24 hours to take off and starting to get worried because I have already heard"Why is all the Rum gone?" twice.

One ticket question...in section 203, how far to the right are seats 66 and 68? Hopefully not all the way....

How early do you have to go in in order to get a decent spot on the lawn?

We will be coming in the resort back entrance so we wont have to wait in the line at the top and come all the way down.

Cheers

The problem is there isn't a decent lawn seat. Unless your in the back...
The front gets really nasty come show time..
Everyone is pushing trying to make their way up to the front....

Best advice.. Get there early enough to get a seat on the front lawn rail....

about 2/3 to the right. Maybe a little more to the middle...
I believe the last seats are at 103 ish....

I agree, if you get there early enough the front rail is the best spot. It was great last year. As the encore closed in we did have a few people try to push their way forward with unfortunate success. My advice, if you have 4-6 people in your group, spread out, try to stay linked and stay wide and you shouldn't have a problem keeping your space. Have one person right next to the mini stair platform - you'll know what I mean when you get there. Good luck, and have fun!!

I never realize what time it is when I'm whooping it up in the lot.
Our group is going to try and get in a little early this year, to get a better spot, we'll see how it goes.

We usually stand by the sound booth, in the 'tapers' area for the best sound. There's a beer stand right there, its not too distracting.

Bump for finns!

We line up on the side of the road at about 11:00 ish....
We usually get in the First or second row of cars in the lot.

Then you are in for a treat....

About 45,000 + tailgating and about 38,000 at the show...
It's always cool if you are in the pavilion and look behind you at all the people...... Have fun!!!!!!

somebody out there speed up my workday please

"kick it in second wind...got 2 more hours to go.."

I think the clock is slow...

awww poop - our group won't be ready to load up until 1.

I bet we will be in the dang green lot.

*phht*

This is going to be a great weekend. I thought about not doing Alpine this year and doing Cincy or Indy because I do Alpine every year and hadnt been to Cincy or Indy in a few summers but I am sure glad I chose Alpine. If it rains the lawn is going to be a mess but it should be interesting. Some of my favorite shows have been when it rains!
For those who werent aware, Mac is playing Friday night at a benefit show for Randy Salerno, a friend of both him and Jimmy who died this last year. It is in crystal lake,il and should be a good time!

Is it Great Woods yet?

More I get done today, the more chance I have of going to Lake Geneva tomorrow!!!
