Considering that we all started booking rooms before it was common knowledge I can just imagine the comments from the staff when reservations started pouring in for that weekend "OH Buffett must be coming that weekend!" I wonder if they still have the beads I gave them last year? 8)

When I booked the front desk person asked what was going on that weekend. Evidently they had been flooded with calls.

Hi all,

This is weird - I just went onto Live Nation and did a search on Buffett. There are two sets of dates coming up. If you search by artist then just scroll down the page (don't click on link) I see Friday and Sunday on the front page but when you click on that link to the right to get to the page it shows Thursday and Saturday. :-? Then if you go back to the original search and click on the artist link Thursday an Sunday shows up. Do you think it's possible they are going to be adding 2 more shows? That would be awesome! :o Am I losing my mind or is this happening to others? All shows going on sale 3/10. Do you buy your tix through Live Nation or Ticketbastard? Just curious.

Can't wait - GW was THE best Buffet concert I EVER went to! We didn't go to any concerts last year - all fell on family events! So we are long overdue!

Also - hubby and I going to MOTM this year! YIPEE!! :D

Booked 2 rooms at the Courtyard Marriott in Norwood...about 10 miles I'm told. $123.00 a night. Will keep looking for something closer, but wanted at least nail down something. Comfort Inn is sold out.

I will need to stop by the end zone and pick up some items I left behind in the parking lot last year after getting chased out by Foxboro's finest.

Will be crossing my fingers for tickets!
And as I grow older, there is so much that I do not know. I'm drawn to those who are bolder and go where no one dares to go...

Cammac, Red Roof and Holiday Inn in Mansfield both had rooms late yesterday. I work in Shelton.

That hotel is a little bit of a hike to Great Woods. Not extremely far but if the Holiday Inn or Comfort inn has rooms still available in Mansfield I would try to switch.

Yeah. To Norwood is highway driving. Three highways . . 495 to 95 to 1. Police everywhere - - - beware.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .
