Re: Why did I wait so long to do this?
Was it me, or was there are remarkable reduction in the number of beach balls? I remember the pavilion being like a popcorn popper. This year - two stray balls. Funny I actually MISSED dodging those - it was like a warm up for Hot Hot HOT... ![beadygrinner [smilie=beadygrinner.gif]](./images/smilies/beadygrinner.gif)

Re: Why did I wait so long to do this?
There were beach balls all right; it's just that the steady wind that night kept blowing them all to the front of the pavilion and (in a lot of cases) up onto stage. Jimmy, Mac, and the Reeferettes kicked a few of them back out into the crowd, but most of them got shunted offstage into the wings. In addition, I saw the security people puncture and deflate some of the oversized ones that were in violation of the "rules".cmpete wrote:Was it me, or was there are remarkable reduction in the number of beach balls?

Re: Why did I wait so long to do this?
I've never been to Alpine Valley, but now that i'm back in the great Midwest, I'd like to get a show there sometime soon. How does it compare other venues (both inside and outside the concert), like, say, Great Woods, Frisco, etc.?
