What's Brookfield like? I have stayed by the aiport before, but never that far north. I found a good deal on a place to stay, any help would be great.

It looks to be that N1 is sold out for now on TM. I checked yesterday and kept pulling up lawn seats, but today, nothin'.

Brookfield is just your normal suburb with two main areas. In the southern part it is miles of strip malls and hotels and the northern part is a very ritzy area. Overall its a great town. I live right next door in waukesha so im in brookfield alot.

[crashintosabine]

FYI...anyone driving from in from MI, there's a new car ferry that runs across lake Michigan from Muskegon to Milwaukee. Definitely a good way to save time, gas and the trouble of driving through Chicago traffic. :thumbsup

ya i just pulled 4 lawn on cc.com so it might be sold out on ticketmaster but not clear channel. Probrably not too many left though.

[PilotC150]

Everybody too busy this weekend to think about Alpine? I know I'm not.

[dmb_41_sd]

I've been thinking, but every time i try to get on ants is down...ok, so the one time i tried. anyways, chris, i MIGHT be getting hooked up for tickets on N1, if i do, i'll have extra reserved. Not the greatest, 203, BB, seats in the 100's. I'll let ya know tomorrow.

That'd be sweet. I'll be waiting to hear from you. Just e-mail me if I'm not online (which I might not be) at pilotc150@hotmail.com

[missycor]

If Chris doesn't want them, or gets hooked up with another pair, keep me in mind. :D

[bustedstuff]

So, I guess Now it's too late to find a place to stay around alpine? I am going to be driving from Toronto and I called a few of the hotels and camp sites around and all seem to be boked up for Aug 7&8 weekend....so Can anyone help me out with what I should do? I would like to have a place booked for when I arrive. nothign worse then trying to find a place to stay at on the weekend of the show.....

[rapunzelchick]

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.
That's the exact same philosophy that my 29 year-old boyfriend has! Though he did say he'll deal with the lawn for night 2 of Gorge since I got reserved the 1st and 3rd.

I feel too old for the lawn, too, but I can deal with it the first night moreso than the second - there's less piss and puke on it the first night. :freak

If you haven't yet bought the talking towlie doll you really should...

...But back to Alpine 2004. I just PM'd you with the names of some of the towns around the area. Not as close as Lake Geneva, but none are really too far.

[The J2H]

good afternoon Alpiners!

[crashintosabine]

117! :bounce

[PilotC150]

You should check out Big Foot Beach, i'm sure the campsites there aren't ALL reserved yet.

[liog_dmb]

woo! Alpine!

If Chris doesn't want them, or gets hooked up with another pair, keep me in mind. :D

Sorry, nobody gets upgraded, the deal fell through :(

[crashintosabine]

Anybody staying at Bong have an extra spot at their site? We have 7 girls going and the site we reserved only holds 6...I went to reserve another site and there doesn't seem to be anymore available for Saturday night. I've been told that they enforce some kind of wrist-band thing, so we need to figure out what to do about our 7th person. We'll chip in to help pay the cost of part of your site and throw in a couple free shows if someone will let us "borrow" a spot from your site. Shoot me an IM if you can help us out! :D

Hi All:

Just wanted to give everyone a ticketing update. Night one for Alpine is getting pretty close to sold out at this point. There may be a few tickets released here and there, but for the most part all of our 35,300 tickets are sold for the Saturday show. Our website will show "Sold Out" on the events page once we are sure that all tickets are totally sold out and that no additional tickets will be released.

On the flip side, there are still quite a few tickets available for the Sunday show, so why not stay for an extra show! :)

Regards,
Brian

[crashintosabine]

Good morning Alpine. 116 and countin' :D

[The J2H]

Good afternoon...who's ready for this tour to start?

[Sc00tsSV]

I am, I am :bounce :monkey

[bustedstuff]

OK, So it appears that Big Foot Beach has some sites avail. Is anyone staying there? I see that no alcohol is allowed. How does everyone feel about that? Any problems? Is there a better camp ground to stay at that has more sites available? I'm from way outta town and want to make my first trip to Alpine Valley really enjoyable!

Thanks
Mike

[The J2H]

you can get away with drinking at BFB if you're careful about it. we didn't drink last year because it was our first time staying there, but there were a group of guys right next to us who were drinking and not even being discreet about it. i'm not sure if i'll drink there this year, but i know that people got away with it last year.

[lulubell]

Good morning Alpine. 116 and countin' :D


Hey! I'm Vanessa, Janelle says you're at our site at Bong! Nice to meet u, J.

[bustedstuff]

Does any one know if there are sites available at Bong? And how do I go about booking one if there is and also, is there a cool area to stay at there?

[The J2H]

alright...just check for available sites at BFB and they're going quickly.

NEW MAP!

[bustedstuff]

Looks like i'm in for the long haul!
Site 010 at BFB. See you all there!
Lets all have a great time! I'm gonna be cookin up a storm, so lets hope the weather doesn't have the same idea!

Mike

[The J2H]

figures that you request a site as soon as i update the map, lol

[bustedstuff]

AHAHAH yeah, I had to do it now, or I would never get a site, so map update 2.1 is coming out soon i assume? :)

Mike

[lulubell]

I have 2 sites together at bong and may have room for a couple of people.

[circuitry]

I am going to the Alpine shows (both nights) also and was wondering if you had to sign up for camp sites or if they allow you to camp in the parking lots.

[alpinevalley]

If you only knew how tight the security was for the venue for DMB. I believe he is rivaled only by Jimmy Buffett in terms of his security. Very cool guys, but very, very strict indeed. Not only do the passes need to be the correct color to get backstage, but there is typically a two letter and two number code that switches for every show as well. So even if you have a pass from one show and go to another show that may have the same color, your code won't be the same. Even I need special credentials to get backstage on the day of a DMB show and I am the security manager for the venue!

On another note, a couple people asked for the coordinates to our theatre for their GPS navigation systems to use. I have posted those on the "Contact Us (http://www.alpinevalleymusic.com/contactus.asp)" page of the Alpine Valley website. Enjoy.

Brian

Camping on private property in Walworth County is prohibited by ordinance. Alpine does not allow nor do we have camping available. Please check out our website for the closest campground to the venue or go to www.reserveamerica.com (http://www.reserveamerica.com) for local state parks.

203 ZZ for night 2

[PilotC150]

Last year night 1 I was 201 row CCC, about 15 seats from the end. Almost in the far corner. And really, the sound was awesome and the view wasn't too shabby either, nothing to complain about at all.

How did you like those? Those are exactly what I'll have this year.

[JmoneyDMB]

How did you like those? Those are exactly what I'll have this year.

I liked my seats last year, close, downfall was that I couldn't see stefan most times from my seats although I was like 5 people away from the end of the row. At the time it was the closest I had ever been at a show which made for a great experience. I'm sure you'll have a great time.

[JmoneyDMB]

I looked at the seating chart and I'll be in the row in front of the sound board? anyone ever sat there before? I hoping that maybe I can grab a seat list from those seats ;)

[dancingnancy37]

Alright I just booked site 19 at BFB, so there will be a couple of girls there.

[MelissaDMBfan]

Section 203 Row GG from Warehouse
Section 201 Row GG from TM

I will have the same view just from a different angle both nights :)

[PilotC150]

I can't believe my AA tickets are actually better than a lot of people on here. Makes me feel good :):)

Not trying to rub it in, just kinda funny. Now, only if I could find somebody selling reserved tickets for night 1.

[crashintosabine]

Well my group has a big 'ol mess on our hands. Night 1 we've got 2 sec 202 PP (courtesy of TM,) 4 lawn and 2 WH preferred lawn. Night 2 we've got 2 sec 203 EE, 2 sec 202 EE, 2 sec 201 QQ and a single 101 H.

Now comes the tricky part of trying to figure out which pairs to trade once we get to the show to be able to sit by each other N2. Looks like my ass will be on the lawn N1. :freak I haven't been on the lawn since my verrrry first DMB show back in '97. Damn...I'm too old for the lawn. :(

[ModestMouse2003]

101 row L

A good friend of mine got front row at Alpine through WH. Damn.

Alpine seems somewhat notorious for releasing random sets of seats on Ticketmaster up until the show date. Last year, a friend found 10 decent seats all together in 201 about a week and a half before the show. Is there an explanation for this? Would there be any reason to believe that this will change for this summer's DMB stand?

Thanks much-

ike.

ike.Hi:

Actually, it's not up to us (as a theatre) to release seats up until the show date. Usually there are groups of seats held for the label, artist, promoter, etc. and as those tickets are allocated to different people, they may have some left over. Once the final numbers are known, then any unused tickets are returned to the inventory for a given show.

Since these groups of tickets must be held before the public onsale date, the exact numbers needed are not known, so there it's a balance between making these tickets available to the general public and having enough to satisfy the demands of the artist, etc. So, while it is conceivable that there may be some tickets released here and there between now and the show date, I would not bank on it as we get better and better about holding as close to the exact amount needed for these interested parties each year. I hope that makes sense.

Regards,
Brian

[The J2H]

well i'm pretty bummed out by my WH tickets. all three shows that i asked for reserved seats are all upper pavilion, so i probably would have been better off just going with lawn for all the shows.

alpine night two: 203 UU

[crashintosabine]

Well, ours are all in the middle of the 200's so I know what you mean, but I guess you just have to look at it this way. You won't have to line up hours early to make a mad dash for a good spot on the lawn. You'll have a seat that's all your own and won't have to worry about some drunkard falling down the lawn and onto you. If you have to leave your seat for a beer/bathroom run, you'll actually be able to find it again. ( I can never seem to easily find my way back to a spot on the lawn.) Does any of this make you feel any better? :)

[MelissaDMBfan]

You won't have to line up hours early to make a mad dash for a good spot on the lawn.


that is the main reason I hate lawn. I don't want to get to the venue any earlier that I have to, especially when I can be tailgating.

[crashintosabine]

that is the main reason I hate lawn. I don't want to get to the venue any earlier that I have to, especially when I can be tailgating.

Exactly. We had lawn for Riverbend one year :eek: and we spent a few hours in line waiting at the gate. I ran my ass off & was literally the first person on that lawn, and then we all just sat. And waited. And sat. Damn that lawn. :violent

[crashintosabine]

Hey, we should try and get a lil' seating chart going for each night so we can see if we're sitting near anyone else.

[JanelleM]

Hey Jennifer did you work out camping with V?

[Scaflaw13]

Oh no, I understand it's not exactly an easy task. And it's not something I have the time to do right now with my crazy schedule, so I don't expect anyone else to have the time either. Please know I wasn't trying to be pushy about it. :)

Whoa! I wasn't implying harshness, I'm more than glad to do it, but the hard part is finding enough unique colors to differentiate everyone. I don't think you're pushy one bit. It'll be nice to have as people try to sort out the inevitable horse trading of pairs of tickets.

[liog_dmb]

Night 1: Lawn (asked for it because of friends, but Warehouse Preferred :) )
Night 2: 203 YY (would have saved $20 had I asked for lawn)

[1eyed_jack]

i write for my college paper thats about an hour south of alpine, and were doing a story on the best musical venues in the area, so i got in touch with alpine and im getting a tour tomorrow. I cant wait. now if only i can find some seats id be set

[ianseramur]

are they doing that "special section" for WH people on the lawn this year? How the hell is that gonna work...should be interesting if they try it.

Not sure where the uncovered portion starts. Maybe the head of security guy Alpinevalley will be able to tell us.

i noticed your post, and i'm guessing you're a Kill Bill fan. i just watched Vol. 2 last night, and it doesn't disappoint. there's more story to this one, and less killing, but i honestly think it tops Vol. 1. i'm sure you'll enjoy it!

[greyavenue]

i dont think any of alpine in uncovered, i have seats in the 100s and warehouse said they were uncovered. its just them being stupid

[bdb23]

Portions are uncovered if the rain isn't falling straight down. I also think the last couple rows of the reserved sections are past the roof.

i'm trying to kick those evil habits, and unfortunately i think i'm getting closer and closer to having to join PWA- Post-Whores Anonymous

anyways...i'm compiling the list of where everyone has tickets so i can make the seating map. however, i've noticed some people only listed one set of seats, but not which show they were for. SO...if everyone would PM their seat locations for each day, i will get crackin on this map!

i now have a list of all the tickets locations that were listed in the last 3 pages (since WH locations were posted). i also checked Tour Central to try and get any locations i could from people who posted in this thread. if you weren't specific about what day your tickets were for, or if you didn't post at all, please PM me with your info...thanks!

[PilotC150]

Jon, you've got 9 posts on this page alone. Your first 5 are in like a 7 minute span.

Just pointin out some stuff ;-)

Hey, don't be sorry, whore away!! :thumbsup

[Crumbo]

i dont think any of alpine in uncovered, i have seats in the 100s and warehouse said they were uncovered. its just them being stupid

the back rows and far side sections are uncovered by the roof

[Aerodmb]

N1: 103 A2
N2: 103 C

not bad, wish I was in the center though, like last year (10th row), but I AM NOT BITCHIN...i'm very pleased with my seats...

Can't hardly wait.

[Aerodmb]

OK, So it appears that Big Foot Beach has some sites avail. Is anyone staying there? I see that no alcohol is allowed. How does everyone feel about that? Any problems? Is there a better camp ground to stay at that has more sites available? I'm from way outta town and want to make my first trip to Alpine Valley really enjoyable!

Thanks

scenice ridge my friend...pm me for details...

Hi 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
Alpine Valley Music Theatre


I know it hasnt been long but is there any update on the alpine seating charts/maps? The demand for the "where are my seats" and the question "are my seats any good" is huge right now. Just curious.

Yeah, sure you're not!

I've got a list of all the seat locations in the entire thread. I'll include it in an attachment. If everyone can look at it and make sure it's correct. If you're not on it leave a post here or PM me with your seats if you want to be on the map. I'm sorry if I took over this project but I had nothing to do tonight and I wanted to actually see a map. :)

[JmoneyDMB]

scenice ridge my friend...pm me for details...

Yeah, I was wondering about scenic ridge, what's the scene like there. Are they cool witht the party crowd. Some of my friends are staying at a hotel in whitewater, but after camping last summer at deer creek and the gorge, I'd really prefer to camp for Alpine this year. Let me knoe if you have any info, I still have not booked a place yet, but plan to in the next week or so.

Nice, I like the map. I was suprised to see myself on there. Are there any ants gatherings planned for Alpine (besides you BFB camping folks)?

[dmb_41_sd]

Night One is done

[dmb_41_sd]

Night Two is done

[dmb_41_sd]

These charts are just rough cut and I prettymuch had to guess on all the seat #'s because almost nobody knows them anyways. I have yet to go through the "warehouse seat locations are up" thread to dig through and find more people who havent posted in the alpine thread so when I do that I'll add them. And anyone reading or new to the alpine thread that knows their seats let me know. Post a reply or PM me. Any suggestions/comments are welcomed.

[dmb_41_sd]

OK, so I just went through and got a bunch more locations from the warehouse seat locations are up (http://www.antsmarching.org/forum/showthread.php?t=98979) thread. (about 10/night) and I'll update the maps when i get time. It's too late to do it tonight.

They are totally down for the partying atmosphere, it's a great place, trust me. We stayed there last year and had a blast, great sites for reserved and first come first serve area (larger open area, yet secluded). Give them a call or check out www.wisconsincampgrounds.com...they have decent facilities, and it's a really nice area on top of a big hill, you actually drive through the woods to get on top. Also, there is a lake at the foot of the hill where the "headquarters" is and pontoon rentals on some side of the lake.

Check it out...

If you could add me to the Alpine seating chart thingy that would be cool

Night 1 & 2--Section 102 Row N seats are on the left side aisle of the section:)

well i had started maps, but since your's are better, i'll just stop:lol

We are gonna probably make some burgers, hot dogs, and steaks like last year.

We also have to try and get in the parking lot first.

When are you guys going to get to the parking lot.

[Aerodmb]

probably 3 or 4pm, whenever the party bus gets there.

[EatSleepJeep]

don't ever let this thread drop below SPAC 2004 gals & guys! let's get rippin...what does everyone plan on cooking during tailgating...I'm thinking fajitas of shishkabobs.
I'm thinking we'll go with classic trilogy:
ground cow patties
all cow hot dogs
bratwurst (it is wisconsin after all)

[PilotC150]

Probably just plain ol' hamburgers and hot dogs. I like something simple to eat while I'm sitting in a parking lot. They're easy to make and easy to eat, and they're cheap.

[arizonalovesyou]

i know this post is off topic and i apologize ahead of time...

i noticed your post, and i'm guessing you're a Kill Bill fan. i just watched Vol. 2 last night, and it doesn't disappoint. there's more story to this one, and less killing, but i honestly think it tops Vol. 1. i'm sure you'll enjoy it!

I saw it last night. It was wonderful. I still like the 1st one better. but altogether, I love Kill Bill. I would kill to see it uncut in its entirety. Glad you enjoyed it too!

Has anyone played the Alpine Valley Golf Course? Just curious, as that might be a great way to start off the tailgating, by playing 18.

i have, many times.... cool course, you get to look up the back side of the amp... see all the seats. but the course is not open on show days, and if it is, it closes really early. so, no golfing before a show...

most likley because the course is right next to where they park semi's and busses

Those earrrrrly tee times are always my favorite though. So if you don't mind hittin' the course early, getting a game in before the show wouldn't seem to be a problem.

No.

you new yorkers are spoiled.


the nearest dave show for me is 13hrs. road trippin it is 1/4th of the fun.

[dmb_41_sd]

OK, here's the updated maps. I think I've worked out all the kinks and I've gone through the rest of the seating assignments thread and the rest of this thread and gotten a few private messages to get things squared away. Thanks everyone for your comments. Glad you all like it.

Be sure to let me know if you change your seats or if I have you listed on the map wrong or skipped you altogether. Keep in mind I randomly placed dots in the sections because prettymuch nobody listed seat #'s.

Looks like you were pretty lucky if you got section 102 or even 202 this year.

[Scaflaw13]

Love the maps, Nice werk

are you sure you're in 203, based on your seat #'s your in 201.

For those looking to sell/trade/buy warehouse tickets. Pretty cool site from the wh boards.

I've got 2 lawns for sale if anybody wants them. Asking $80. I also have a thread in the trading forum, just thought i'd advertise in here, too.

[ModestMouse2003]

chris - r u bringing your guitar?

[PilotC150]

I wasn't planning on it, but if you want me to, I definatly could change my mind.

[DMBfan14567]

where's everyone staying out there?

BFB, its tradition. well a one year tradition, but you gotta start somewhere!

[ModestMouse2003]

I wasn't planning on it, but if you want me to, I definatly could change my mind.

naw, its cool, i was just curious. Its cool just listenin to someone goin off on some Dave,

and i remember last year how little time was spent at the actual site. it was sleep -> tailgate -> DMB show -> tailgate -> sleep

[ModestMouse2003]

Be sure to let me know if you change your seats or if I have you listed on the map wrong or skipped you altogether. Keep in mind I randomly placed dots in the sections because prettymuch nobody listed seat #'s.




Ok Timmy, im in the works of trading my night 2's 101's for someones night 1's 202 HH's.

So a map edit might be needed, and i might take those extra tix from you for night 2 and then were set for everything! :thumbsup :bounce

[Tbone328]

I'll probably bring my guitar for tailgatin and partying at my bros house at marquette

[PilotC150]

Sure, I"ll bring my guitar, maybe we'll find more time to bring it out this year. Actually, I'll bring it if we can make it fit. It wasn't too bad last year, so hopefully this year it'll fit too.

Now a note to everybody, the tickets that I advertised I was selling last night, well they're sold already. :D I can't believe they sold so quickly, but they did.

[The J2H]

i'm sorry i've been slacking on my alpine posts lately...it's just too damn nice outside to be on the pc

Not very nice around here. Not bad, but not "oh i gotta get outside" nice.

It's prettty nice here, but windy, i hate wind so i'm staying in.

[ModestMouse2003]

It's prettty nice here, but windy, i hate wind so i'm staying in.


its official, WEst river should be a seperate state than east river.

the wind here is awful, its humid, hella cold and hella hott.

everyday in teh winter, it was like 5-10 degrees colder than rapid + wind.

i miss rapid.

Well, at least we got lucky in MI and had a BEAUTIFUL weekend. But...the extended forecast show us in for 5 out of the next 9 days as scattered showers. I knew it was too nice too soon!

[PilotC150]

south dakota sucks.

[dmb_41_sd]

south dakota sucks.

yes, yes it does. What, you didnt expect me to say that?

OK, i was just kidding. I'll agree with you only when you can prove to me why north dakota is better.

[ModestMouse2003]

south dakota sucks.

SOUTH Dakota sucks?

i believe you are wrong by 180degrees. Norht dakota is = Siberia
:D


And there is no way anyone can say the Black Hills suck. its alot better than the DFW area in texas. THe hills weather is very much like denvers. the only difference is we have hills and they have mountains.

[ModestMouse2003]

it should be WEst Dakota and East Dakota

Yall can have all the people, but we get the good weather and the hills.

Anyways it would make more sense to divide by the time zone. IT blows ass changing time zones every other weekend.

and yea, im too lazy to hit edit.

[PilotC150]

North Dakota's better because...uhhh....because....we can take I-94 straight down to Alpine! (ya like how I kept that on topic :))

Why am I arguing this? I'm a Minnesota native.

[ModestMouse2003]

yea well, we can go strait from the Gorge to Alpine Valley on I-90 so we win!!! hA!! :D

There will be no DMB shows this summer at SPAC.
Give it up. You look foolish hanging on to this false hope that DMB is coming to upstate NY.

F Alpine?
F you. We have a show date and time, confirmed tickets, opening acts, etc.
What you got? A rumor from a guy who's sister's boyfriend's cousin's roommate's best friend's brother who works in the parking lot says that DMb is coming?

From people that have attended both venues, Alpine is far superior in all aspects. Don't get pissed, y'all brought it upon yourself. I used to look at the "Official non-SPAC 2004" thread as amusing, but its become a travesty. Close it. There is no SPAC 2004. Get on with your lives.

[EatSleepJeep]

There are more posts(WASTED BANDWITH) in the "official NON-spac 2004" thread than any other venue thread, and those are real concerts. I don't care if there is or isn't. Since the day that tour dates were announced, all I've seen is whining about "why DMb skipped SPAC", "NO SPAC?", "Ohmygod they're not coming to spac" The fans there sound like a bunch of whiny children that were not allowed to get a bomb pop off the ice-cream truck. And they continue to cry about it.

What are they discussing in the SPAC thread as of right now?
No Doubt.

I have a great idea. get everyone from the spac thread to converge on the venue for the 4th of july, and y'all can pretend there's a show. Since that's exactly what's happening right now.

[JanelleM]

we shall be the Curling Iron Bandits!!!

I really don't think anyone has been whining about it lately. I think most of the posts have been people hoping that they come to SPAC. At first, sure, many people complained...and that's not surprising. If they didn't come to Alpine or the Gorge or another popular venue, those fans would do the same. And upstate NY has traditionally done pretty well with shows, so this was a change...when people are used to getting shows, and then they don't get them, don't expect people to sit back and be happy for those who did.

As for the rest of your post, I'm not exactly sure why you're so concerned with the content of that thread. I'm sure the admins appreciate the fact that you care a great deal about their bandwidth costs.

Look, here's the way it is. Ants has posted that: (1) the festival is in question, (2) if the festival doesn't go through, they'll still play that weekend, but (3) it won't be a festival. Plus, some guy posted a calendar of events at SPAC awhile back that proved to be partially valid, and it had DMB scheduled there for July 4th weekend. In other words, one way or another, we're getting more dates. If it isn't the festival (which right now, it looks like it may not be), it's most likely SPAC (consider calendar, the fact that they've played there years past, etc.). My point is that it isn't unreasonable for people to still have some hope.

[missycor]

I think it's great that all of you people from outside of Wisconsin are coming and spending your hard earned money in our state, but is there anyone from the Milwaukee area or, more generally, Wisconsin actually going to the show?

Me. :)

Damnit I just got some bad news.

We have a tornado warning here in the South Side of Chicago

I met a couple from Milwaukee this weekend and they were great. They had been to Alpine to see DMB before and were so happy that I was going this year because it is so awesome! Hopefully they will go again this year...they were super sweet and fun and DMB fans so hey! Although they said it would be super humid :( And there would be lots of bugs.

I can't wait! :D 109 and countin' down...

i could do without Mini Lake Geneva in the tent.

Wasn't that because you didn't put the rain cover on?

Hey, at least nobody stole your sleeping bags when they sat out on the picnic table all day drying.

Someone stole your sleeping bags? :(

And Stevo: what? you don't want to sleep in your van again?

[crashintosabine]

Good mornin' Alpine. :)

[ModestMouse2003]

it was like 11pm when we set up and ryan didnt raelly but the bottom tarp down correctly. So all the water came through the bottom. Our rain cover was on.

And i didnt mind sleepin in the mom car. Its just that i was all wet and sticky and that was tough to sleep in.

I wasnt the only one dryin shit out after that night. I swear 1/2 the campgrounds setup were drying stuff.

[PilotC150]

Nobody stole our sleeping bags. That comment wasn't from personal experience, just a comment because I remember their sleeping bags laying out on the tables all day.

Yeah, this could get ugly reallly quick. :lol
and I could definately speed up that process
I really don't think anyone has been whining about it lately. I think most of the posts have been people hoping that they come to SPAC. At first, sure, many people complained...and that's not surprising. If they didn't come to Alpine or the Gorge or another popular venue, those fans would do the same. And upstate NY has traditionally done pretty well with shows, so this was a change...when people are used to getting shows, and then they don't get them, don't expect people to sit back and be happy for those who did.
no one has been whining, eh? that's the funniest thing i've read all morning. sure if the gorge or alpine got skipped people would most likely bitch and moan. i don't think that anyone would create a thread for those shows and keep hoping for a show though. i can almost guaruntee that if any other venue the size of SPAC that got skipped (ex. Polaris, StarLake, Antioch, etc), if people created a thread to whine and keep false hope with that, many people...including all you SPAC'ers, would be up in arms over that. besides, NY still has the Darien Lake show, they could have just skipped NY all together, so maybe you should be lucky you have one show. no one should ever be used to getting shows, because if the band wants to quit tomorrow, they could, it's their right. just like it's their right to pick where they want to play, not where we want them to play. eventually the band is going to start skipping certain venues for whatever reason, maybe 2004 is SPAC's year for that
hmmm...you might want to make a pass by my site Bong 207...we've got a curler in the group that we haven't been about to break of the habit yet. Someone needs to make away with her curling iron
i think i may be able to work something out, but i'll have to get in touch with my partner in crime first...

we were setting up in the dark last year as well! somehow my cheap tent from 1910 kept all the water out of my tent, too bad it wasn't the same for all my friends with nice new fancy tents. let's hope my new tent does me proud this week.

and for the record, 1/2 of the campsites were hanging out stuff to dry every morning :lol

Plus, some guy posted a calendar of events at SPAC awhile back that proved to be partially valid, and it had DMB scheduled there for July 4th weekend.
yeah, well I know how to use a spreadsheet...want me to post a calendar that has DMB playing at my house?

(looks both ways before posting...)

I can send you a picture of the curler herself, along with a detailed map of which tent is hers and what bag the curling iron will be in. :D

I think we can make a special stop. Where are you camping by the way?

:lol That is just awful. It's going to be humid and dirty. Your hair will be ruined in 5 minutes anyway. We are really just doing her a big favor :thumbsup

the calendar scan was posted before ANY of the bands had announced their summer tour dates. i think like 4 of the bands on there have confirmed the exact dates. it wasn't made up.

[greppson]

and another thing for all you hating the SPAC thread, if there was no alpine this year you would be still hoping they would announce it. why does the spac thread bother you so much? i mean come on... we're all fans aren't we? we can all hope our venue gets some dates can't we?

[crashintosabine]

I know! We've tried...don't even get me started about the make-up. You'd have a tough time prying the eyeshadow out of the death grip she has on it.

Don't get me wrong...she's my girl and I love her...she's just not so much the camping type. :rolleyes:

Hey, don't say "all you." It's not like everyone on the Alpine thread hates the SPAC thread.


Good lord that sounded like something I would have said in junior high.

[rapunzelchick]

your shows are on the way back to you....with a little bonus:D
Already? Wow! That news just made my day! You are so kind!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Can't wait to get 'em! :multi

108 days till check-in at the Country Inn & Suites!!!

[greppson]

i didn't mean it aimed at all of you, only all of you that hate the SPAC thread.:)

:lol

i've been to alpine. i'd take it over spac anyday! but let people have their hope that spac will become the 2 night stand if the festival falls through.
