[cpandrewschmidt]

are you gonna try to score some tickets for night one still?


You bet, I just have to decide the best way to get them. I have never been closer then about MM or in there. I would really, really like to get close JUST once so I might consider those expensive tickets online. I can just see myself getting screwed by ticketmaster and then I would be out of luck. Guess I will have to see what happens :rolleyes:

Guster is opening at Alpine this year....sweet!
Sweet indeed. Those two nights are gonna be the two best concerts im gonna see this summer. Two incredible bands.

[kgiles21]

[PilotC150]

i was just checking out BFB for sites, so i updated the map. chris, i swear i'm not taking your job! a couple more spots have been reserved. once again, if you have any of the spots taken on the map, let us know...
Ya know what, Jon? Go for it. I hereby relinquish the cartographer duties to you. I really don't have the time this semester.

yeah, i just saw that today

i'm still thinking i might get premier parking for both nights, just to save me a little hassle

if you want to get out of the lot in a timely manner premier parking is the way to go....if you know the right way to get out;)

[The J2H]

i don't necessarily care about getting out quick, but it would be nice

[Aerodmb]

they spelled Dave Matthews wrong on the Alpine page...oh for pete's sake

[crashintosabine]

Yeah, and the Warehouse spelled "Matthews" wrong on the membership package envelopes. I guess "Matthews" must be a tough word to spell. :freak

[ModestMouse2003]

true, last year me and a few others brought out the grill and made burgers. We just sat and chilled and watched the car infront of us move a total of 15feet over 45minutes. hehe

i blew up stuff while we waited to get out the first night...until they took my fireworks from me, those bastards. i'll show them this year!!! :violent

[The J2H]

i really hope i only need one campsite this year

[The J2H]

as of right now, i have 6 people planning on going...let's hope it stays that way!

And i must say, if you manage to get 6 people in one car for a weekend of camping...wow. I had a tough time getting 2 of us in one car last year. Hope you got a big car.

[crashintosabine]

How in the world could you cram six people and all of your camping gear into one car? :ugh:

How do you go about getting season tickets?
Do you have to buy tickets to every Alpine event if you are a season ticket holder?

[Crumbo]

yep.....and you have to fork up all the money up front and it's not cheap....me and my brother split it so we won't have to get rid of any tix:)

I'm bringin fireworks this year, it'll be fun. Good show last year on night one.

How does everyone know that Guster is going to open for DMB? I looked at Ticketmaster because I got no love from WH, and they didn't even have the tour dates for alpine up yet. Anyone know when Ticketmaster will update this, because I want to get chicago tix too?
Thanks

yeah, i cannot deny that sometimes i am a post whore. i'm too lazy to just edit my messages, especially since now they have that Quick Reply dealie. i'll try to not be such a whore in the future:lol
How in the world could you cram six people and all of your camping gear into one car? :ugh:
well i was thinking of either taking my friends van, or possibly borrowing the parent's suburban. but now i just realized that i have to stop in indiana on the way home, so we'll probably end up taking two cars anyhow. so much for me trying to cram us all into one car:lol
i wish i had ur problem. Tim and I cant get 4 people together to road trip. TIght wadded bastards. :mad:
i get lucky once in a while i guess. although, if you remember last year, i managed to scrounge up 12 people to go to BFB with me. not again this year though. that was just too many people, especially since not everyone went to the shows and we didn't see the people who stayed back at camp the entire time. right now i must admit, i only have 5 people confirmed, i'm still greasing the wheels on number six.

[The J2H]

I'm bringin fireworks this year, it'll be fun. Good show last year on night one.
i'm thinking i might just have to bring some more this year. i'll show those bastards who's the boss this year. :evil

[The J2H]

the whore in me is coming out now...although i started out good by have three replies in one post. *pats himself on the back*

anyways, i went to Target today and spent $100 on camping stuff. i'm gonna be all ready to camp and then have to wait 3 months to use any of the stuff, lol. now i have a new tent, sleeping bag, lantern (all courtesy of my gf for my birthday) and i just picked up a tent light, a couple folding chairs, a folding table, an air matress, and my favorite thing since i'm sure it'll come to use at BFB...a new set of rain gear!

EDIT: does 3 posts in 6 minutes still mean i'm a whore??? :lol ;) :p

[mattyande]

I got confirmed for pavillion night 2... I think I've been convinced to stay at BFB too... Hopefully I'll get everything figured out with my friends.

[missycor]

I'm happy. My husband said he'd come to Alpine with me BOTH nights. Yay! :D

[crashintosabine]

Well, we've decided to keep our site at Bong. So, we'll have 7 girls from MI at site 207. Bong neighbors stop by and say hello. :D

I have not one, not two, but THREE 100 Shot Saturn Missile Batteries. These are always a hit, I highly recommend them. I may need some more...I wonder if there's a way to daisy-chain them.

my girlfriend did well and got the Coleman Crestline

here's a picture: My New Tent, Yay! (http://www.coleman.com/coleman/images/products/9277D107_500.jpg)

[PilotC150]

I thought about that one, but we found a pretty sweet one from target that's rather large and isn't very expensive. Hopefully it keeps the rain out.

[ModestMouse2003]

Very Very important. Mini Lake Geneva in your tent= sleep in parents van.

[Aerodmb]

Yeah, and the Warehouse spelled "Matthews" wrong on the membership package envelopes. I guess "Matthews" must be a tough word to spell. :freak

The membership packages? I complete forget about them...haven't recevied mine yet. I'm just happy I have a Warehouse membership card.

...less stickers to paste on my truck I guess.

[dmb_41_sd]

Very Very important. Mini Lake Geneva in your tent= sleep in parents van.

Here's a hint. Dont let the girls that are sleeping in your tent open the tent in the middle of a thunderstorm!! That's for you steve.

Oh, and look for some tent sealer in the camping section of any store, spray this stuff on all the endges, corners, seams, zippers of your tent to help stop water...works like a charm. OH, and do it before you use your tent for the first time, it stinks.

[crashintosabine]

The website doesn't really say...does Bong have firepits? :confused:

Ryan is an idiot and didn't set it up right to begin with. I still can't believe Jessica slept through 1/2 that storm, the girl can sleep like no other

[The J2H]

i've already decided that if this tent doesn't keep the rain out, i'm just gonna grab a pillow and sleep in the rain, because there really is no point of sleeping in a leaking tent when you can just go outside and get the full effect, right?

I'll tell you what...16 out of the last 18 vacations/trips I've been on, it's rained at one point or another. I'll be at Alpine. Chances are, it'll rain.

[Sc00tsSV]

I assume it will rain. When we were at the Gorge last year it rained. I think it was the first rain in a month there. I know we'll get wet at Alpine, oh well :rolleyes:

[bustedstuff]

Hey all!
Driving from Toronto to Alpine this year, never been so I wonder who can hook me up with some details...First, how far drive is it from Chicago? and 2nd, how from is Chicago from Detroit? I was thinking of driving down the friday and staying near alpine the fri nite till sun nite then head home Monday sometime...what is the best place to camp at as well, that is close? anyone have a preference? What is the most lienent place to camp at as well?
Thanks in Advance!

some new alpiner is bound to take that bet :lol

with our luck though, it won't rain at all, but it'll be 150 degrees so we'll all be wishing it was raining

i just found a few new campgrounds for those who are still looking:
Country View Campground (http://www.wisconsincampgrounds.com/cgi-bin/directory.pl?ID=603)

I'll guarantee that it rains*

I always come home from Alpine soaked. No doors & no top; While soaking wet I laugh at the people trying to stay dry, I don't have a chance. They laugh at the idiot driving in the rain with no top. At least we all get a good laugh.

:angel Just as long as the lightning stays away from the lot this year...

*Guarantee not guaranteed.

[IlliniGal]

can you say "par-tay"?

the house is huge...6 bedrooms and a converted basement...and if i wasnt scared to death of being beaten for inviting a bunch of strangers over, we would SO be there.

i remember that. We were at potholes, and all of the sudden i hear rain. It was funny b/c 4 of my friends who just got in that night decided to crash outside b/c they didnt want to set up the tent. Sure enough it starts raining.

[MelissaDMBfan]

Ok I feel like I am losing my mind. I check dmb.com earlier today to double check the onsale date for Alpine, and I could of sworn that it said March 27th (tomorrow) but now I looked again and it says April 3rd.

anyone else notice this? or am I really losing my mind.

[crashintosabine]

Yeah, I think it might have been March 27, because the April 3rd date threw me off too.

[MelissaDMBfan]

Yeah, I think it might have been March 27, because the April 3rd date threw me off too.
Thank God its not just me! I already have tickets from the warehouse, but want to try and get pavillion seats for the second night.

[crashintosabine]

That was our plan too. We need to pick up a few pavillion seats for night one.

[PilotC150]

I'm pretty sure Alpine was always April 3rd.

[ModestMouse2003]

i just noticed that cool little green light.

and since its 3am, why are you still on CHris?

I just got home, we're having a hockey weekend. The NCAA regionals started so we're watching hockey all weekend to find out if we get to go to Boston (for free) or not.

I'm certain that the Freakin' Sioux will fall to the Gophers. Don't get your hopes up.

Do you remember when UofM would travel to UND and the ND fans would throw dead, frozen gophers on the ice? Pretty funny stuff, except that they wouldn't let us throw dead sioux on the ice in the Twin Cities...

[raven rr]

QUICK QUESTION:
i was all set on which shows i was going to this summer.... but this morning i found some pretty cheap airfare into milwaukee. so now i'm thinking about trying to squeeze in alpine valley this summer too. about how far is alpine valley from milwaukee? and do/are a lot of people coming in through that airport to go to the shows?

Haha, looks like both und and minnesota were a little cocky this year. It didnt even make it to UND/MINN. Another dissapointing end this year, wouldnt you say so chris?

Back on the alpine thread:

Milwaukee is definately closer to alpine than chicago. I'm sure some people are flying in for these shows, just gotta get them to speak up.

Yea, just a little. :(

And really, there wasn't anything they did wrong, except not score. You can't blame the goalie, you can't blame the d-men, and you can't blame the forwards for not trying. They just got a good clear shot at our net, and we never got one into theirs. Life goes on, and I'd put money on the fact that both Zach and Bo will be back next year. I guess we'll just have to continue the rivalry next october.

[crashintosabine]

The website doesn't really say...does Bong have firepits? :confused:


anyone?

[EatSleepJeep]

anyone?
Bong does not have fire pits. They have those metal grates that stick about 12" above the ground. Your fire will be at ground level. Does this help?


I will now remove my foot from my mouth and return y'all to your regularly scheduled thread. Stupid Gophers. G'damn UMD.

Yes, thank you. We just wanted to know if we were going to be able to have some kind of fire. I mean, smores just aren't the same when cooked over a propane grill. ;)

Just west of Bong on Hwy 142 on the way to Burlington there will be a hand painted sign for firewood. Head south to a farm on the west side of the road. He has a great rate on firewood. We filled up the whole rear end of my old Ford Exploder for about $15.

[mattyande]

Bong has people selling firewood at the park too. It isn't as cheap as a truckload for $15, but I think we paid like $5 for two bundles.

[crashintosabine]

I heard from plenty of people that lawn won't be a problem. We're going to try and better our seats for night one through TM, so we may have some WH lawn that we'll need to sell. I'll shoot you a PM this weekend and let you know if we have any extras. We can always work something out later this spring when you have the extra $$ if you want. :)

The hardest partiers usually arrive the earliest and end up in the lots closest to the ampitheater (and then don't have to walk down that godforsaken hill!) but they're ALL a big giant party. There's really so such thing as a lame lot at Alpine....the party's as crazy as you make it! :p

.

the blue, red and yellow lot are closest to the venue but the hardest to get out of after the show......the green lot is the a hike to the venue but the easiest to get out of after the show

[crashintosabine]

How are they about making you pack up and move out after the show? I mean, do they let you just hang out and tailgate until the majority of the traffic clears out?

[rapunzelchick]

In 4 years @ Alpine I have never had anyone ask us to pack up and leave after the show. Mind you, I've never tried staying more than 3 hours so I might not be the best judge. The traffic outbound takes at least that long to clear though.

[missycor]

My husband and I didn't leave last year until well after 12:00. No one was pushing us out or bothering us, and there were still lots of folks dancing, grilling, and hanging out.

[crashintosabine]

That's cool. There's a venue here in Michigan that we've actually had the parking lot "security" insist that we wait inside our cars until traffic cleared.

Hi All:

You are right on the parking lots, but you may not have a choice of where you can park. We vary the traffic to the different lots based on traffic flow, etc. Keep your fingers crossed. See my posts in the general discussion thread titled, "Hello From Alpine Valley" for more details.

Regards,
Brian

[alpinevalley]

How are they about making you pack up and move out after the show? I mean, do they let you just hang out and tailgate until the majority of the traffic clears out?
We do like to have the lots cleared as soon as possible, but realize that having 12,000 cars leaving at once is a tough thing to do. We will start telling people to pack up things within a reasonable amount of time after the show ends. Once traffic begins to clear, please help us by starting to pack your things, etc. For your safety, please stay either inside or close to your vehicles at all times. We don't want anyone getting hurt.

Regards,
Brian

Is there a map to people staying at Bong...one like the BFB map? Or are there not enough people staying there to actually make a map? :)

I never saw that. Cool, thanks. My group doesn't have any neighbors on that list yet though. :cool:

[EatSleepJeep]

that sucks...

did you get plowed, or did you do the plowing, or were you just stuck in traffic?No, my charcoal just got wet while stuck in traffic. Which means we had to beg individual briquets off our neighbors. Plus, it's hard to keep one's foot from slipping off the clutch with 6 inches of water in the Jeep. I was dry by showtime.

[PilotC150]

Well, I got my tickets. We went for night 2 first and got section Section 201 AA 63-65. (Not bad, just 2 rows back of last year and 5 seats closer in, so about the same view). Then we went for night 1 and could only get lawn. THAT sucked. Hopefully I can find somebody that got better seats through TMaster than they did through the warehouse. I just don't wanna sit on a muddy hill. Although the sound is amazing throughout that whole place so that's not really a worry of mine. I'm just angry they put alpine tickets for sale on a totally different day than all the rest of the shows.

[missycor]

Fuckity fuck fuck! :mad: I just got shut out by Ticketmaster for night 1. Grrrrr. I'm hoping I'll get lucky with someone here. <sigh> I'm pretty happy with my seats for night 2 though. I'm too short to be on the floor, so the next section works for me.

[cpandrewschmidt]

Went for night one, was able to get secton 203 row T, closer than i have ever been so i am happy. Now I just hope warehouse game me some good ones for night 2!!! :)

You could still get lawn as of 10:15 for night one

[mattyande]

All I got offered was obstructed view seats, and I passed on those. Lawn for night 1.

Matt

[dmb_41_sd]

I got section 203 row BB for night one, didnt catch the seats. Tried out of curiousity for night 2 and got lawn.

[missycor]

I'm 31 years old, and that is too old for lawn. ;) :lol My husband isn't a DMB fan, and won't go with me unless I get reserved, thus the necessity for reserved seats. Thanks, though.

[Tbone328]

I got sec 202 row AA seat 152 for night 1, then the rest is up to the warehouse

[Play_Like_Fonz]

I got lawn tickets second night. How good is the lawn?

[IrishDMBF]

I had first night lawn last year and it was amazing!!!!
Great lawn great atmosphere

[mihighdavehead]

These tickets went fast this morning.
Best I could get for night 2 was section 203 row NN. :mad:
Oh well, I'm in the building. This is going to be a great summer!!

[Play_Like_Fonz]

Can you still see? I've only gotten reserved in the past. Hey, atleast I got a ticket tho.

[PilotC150]

Yes, I'm pretty sure you can still see, plus once the sun gets low they turn the big screens on. The sound fills that place anyway, but if you are more worried about SEEING the band than HEARING the band, then you might be a bit disappointed.

[Crumbo]

I got sec 202 row AA seat 152 for night 1, then the rest is up to the warehouse

I sat in that section and row last year night 2.....awesome view....you'll enjoy it

for people with lawn seats....just line up early to get in and go for the center section of the lawn in the first half and you can see fine

How early you talking about? Sorry bout all the questions, I'm new to alpine and was sick of tweeter center.

I think the show starts at 6pm.....I would line up sometimes between 4-4:30pm

[PilotC150]

The gate will probably be open before 4:00 (at least I think it would be). So lines might start forming around 2:00. I don't know for sure though. Just something to look into. I'm sure are people on here that have been in the lawn before.

got lawn seats for night one...this is gonna be my first show so i am really excited...im not sure ill be able to wait till august 7...but i dont have a choice...im pumped

[crashintosabine]

Well, we managed to get a pair in sec. 202, Row PP for N1 and then sec. 101 row H for N2. Not too shabby...I had expected to get shut out altogether.

You did really well, did you call or do go online?

[crashintosabine]

You did really well, did you call or do go online?

I was online and got N1, my friend was online and got the N2. We've always found it best to team up in pairs over the phone while we're online. One of my others friends got shut out altogether because she didn't know that if you just keep refreshing like crazy, TM will lock you out of the site.

I'm just happy we got what we needed, because we have a group of 7-8 going.

[JmoneyDMB]

I was happy with my seats, I pulled sec. 203 row T for night 2, closest I've ever been at Alpine before was 203, AA. I'm hoping that the warehouse pulls through with good night 1 tickets for me.

[PilotC150]

Now all I gotta do is save up my money to get a new tent. That's about all (except for gas and food) that I have left to buy.

[crashintosabine]

We need a new tent too. That damn wind at the Gorge beat the shit out of our tent last year. It broke poles...messed the whole tent up.

[dmb_41_sd]

We need a new tent too. That damn wind at the Gorge beat the shit out of our tent last year. It broke poles...messed the whole tent up.

I have a small one that is unbreakable i swear. But I think i'm in the market for a new tent too. Definately need new sleeping bags.

[PilotC150]

we got new sleeping bags last year. They're awesome.

[MelissaDMBfan]

Night 2 I got section 201 Row GG. Much better then the lawn seats the warehouse gave me :)

[crashintosabine]

Actually, a lot more people got pavillion seats than I thought would. I expected everyone to basically get shut out.

[dmb_41_sd]

You had to be on your toes though. If you blinked you missed out. I tried to get 2 sets of tickets back to back and i didnt have any luck.

Alright I just checked hotel availability in the Alpine area and there is none unless you want to stay at a 200 dollar resort. So does anybody know of any hotels in the area that may not be on orbitz or travelocity. The closest hotel i have available is 45 minutes away.

Just camp instead.

Hotels go quite fast. People like me made reservations when the 2004 tour dates rumor thread started, and then changed them the hour the real dates went up. I assume you're talking about Lake Lawn resort in Delavan on the $200/night. They don't take too kindly to the concert crowds. You'll be best off camping; otherwise, Waukesha or Beloit are going to be your destinations..

[arizonalovesyou]

I got reserved both nights.

Night 1 - Sec. 202 Row PP Seats 100-101
Night 2 - Sec. 201 Row DD Seats 45-47

I am excited. I am planning on driving up there early (about 5 am) to the show from STL, and might stay at a motel or camp... plans are unknown so far.

[crashintosabine]

Night 1 - Sec. 202 Row PP Seats 100-101


Hey, we have a couple in Sec 202, PP seats 134-135. See you there :D

I know 101 Row H sounds good but its actually not if your seat numbers are past 20!!! You are completely off to the side of the stage and can't see anything. I sat there for night 2 last year and couldn't see a thing....it also could have been that there were an enormous amount of 7ft guys between me and the stage!!!
......BUT MY ADVICE......try for different tix!!!!!!

I agree. Last year Night 1 I was section 201 Row MM seat 89 and 91, and they were more towards the left then in the center. It wasn't that bad, but not the greatest either.

[missycor]

I know, my seats are 203 Z, 90 & 92. We're going to be WAY right. But at least I'm in on Sunday, so I'm not complaining.

[jeffrey13]

I have been gone for a while and have a couple questions if anyone could help me out. Lawn seats are just general admission and standing is first come first serve, or is there an actual place I have to stand? Next, where is the best place to camp? My buddy and I want to camp, but I dont know which place is the best. I am sure these topics have been discussed before, but thanks to all that can help me out.

The lawn is general admission. First come first serve. People will get there VERY early to get to the front of the lawn.

I don't know anything about the camping though.

[crashintosabine]

Hey, did anyone ever hear if the all of the WH lawn tickets were in the special WH corral, or just some of them?

And yeah, I did see on the map that 101 H is waaay to the side. We're gonna work to do something about that.

[Yesac820]

So how early is everyone who has lawn tickets gonna be there?

[PilotC150]

Why is this thread so slow?

[dmb_41_sd]

Why is this thread so slow?

I wish I knew. It's nothing compared to last year. What I think is funny is that the spac thread is keeping up with the gorge and alpine threads. THERE IS NO SPAC SHOW!

[Crumbo]

there will a SPAC show once the festival falls through

I think this thread will pick uo once the tour starts:)

[PilotC150]

It's cuz the people in NY are using it for plain old conversation i'm sure, while once again, the Alpine thread proves to stay on topic. Just like last year.

Yeah. Get there early and tailgate, then just leave your tailgate as soon as you know the gates open. I camped at Big Foot Beach last year and it was awesome. A lot of people suggest Bong Recreation too.

I think that's a good thing. :) There a many, many conversation threads around here.

Our Council's Girl Scout camp is just about 5 miles from Alpine. I've been toying with the idea of booking it for 2005 and inviting a bunch of Ants to camp there. It has a lodge, tents, bathroom, kitchen, etc. What do you all think?

Where are your tickets this year?

[reilly6491]

Hey guys. I havent been on my computer since Saturday so I got my Ticketmaster confirmation e-mail. The thing is the seats that they said were mine for Alpine night 2 were totally different from the confirmation sheet I saved on my computer. What should I do?

[PilotC150]

I'm assuming they say you have worse seats than you had before.

Just call them with all the numbers (order, confirmation, and any other) and see what they tell you.

[reilly6491]

I'm assuming they say you have worse seats than you had before.

Just call them with all the numbers (order, confirmation, and any other) and see what they tell you.Yea its really weird considering I have a confirmation saved on my computer that says the tickets that I bought were Sec. 201 row BB and now they are saying I have sec. 203 row GG. I know its only like 5 rows back and on the right side instead of the left, but cmon why would they change that like that?

[dmb_41_sd]

Where are your tickets this year?

I'll be a row behind you night 1 but alllllllll the way to the end, the far end. My seats are 102 and 104 in row BB in 203. Not too happy about that. We'll see about night 2 once the wh releases thier seat info.

[watchtower02]

what's the deal with the cops in the lot at alpine...last year we all got tickets there for underage drinking by some undercover narcs??? where should we camp at, BFB???

but anyways,

Chris- i dont know where my ticekts are. SPeaking of which, any idea on seat locations?

[dmb_41_sd]

I never knew they did that, first i've heard of it. Ah well, you gotta be a little smart about it and lucky too I guess. If you wanna drink dont stay at BFB, they dont allow alcohol. Look for private campgrounds if you're a minor.

[EatSleepJeep]

what's the deal with the cops in the lot at alpine...last year we all got tickets there for underage drinking by some undercover narcs??? where should we camp at, BFB???
There has to be some resemblance of control and order, I guess. I have some funny camcorder footage of uniformed deputies cracking down and dumping some Coronas. The expression on this guys' face is incredible. The county mounties have to make some serious cash off Alpine concerts, a huge source of revenue to compensate for the pain the locals have to endure.

[The J2H]

here's to hoping seat locations arrive soon

[dmb_41_sd]

here's to hoping seat locations arrive soon

No kidding. I wish the WH would have never said in that e-mail that they were trying to get seat locations out in the next few weeks and just surprised us all sometime. That would have been better, but now I'm sittin here waiting, not so patiently, for my seats. :BANG

[PilotC150]

Sorry Tim, my seat locations were mixed up. We actually have reserved for Night 2 and lawn for night 1. Whoops, I'm gonna fix that now.

I'm pretty sure DMB has the final say as to whether or not taping equipment will be allowed into the venue. I think that it's listed as a general rule just because. I'm very sure we'll see mic stands among us again this year @ alpine.

well said :thumbsup

[EatSleepJeep]

I know I shouldn't get worked up, but I remember at Soldier Field when a security guard told a taper that the taper wasn't going in with recording equipment, and about 40 people around us blew up on this security goon. They finally let him in after quite some bickering. I just dislike hassles like that...

But these sheets are supposed to be artist/show specific.

Until we get further clearance and our security advance from the band, we post the more restrictive items out on our site to avoid dissappointment. So, as of now, there is not taping allowed. This may change once we get the final security advance from the band, but the premilinary advance we received stated "No Cameras or Recorders." If and when "No Taping" changes to "Taping Permitted", it will be updated on our website and on our voice mail system.

unfortunately, that requires common sense, which many people that anyone encounters at a show lack. if they're dumb enough to risk it, if they get caught they it's their own fault...

i'm all for having a good time, but there just are some people who shouldn't be drinking, many of them underage, but just as many are over 21. sorry, if i'm getting on a soapbox, but there's only so much drunken stupidity i can take before i start to get pissed. go to the show, enjoy it, then go home and get shitfaced so i don't have to deal with you when i'm trying to have a good time.

:thumbsup Amen to that, bro! The only thing I DON'T like about this band's community is the overabundance of druken stupidity. It seems like the lot scene at other band's shows are way more chill and laid back and way less drunken craziness.

First night of Alpine last year the guys behind us spent the whole show yelling "Hey, Dave! I'm wasted!" Like the band or any of us around you care. To make matters worse, right at the high-point of Last Stop one of them puked so much that it literally splattered onto the back of my legs.

And fill in Aug. 7 on the second of the two date options (the top one should have today's date)...

Just an FYI... :)

This site tells exactly how many rows are in what part of which section:
http://www.ticketservice.com/html/alpine.html

And on the official Alpine page it tells you where the seat numbers start.
http://www.alpinevalleymusic.com/theatre.asp#3Hi All:

The ticketing website is not exactly correct on the seat numbers and locations. I am in the process of disciphering the Ticketmaster maps of the seats available and we will be doing a new seating map of the theatre for Alpine soon. In addition, once the weather warms up a bit and our winter roof repairs are done, we are going to be taking a ton of pictures and create an interactive seating map for the website that will allow you to mouseover certain rows and sections and actually see what your view of the stage is from the seats. It should be pretty cool and help everyone figure out exactly if their seats are good or bad. I would appreciate any feedback on this new feature and what you would find valuable, so if you have suggestions, drop me an e-mail at: brian@alpinestaff.com.

Thanks,
Brian, Security Manager

I second that!

[beaufordrummer]

Sorry everyone, i couldn't stand looking through the other one, it was a nuissance. WHose makin the run and where are you stayin at?

Count me in at BFB, and i think i can vouch for a few more South Dakotans too.
I'll be at BFB with a bunch of people. I think i got at least 6 of my buds comin w/ me. Last year only one guy came with me, but i took a video of the whole weekend(minus the actual show) showing how great it was and now everyone wants to go. If any of you saw me last year, i was running around th parking lot after night one with my camcorder.

ive got a couple dudes and a chick who want to go to Washington in September. Thatd be nice and we could drive one car and camp at the gorge and save lots of $$.

oh yea, im back in rapid now dude, gimme a call if u want to talk about this summer or do somethin.

P.S. i know this has nothing to do with ALpine, so you can all just shut it. :D

[Snowdog]

i want to go to Chi Town too, along with IN, and maybe OH, but its hard finding weird people like myself to drive 16+hrs to see a band


I am with ya, I love taking DMB road trips. I live in Illinois and last year I drove to Bristow, VA saw DAVE!! Then drove to Virginia Beach, VA saw DAVE!!!! Then the Hurrican came...Drove to Antioc, TN....yep you Guessed it saw DAVE!!!!

That was a nice road trip!! Lot of driving!!

Hard to find people to go with...I went with my girl friend we usually take a roadtrip every year....but we broke up a couple of months ago....now I have no one to go with!! DAMN IT!! :twak
