Hell, call'em and ask them when people ususally arrive, I would think they'd know....

[dayasha]

no longer a situation. I am now selling my pavilion seat for night 2 of alpine. Section 201 PP, price is face value plus all charges and shipping fees (unless you want to meet me in chicago on thursday or friday to exchange). Talk to me!

Hey Alpiners, I've really been neglecting this thread....work:(

Directions printed - check
Weather forecast - check (decent)
Alpine shirt - Check (btw THANKS Matthew!! They look great)
Agenda - Start shopping tomorrow for food!

:monkey

[watchtower02]

so the weather looks like it may not even rain this year....20% chance of rain saturday and 30% chance sunday...

[Yesac820]

Note to self...Gotta go shopping today for some food.

Good, then we can expect to be lightning free this year.

[mplsbartender]

When will you all be getting there? We have 5 people too! We are planning on leaving early on Friday morning. Do you think that is early enough? I always start to get paranoid about it every year.
Thankfully we have a reserved spot. I called mine in even before they were open for the season.

When I call this week to confirm my spot, they have an outgoing message about "First Come first serve lot" saying that you should be your wristband my Thursday midnight....that seems a little early to me...

I'm really not sure what the sit. is there...as I have never been. If you leave Friday AM and head right there -- i think you should be good. We are headed out of the cities early Saturday.

Hey ya'll. Sorry that this is of topic...

More Minnesotans...Hooray! :bounce
We'll be departing my place on Grand Ave. at 7:30 a.m. SHARP, stopping for Caribou and Bruegger's and then hopefully be on 94 no later than 8:00.
Just remembered - better call the hotel for directions. Duh. :freak

[mihighdavehead]

so are we still planning on a setlist pool???

entries to be submitted to whom??and where??

[EatSleepJeep]

yeah I might have to make my first and last trip to Iowa to see the boys:p
no offense Matthew...

once again Denver gets the shaft :BANG


:monkey <----Rock the vote
Y'all more than welcome to come. Hilton is a great venue for indoor shows.

I'm a Minnesotan.

Iowa, just don't insult it with food in your mouth.

[EatSleepJeep]

Warehouse tix for Hilton 10/6 are ordered. Good times.

[bdb23]

Busy morning guys.

I think I'm going to do the Dayton show on 10/2 then head up to Grand Rapids to see the Pearl Jam show on 10/3. It's a weekend thing and it would be easier on the job situation.

[mattiegirl]

Good question.

As I said, I'm not the person who should handle statistics because the only thing I'm worse at than computers is math!

However, I'm certainly willing to help with collecting submissions. We'll have the green shade tent that would be easy for people to spot. And, of course, we'll also have the big stuffed monkey. :)

Any ideas?

[JanelleM]

Hey Jen, do you go to ASU?
I used to, right now I am working though. Great school, not really academically renowned, but fun noetheless. Why what's up?

your ass better be there early then ;)

you should sell your lawns so you can tailgate 'til six or seven with the rest of us :p j/k

:monkey

I promise I'll be there as early as possible. Leaving here 7:30 so should be no problem.

We still need to decide on the specifics of the pool. I don't think we ever reached a consensus on the cost, point system, etc. Anyone?

I wish! Believe me, if I could get a hold of 4 Pavillion tix for Sat. night I would sell those lawn seats in a flash!

[Obsessor Of 41]

Quick ya'll, what is the tightest camp ground to be at that still has room? I'm talking the place to partaay.

EDIT: Found it

:thumbsup Nice. You're a Whore and a fifth! :D

For recognition purposes here are some pics:

The first one is me on the left, Eddie behind me and Eddie's girlfriend, Rachel on the right. Eddie's got a beard now. That was the lot at Alpine last year N1.

The second one is Sarah and her daughter, Amanda. Sarah's hair is shorter now but you get the idea.

The third one is Aimee, a picture from my phone. I think we were on our way down to Chicago for D+F 12/22/03. I don't know why she's sticking out her tounge but I'd like to reiterate her blow job for backstage pass promise.

Yeah, thursday night does seem a little early. Every year we have gotten there the day before the first show and there are only a few people already there. Guess i'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope it all works out! Im still nervous tho. I should have just reserved. Damn.

Wait till you meet Aimee. Like I said she's younger and gravity hasn't hit her as hard yet.

How on earth does Melissa handle your boob obession? Kevin just about had a fit when I said I reached "whore" status on the boards becuase he didn't understand what that meant and was all worried that I was *literally* whoring it up with my online buddies.

:monkey <---"Get to work, WB! You've accomplished very little today!"

It's something about women in those hats with their tongues out that gets me. :D Melissa is okay with the boobs obsession provided I stay within my bounds. ;) Whore is such the wrong term for what we do in this thread. We should think of something different to call us.

So wait, all I have to do is promise her a backstage pass? OK!

Or is that her promise you are refering to? I'm so confused.:lol

Yup, he does.

Speaking of Crumbo...I wonder what he's doing right now. Do you think he's already in the lot? I don't know anything about that venue or what it's like. What debut will he get tonight?

Setlist watchers for Alpine....poor bastards! I can't think of a more depressing way to spend my weekend than watching the real-time setlist for an Alpine show that I'm not at. Ick. I shudder at the thought.

[EatSleepJeep]

If everyone from the Alpine thread is physically at Alpine and, I presume, without a laptop, who will be posting?All the people playing the setlist game and watching the live setlist updates will. The actual show will rival the traffic we've been putting up in here recently.

Let's request that they make an Alpine set watchers thread instead to preserve our integrity. It will get our post count quite high though.

Are any of you guys playing the setlist game here at ants? If you are, how are you guys going to make a setlist for night 2? are you just going to make it before you leave and hope you made good choices for night 2 with few repeats? I don't know about you guys but I'm in 7th overall right now and it's pretty important to me to get a good setlist in for Night 2 to keep my spot up. I don't suppose anyone knows if the Country Inn and Suites has internet access?

I just got done making picks for tonight, tomorrow, and this weekend (both shows)....whew I'm tired. If the Sheraton has internet access I will probably change N2 picks.

If not...oh well...I'm not ranked as high as you are....I am in 117th place :BANG and that's with not picking for 4 shows

out of our minds? As if there is any doubt.

Once again, I log on to have to read 1 1/2 pages of posts, and I am laughing it up again! Alpine is getting so close, I can't wait! As far as listening to Alpine shows - I will probably throw in 6/26/99 & 7/5/03 the next two days - but I am still working on the new songs. As soon as I really get into one of the songs, another one jumps out at me. Whatever! Can't wait to hear them this weekend - along with Proudest :monkey !!!

What's up all? 4 days left for me, but looking forward to meeting up with as many of you as possible... Feel free to contact me privately for info. and we'll see if we can hookup. Will be tailgating in the premier lot regardless, so stop by for a beer!

Also stop by the inappropriate signs thread -- I'm slaying them over there today!

What time do you guys think Guster's set will start at?

[IL Mikey]

What time do you guys think Guster's set will start at?
Guessing, but Jem will probably get 25-30 minutes (I've seen her, don't waste your time, IMHO.), assuming she starts close to 6 and figuring 15 min. for equipment change, I'd say 6:45 or 7.

It doesn't say so on the offical site, but according to the Reserve America (the site that you actually make the reservations on) there are showers. The map shows that just about each little loop has its own bathrooms and showers.

[bdb23]

Crumbo's getting a decent setlist tonight... DDTW, DIDO, Seek Up, mid-set Ants. :thumbsup

[Yesac820]

Anyone else upset seeing Seek up on the set tonight... That makes it alot more likely that we wont see it at alpine.

[ianseramur]

i thought that since they played Seek Up tonight...that it makes it more likely that they'll play it at alpine....

they probably won't play it tomorrow...and then there's 2 shows where they can play it.

I'm just scared about BOWA.....where the hell has that song gone???

No idea where BOWA went... That was awesome to see that on the sets early on. Also, Recently better make an appearance! Really looking forward to that song. Heck, its been stuck in my head for 3 days now.

They usually take bigger gaps between playing seek up though, so lets hope for Alpine night two.

[ShAdOwFaX]

my friend is letting me trade him my lawn ticket for one of his pavillion seats b/c he needs someone to sit with. I am pretty happy to sit at the pavillion 1 night and then lawn it up the other night :)

[mihighdavehead]

Alright y'all.....last post time for me. Flying out in the morning.

I will see all the TripleGonzoLocos at the previously discusssed secret meeting spot :cool:

Everyone have a safe trip to the bands "favorite place to play y'all"

Group photo must happen one or both nights. :thumbsup

Setlist pool is on and WB is collecting entries in the Premier lot.

Can't wait to be a part of the biggest DMB party since CP :cool:

Bring lots of goodies and beverages so we can have a goood good time. :D

Seek Up, Say Goodbye, Stir It Up, The Last Stop, Lover Lay Down, and You Never Know......deliver and debut one or all of them.

I look forward to meeting all the lurkers and regulars.

Peace.

I'm also hoping for some/a debut, maybe bef or typical or last stop would be cool

shit im sure u can just follow someone, or ask us if you see us there. we'll help u

[missycor]

To everyone who is hitting the road, be safe! I'm taking the awesome Bowers Road exit today, to take my daughter to camp. I'll be itching to turn right towards Alpine instead of left towards camp. :)

[DMBfan14567]

hell yeah, in 12 hours I'll be on the train on my way out there! :thumbsup

[rapunzelchick]

Crumbo's getting a decent setlist tonight... DDTW, DIDO, Seek Up, mid-set Ants. :thumbsup
Text message from him at 9:02 p.m. simply said "Wowed"


I'm floored by DDTW followed by DIDO - those are my two favorite of what Eddie and I call "screaming songs." Dave's voice must be in good shape!


No Proudest Mokney yet...he must be saving it for us! :)

That would be Ann Arbor, home of the the Big House. Go Blue! :D

That would be Ann Arbor, home of the the Big House. Go Blue! :D
And that's one Big House. Has anyone ever been there before? I went to the Ohio State Michigan game last year, 107,518 poeple, that is quite a sea of Maize and Blue.

Man, Eddie will kill me when he reads that I didn't know that (he's a huge Michigan fan). I really thought it was yellow and blue. Eh, what do I know? I live in the land of Maroon and Gold. :rolleyes: :p :D

I've never been to a football game in the Big House, though I'd love to. I did go to a Michigan hockey game once but I was so drunk I remember very little. I recall alot of scraming about funnels and black holes.

Here's some of the pictures I took from the Michigan/OSU game last season. That place is amazing...110 thousand people going absolutely nuts. I love it! :D

Hey all, so I have a little bit of a problem. I have a hotel room I can't use and they won't let me cancle it this late. If anyone needs a place to stay for Alpine, please e-mail me at strauss2@andrew.cmu.edu and I can transfer the room. The reservation is for Aug 6-9th .

Every one of michigan hockey's game's that I have been to I don't remember much either.

I was there for the Purdue Mich game and there was the largest crowd televised that day or somethin, 112 thousand. I had to sit in the student section for the game, and being from Purdue got hit with all kinds of shit. It sucked.

WB - I am (dramtic pause) disappoited in you. :BANG :BANG You have com ea long way in the sports world, and you have impressed me many a time - but Maize and blue!!??!?!?!?!?! C"MON!!!

OK, I am glad to see it only took like six or seven posts to get off the sports chatter...We WILL get Seek Up, Pig, Stone, DDTW, DIDO - new songs - but will he pull out a "new" song? I would love that, not to mention a crazy fun cover. Well, it is sooooo close, gonna finalize shopping this afternoon and tomorrow night (midnight run to grocery store!). Keep on chatting! :)

[SnoKid]

I am off to Chi-town until Friday. I hope everyone has a safe journey to the show, and don't, for the love of god man, don't get pulled over for something stupid. We all need to get there and jam out liek there was no tomorrow.

I will be looking for the big Monkey and green tarp. Soo all the fellow Ant's there.

[EddieW33]

Chirp...Chirp...Chirp...

We are two days away, I guess everyone must be on their way! Well, I am still stuck working until Friday afternoon, so let's keep up the chat!

We are soooooo close to 5,000 posts - we can do it!

damnit work needs to END NOW!

[LovinDmb]

Any of you guys leaving tomorrow? or are most of you getting there on Sat morning?

[Obsessor Of 41]

I'm leaving Saturday morning from St. Louis. I can't quite remember from last year, but what is Alpine's stance on alcohol in the parking lots? Do they not mind?

[crashintosabine]

We're leaving early-squirrly Saturday morning from the Detroit area. It's almost here........ :monkey :bounce :multi :bounce :monkey

[Obsessor Of 41]

Does anyone else agree that Night 1 will begin with Seek Up? I think it is the ethical thing to do, and they played it last night, and I just have a feeling. Agreed? Good.

[krzr56]

I'm leaving Saturday morning from St. Louis. I can't quite remember from last year, but what is Alpine's stance on alcohol in the parking lots? Do they not mind?

They don't mind, but they will come around and card people. Saw a bunch of kids get minor cunsumption tix. PS: I talked to a guy from work who went to the dead show at alpine last week and was told there were lots of undercover cops at the show dressed like crowd people and if anyone was doing things they are't supposed to they got cuffed. I was also told that the cops were coming up to cars and checking the people out. So best to just keep it shady...

[crashintosabine]

Ok all, off to Cinci. Have a safe trip to anybody who's leaving for Alpine today...otherwise see y'all tomorrow. :D

[EatSleepJeep]

Just cleaned out my desk. 4 hours left of this job. 3 years sure went fast...

Why didn't I make my last day yesterday? I have so much shit to do before we can roll tomorrow morning.

Yep, Maroon and Gold is all I need.
You're from Des Moines and you're a Goofer fan? Isn't that against the law or something? Shouldn't you be wearing U of Iowa or ISU colors? I'm FROM Minnesota and I've never been a goofer fan, then again, look where I go to school (avatar). I'm not allowed to be a goofer fan. But why would anybody WANT to be? haha

I grew up in Roseville, MN. Moved to IA to go to ISU and hated it, then graduated from Drake University. My dad was a gopher, so I grew up with 'em. My friends are all 'Clones or Hawkeyes, I'm the standout. I like to see the locals do well, as long as it's not against the goofers.

Yea, yea, so sue me. :p It's the maize that threw me. I mean, who the hell uses the word maize as a color? You all are watching way too much Queer Eye for The Straight Guy! It's yellow, gold at best. But maize? Puh-leeze. :p ;)

Speaking of maize...

Just picked up 12 ears of corn for $3.50. Gotta love the Minneapolis Farmers' Market! Hopefully Crumbo's brother will help me figure out how to grill it in the lot.

Also picked up a carton of cigarettes.
And a spindle of discs for Crumbo.

Now I just gotta get the other zillion things on my list! Agh, so much to do!

[rapunzelchick]

:monkey <--- Put that guy on the car today WB. Excellent.
Nice. I'm sure he looks great. :) Reminds me of one more thing I have to remember to bring...my antsmarching.org window cling!

We still haven't finalized the details of the setlist pool other than that I'm collecting submissions. (There I go sounding dirty again!)

Points system?
How much per person?
Who's doing the stats?

Anyone?

Okay. Here's the deal...

1) $5.00 per entry. Must get to WB in the premier lot on each night.
2) 20 songs selected (no penalty for picking too many songs)
3) 2 points for each song played
4) 2 point bonus for selecting in right spot (not including opener and encore closer)
5) 4 point bonus for correct opener and encore closer (last of your 20 songs)
6) Tie breaker is number of correct spots picked.

Crumbo will have taped N1 so we'll get the official results from him during N2 tailgating. As for N2 results, we'll go off what's posted here on ants. REMEMBER, ASTB and PNP count as songs, but other intro's (lap steel, bass, etc.) do not.

Questions??? Does this make sense???

Someone should bring some paper for this. We should include screen names on the sheets and you can get addresses via PM after the shows.

I am officially unemployed. It feels so good. The drive home had blue skies and those big puffy clouds. Listened to a little of The Polyphonic Spree and grinned like a bastard.

Now, I have to go cram all my junk in my Jeep and fix the engine before we roll out tomorrow at 9:30. Weather looks beautiful, but it looks like we'll get some showers on sunday.

Brian: I'll see you and Jamon and the rest of your entourage at the Super Secret Meeting Spot which is just east of I-43 Exit #29.:) I'll be giving you guys a ring on friday night.

More excited than ever for Alpine

[EatSleepJeep]

Couldn't have waited another show before typical, could they?

[IlliniJake]

Tonight's show is ridiculous. Seriously, I'd given anything to hear BOWA and I'll Back You Up. I don't even a own a show where the entire band does that one. Earlier today I decided those were the 2 songs I've never seen live that I'd love to hear the most, and now they go and play them one show too early. Aaarrrggghhhh!! Still, I can't wait for Saturday.

[steepler]

(just posted this in the Riverbend thread, felt it belonged in here too)


I can't believe they played IBYU tonight?!?!?!?! :eek:

My fiancee and I are having that as our wedding song at the end of August, it would be unbelievable if we got to see that at Alpine on Sunday, I think she would cry!!!!


**please play on Sunday, please play on Sunday, please play on Sunday, please play on Sunday...*

Alpine + night 2 x last show before break + attendance = best show of the tour.

Then the second night will be crazy packed...

but what do i know...i don't make the setlists.

Dave and Jenny won't be there until very late on Saturday because of a funeral:(

[Crumbo]

Carter is encouraging the Woo's during Joyride:(

[JonTheRvelator]

[BlueWater13]

[chiprip]

About 43 hours and 23 minutes until Dave takes the stage on Saturday, but whose counting?

[vannausj]

isn't it about time for a sticky, florida has had it forever, and riverbend got the shaft on the sticky
any predictions on debuts for alpine since cincy took 3 of the potential debuts away from us

[jmlevy]

Pig to open Alpine! I WOULD GO FUCKING NUTS! I was at Nashville 2 nights ago and it was an absolutely AMAZING show! VIP 20th row left there, 30th row dead center here! I'll be the one chanting "Pig!", "Pig!", etc. :-)
Holla at ya boi Dave!
Peace out to all my Dave lovers,
Joe

*Question for 8/7*
How hard will it be to get an extra lawn ticket in the parking lot?

[Iowa State Mike]

Getting ready to head up to WI and to my campground(Bong) now. Everyone have a safe trip and we will see y'all either tonight or tomorrow.

Peace,
Michael

[EatSleepJeep]

As you drive by Pleasant Hill....... don't do anything, since I wouldn't be able to hear you anyway:)

Have a safe one and watch for the WI troopers, they love those out of state plates(and they're goddamn sneaky). If you get ticketed in Wisconsin, they make you pay the fine immediately in cash as your bond if you're from out of state. Just a heads up.

just found out last night, that the c-v boot on my car is going bad! hoping i can get it fixed before my 1:00 departure time - otherwise, if you see a black vw with an oval dmb sticker on the side of the road, stop and help - or least wave:)
i know i haven't posted much (more of a lurker, i suppose), but do hope to meet some ants at alpine this year! have a great one....

:lol I can only assume you're referring to a drunk dial from Brian and Jamon. Got a message from them this morning, something about everyone being naked. :lol Sounds like they're getting an early start on the festivities. I'm jealous...don't they realize some of us had to work this morning!? :p :D

:multi This is it, kids, :monkey day!!!:multi

[rapunzelchick]

ATTENTION TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO PLAY THE SETLIST POOL:

It just hit me (ouch) that I've got lawn seats on N1 so I'm going to have to head into the venue a bit earlier. I'm hoping someone in the Premier lot (Crumbo?) will take over the submission collection (he, he).

Anyway, just find me ASAP. Green shade tent. Big stuffed monkey.

I'm in the pavillion N2 so no problems there.

[joecarst]

Anyone have any advice for someone who hasn't been there in a few years? When to get in line? Where the best lawn spots are? etc.

[ianseramur]

if you want the front of the lawn, then you'll have to be there before the gates open and go in right away.

[EddieW33]

Holy Shit! I just logged on, and this is the 4993 post....and I am so proud of everyone! I knew you could do it! Well, that out of the way...
1 DAY!!! 1 MORE DAY OF WORK!!! (Some of us...Jamon, Brian... how are your heads feeling this morning...wait, you guys are NOT up yet:) :haha )

Well, now I am going to review the last 100 posts or so, and get caught up with everyone...going shopping this afternoon to seal up the BEER!!!

Alpine...here we come!!!:) :D :hug :thumbsup

EDIT: T-storms off the prediction for sunday!!!

I ANSWERED THE PHONE - you could say they had reinvested in the bar / restraunt industry!:lol

They were having a blast, Brian was DRUNK, and it was Good Good Times to hear from them. They caught me off-guard when the phone rang at 1:00 AM, and I had just dozed off...oh, well...it was good to talk to them!

[EatSleepJeep]

I picked it up too. The pressing question: What Crumbo's real name was. Had about a 5 minute convo with drunk jamon, laughing the whole time. I didn't hear the naked thing, but I wouldn't put it past 'em in that state.

EDIT: Eddie, we need to make a twins thread in ndmbc after the shows are behind us, get down to business of beating boston in the alcs.

[EatSleepJeep]

Girlfriend and Carey are here, we're off to Iowa City to pick up The Chad. See y'all in the lots. Later.

Edit: It took about 5 minutes for them to spit it out, and they got the right name. He had sent it to WB a whiel ago, adn she and I remembered it together! Very funny conversation with the boys last night!:D
