***Gorge 2010*** Labor Day Weekend

Greetings All!

So i know this seems preemptive, and it probably is, but I am reminded of my first Gorge trip in 2008. The thread for that year was started on November 29th, 2007, when the thread starter happened to look at the Labor Day weekend Schedule for next year and discovered it completely blocked. So, out of sheer boredom and nostalgia, i decided to look at the availability for Best Western Lakefront Inn at Moses Lake, the hotel that Warehouse lottos extra rooms off to WH'ers (and the obligatory in the past this has been used to accurately predict tour dates for the Gorge), and sure enough, it is reserved for Friday and Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. Does this only mean two nights at the gorge this year? probably not, they will probably be departing right after the show to get to the next destination. Regardless, see for yourself. http://book.bestwestern.com/bestwest...ertyCode=48045

now, of course you shouldnt book plane tickets or anything yet, but its never to early to anticipate. Look forward to an awesome weekend of DMB's 2nd Tour post-Big Whiskey, and can't wait to see and meet more of you again!

    yeah last year (09) was the first time we went prepared. We brought with us this awesome Cone party tent thing that held up to the wind and rain wonderfully- We named our camp Davestock, and I know that lot of the AM's people beyond the ones i met and that came to hang out saw us. This next year we will be definitely going with Premier at least, even possibly Wildhorse.

    Also, Live nation changed the way they do camping at the gorge. Premier is huge now, encompassing the area that used to be where Shakedown St. and all the other food vendors were, at the bottom of the campground closest to the amphitheater. Shakedown st set up in the back in 09(around 3 o'clock if you are looking at the campground from an aerial view) before dissolving due to a lack of business. Most of them ended up in the middle of the campground in a much reduced fashion. So, who knows how that's going to work out this year.


    edit: a timer!

    I'll probably do Premiere the first year. I hear good things about Wildhorse but I want to be at the Gorge for the entire weekend, I'll do Wildhorse in 2011.

    I'm pumped for the Gorge, hopefully it doesn't interfere too much with school and I can afford to take those days off. I don't think I've ever let anything stop me from going to a show however, those classes will just have to wait.

    I seriously scheduled like 3 online classes last semester because I knew there would be a spring tour, but we didn't know the dates yet. Luckily it never ended up coming into play, I just had to re-arrange some finals to go to Vegas. No big deal.

    They usually roll out of town right after the last show at a venue.

    In 2004 I missed my grad school orientation cause it interfered with the gorge. My sister literally drove me from the gorge to the airport and I moved to Boston right after Labor Day weekend. You do what you gotta do to be there!

    Davestock is available to inherit all the possible #1derland Refugees.
    Granted, you have to accept the fact that we are Boise State fans, as Jesse was so gracious to do so last year (09)

    I was thinking that too, and the two options on the table that make the most sense are:
    1. They are on a tight tour schedule and need to split ASAP from the venue on N3 OR
    2. Theyre only planning two nights at the gorge this coming tour, which would be the first time they havent played 3 nights in almost a decade (or more than a decade? too lazy to look)
