What's better, Chocolate Vanilla or Strawberry? Come on....

Vegas has no talegate and the party last year was quite lame compared to priors.

It is what it is, and is what you make of it.

You're love's put me at the top of the world

You don't have to drive all over looking for a place to park, walk to the party, go back to the car, and then drive to the venue. I have been to Cincy but honestly like Indy more. I will have to report back about Alpine Valley as that is the road trip we have planned for this year.
Yes Indy is a great show also. I love having the Sleepybear a couple hundred yards from the entrance to Deer Creek. I stayed there for the 04 show and met lots of great people. The campground isn't much on amminities, but it is a safe walk back after the show. I wish more venues had camping so close. You don't have to wait for the lot to open to start the tailgate party.

indy gets a very bad rap. i have always had a great time in those lots! i have also camped at sleepy bear for a buffett show and it was great...i think :lol:

Been to 2-4 concerts every year for the past 17 years (I started early - Thank you older sister!) I would have to go with the home court of Great Woods! But I agree Ive been to some not so great venues (Mohegan) for instance - where the crowd was small and the party was indoors, and still met great people and enjoyed Jimmy none the less. It really is what you make of it :lol:

sorry, but I gotta throw some Don Julio on this fire...

All the aforementioned locations I'm sure are quite fine, and probably make for great weenie roasts and AA meetings :o

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

He's living in my basement, raiding my beer fridge and liquor cabinet on a nightly basis....and getting ready to go back to the New England Parrotthead Convention next week....if and when he sobers up, i'll ask him.
BTW, I think he's planning on touring again this summer :D
