We'll also have a cooler, and obviously we'll have a fridge on board. I'll also have a small grill, but I think it's not very good, so if someone else has a grill... all the better.
After Toronto and no tail-gating (well, extremely limited) I'm looking forward to having fun. I hope Monday feels more like FRIDAY!
this guy has it figured out... I just hope i pace myself better than I did in Toronto, but I cant complain, we had lawn seats and met some girls who invited us down to their 6th row seats and on top of that i met Mr. Utley!!! I was VERY drunk though i needed the setlist and pictures to remember the show
a few items

i almost forgot. we have 2 blenders that we could bring. one is the kind you plug into your cig lighter and the other is a hand crank job ( no comments please). at the 2002 concert, we spoke to a couple that have the hand crank one and they said it does an excellent job.

If anyone needs directions to the shopping plaza-feel free to let me know. I'm from the area so I can get you there. It is really, really easy to get there. It takes a special person to get lost.

We used to have a hand crank one - it does a decent job. We're bringing one blender.. so more is more gooder!

The shopping plaza is easy to find. When you pull off the highway the Great Woods entrance will be on your right drive past it for about 3/4 of a mile and the plaza is on the left (I think you enter the town of Norton just as you pass GW) . There is a McDonalds right out in front. There is a Super Market (Roach Brother's) there as well. In the past we have all met there, transfered our stuff (coolers, food) into the RV(s) then drove into GW and walked over to the RV section. This is better than carrying full coolers across the lot. If I can be so Bold lets all plan on meeting in this shopping plaza at 9:30 Monday.

The 2003 Greatwoods tailgating party was fantastic! Every time I listen to the "Live in Mansfield" CD, it reminds me of the great day & concert it was. I can't wait until Monday to party with you all again.
Jimmy is back where he belongs........GREATWOODS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

you guys are going to be in alot earlier than us, we have to pull the kids out of their last day of school, then drop them off at the P's house We will probably be pulling in around 1 pm if you are there at 10, you will probably be put in on the left as you drive the road into the rv lot, as ours is only 25 feet we are usually put in on the left as well. All are welcome to stop by and I am sure we will find the rock star rv

I like my sand to be clean, new and unused
I will probably head to GW around 7:30.
The weather is looking good!

Perhaps a bit of overkill, but I just picked up a small kiddie pool... if the weather is warm enough, I'll have the water to fill it up with
I like it when a celebration comes together!!
