Depends when you want the party to start. There will be a core group at the "Park N Ride" Car-Pooling parking lot at the I-75/Sashabaw Rd. exit probably by 9:00 am or so. You can hang there for awhile & make a few new phriends.

Well, that sounds like a good time! is there room for our 55 person party bus there??

Well....during normal economic times I would say could be a problem. With SO MANY people currently being unemployed here in Michigan the Park N Ride may be a tad less congested.

That was so miserable! At least there were no bathroom lines though!

Ditto!
Mine may have also been the best because it was my first concert.

Can you guys believe how long we have been sitting on these tickets?? I totally forgot we were one of the first shows announced until I pulled out the tickets and credit card slip yesterday.

I know. I think they went on sale in Feb? Too long to wait, though anticipation is half the fun.

I do think I'll still be going. I'm hoping there will be a ticket for me in Toronto the weekend before.... lots of travelling and lots of "stuff" to get through before then. But I am so looking forward to seeing you all again or meeting the new ones.

My first time was 6 hours in the rain at DTE ...................never had a better time in my life, but I would much rather have 85 and sunny!!!!!!

My first time was at the Palace in November 2001. Low temp that night was 28 degrees. Got there around 5:00 pm so temp was probably about 40 or so & dropping into the night. Still was running around with only cargo shorts & Hawaiin shirt. WAS AWESOME!!!

that was a fun concert! It was Brendan's first; if you consider that I was pregnant with him at the time.....nothing like tail gating in mid winter In the dark, with a few bonfires lit to help keep track of beach balls and snow banks. I don't care what anyone says, you haven't lived until you have done a Buffett concert in the dead of winter....it truly is fun!


BTW, we hope to make it to Detroit to play around in the parking lot if not the concert as well. Doc, you up to riding with us if we need a ticket to get us through the gates??? We will have a bathroom......

Last year we asked where the Porto Johns were and they said there weren't any so the chick in the red shirt said to use the woods. We did and as Hula Moe was doing "watch" for me they said is someone peeing in the woods? She said yes and they said tell her she can be fined for that.................whatever?
Provide me a solution and I would have gladly used it.

Yes Hula Moe was "watch" for me as well!

The woods became a Porta Potty for one side men other ladies
Then a free for all by late afternoon one of the lows of the lots

But looking forward to seeing folks again.
See you all soon
