been so busy this summer I haven't used my tent once. Fuck the tent though, if the weather is good I'm sleeping under the stars, baby. I can't wait to unpack, setup and sit down with some cool beverages before the show. I love having reserved seats and not having to roll up to the show until about 8:00pm. Just got my new Wazzu camping chair, too.

[Thegravedigger]

Wow!!.....Coastin' right on in to the Gorge. 4 dayz!

I can't believe that the Gorge is next weekend. Only one more show before the Gorge. I always love it when the road crew posts something like "see y'all at the Gorge." Then it really sinks in (as if it hadn't before!).

For one of my friends going, this will be her first time seeing DMB. I'm sure she'll love it!

4 days. :multi

So everyone...Top 3 songs that may realistically be played @ the Gorge this year that you're dying to hear?

I'm hoping for Typical, Pig, and Spoon (long shot I know).
Last Stop, Halloween, Full #36

[billies_41]

I wish it were, but since I'm going to be there and I have good seats I'm sure nothing great will happen.
Me too.

Oh, I'll be there for sure. I've only been out of school for a year now, so it's a good way to see friends that are still in Pullman and see the Cougs without driving 5 hours. I don't know how well we'll do against Colorado, especially with Derting injured, but we'll see.

Are you going Webbah?

I'll be there - I'm a Zag but have adopted the Cougs as my football team - I used to live in Spokane so it kind of runs in the blood over there.

Oh - and - I have an extra pair of tickets to the Saturday show now as well - Row 23, Section A if anyone is interested. And did I mention I just secured Row 10 for Friday's show?! :D :bounce

I like hot. Hot=tan and tan=ladies walking around in very little clothing for you gentelmen!!! Think about it sir's!!!! And for us ladies hot=men walking around with no shirts!! Yummy!

[stimmerman]

This weekend's weather looks perfect. Last year it was the beginning of August and about 95-100 degrees. Way too hot, especially if you're staying the whole weekend and have to hang out all day sweating out every ounce of water you take in and then some.

Hopefully high seventies and low eighties will be hot enough for the ladies to be in minimal clothing. I'm guessing it will be. :thumbsup

Interesting. I just ordered one pair from the WH for each night, and none of my three pairs look like the one in that auction. (I always thought they just had one pattern per night.)

[perrinbar]

Okay, this is a late time to ask, but is there anybody out there who either has an extra seat in a car or knows of a fairly cheap way to get to the Gorge from Seattle on Saturday. My ride just kinda spaced on me, so I'm stuck in Seattle too young to rent a car and all on my lonesome. So anyone who could help me out might just become my new favorite person in the world.

Please any help to get to the Gorge for the first time would be the best thing ever. Thanks a bunch y'all.

too bad you weren't coming from spokane...sorry, good luck though!!!

I don't know if this will help but I am picking my brother up at the Seattle airport on Thursday morning at around 11am. Anyone needing a ride to the gorge at this time is more than welcome. I rented a Dadge Magnum so there should be plenty of room. Sorry, I know it's not saturday buddy.

I just got this in an email from KMTT (The Mountain) 103.7 (Seattle station) :

"Vote for your three favorite Dave Matthews songs by Wednesday, September 1st. We'll tally the votes, and play back your favorites all weekend long, starting on Friday!"

You can vote here:

Sec. A, Row 39
Sec. B, Row 49
Sec. A, Row 47
Plus the 3-day Gorge camping pass

Haha - that's right. Anyway - the extras are actually from the gal who sold me the Friday Row 10's - I told her I'd help her sell them via the honor system - she can't go due to money issues so hopefully I can sell them for her.

Don't worry Webbah, I have a bunch of tickets to get rid of too. This board is now flooded with ticket sellers. It will be fairly easy to off them at the Gorge, I've done it before. We'll make our money back, there are always some needy kids trolling the gates before the show.

Do you guys think the fans at the Gorge will be "the best of the best?" I sure as hell hope so. I was at the Gorge for the 01 and 02 shows, but skipped last year. It was great in 01, because not many fands were at the hotel we were at (with Leroi, Stephan, Boyd, Butch & the Ladies). Then in 02 there were alot more fans that came to that hotel for that reason. Oh well....
Subject change: Maybe I'm getting older, or the fans are getting younger, but this year at Alpine was just a wierd sight. We tailgated next to a group of kids that had to be from the ages of 16-18. They listened to rap the whole time and all had on polo shirt's with the f#$*ing collars up!!! I'm pretty sure those kids, and alot of other just like them just go for the atmosphere (party, and hit on girls). But that was at Alpine, and an easy drive for anyone in the midwest. So, back to my original question. Is the Gorge different? I mean, it's pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I suppose some of "those" kids might live in Seattle, and make the 3 hour drive. But, I just think of the Gorge as sacred grounds. I'm sure it will be alot of great people flying in from around the country/world. That's what I'm hoping for anyways. Can't wait for this weekend. See you guys in a few days. Oh yeah, I'm from Minnesota btw.
