KCCI has announced it also.

Our club is telling us Bubba will be in Des Moines at the Iowa Events Center in Wells Fargo Arena on May 22.

I know I've read before that Wrigley always puts a no-compete clause in their contracts, and that Alpine falls under that clause. That's what I've heard when Buffett played there, as well as Zac Brown Band, who opted to go to Milwaukee which presumably is outside the no-compete area. Does anyone he...

On the bright side ... we did get our tickets today for the Billy Joel concert ...

So Zac is playing Alpine opposite Jimmy at Tinley, and he's playing Fenway opposite Jimmy in Mansfield. Coincidence? Are they feuding? Are they coordinating it so parrotheads can see Jimmy on Saturday and Zac on Sunday? I just thought it was interesting.

Well, damnit! Some hotel rooms just opened up at the Elkhorn Hampton Inn for 8/27, in case anyone is interested ....

Alpine shows two weeks in a row?

Odd post today on the Alpine Valley FB page ...

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

First concert announcement of 2014 is coming soon...Who will it be and when? Hint: It's not the obvious guess. More to come, stay tuned

As always, take it for what it's worth, but this was posted on the Alpine Valley FB page a couple of days ago by someone (not Alpine)

jimmy buffett and john fogerty 8-23-14. confirmed by fogerty source.

Your mileage may vary.

Take it for what it's worth, but the President of the Dubuque club sent out an email a little while ago that started out: Sorry about the VERY short notice, but it is beginning to look like there is not going to be an Alpine Valley Show this year and I have been told our Venue will be Chicago. Almos...

PHiP ticket coordinator is requesting numbers wanted. Good enough for me!

No, Bruce doesn't use that lot as a driving range anymore. And I was unaware there were no RV hookups. Sorry. It's no problem. Lots of people bring their RVs and just run them off the battery or use a generator. I just didn't want someone showing up expecting electric and water hookups. Fill you wa...

I've never been to Alpine and would be interested in going this year. Is there a place nearby to have an RV and camp out for the show and tailgate? Two Seasons Bowl in Elkhorn, WI starting on Thursday before the concert. You have to call the bowling alley to make tour reservation. I have their phon...

Was able to get hotel rooms at Elk Horn Hampton today for all weekends except 7/20, 7/27, and 8/31. Does that mean anything? Probably not, but still .........

Alright kiddies .... start your blenders.

The Dubuque club has announced that ticket requests have to be in for the Alpine show this week. August 25th is the date.

More info on the camping ..... http://gazettextra.com/news/2011/mar/01/camping-okd-alpine-valley/ Campground rules include no barefoot walking, no campfires, lights out at 2 a.m., no charcoal grilling, no vending or fireworks, no pets and no glass bottles or kegs. Not sure how that could be consider...

Just waiting for the June 25 date to become official. It looks to be all but a done deal .....

Same weekend as last year. Works for me!
