Re: *^*^* Alpine 2012 *^*^*

To call Alpine N1 2009 a disappointment is an insult to other things that are disappointing. That was a fucking joke.


On the optimistic side, I'm sensing something great this weekend. Just am.

    Hopefully they're just as excited to get back there as we all are. Glad we have at least one more setlist to watch tomorrow night to help pass the time.

    This is definitely true. Always heard about it...saw pictures....etc. And then I went in 2006. I now tell my friends it's where I want my ashes spread if I go at a young age.

    Hello, fellow Alpiners, I have a quick question regarding premier parking. I'm trying to figure out if I should get it...

    I've bought it once before, but it didn't really help. Did I just take the wrong exit? Is there a certain path you have take so it doesn't take ages to get out?

    Thanks in advance!

    I think it's just the fact that you get to your car first, and you can leave first because of that.

    Looking at that site map, I'm really really really hoping that there's another way to get josh to the stage other than having to go via their shitty shuttle service. If memory serves me correct, I think there's a flat surface along the far side near stage right that usually has merch and beer, but I think it leads to the stage that way... *crosses fingers*

    Only 3 more days guys! They will be my 15th and 16th shows and I am so excited to be back at Alpine. I was at the Chicago Caravan last year (had a great time but the venue was AWFUL) I hope to see some fellow Ants in the lots before the show!

    This sucks! I would definitely scoop these up; but with the recent surgery I had I am not going to risk the bumps and pushing that goes on once the show start.

    Are any of the lots faster to get out of after the show than the others? I know green lot is more of a walk.

    They all funnel out onto the same road so there's really no big advantage to either. Although I think the yellow lot may have 2 exits.

    Not really no, they are all pretty packed and jammed up at the ends.

    Set up your chair, have a few more beers/snacks and watch drunk guys get into arguments with their drunk girlfriends.
    From all the years I have stayed back I have acquired 2 grills, 3 chairs and 1 case of beer along with miscellaneous items as well.

    But what lots you get put into really just depends on what direction you come from when you're headed to the venue, so it's kind of hard to plan for it

    The only time I've ever had a better experience walking over the top of the hill was at the Gorge. Alpine is definitely my second favorite venue and always a great time.
