Who's going to Alpine Valley - June 26th 2010

[Patriotic Phlocker]

Our computer is back! Yay - I missed being here!
The margarita jello shots sound awesome, Phlocker - can't wait to try them. So, party at your place this weekend. Is this the one you've talked about before? I'm spending the weekend doing laundry and packing to get ready to leave for Florida next Wednesday. After putting up with Disney for a couple of days we're stopping at Margaritaville then heading to Anna Maria Island for a week of R&R - and maybe some margarita jello shots! Can't wait to hit the beach bars!
Concert on Radio Margaritaville this Saturday and only 67 more days till Alpine!

Nope, just an old Air Force buddy coming to town to help me dispose of a bunch of home brew and golf. The big party will be June 19th and I hope I remember it.

Is it Alpine yet?

Anyone know how long the drive is from Chicago airport to Lake Geneva? I guess this could be a 3rd option for Friday night arrival.

Per Google Maps, anywhere from an hour and fifteen to an hour and a half, depending on your route. Traffic on I-294 on a Friday evening will be bad, if you choose that route. I think there may still be some construction on the northern end as well to factor in.

Hey Captain P - great to hear from you again!

[Hoosier PH]

If anyone is still looking, more tickets released on ticketmaster.

Thank you for the information on the mileage and the tip on the construction!

Take a couple of seconds to vote for a good cause! Help out the Alzheimer's Association and the Des Moines Parrotheads

In the last day the entry has gone from not on the leaderboard to currently in 3rd place. Currently 50 votes shy of first place...if we get another 150 votes like we did in the last 24 hours it should be enough to put us over the top. The contest ends tomorrow evening. Try voting again from another computer/PDA and please pass on to all of your friends! Details below:

One of our Des Moines Parrothead Club members is currently in a photo contest to win a trip to Margaritaville (The winner gets a trip to the Carribbean or Mexico). Their entry is not very far behind in the voting from the current leader, and they have called on the Parrotheads to help put them over the top. If their Parrothead friends are able to put them over the top, and they win the contest, they will be donating $500 to the Des Moines Parrothead Club (1/2 going as a donation in the clubs name to the Alzheimer's Association and 1/2 going to the club account). Voting will only take about 2 seconds if you click on the link ( click here ), and the contest does not require any personal information, so you won't have to worry about getting spam later. There is no form or anything to fill out, just go to the link and click on the number 10 and then you are done, it's that easy . Voting ends today, so please do this right away! Please forward this on to anyone you think can help (You can also vote from more than 1 computer or even a PDA). Let's see if we can help out one of our club members as well as the Alzheimer's Association and the club! Thanks for your help and Phins Up!

Come to Alpine!! You'll love it!! Only two more months to go now...can't wait!!

[I-94 North]

So what's everyone planning to do before the BIG SHOW? Is there an official tailgate planned? If so, I'd be happy to bring whatever is needed.

[sunseeker]

Where is everyone staying?

Where is everyone staying?

Anywhere except a hospital bed or a jail cell!

Actually, I was hoping to find a inexpensive room near Delavan or L. Geneva but I think I waited too long again this year. Does anyone know of any available rooms in the area? We'll probably end up just sleeping in our car like we did 2 years ago

Well...this one time at the Frisco show..."ohhhh phritz.....you wanna finish this story?" LOL

I have a feeling the chances of me coming are slim unless I find a hotel room......

[Barefoot Gypsy]

Haven't been to Alpine in years! Can't wait to be on the lawn with all the crazy lawn people. Forgot to book room so that should be a fun challenge. After I got tickets I zoned out. The floor of the van may have to work. Bring on the party!!

Depends on your mode of transport..Janesville (where I probably stay) is about an hour west and the Milwaukee metro is about 30-45 min up I43

[WWJBD?]

Just released a room at the Janesville Best Western today if anyone needs a room. I would call quick though.

[Glorfindel7]

I booked a room at Lake Lawn Resort in Geneva a few weeks back...
(Due to a fairly bad experience as far as hotel rooms go....stand up heater/ac unit ?!?.... I forked over a couple more bucks to get a room with climate control....)

I am not letting us fall off the front page with only two months to go!!!
