Who's going to Nissan...er....The Lube on 9/2/10 (Thursday)?

Post by SkoolGrl<3 »

Might as well get this thread started before it develops an inferiority complex next to the Saturday (9/4/10) thread!

Who's kickin' off Critterpalooza 3 on Thursday???

Planning to caravan to The Lube??? Then you definitely want to be on the list.
If you want to be on the phone list, please PM me the following:

BN Name
Name
# in group
email address
cell phone number
hotel
attending 9/2? 9/4? Both?
caravaning from Lowe's?

Tipsy sent the list out around 2:00 PM EDT today (Tuesday, 8/31)
and is unable to make additional updates.

The contact list is pretty much for your use if you're trying to track down your fellow tailgaters, though if anything comes up last minute, we’ll try to distribute a txt message to everyone on the list.


FINAL UPDATE 8/31 1:00 PM EDT

(Okay, so the rest of the thread was updated yesterday except for this here lil' note on 9/1 - Skoolie and Sanjuro are ready to hit the road shortly and will try to check this thread periodically. SAFE TRAVELS TO ALL! See you soon!)

Buffetteer role call has been moved to the end of this post, so scroll down to see who’s coming.

BATTLEPLAN AND MAP on page 20! Thanks, Bob!
Click here to see Surfpirate's post later in this thread.

CARAVAN PLAN:
Meet at Lowe's Home Improvement (Gainesville). Get there as early as you wish, but plan to arrive by 11:30 AM so that we can get organized and ready to have wheels in motion towards The Lube 12:00 PM EDT.

TAILGATE TAGS FOR CARAVAN: Printing is courtesy of Saltx3 and PA Parrot, so click the link to check them out! viewtopic.php?f=40&t=81086&start=828

Premier parking lot is $30 cash at the venue as you roll in. General parking is what was included in the price of your ticket (so they say); however the caravan is heading to premier as that is what gets you in the parking lot earliest.

If you’re not caravaning but wonder about other parking options, there's some kind of Fast Lane Access parking for sale. On my last call to the venue, they described it as for the gate that's furthest to the right.

AS OF TUESDAY NOON (8/31): The not-so-friendly staffer who answered the phone at The Lube today noted general parking opens at 3:00. I asked about what time premier parking opens, and she repeated that general parking opens at 3:00 but any cars arriving earlier can talk to the parking attendant. Patterns have shown the venue’s official word on what time parking opens is for suckers :lol: :lol: :lol: , and to keep with our ‘paloozin’ tradition as it was with previous years, so shall it be this year: see caravan plan noted above.

GOING TO SEE ILO AND MAC ON FRIDAY?
If anyone would like to supply details on the show or pre-show festivities, please PM me. I’m happy to post them right here. :)
Click here to see a separate thread dedicated to the show. Details may be available but not updated here.

WHAT TO BRING
Smiles and lively energy!
Generally we've shared space and everyone has brought their own stuff/food as well as food/drink to share. So if you've got it, bring it!

But just to have a better idea of what you can bank on being available, in case you're limited in how much you can load up in your vehicle, please PM me if you want to list what you're bringingsuch as: EZ Up Tents, grills, tables, etc. I’ve tried to keep up with posts on the thread, but well, sometimes I miss stuff, and that lil pink slacker just takes up space. [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]


Canopy/EZ Up Tent - Saltx3, “the” surfpirate, owbishop, va.parrothead
Grill - Saltx3 (small charcoal baby!), owbishop, va.parrothead (small grill), tailgaitingph
Table - Saltx3 (card table), "the" surfpirate, Sanjuro/SkoolGrl, owbishop, va.parrothead
frozen concoction maker - va.parrothead
water for the pole shower - va.parrothead/ndlattitudechangeva, BlondeNBlue1, tailgaitingph, Sanjuro/Skoolie
D batteries for shower - tailgaitingph

Food and drink you might be able to get in on:
tailgatingph - Will be bringing jello shots and the ice luge to share (you guys might have to come to our camp for the luge as it is heavy and not easily moved). Also will have my generator so if you guys have inflatables you want blown up - not a problem, although I have heard strippers like to blow”
Saltx3 - hotdogs and buns
Sanjuro/SkoolGrl - some liquid stuff to be determined as of this update, prolly chips-n-salsa
owbishop/Eli7160 - Burgers and hot dogs and store bought beer (sorry no Lifeguard Lager, a bit lazy this year) are on our menu.
va.parrothead/ndlattitudechangeva - to share.... still thinking about... more than likely spiked watermelons and marg. cake?

More stuff??? PM me to list it here
tailgate toss - va.parrothead
ladder golf - Sanjuro/Skoolie

Deadline was yesterday, so this is the end of updating the contact list as Skoolie won't be able to work on it later today or this evening. I'm betting you'll still be able to find the tailgate on Thursday even if you're not able to call to find your fellow 'paloozers. [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]

I just looked at Jet Blue and it's dirt cheap from here to DC. How bad is that drive? Or is it close enough for some sort of shuttle??

Does it fly into National, er, Reagan or does it fly into Dulles?

"How bad is that drive?"... hmm... depends on how you define "bad." The distance to the venue is really not bad from either airport, but DC/NoVA traffic is no picnic.

Dulles - and yeah I figured it would be like NYC traffic and I lost those driving skills years ago when I moved to VT!! Though I do occasionally drive in Boston. :o

Hmmm, airfare is so cheap maybe I'll hire a limo! :D

Thanks Eileen for starting this thread!!!! We're going to hope the keet moves into the dorm towards the beginning of the week so we can get her settled and fly home by Thursday. We'll see about coming to the tailgate...... 8) If I can score tix for the Thursday show like I did last year......well how could you turn that down? 8)

I'm probably leaning toward Thursday just like last year since I'll hopefully head for the beach for the long weekend. But, they're giving away tickets again on the radio this week, so we'll see what fate has in store for me. :lol:

Have the phone number already typed into your cell phone so that when they say "call now" you can just hit send. Then keep calling fast and furious until you get through. NEVER take a busy signal to mean you didn't win. Until someone else has won, you're still in the running. Judging by my incredible success with Buffett tickets in particular, they must not be a big draw for the call in giveaways. I've won them probably 4 out of 6 years that I've tried. One of those years I got two pairs of seats next to each other!

So it's like the old days when you tried to call in and buy tickets at TicketMaster. I was hoping you'd have a super secret phone number I could use. Sort of like the Bat phone.
