[QUOTE=alpinevalley]Hi All:

Yes, we are still working on a seating chart update. Since we have had major roof repairs to the pavilion in the off season, large numbers of seats were removed to accomodate the construction. Those seats are not back in yet, so we are waiting before taking the pictures. Also, we are completely renovating our handicapped seating area and are having an engineer come in to do a brand new and more detailed seating diagram complete with seat beginning and ending numbers for each row. Once that is complete and the seats are in, you will see a new and much more improved seating chart on our site. I will let you know when this happens.

Do you think that this will be done before August? Just curious is all. Cheers!

[jordonh]

what are u doing to the handicapped section?

[missycor]

In fact, over 50 new women's stalls and over 40 new men's urinals were added in the off season to this building.

Can I get a yee haw? :lol
Awesome. Thanks for the continuing updates.

I have been to a handful of shows since it turned into the Fillmore. I have been to shows there when it was Mammoth Evens Center. It is an awesome venue to see a show. I would definitly recommend going if someone you like is playing there. I saw 311 and Zebrahead there a couple years ago and most recently Atmosphere.

Modest Mouse~ Yesterday I was listening to the radio (WXRT 93.1 in Chicago, a really good radio station) and they DJ was saying something about this band called Modest Mouse, and he played something by them. I kept on thinking "Boy does that sound familar." Well it drove me crazy all night cause I couldn't think of where I heard that before. Then it finally came to me that it's your user name from ants. Just thought I would share that with ya :lol

[LovinDmb]

you didn't. ive been in there, i dunno why i went in there, but i did, all by myself, alone.
I remember last year i went in to use the bathrooms, I heard the beginning of Minarets and tripped & sprinted out to the lawn :BANG

oh memories

well, did you like the song? Im pretty sure it was "Float On" cause i think thats there newest single, unless they have released another one lately.

[dmb_41_sd]

Well, just got back with a new tent and air mattress for this summers tour, damn it's gettin closer. Only a month and a half till my first shows. Too bad alpines still a solid 3 away. Ah well, it's closer all the time.

On my way out to play some softball today. Joined another leauge this year, last year we went winless for the season so this year can only be better right? I hope so.

That's so funny. The only camping I do is slumber parties with my Girl Scouts, and I still use an air mattress. :lol

[dtddmbfan]

havent camped in a long time, but i am at alpine. What constitutes a good tent (i need to get one), and what eles am i going to need to buy? is this going to be pricy?

i need camping help from an experianced camper i guess is what i am trying to say

[crashintosabine]

Better stay away from us then...we'll be a whole gaggle of losers with our air mattresss. :lol

[dmb_41_sd]

:twak

It's the best way to go out there. And oh so easy too. I forget already, it's at my girlfriends place. We got it at sears, it was on sale, 50 bucks off. It's a 2 room tent with an screaned in entryway. Should put it to good use this summer.


Oh, and Steve, what league are you in?

[alpinevalley]

what are u doing to the handicapped section?
All of these things will be done before our first show on June 25, no worries. Handicapped seating is being totally redone to give our handicapped guests a deck that is above the standing crowd so they can see. Also, improved ramping is being added. Three rows of seats in section 201 were torn out and concrete work is already beginning on this project. It will be great when it's done.

Regards,
Brian

our baseball team won its first game in 3 years last year

whenver you buy something for Alpine, think will RAIN hurt this, will rain ruin this? cause it WILL rain. and it will rain so hard I will sleep in my Mommys Green van again.

[dancingnancy37]

Melissa and Stevo--it was indeed Float On that was played on XRT. I've heard it probably 4 times the last couple of days. :thumbsup

[LindsayRose]

ok, i read the first 10 pages, and got sick of reading....sooo my sister and i are thinkin about staying at BFB this year, after staying the past 2 years at Bong. The drive home from the concert is always horrendous, and last year we had a run-in with the law at our site. Just wondering how strictly the no-drinking rule is enforced(like can you just put it in a cup and be on your merry way?) or do they lay the smack down like the rangers at Bong? also, what are some good sites to camp at? it looks like a lot of people seem to be camping in the teens-20's sites...

Umm, i think BFB is pretty tight, when you get back from the Show, its pretty damn quiet thats for sure. And yes, alot of us are camping around sites 10-20, its a nice area.

[crashintosabine]

FYI, Bong is already booked up for the weekend.

[LindsayRose]

sounds good. we usually pass out right away after getting home from the show anyway

[PilotC150]

BFB is filling FAST. If you want a site, get it quick!

[ianseramur]

i think i'm just driving home after each show...i like a nice shower in the morning...plus all my friends are goddamn bumbs and refused to camp with me...but at least they volunteered to do all the driving!

[LovinDmb]

Alright guys I NEED some opinions.........I reserved a site @ Bong but now im thinking of changing it if i have to worry about getting busted and shit like that. ADVISE me please

[LovinDmb]

Hey also is alchohol prohibited @ BFB?? I believe it is allowed @ Bong. Which should i go with?? Would it be worth my time to switch or should I stay with Bong?

[kgiles21]

Alright guys I NEED some opinions.........I reserved a site @ Bong but now im thinking of changing it if i have to worry about getting busted and shit like that. ADVISE me please

just be smat and you will have nothing to worry about...
as long as you are not being loud or dumb the park rangers will not mess with you.

Thats understandable, however those who say they had problems.....what exactly happened to make the rangers give you shit?

[EatSleepJeep]

I stayed @ Bong in '02 and I felt it was overly strict. They seemed to be unreasonably sensitive to reasonable volumes. I hear the group sites are far less scrutinized, but I would never stay at the individuals again.

Life: Experiences may vary.

[LindsayRose]

Last summer at Bong, we had our little run-in with the rangers as from what i heard the next morning so did many other people. it was just my sister, my roomate and me, and we were being super quiet, only having a few beers the night before the first show. :angel all of the sudden, like 5 or 6 rangers come back to our site to check out what we were still doing up(it was only like 1 in the morning). first we got in trouble because my roomate and i weren't 21 yet and we were drinking, but then the shit hit the fan when they found our bag. :eek: Then they uttered the terrible phrase, "Ladies, what's in the bag?????" They proceeded to give my roomate an M.I.P. and me a possession of paraphenalia ticket which ran us a total of about $400 that we had to pay on the spot or go to jail...bad news
although that drama went down, i do have to say Bong isn't a bad park. It's really pretty and they drinking is allowed...just be careful!!!! As for us, I think we'll be at BFB this August (and hopefully June for the Phish shows) :)

thats a rough story. I know the shitty side of getting caught, cept mine was alcohol. Where are you staying at BFB?

[crashintosabine]

Gooooood morning Alpine. 95! :D

[LovinDmb]

hmmmmm...so there will be like 6 or 7 of us, you think we would have a problem? I'm still debating whether I should cancel Bong and go to BFB...........we'll see

[LindsayRose]

We haven't made our BFB reservations yet, because 1)we still don't have tickets, and 2)we're not sure how many people are going

[liog_dmb]

i think i'm just driving home after each show...i like a nice shower in the morning...plus all my friends are goddamn bumbs and refused to camp with me...but at least they volunteered to do all the driving!

I agree...

Its not that I hate camping, its just that I like having a comfortable bed in an air conditioned house and a nice shower in the morning. Then, you're totally refreshed for another great show the next night.

[PilotC150]

Jon, sign on AIM, i need to talk to ya.

[The J2H]

chris...i was at work, now i'm helping my girlfriend study for finals...hopefully i'll be back in a little while to drop you a line...

[PilotC150]

That's alright, I'll probably be up.

[ModestMouse2003]

Priceline is the way to go....my Courtyard Marriott room for Alpine for 3 nights is $144 TOTAL after taxes. can't beat that :thumbsup

but camping is 45$ for FOUR of us for ALL 3 nights. thats 100$ i save, sorry im just too cheap for a hotel. Maybe when i get a real job then i will get me a nice hotel.

[PilotC150]

bah, camping is part of the fun. I really don't understand why people, especially guys, don't like camping.

[LovinDmb]

No camping is def the way to go. I stayed in a hotel for Deer Creek last year and it wasnt nearly as fun as camping @ Alpine

[bdb23]

94 days folks!!! :bounce

I camped at Darien last year and it was awesome.

[The J2H]

i just might book my campsite today...

i'll keep you all posted...

[crashintosabine]

You can do it. My friend and I took all of our camping gear for the Gorge last year on a plane from Michigan. A train would be no problem.

[Obsessor Of 41]

I haven't been keeping up with the Alpine thread as much as I did last year (Alpine 03'), is it basically the same crowd going? I know I'm bring up two new first time Alpiners, bringing my crew to five.

[JanelleM]

I know I only check in here like once a week...I'll be here more as the shows gets closer. It's going to be so fucking fun...:thumbsup

[Dodo41]

My friend lives 10 mins away from Alpine Valley in a Mansion in Muskego. It so convieniant......its a two day endless party with a soundtrack of Dave Matthews Band...Best two nights of my summer.

[DMBfan14567]

You can do it. My friend and I took all of our camping gear for the Gorge last year on a plane from Michigan. A train would be no problem.
I'll have to remember that for next year, as it is we're bringing a big cooler and our small grill for tail gating...and we are renting a car, so we'd be able to lug it all around...we'll see what happens for next time :):) I didn't think that it'd be the easiest of things to do.

I tried that last summer. I only made it about a week before I gave up and looked.

But hey, 93 to go. :D

[MelissaDMBfan]

I don't think I would be able to not look at the setlist. I NEED to know what songs they are playing..Maybe I won't do it a week before Alpine in case any surpises come up.

[rapunzelchick]

I don't think I would be able to not look at the setlist. I NEED to know what songs they are playing...
I agree. Knowing what they've been playing just gets me that much more excited for the show I'll be seeing.

I have a question about Chicago and since nobody posts on that thread I thought I would try my luck here. Here is the 2 day old question:
I am sitting section 105 row R. Anyone have any input on the view? They are WH so I am hoping they are close to the center section. Thanks.

[bdb23]

I know there will be audio equipment there but why would they even bother with a DMB specific info sheet and have that "restriction" on there? Maybe Brian can answer that.

[PilotC150]

I think he made a comment at one point that they haven't gotten their annual "ok" from DMB to allow the recording equipment, and that they usually don't until the band and crew shows up. Something like that, unless I dreamt it up.

I think you're right. Wasn't it something about how it's understood that the band allows audio, but they wait for the "official" ok?

[Crumbo]

I know there will be audio equipment there but why would they even bother with a DMB specific info sheet and have that "restriction" on there? Maybe Brian can answer that.

it says that on The Dead's specific info sheet also......IMO it's nothing to worry about

......IMO it's nothing to worry about


:thumbsup There's always this kind of worry when the tours start because the individual venues always say "No Audio." Everything always works out.

91 days of Alpine on the wall, 91 days of Alpine.

One fell, what the hell, 90 days of Alpine on the wall.

[crashintosabine]

I swear, these 90 days are going to FLY by. It just seems like last week when we started counting down from 125. :D

[DMBfan14567]

I hope it flies by , I can't wait!!!

[alpinevalley]

I think you're right. Wasn't it something about how it's understood that the band allows audio, but they wait for the "official" ok?
Hi All:

Sorry about the delay in responding, but it's hiring season at Alpine and hiring a security staff of 400 is no easy task. Anyway, I just wanted to answer your question regarding recording equipment.

It's our theatre policy not to allow recording at any show. The security rider that we will receive from the band (typically 3-4 weeks before the show) will dictate if/how our policy changes.

So, to avoid dissappointment and the guest questions of, "I read at one point that recording was allowed, and now you say it's not..." we always post the most restrictive policies on the site for now until we get the "official" word on things.

So, if/when DMB says it's OK to allow recording and we read their policies surrounding recording, the day of show information on our site will be changed and I will most certainly let you know.

Happy Mothers Day...

Regards,
Brian

Just for extra clarification, seats in section X01 are always odds, and X03 are evens. I'm not sure about X02, though.
Hi:

You are correct, sections 101 and 201 have odd numbered seating beginning with the lowest numbers at the center aisle. Sections 103 and 203 have even numbered seating with the lowest numbered seats at the center aisle. Sections 102 and 202 have consecutive numbered seating starting with seat 100 and going up. Seat 100 starts on the aisle between 103-102 and 203-202. Hope that helps.

Is anyone else gonna do premier parking?

If so we should meet before we enter the lot and park and party together:)

[bdb23]

I'm going with a huge group of people and 2 of them got premier parking. I told them the real party is in the main lots.

[crashintosabine]

The girls and I were thinking about it. Have you done the premier parking at Alpine before?

[Crumbo]

I'm going with a huge group of people and 2 of them got premier parking. I told them the real party is in the main lots.

premier parking is in the main lot.....it's right near the entrance of the theater in the blue/red lot....your just aren't in the middle of the party.

Premier parking is worth it if you don't want to be stuck in the lot for 2-3 hours afterwords becasue there is an easy exit out.....and yes I have been in premier parking before:)

[missycor]

We've talked about it, but haven't decided if we want to spend the $20 for it.

[PilotC150]

Not worth it unless you just HAVE to get outta the lot right away after the show. Otherwise just sit outside and chill and maybe cook out again, that's what we did last year. It was a good time.

[bdb23]

Exactly. The only thing missing after the show is the sun.

[MelissaDMBfan]

I haven't had any major problems getting out of the lot. Last year I got out with in 45 minutes. You just have make your way around people. :)

It's usually a pain getting out of the lot for me b/c I get there so damn early. But it only bothers me on the last night b/c I dread the drive back to downtown.

Yeah. Last year, I did the same thing. Heard WYA begin and took off. I had already heard that at Tweeter so no big deal. I got out of the lot in about 2 minutes and flew home. I had to have the windows open to keep me up.

[crashintosabine]

I think we'll most likely go with the premier parking. I know the party is in the other lots, but I'd much rather head on out in a decent amount of time after the show and avoid the masses of drunkened traffic.

[Crumbo]

If you get there early and park in the blue lot and you are towards the front of the venue I can show you a way to get out early after night 2

Sounds good. I don't know how cool they are to let you park in a specific lot. They mostly just herd you in like cattle.

Yep, we actually set them off in '00, '01, and '02. Those things are a crowd pleaser, for sure. Each one goes for about 3-4 minutes, it should be fun. Last year I came into Alpine from the north (Spooner) and missed Beloit. My moronic friends coming from Iowa forgot to stop and pick any up at the border. This year we'll have 6.

Some national fireworks chain is building in Beloit right now, at the same exit as Cornellier's (where y'all usually stop, I assume). From what I understand, they should be open by Alpine. The City Council is hasseling them right now though, so I'm not positive.

My sarcasm sensor must be a bit off right now.....I can't tell if you're joking or not.

[liog_dmb]

I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere when it comes to NHL teams. I am a Red Wings fan because one of their rivals is Chicago and it's the next closest team to Wisconsin than the Blackhawks. Actually, my license plate is "RD WNGZ". But, I'm also a Wild fan because Minneapolis is about as close as Detroit is.

I figure it's ok to have loyalties to two teams as long as I don't have a home NHL team.....we have the Admirals who are up 3-1 in the Calder Cup quarter finals over Chicago.

[rapunzelchick]

It's totally okay to have loyalties to two teams....I'm a Blackhawks fan because I grew up in Chicgao....and I'm a Wild fan because I've made Minnesota my home. Same with the Bears and the Vikings.

The only time it's troublesome is when they play one another. I usually end up cheering for Chicago because I lived there for the first 17 years of my life and have only been here in Minnesota for 7 years. Check back with me in 10 years and we'll see who I'm rooting for...

Probably brats, hot dogs or chicken. Hamburgers are kind of a pain IMO. Sunday will probably be Subway (tradition for the Sunday show).

[PilotC150]

Probably hamburgers and hotdogs. The two easiest things to cook and eat in a parking lot without a table. Chicking would be awesome, but is too much hassle to eat if you actually wanna cut it up instead of eating it like a corn-dog. Although I suppose you could eat chicken like chicken-on-a-stick.

If you're making hamburgers, what's so much more difficult about making chicken breasts and putting them on hamburger buns? Just marinate it or slather some BBQ sauce on it.

[Crumbo]

Amstel Light both days
Hot dogs and brats for day 1

Damn. I might hit up Costco and get me some fat steaks for night 1. I've got around 16 people coming up with me and we're all bringing our own grilling stuff. Mostly I go with burgers, brats, chicken, and even some shrimp ka-bobs.

[DMBfan14567]

I think I'm gonna need to know where a grocery store is near my hotel, because we're bringing our cooler and grill with us on the train but no food...for logistical reasons...but usually we grill hots/burgers and chicken...and you can't forget corn on the cob and my world famous pasta salad...as for drinking...depends on the mood...wanna get drunk it'll be Blue Light, wanna relax gonna have to go with Yuengling :thumbsup

Supposedly, if you buy the 5 mile versions, you have to get a $30 FCC permit, but nobody ever does. Expect to pay about $30-$40 per pair.

Ultimate Electronics(formerly Audio King) has a good selection.

Tailgating:
We'll have ground cow patties, all-cow hotdogs, and bratwurst.

Yeah, earlier this week, it was about 80 and pleasant, today its about 50 and rain all day. It was kind of a pain in the ass last summer when it rained night 2....standing on the lawn was a pain because it felt like you were going to slip on your back every 3 minutes.

No tank tops & shorts in MI yet...I guess that means Alpine is down the block and then around the corner for us. :lol
