Rick and I have been working on all the angles we can think of. We have contacted PHiP, Margaritaville Foods, Tour Manager of some of the Reefers, Comcast Operations, Comcast Security, and pretty much anybody we can think of. We have just got a local contact for Live Nation and Rick will be contacting them today. We are trying to work out every compromise that we can think of. All the New England Club Leaders have agreed that one person should take the lead on all the club’s behalf, and elected me. The sticky point for the clubs is that the club tickets are in jeopardy if we do not follow PHiP’s rules, one of which is that nobody is supposed to contact the venue with requests. So we must tread lightly.


You all know the history, as most of you have been going as long as I have, almost 20 years. . . As of right now, PHCOEM, and maybe some other NE clubs, will be meeting at the Shaws, Rte 140 South in Mansfield at 9am. We will be ready to head in at 9:30. The plan is to send a scout and see if they are serious about turning us away. If we can get in, we’ll call the caravan and give them the green light. One concern I have is that if we go in without permission, that they will ask us to leave after we are set up and cooking. If they do not let us in at 9:30, we will come up with a new plan. Saturday’s show is advertised as a noon start, so that will not be as big of an impact.

After the concerts, there will be a formal response sent, at least from PHCOEM’s BOD and I am sure from all the New England Clubs. I am as outraged about this injustice to his most loyal PHans, as you are.

We are Parrot Heads, we will survive. PHINS TO GREAT WOODS – and may the margaritas never stop flowing. . .

Thanks,
Kathy

We have been working to confirm the parking lot details and were hoping to actually have them bend the rules and let us in earlier than the posted times. That is NOT going to happen. They are serious about the 3pm Thursday and noon Saturday opening times. In addition, we understand that Mansfield and surrounding Police will be patrolling local parking lots and hotels and disbanding any groups they find loitering there.

OK so I imagine that means we just get to sleep in and have the party around the pool at the Residence Inn? And just what the H*LL did we ever do to deserve this kind of treatment?

All this negativity about opening times and anti-tailgating is disturbing!
I though Great Woods was supposed to have the best parking lot on the tour!! ?? !!

Me neither, last year I was swearing at Chris when he woke me up at 6am.."you got to be &@#$H kidding me, doesn't anyone sleep around here" ~ I ended up drinking a bloody mary and the sleeping in the back of the car until 11am at the tailgate breathing in exhaust from someone's generator. I need time to detox. His thought is you can sleep when your dead.
