Re: Blue lot at Alpine 6/7/12
We didn't even attempt to leave the yellow lot until 2:00. It's just dumb to even try to leave within an hour after the show unless you are late arriving to Alpine and in the back of the lot. We love tailgating after the show just as much as before it!

Yellow Lot was titz. I parked there both nights, and got out onto the highway within ten minutes of getting to my car.

This is the correct way to do Alpine.

People need to understand that this is DMB 3.0. You will never have 1.0 (91-00) or 2.0 (2001-2007) ever again. Just enjoy what you have while you still have it.

fixed for accuracy.

If you don't tailgate after the show, you're doing it wrong.

Same here. Lots had 50 cars left when we decided to pack it up. Good times.

Re: Blue lot at Alpine 6/7/12
We were in row 2 Friday and row 1 Satuday of Yellow lot. Knew we weren't getting out for a while, so sat up shop and relaxed. I can't tell you how long I looked at the same car not moving, and just getting more and more pissed the longer he was standing still.

Only been to Alpine once in 07 and it took us probably 1½ to 2 hours to get out of that god damn lot.

By the way, this is why the Gorge wins. We march 1 mile back to our tents .

People doing this are what makes getting out such a lengthy and painful process.

disagree completely. it took me over an hour to get out of Bethel's parking lot and towards the end it was 100% because nobody in front of me was being aggressive. if you are content just sitting then, then don't get in a line where people behind you are waiting on your ass to move. be aggressive (and smart and safe) and I guarantee you'll save yourself a lot of time in parking lots.

My car squeezing in towards the front of the line did not hold up 300 cars behind me. they were the ones that chose to go in the complete opposite direction of the exit.

exactly right. It's called driving assertively. Being aggressive without being an asshole.
