Re: Who's going to the D (Detroit) July 26th?

I was joking about the Groupon, but was really glad DH hadn't made it to the box office yet! Looks like we're bringing a couple of virgins with us.

Re: Who's going to the D (Detroit) July 26th?

After listening to Fogerty on RM, we decided to go. However, I'm really tempted to wait and see if there's a Groupon for tickets.

Re: green smoothies

Ooooh, I love green smoothies! I've tried making them myself, but am not good about the shopping, chopping, etc. necessary for that. My local Mariano's (grocery store) has a fresh smoothie bar that I visit every weekend. The key ingredients are kale and spinach, but also have to have the necessary ...

Re: Who's Going to Detroit (Comerica Park) July 20th??

Was the condo I posted earlier booked? It would definitely sleep six.

And seriously- try Priceline, just don't go below however many stars they give the Book Cadillac or Greektown- the casino hotels are the only ones down there that are nice, so those will be the ones you get if you get anything.

Re: Who's going to Austin, TX, 05-02-13 TIME CHANGE pg 1 !!

We have driven by the venue several times lately. We use the tollway to go to New Baunfels and San Antonio. There really is not a lot out there.... although there is a convenience store with a McDonalds and such but I am not sure if that is before or after the Airport. I am thinking it may be betwe...

Re: Who's Going to Detroit (Comerica Park) July 20th??

I think most people are staying at home, or their friends' homes. This condo is amazing, and and across from the backup lots, but they're not so ok with loud parties there (friends rented it for a week last summer). http://www.vrbo.com/160224 Other friends got the Book Cadillac for $100 on either Pr...

Re: Stranded cruise ship/mother in law

Aaand now it's the Legend, too. Sounds like they broke one of the Azipods (from a quick Google, it sounds like it's the tranny for one of the props), so everything is fine, they're just moving slowly.

Re: Joss Whedon

Wow, the production values are much higher than I would have expected for something shot in Joss's backyard! I told Tom I would even go to the theater that doesn't have wine to see this one.

And I'm wearing Entirely Unlike Tea today.

Re: Bring Back the Intermissions, Jimmy!!

Intermissions were okay, but I can certainly do without them. If I were to make ANY complaint about a Buffett concert, it would be to stop ending the shows with "Fins", and put it in the main set. Go back to ending with "Lovely Cruise," "Tin Cup Chalice", "Distant...

I like the intermission because I don't like sitting during the show- even for sit-down songs.

Re: "club tickets" vs. getting your own.

One advantage of club seats is that it's nice to know you're sitting with 300 parrotheads, so even if people are whining that you're standing up, you have a lot of backup.

Then again, I haven't been a club member in 7 years, and only sat in my club seats once.

I second Alpine. Or Chicago, but Alpine would be my first recommendation! Frankly.......Phriends from here in Michigan went to Chicago last year & were disapointed with the tailgate big time! It depends which stadium- Bridgestone is awesome, and they're there to make sure you have a good time (...
