I asked you in another thread about the Gorge, are you going?

[Crumbo]

:lol
Hey, I've been meaning to PM you, Mr. Source Whore. I've got a really bad 7.5.03. Who's tape do you like for it?

I think Jon Ice's is the one to go with....my list is taking forever to show up (damn etree.org....at least it's free :rolleyes: )

edit: Jon Ice's is the only one I have on my list so I guess it must be that one :p

[missycor]

Thanks. :)

Sweet we are staying at the Super 8 in Moses Lake. My fifth consecutive year going and the best way to close out the summer.

[missycor]

man....this 6-23 show is tight:cool:

I haven't got it yet. I've been switching off the last few days between 6.20 and 6.21. Maybe I'll grab 6.23 next, if there is a compelling reason?

Of course, I'm actually listening to 3.10.94 right now. :lol

[Crumbo]

night 2--B-21
night 3--B-29

I always tailgate and grill with no problems. The problem there is cell phone service once you pull in the lot is non-existant.
night 1 ...sec B row 23
night 2 ...sec A row 26
night 3 ...sec C row 15

that sucks about the cell phone service....good news on tailgating though

nice seats :cool:

how are my seats?....is there a good enough incline in the pavillion so I can see over people?

[mihighdavehead]

The 6/18 I got is pretty good, but long and not up to the caliber of 6/21 song wise. 6/21 is my favorite show so far.

You really can't go wrong in section B, you will be able to see fine. The sound booth is directly behind row 40, so you don't have to worry about that being in the way. Just watch out for the crazy chair folder-upper kids.

sweet.....thanks:)

if anyone fucks with my chair there is gonna be a problem....not physically of course because I don't believe in violence (not that I could do anything about it)....but security will fast become my friend :haha

[missycor]

Hey Crumbo, after we chatted last night, I got into the box where I keep all of my 80s tapes, and dug out The Great Radio Controversy and Mechanical Resonance. I found 2 things - (1) I still know all of the words :rolleyes: :lol and (2) that's some good shit!! :eek: Are you really taping? Cause I'd love a b&p if you do. Now I'm extra jealous you're going. Have a great time.

[dmb_41_sd]

Slow weekend here. Yup, that's all I have to add today. Tested out all the camping gear this weekend. Just made me wish alpine was a little closer. We're getting there. Morning everyone.

[crashintosabine]

Good morning. :)

Um...yeah. Nothing new to report, except we're down to 40 days! :D

40 days and 40 nights,
till everything is gonna be allright....
Alpine Valley here we come,
BBQ, beers, and lot of fun.
Guster and Jem open for the band,
Get there early cause Guster can jam.
When the stars come out and everyone makes way,
DMB will turn that mutha out, in their favorite place to play.
The view at alpine can't be beat,
Especially from section 103 row B, that is my seat.
So cheers to a night sure to have glory,
And cheers to dmb busting out a full band #40.

40 days till alpine baby!!!!! a big ole' WOOT is in order cause they are gonna RAWK the valley! :D

Good morning everybody.
How was everyone's concerts this weekend?
The Roots and 311 put on a great show at Red Rocks Saturday!!

[yankeesguy86]

Hey everybody! I came in here about a week ago, and it's confirmed that I'm coming to Alpine on 8/7. I won't be staying for the second night :-( but this will be a good introduction to me for next year's big two night stand.

Question - I already got two instant tickets for this show from the Warehouse, on the lawn, but i need just ONE more lawn ticket. How should I go about getting the one ticket? I've looked all around Ticket Exchange, too.

[EatSleepJeep]

I heard that from a guy I work with. He made the drive from MI and came back to work this morning with nothing but good things to say about the sets, the venue, everything. :) Although he mentioned there was some guy there that seemed to be on a bad trip and kept trying to lick the people who were hiding him from passing security. :freak

[crashintosabine]

The Roots and 311 put on a great show at Red Rocks Saturday!!

:thumbsup I'll be at the 7-7 show...can't wait!

[mihighdavehead]

311 @ red rocks. Yo necesito detailos.
I was surprised the place was not full, about 80% full.
The set rocked with quite a bit of old school songs which I liked. The new song sounded sweet live. It rained a bit and it was a chilly CO night, but they definitely like playing here. Sound was superb...it's Red Rocks :D

Encore:
Who's Got The Herb?
Down

[ShAdOwFaX]

and that is TOTALLY fine with me. The sooner fall gets here the sooner I can move into my new house!

I love summer in chicago and I don't want it to end, but I am also excited to go back to school and see all of my college buddies again... Hopefully I'll get out and see Farenheit 9/11 this week :thumbsup

Hi:

No, the rumor is not true. We are however looking at possible naming rights from other sponsors. Whatever the name happens to become, Alpine Valley will most likely be in the new title. Brian's Amphitheatre at Alpine Valley or something like that. Stay tuned.

Brian

Dude, I looked all over for you this weekend at Phish, but was unsuccessful at actually finding you. :( I did see a Yellow ATV with #2 on it but no #3.
So I definitely saw one kid in the around-the-waist-shacke handcuffs. Sucks to be him. How many people got arrested - or is that top-secret info? ;)

Hi:

Believe me, I was there. My hours were as follows:

Thursday: 1pm-6pm
Friday: 7am-Midnight
Saturday: Midnight-4am...9am-Midnight
Sunday: Midnight-6am

So I got to see the sunrise going home on Sunday morning. I was on ATV #3 complete with red lights and siren, so if you saw someone zipping by, that was me.

Actually, there weren't that many arrests of evictions from the theatre. There were the normal medical incidents and of course the nice drug-induced encounters (such as the man who was tripping on acid and thought he was God), but other than that and some attempted fence jumpers, it was a pretty normal show. Sorry we couldn't meet each other.

Regards,
Brian

[Crumbo]

thanks for all the info Brian:)

rumor has it the green lot uses the same exit as VIP/Premier parking....is this true?

[DMBfan14567]

no doubt, it was a great movie, highly recommend it. especially if you are on the fence about Bush :lol


I'm just more of a fall/spring kinda girl, and I have a lot ot look forward to once this summer is over, so I just want it to BLOW by, I think DMB will aid in that :) :monkey

Wow...that's a lotta work. Glad you made it through unscathed. Someone was tripping on acid? No way! Not at a Phish show! ;) I myself don't touch that stuff but it's sure fun watching other people who do...probably gives you guys something to laugh about later. (You know the Walworth County Sheriff must throw one raging party with all the stuff they confiscate!)

I noticed that despite the huge "NO ANIMALS" signs everywhere there were still a ton of dogs running around the lot, including an actual Timberwolf. I don't mind them (you should've seen how many were running around our friends' farm!) but was kinda wondering how people get them in. (Don't worry - I'm not thinking about bringing mine, I'm just curious.)

Loved all the new signage, by the way. Big. Bright. Well done.

One question - what's up with the bumpy lawn? I figured that since it was the first show of the summer that the lawn would be all nice and smooth and divot-free. Instead I twisted the crap out of my ankle. :( They don't fill in that stuff during the off-season? Makes it hard to dance (which is hard enough what with that incline!).

I'm sure we'll get to meet at DMB since you'll know to swing into the Premier lot where all the cool kids are parking.

[missycor]

:mad: Yikes, I hope not.

:eek: Huh!? I thought that's why we shelled out all the $, so we had a nice, easy exit!?

I got 2nd hand info.....which originally came from someone who was a first time Alpiner....they may have hung out a while after the show causing this to happen

I thought the green lot exited out onto County D not the side road *shrugs*

Hi:

The Premier/VIP lot uses its own road for exit. The key is to get on the road as soon as possible. If you are in Premier/VIP go the aisle and head toward the theatre gates (Gate #1) and then turn left down Pond Rd. You will have the road to yourself (along with the people walking to Green lot, but not any traffic). We can allow Green lot vehicles to exit onto this road, but they are on the road for only about the last 250 feet of it before you go onto the Resort Rd. to exit onto Highway D. Later in the evening as traffic calms down from VIP/Premier, we will begin to use Pond Rd. for other traffic as well.

Brian

Hi:

I will try to make a swing through Premier. Glad you liked the signage as well. The lawn was pretty clam and divot free, but the theatre like most of SE Wisconsin received over 15 inches of rain in the past month which is a ton more than normal and that causes things to settle a bit more than we had hoped.

Brian

[The J2H]

one more, possibly two more shows until i'll be chillin at alpine

[crashintosabine]

I've got Blossom, Atlanta and Riverbend lined up...that should be enough for me to get my fix until Alpine. :)

[The J2H]

i've only got blossom for sure...but i'm looking into Hershey and Riverbend

[The J2H]

i definately have to use the time between Blossom and whenever my next show to 1) earn a little more spending cash, and 2) catch up on my sleep...

[crashintosabine]

Attn folks in the Oshkosh area!!!

We've got a bus with 10-15 open spots yet that's going to the DMB show @ Alpine on Saturday, Aug. 7th. We'll be leaving around 12:30 p.m. to tailgate in the parking lot before hand and returning to Oshkosh after the show. This is a nice charter bus w/ bathroom, radio/tv, etc. Cost will be $35-$40 a person. This is a pro-party bus, 21+ please, BYOB.

PM if interested.

Good news. :) Eddie gave up on reactivating his old Ants account so he finally went ahead and re-registered today!
Now he can (finally) join in all of our merry discussions! :bounce
His username is EddieW33. Be sure to give him a hard time. :p

Hey all, I just posted an article in nDMBc about the arrests this weekend at Phish. You all might find it interesting (or not). :lol

I wish. I'm actually on Butterfield just east of 83 in a 4-story office building.

It's early and my brain is not operating at full capacity. What show did Dave say that Alpine was the bands' favorite place to play? I know it was between '01 and '03. If anyone has the full quote, that would also be helpful. I just don't have my shows with me at work.

Good afternoon Alpine. Damn, all Blossom did for me last night was raise the anticipation level about 200%. :D

good morning Alpiners:)

I'll be drinking Amstel Light during tailgating<-------Alpine content :rolleyes: :p

:monkey

[crashintosabine]

Ok, I have a general Dave question. Is it just me, or does anybody else not have a clue what Dave is saying, Davespeak that is, most of the time at a show? Last night the only thing I could make out was something about an elephant named...Horton maybe?

[crashintosabine]

Oh and yes, those who offered advice regarding my ticket situation, thank you. I got a PM from the guy today - he apologized for not getting back to me and they will be sent this week.

[rapunzelchick]

I rarely understand a single word Dave says. Eddie and I always joke that he sounds like the townspeople in South Park, when they go to the Mayor to complain and "rable, rumble, rable, rumble."

I have NO idea what he says at shows. :lol

Horton the elephant is the star of the Dr. Seuss book, Horton Hears a Who, so maybe he was talking about that?

[crashintosabine]

Horton the elephant is the star of the Dr. Seuss book, Horton Hears a Who, so maybe he was talking about that?


Could be. He went on for a minute or two making crazy sounds and talking about the elephant and what he liked or something. I'll have to listen to the show again and see if I'm even close. :lol

Right at the beginning of the show when they come out on stage, before they play anything.

No rush - just wanted to be sure it didn't get quarantined by my Outlook. :)

I was there when he said that...
I know for a fact Dave made this comment at both the 2002 shows :D
If my memory is correct N1 was when they came on before the first song and N2 was somewhere in the middle.

[rapunzelchick]

If my memory is correct
My memory is almost never correct. :D ;)

[rapunzelchick]

Okay, so here's a wild dream:

Minarets to open Alpine.

I just can't get enough of that song, which may be due to the time I spent living in Israel, when every morning at 5:15 I was awoken by the Moazin literally screaming the Muslim morning prayers from the minaret in East Jerusalem, which was only a few hundred yards from my window.

[mihighdavehead]

Okay, so here's a wild dream:

Minarets to open Alpine.


:thumbsup I would love to see that song anywhere in the Alpine set

N1 Minarets opener
N2 Seek Up opener

I don't have the show with me at work, but it was on 8/31/02, I believe between DDTW and Grey Street. He says something to the effect of "I don't know why, but this is our favorite place to play." Check out your recording, if it's not there, it's between Billies and DDTW.

It think its on the 9-1-02 disc too. I will do some further investigating though to find it.

I'm pretty sure it's the 8.31.02 show after Billies or DDTW. But I could be wrong like everyone else. :monkey

I think it was 7-5-03. I thought I read somewhere though that it was before the set...when he came out to intro the opener.

I don't have 8-31-02. I do have 9-1-02, 7-5-03- and 7-6-03.. Right now listening to 9-1-01, and jumping around to see if he says it.

[mihighdavehead]

I think it was 7-5-03. I thought I read somewhere though that it was before the set...when he came out to intro the opener.
He could have, I was not there :( I only have the show on disc.
I have listened to that show many times and the only reference he makes is when he says "This is a fine establishment" which used to be in my sig until Chicago quote :cool:

[bdb23]

I'm almost sure it's 8.31.02. But I must have taken it out of the car and the 2000-2004 server is down (not bitching :D ). I'll check tonight.

[scizz12]

Ya, Dave says its (Alpine) his favorite place to play before the opening act. Did it at the 8/31/02 and 9/1/02 show and last year 7/5 and 7/6. I'm pretty sure he says it before the opening act.

If anyone is still looking for a place to stay for the Alpine shows I've got one. I have reserved a bed & breakfast for 3 nights and now, because my fiance is pregeant, will not be going to East Troy. I have reserved all 3 rooms in this place and the total cost is $600 for the weekend (Fri nignt, Sat night, Sun night). I feel I should help this business find some occupancy since I dumped them on short notice.
If anyone is interested, call me 989-295-2199
Oh yeah, it is about 2 miles from Alpine Valley.
Thanks,

I have a recommendation: have a tape for your dictaphone that's solely devoted to your hours. That way when you get off the phone, finish a letter, get off WestLaw, whatever, all you have to do is dictate the file name and the hours. That way your secretary or paralegal can just transcribe it and you don't have to worry about all the recreating stuff.

Or you can work for the little people like me on a contingency fee and then you'll never have to record your hours! :rolleyes:

That way your secretary or paralegal can just transcribe it and you don't have to worry about all the recreating stuff.

Or you can work for the little people like me on a contingency fee and then you'll never have to record your hours! :rolleyes:
Not a bad recommendation. I do a mixture of billable and non-billable stuff that it's hard to keep track. I just search our network drive for all the files that were modified in the month and that gives me an idea of what stuff I created (docs) and then I look at the calendar for court hours.

That's better than what my boss does. It is just the 3 of us here - him, his wife (the other assistant) and me. Everytime he does something billable, he barks it out "Melissa! ____ minutes to (client's name)!" It makes me jump nearly every time because it scares me out of my Ants browsing. :lol

I'll be here too.
But if you see me online scream at me because I'm *supposed* to be using it as a serious catch-up day. As in catching up with my work, not catching up with all my Ants buddies. :p

I picked up that handy phrase during my 2 years in the south. Unfortunately, no one else around here says "all y'all" (preferring the "yous guys" Wisconsin form) and I get teased all of the time. :lol

Almost a year ago we were all at Alpine...and in 36 more days we will all be back there again. :)

I was thinking that this morning. WOW, has time raced by.

P.S. - I had to change my avatar in honor of one of the greatest plays I've ever seen. (Chim Chim will be back, though.)

Yea, he's on his way to Omaha now to visit his girlfriend. He mentioned that to me yesterday that he would be stopping at the Kum & Go specifically to get you a lighter. Everyone should have one, really. :D

He's finally on the boards but now he's having trouble setting up his stats. Everytime he clicks "I was there" it asks him to log in again. He's about ready to :BANG.

Absolutely...had a great time last year just sitting around on the blanket waiting for the firworks to go off.

Will be there on Sunday for sure...Jesse Lang is going to be at the Trib stage. Have you heard this band? Heard the band at Famous Dave (Uptown) last week....good stuff
