no really... Just don't act stupid... Oh, and if you're using a little mini grill to grill food on, don't leave it in the aisles to people trip over it and burn themselves (That's for you Zuke!)

Will there be a BN phlocking on the 11th for those of us not going to Fenway? Also, have any of the trimmed down band members announced any Boston shows?

Does anyone know if there is a vehicle size limit? I emailed customer service at tweeter center and it bounced back.
Oh and is everyone going to be staying in hotels, etc?

We're right outside Springfield, so we'll be coming home to reload and restock supplies in between shows.

We're hoping some of our phriends would be able to help with accomodation and transportation ideas. We have a couple of rooms booked at the Holiday Inn on Hampshire. Any hotel ideas for a parrot phriendly hotel in Boston and how do we get between Boston and Mansfield if we're not renting a car. And of course, how do we get tickets for the game on the 11th? I hear some of the gates open at GW at 9:30am just for JB, is that right?

Hope to meet some of you on 8/10!
I don't know much about hotels in Boston, but it's a long haul to Mansfield (Tweeter Center/Great Woods). The only reason to stay in Boston is if you want to do some sightseeing, etc around the show.

There's no public transportation to Mansfield, so you're going to have to rent a car.

The gates open early, yes! Maybe not until 10:00, but early.

Red Sox tickets?? HAHAHAHAHAHA. It'd be easier and cheaper to find a couple of 10th row center Buffett tickets..... :o
You can take the train from Boston to Mansfield out of Back Bay or Ruggles, its only about 10 bucks round trip.

What do you mean by vehicle size? They have a lot specifically for RV's...but I'm not sure what you're driving, lol....

Actually, yes, that's what I was talking about :)

My parents will be traveling down from "upper" maine and were questioning just driving it straight to the show.

True, but the commuter train doesn't go straight to the venue, but to downtown Mansfield, four or five miles away. There's no train on Saturday, and the last train on Thursday leaves about 11:55. I don't know what the taxi situation into Mansfield is.

I havent heard anything about Peter or Mac yet but they usually do play around Boston the nights before and after so that would be Wednesday and Friday, just thinking. Someone was working on a Peter show. I keep checking their web sites.
