I am also looking for accomidations near by. Also is since we will be coming in a small car with limited space, I was wondering if we could meet up with some BN'er for the tailgate? Any suggestions, we'll be more than happy to add to the mix?
The last time Buffett played Jones Beach 2 years ago some people stayed at the Gateway Inn (I think, it might be called the Gateway Motel) on Sunrise Highway in Merrick. It's 1/2 mile east of the Meadowbrook Parkway, a straight shot down to the beach. There's a Best Western in Massapequa, the BW website calls it the Best Western Bar Harbor. It's a little farther east but still not that far from the beach. There used to be a Holiday Inn in Rockville Centre but that's a Best Western now. It's west of the Gateway and not as close to the parkway but still an easy trip to the beach.
Thanks for the info. The BW at Rockville was booked but the BW Bar Harbour had rooms. Looks like that's where we will be. Thanks again.

The Days Inn in Hicksville isn't high class, but the price is right. And two years ago, it was good enough for the Margaritaville Shrimp Bus. :D

I thought about it... I did drive back both nights last year for the GW shows. I booked a room just to be on the safe side. So we'll see! I can't wait to drive to a show in my new car! WOO HOO!!!! With the top down and everything! (And I guess I'll take the top down on the wrangler too!)
