There are plenty of places to stay near Jones Beach. The Marriott in Uniondale is next to the Meadowbrook Parkway which will get you to Jones Beach in about 10 minutes. It's a big hotel and the drawback is that it is a bit pricey.flipflopgirl wrote:

I've never seen anything like that at a Jones Beach show before.
Wonder if they'll permit it just for this show.Tropic_Al wrote:Well, we'll just have to make sure we abide by those rules on August 27thLIPH wrote:BTW, when I went to the James Taylor concert Saturday there was a sign just as you drive into the parking lot -

I take it back - I take it back ....we must have Nautical Wheelers at Jones Beach - I can get the obscure DSTC songs at another show, right? Well, they've always had no alcohol signs here at Walnut Creek, but obviously nobody worried about that or enforced anything when Jimmy was here last.LIPH wrote:BTW, when I went to the James Taylor concert Saturday there was a sign just as you drive into the parking lot -

Jones Beach is a state park and you're not allowed to have alcohol in state parks in NY, you can't even buy a beer at the concession stands when you go inside. But as long as you don't walk around the lot with a bottle or can you should be fine. We've never had any problems with the state park police in the lot. At one Buffett show, a police officer told us to cover the liquor bottles with a towel or a blanket so he wouldn't see them the next time he drove by. I've always thought the police only give you a hard time if you give them a reason to.magnus & Mr Moon wrote:you're not supposed to loiter at Gruene Hall either...LIPH wrote:BTW, when I went to the James Taylor concert Saturday there was a sign just as you drive into the parking lot -

I couldn't even imagine those rules coming close to being followed for a Buffett show at Jones Beach. Maybe someone could launch an overnight covert op to take the signs down the night before the show...lolLIPH wrote:BTW, when I went to the James Taylor concert Saturday there was a sign just as you drive into the parking lot -
