Many thanks!
ive never had a problem booking at the Grand Geneva Resort, or their water park, Timber Ridge Lodge

WHO'S STAYING AT THE ALPINE RESORT???? booked the rumored date back in January!

She was very nice but she also asked if I was coming out there for the DMB shows. After I said yes she told me three seperate times about how they are hiring many extra security guards for this, doing checks at the entrance for people returnign from the show, and her and her husband are going to be camping alongside us all.

    So what im kind of wondering is....is this place going to be as free spirited as you all say it was? Or is it going to be another bong state?
    We are staying there as well and emailed before we made our reservation. They said that you can't drink as much as you want and stay up as late as you want but just can't be too loud after 11.

    This ownership change concerns me a little but I really don't think it will be that big of a deal. Bong State is regulated by the state. I'm sure by "security" they mean having their neighbors make sure everyone is ok and that people aren't getting a free stay. All campgrounds do that.

    Anyone caught any word of the opener for N1? Hoping for either Zac Brown Band to swing over from Milwaukee or Grace Potter to drive up from Chicago.

    Maybe I think the coutndown is too important. We'll just leave it as 134 days. One day closer just feels that good!

    I'm pumped that the concert is Friday/Saturday. The extra long weekend will feel so nice!

    I want to go to this, but camping is not an option, I like to pretend I am outdoorsy, but I am not.

    Am I totally screwed in terms of lodging?

    If you rent a car you'll be fine. There's still places that are about 1/2 hour away from the venue that have availability. Like the place that I'm staying.

    edit: PM for any questions Ange.
