I want to say they would tell me it was $70/night, and it ended up being $105. (those are probably entirely inaccurate figures hto) Not a big deal, but when you tell all your friends they owe you "this" much and then you pay for it and its more... it can create a bit of a hassle.

...or you can just foot the bill because you're so excited to see Dave that you don't even want to deal with the trouble. Not that that's how I dealt with it.

[Jadorsey34]

just reserved my room at americas best value inn for N2 arrival.we stayed there last year and really enjoyed the atmosphere and the walking distance to the venue. I dont have to work Monday because of memorial day so i dont have to rush home sunday either..

[mja271]

just booked a room at America's Best Value Inn for N2! I haven't even talked to any of my friends about it, but I really wanted to stay near the venue for a night this year. Worst case scenario I'll just cancel the booking. Either way, I'm very pumped!

[haybale97]

actually thinking i'm going with the crowne again, we got eight people in there and it only cost each of us 20 bucks. plus that place is real nice and free parking.

Have the prices for Hartford been released yet? I know lawn seats were around $40 last year.

we only stayed for night one, we drove back n2. thankgod we missed that. still choosing the crowne, so far they've been the easiest for sneaking extra people in.

Good question. Last year seemed like Europe had more cookie cutter shows so that could def spill over like it did into alpine n1 last year. Thats the thing-you just have no idea. Hartford is about due far an epic show but not sure I see that happening as the tour opener.

[berman1125]

They will be playing a lot of big whiskey shows ineuro, I hope they change it up for us

I am a big fan of BW but I do hope they reduce the number of songs they play each night. Shit, they could even play 5 different ones each night and I would be very happy with that-just no repeats on two night stops would be awesome (i.e. You and Me, FTWII, WIA). Sets this summer could be amazing but I guess time will tell all.

[thebridge15]

Oh, hello.

Nice to see we're opening shit this year.

i would agrue that the past two n2s have been epic, in both setlist and performances. n2 2008 bartender is still my favorite version of that song

[groton]

thing is there is about two months from the last euro show and our show.

add in the band will rehearse is CT for about a week to two weeks before hartford. I'd say setwise it should be different then europe

for some reason i didnt think there was that big of a gap. i thought it was more like 3 weeks.


are you going to see gracepotter at infinity hall?

[DaWarehouse418]

Hey y'all. I will be going to both nights in Hartford...just cuz they're opening the US tour. Honestly, I've hated the venue the other two times I've gone (N1 of 2004 and 2005)...but I'll give it another shot.

Heya Greg. Is it known-info that they'll rehearse in CT for a week or 2 before Hartford, or you just guessing they will? I'd guess so too. Especially considering they warmed up at the Meadows before MSG last spring.

And yes, I will forever call it the Meadows. "Dodge", "Comcast"- nay... MEADOWS.

[Digitalfury2248]

I was just reminded of this picture, and thought I'd share it in this thread. After a long night of drinking, we stopped thru the McDonald's by the venue (directly next to America's Best Inn).

why didn't you like it? if you have seats and avoid the tailgaiting scene beforehand (if youre not into that kinda stuff) then it's a great place for a show
