Official Alpine 2004 Thread

Oy, I don't know...what do you recommend? Or you can just surprise me. :D

Tonight Eddie is coming over and we are officially typing "my list." I've set up a nice little table in Word (I'm the queen of that) and he's going to read the discs to me so I can type them in and then I'll be able to sort it by date and then put them all into my nice, new Case Logic in order. :)

By the way...
:lol :thumbsup
Blah blah blah. Worse than me and Jamon. :D

[rapunzelchick]

all parking lots were clear within 2 hours of the end of the show with about 2/3 of all lots clear within 1 hour of the end of the show.
And the Premier Parking lot?

[rapunzelchick]

Blah blah blah. Worse than me and Jamon. :D
Speaking of blah blah blah....

Tomorrow I'm making my first visit to the Court of Appeals to hear my boss do oral arguments (he he) on an appeal of a post-trial motion that basically overturned a $2million verdict of ours.

[bdb23]

And the Premier Parking lot?
Probably gone in about 30 minutes.

Cool. Know your rights. :D

[alpinevalley]

Probably gone in about 30 minutes.That is about right. Some took up to an hour, but they were enjoying a few beverages before leaving. Those that got to their cars promptly, packed up and left were out pretty quickly.

So my boyfriend's got two of these radio thingys...but he said he'll only let me take one becuase the other has some fancy schmancy GPS system on it and he's afraid I'll loose it (which is highly possible so I don't really blame him).

Is there any point in me having only 1 for Alpine or should I go out and buy a second one to bring?

Are we gonna pick this frequency or whatever before we all hit the road?

(You can tell how comfortable I am with all this technological mumbo jumbo!)

As we get closer to Alpine, anyone that has been there can tell you that cell phone communication is pretty much non-existant. There are 35,000 phones in less than 2 square miles fighting for a fixed amount of lines. We always use FRS or GMRS radios. FRS are cheap, have a 2-3 mile range and there are 15 channels with 38 privacy codes. You do not need an FCC license to operate them. There are several people in this thread already that will be using them in the lots this year, and they can come in handy inside the show as well. For this year's shows we'll be picking a frequency and code along with a backup in case that set is in use.

Here's a good link to some basic info:
http://people.mags.net/boem/FRS.htm

If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

[rapunzelchick]

Cool. Know your rights. :D
You got it!

BTW...have I mentioned that you're my favorite person of the day? Been jamming at my desk all day to 6/20. Thanks so much!

One is all you need, Eddie said he was going to get one as well.

Matthew is going to post the channel info before we head out.

Last year ny gorge tickets were in a different series from my alpine/deer creek tickets, and they came at different times. So I would guess they would be shipped seperate, but who knows, its the warehouse

[EatSleepJeep]

You'll only need one radio. We're bringing two, one for each Jeep. I have two spares that may come along as back ups.

Check this out.... the sunday show... what is the story with this? Are there 3 opening acts? I know that the show starts at 6, but I dont know if that is enough time. I am a big fan of 56 Hope Road and would love to see them again this summer. They have a couple shows up on the internet archive... any ideas?

Question for y'all- (i searched the thread and didn't find this)

It's gonna be my first visit to the Alpine lawn on night one coming up...how early am I going to have to get there to find a decent spot? When the parking lot opens at 1:00?

The lawn is pretty big......depends on what you would define as a good spot.....the parking lot opens at 1pm and the gates open at 4pm....the earlier the better:)

Ouch. Good deal that it's coming off right before Alpine b/c we can't be without my fellow Yellow to Premier ant.

[EatSleepJeep]

Here is an informative picture....Yellow Lot = biggest party in WI that weekend :monkey

Best chance to hit the yellow lot is to be in the far right lane as you turn east on the highway directly outside the venue. And get there early. Maybe we should try to go blue instead on yellow so we can be closer to our Premier friends? Ore we can say "screw 'em."

Glad my map is doing some good.:cool:

It's freakin hot here today. Heat index is 99 degrees. Reminds of muggy alpine in august.:) The jeep still isn't dry from the downpour on sunday, 6 inches of standing water on the floorboards. I have portable humidity.:mad:

[Crumbo]

Hey Matt

Did you get the shirt design figured out so it could go to print? (I know the layout but I think you said you were having some issues)

And when do we get our shirts delivered?

[PilotC150]

Hi Alpiners. I broke my foot yesterday, but I will still be in attendance for Alpine. I should be getting the cast the Thursday before the concert! THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!
So you broke your foot yesterday but their waiting two and half weeks to put a cast on? That's strange.

[TiedUpLikeABaby]

Do you have a design picture??? I may be interested. I'll be there campsite 417 how bout you???

someone has that pic in their sig, ill take a look

Here's what I posted on Nancies for everyone. You don't have much time, but spread the word to everyone you want:

Well folks, the time has come. The 2004 Bong State t-shirts are ready to be ordered.

This year's design is a step up from last year's green and white design. This year's will be a baby blue shirt, and the design will be yellow with a white trim. I've got a picture here in my Yahoo photo album of the front design (http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/thenameisike/detail?.dir=/679e&.dnm=2bfa.jpg). I'm having a couple changes made to this design (I'm a perfectionist with this stuff), but it'll look pretty much just like what's pictured. The design on the back will be small and simple, much like last year's. (a star with the band name, the venue name, and the dates) The quality of these shirts is top-of-the-line too, so no worries about that.

Here's how I need you to take care of this. If you're staying at my group site F, just email me directly. The rest of you who are staying at the other sites, I only want ONE email from each of your sites. I can't handle getting a different order from each individual person. Maybe whoever's name the site is in, that should be the one who emails me. Send the email to ijwhiting@hotmail.com. What do you need to email me, you ask? ALL of the following:

- The names of each person camping
- The size each person needs
- Which site you'll be camping on

Whatever size you order is the size you're going to get. Just know that I cannot be making exchanges once the order has been placed. If you get stuck with an XL and you think you'd fit better in a L, it's up to you to exchange with someone else. Plainly put, once the order has been placed, the order has been placed. I also cannot afford to order any extras, so coordinate with your fellow campers NOW and get this taken care of. YOU HAVE UNTIL NOON CDT THIS FRIDAY JULY 16TH TO EMAIL ME YOUR COMPLETED ORDER. I'm calling the order in that afternoon, so if you can't get it to me by then I'm not going to hunt you down.

The cost of the shirt this year is a whopping $12. Because I'm in no way a rich man, I'm requiring that you pay me right away. You can paypal me the money at ijwhiting@hotmail.com, or you can mail me a check. (email me for my address) I'd like to ask that whomever is emailing me the order be the one who sends the money for the entire group. I'm risking too much to have each and every person send me a check for $12. If you've got 6 people in your group, I expect one payment for a total of $72. Just cover that and have your 5 friends owe you back. I can't possibly keep track of all of that. So help me out by bundling your order with a handful of others, especially those of you at group sites E and F. The bigger the order, the better.

Again, you only have until THIS FRIDAY THE 16TH to gather your sizes and send me your order. Pay me by the end of next week, and I'll be your best friend. Send payments via PayPal or by cash/check in the mail. You can reach me at ijwhiting@hotmail.com.

Hopefully I covered everything. If not, you know how to get a hold of me.

Happy t-shirting!

ike.

As for the Premier's I say screw 'em........ :p j/k guys ;)
I am going early to the lot as I have been waiting to get back to Alpine since 2002. I think we should stay the Yellow lot course because it is the craziest and most fun IMO. I plan on walking over to Premier and hanging for a couple hours with the high and mighty ;) I mean we are going to arrive 6 or 7 hours before DMB takes the stage, we will have plenty of time to kill. Plus we will all be able to communicate via radio.

Did you get the shirt design figured out so it could go to print? (I know the layout but I think you said you were having some issues)

And when do we get our shirts delivered?

A friend had adobe illustrator 10.0, so the design was finished with plenty of time to spare. Artwork went to the printers last friday(8th). They said 14 days maximum for actual production. Factoring in UPS ground shipping times, everybody should have theirm shirts by July 30th at the absolute latest. Except those meeting up with me in the lots.

I don't remmeber this part very well(even though I've been to alpine 7 times) but I think you could set up a rally point on honey creek road or swoboda rd. these are two roads just south of I-43 off highway 120(which is the alpine exit). The county mounties may not allow traffic on those roads though. I'll consult my video tape from last year and see.

Nobody else is an ant. I've got a few first timers, too. I'm sure getting everyone together on Saturday is going to be a fiasco. If so, I'll have my grill, meat, and drinks and can head out on my own.

Sometimes it's fun to bring first timers to Alpine because it's fun to see them get all excited and remember your own first Alpine experience.

Then again, sometimes it's a pain in the ass, especially if someone gets lost in the crowd/lot! The past few years our group has always worn glow bracelets so that we can find one another. Makes it particularly nice on the lawn...if you go get beer you can always find your way back to your friends!

Hey Brian, being that you are familiar with the law, what are these dumb laws these people are telling me about that they don't allow shipping of beer??
Is every state the same? I think I am going to go to a local beer warehouse here and inquire tonight.

Nice....our problem is solved :monkey

Brian, after you check this out let me know when you want to order and I can either send you money or pay you when we get there in three weeks :D
They also take phone orders.

It's $19 a case which isn't too bad. Maybe we only need 2 or 3 cases and the rest of the beer and green apple candy (for the girls) can be bought there.

I think I'll do the phone order for this b/c it says it's "unable to calculate shipping costs" when I try online. I vote to order 2 cases (one for each day). That, combined with some other beer/beverages, should do it.

EDIT: Crumbo is the man. :thumbsup

[liog_dmb]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but why buy Yuengling via the internet when there are plenty of other beers that are just as good, if not better, available near Alpine (try Lakefront Brewery or Sprecher for just two good examples).

Maybe it's my love of hometown beers, and I don't have a problem with it, but it just seems to me that some people are making purchasing beverages a lot more difficult than it has to be.

glad to help you guys out with the beer:)

My buddy Chris is going to be added to the list for night 1....I'm pretty sure he has never been to Alpine and this will be his 3rd DMB show

This now leaves me with an extra ticket for night 2...11th row center....it's a season ticket so it's a little more expensive than your average TM ticket.....if you are in need send me a PM

I come from a very hard-core Bears fan family. Had I been born a boy my name would've been Brian Hallas, as in Picolo and George. (I'm not kidding.) That being said, I was afraid that my father might vote for him just because he worships him as a coach. I asked my dad last night and he said "Hell no, he's not qualified!" Living now in a state that elected a celebrity governor I was glad to hear that.

I've obviously learned my lesson for next tour, but just curious if anyone may have extra reservations or something, or any kind advice?????

Well hello Alpine. :)

I've been MIA for a while, there's been a lotta shit gong on around home that I had to deal with. Also, one of the girls who was supposed to go on the Alpine trip has completed her transformation into Super-Bitch, so I had to deal with that too and explain to her why she's not going with us anymore. Thw two people I agreed to sell some N1 tickets to will get an email in a few minutes, and rapunzelchick, the other ones I have are yours as soon as I get the ones from the guy at AMI. He did respond to my PM about a week or so ago, saying he was sending out the tickets I bought, but I have yet to see them.

Sorry about the delay in getting back to everyone, I just haven't been around and when I was around I was in a crappy mood and didn't venute online too much.

But I decided to say "fuck 'em" to the stupid people in my life, so...viva la Alpine! :D

She will need to contact the WH and let them know the situation. If you are a WH member it should be easy...at any rate the name for pick up needs to be changed to yours. Just have her call them tomorrow.

I would call the WH asap. Most of the time they require the picture ID of the person who ordered the tickets when you get them at the box office. Hopefully they will let you change the name if you explain it to them. Good luck!

I wonder what the stats are when there's a show at AVMT? (I'm sure it differs depending on the show. Like the median age at Jimmy Buffet is probably a bit higher than when Phish is in town.)

No tailgating just gather data for us to analyze come Aug 9th.

[mihighdavehead]

would the elevation increase or decrease consumption? I never would have thought of that :lol
Higher elevation = get drunk quicker :cool:
Lower elevation = more pee breaks :BANG

For example last weekend in Hershey I drank the equivelant of a 12 pack and was buzzed, but not drunk and after the show I was fine to drive. Here in Denver if I drink a 12 pack I might be puking later. another example at the Bristow, VA show I slammed a six pack before going in and I swear all it did was make me have to piss...I didn't feel anything. I am not planning on getting wasted because I will not miss another DMB performance due to being piss drunk (see Denver show last year :haha ) I was just curious so I can plan accordingly.

As we get closer to Alpine, anyone that has been there can tell you that cell phone communication is pretty much non-existant. There are 35,000 phones in less than 2 square miles fighting for a fixed amount of lines. We always use FRS or GMRS radios. FRS are cheap, have a 2-3 mile range and there are 15 channels with 38 privacy codes. You do not need an FCC license to operate them. There are several people in this thread already that will be using them in the lots this year, and they can come in handy inside the show as well. For this year's shows we'll be picking a frequency and code along with a backup in case that set is in use.

Here's a good link to some basic info:

If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
These are the two-ways you can buy at Best Buy, Target, etc., right??? If so, I just picked up a pair of Motorola's with a 5-mile range.

Yup, after the album of that name, which had the logo on the cover.

I know. Amazing how those 80's metal songs do that. It's been running in my head for like the past hour!

Okay, here's a question that might get us to that 3000 (assuming we haven't covered it earlier in the thread)...

What music does everyone plan on playing during our parking lot festivities?

I've got my Marley already in the Murano.

[rapunzelchick]

I've got my Marley already in the Murano.Ziggy or Bob?

Eh, it doesn't matter, they're both awesome! :thumbsup Good call.

You can count me in for some WSP and, of course, GD!

I'd be willing to bet that Eddie will have a decent amount of Beastie Boys.

Bob. I'll probably have some other stuff but I haven't decided yet. Most likely Pearl Jam will be in there.

my brother will love these 3 choices:)

[rapunzelchick]

No, no Country, that's for sure. Crumbo, you might dig WSP because they have a bit more of that metal edge that you like, on top of the hippie jam thing.

I was also considering some RRFB. And I never leave home without some Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.

....hopefully the 2nd day we can listen to my tape of the first night :D
:eek: Is that even technologically possible!?
