Cups. I've seen the police make people pour out a beer that was just in a koozie. The nicer police gave people the opportunity to pour the beer in a cup rather than on the ground.

My last time at GW was in '03.

I saw that people we're meeting up at McD's at about 10AM. Did I read much earlier on this long board that people who get there "early" (11AM) get put in some parking lot way out in left field somewhere?

What is the deal with these fliers and would you mind if we joined up?

5 more days...

so your wife is a virgin huh?! ahaha.. sorry, just had to!

Yes, we're meeting at McD's at 10am! and are hoping to be right at the gate for opening at 11am! We'll have extra flyers for you so no worries on that, just ask for Carol or Tam! And no, we usually get the main lot so dont worry about getting stuck somewhere else. (yes, I knocked on wood!)

and of course we dont mind if you join up! the more the merrier!
congrats!! and see ya in 5 days!

Ok, a slight change of plans for the Jedi and my crew of one other.

We are now booked at the Holiday Inn Mansfield and we will be arriving Friday night.

So, we can be at the concert bright and early, so to speak.

From scrolling the threads, it looks like McD's in Norton at 10 AM is the way to go.

We'll have to drive past the venue to do this, but I think it's worth it to go in with the group.

I'm not going to be able to do my traditional tailgate stuff, due to a fender bender last week putting my main Buffett vehicle in less-than-stellar shape, but I'll have the basics. No grills or such, though...which is a pity.

Meet you there.

Weather update.... looks like there MAY be a round of showers in the afternoon but it looks scattered, otherwise, a sunny afternoon.

Thank you for your updated forecast... meteorologist Ravi

I've actually been known to use both. personally I prefer the color blue. There was a lot of talk about blue cups in the Jones Beach thread, and the reference to the red cups just reminded me of that.

A parrothead with an empty cup? I thought that was an urban legend.
