I am assuming/hoping there will be a Mac show at the State Theater on Friday August 26th?

Me too Surfpirate....I considered going to Jones Beach this year, but there was something special about those two nights last year with Mac (friday) and Jimmy (Saturday) so we are coming back to Virginia. Looking forward to seeing everyone in August!

Wow, the Bristow show was just announced today and the Best Western Battlefield Motel (where we've stayed for 5 years straight) had no rooms available on Saturday, August 27........that was quick!

Just booked at the Holiday Inn also on Balls Ford Road across Route 234 from the Best Western.......http://www.holidayinn.com/hotels/us/en/ ... oteldetail

So nice to see the word "Tentative" removed from the thread heading........

we changed our hotel from 4 points to the Hampton Inn which we think/hope is a little closer to the Lowes where we met up last year.

Just covering my bases, 4 1/2 months is kind of a long way out for someone my age to be making plans for anything. But in case I can make it, I'm booked at the Best Western on Mathis Ave., AAA rate is $85 for Fri night and $93.75 for Sat. I think that's where I stayed 2 years ago.

shouldn't you be looking for AARP rates?

I'm not a member (I'm old enough) but AAA was a little cheaper.

Nothing within walking distance, but just keep checking this thread as others discuss motel options, parking lot strategies, etc., OK?

Bristow (I still can't call it "The Lube") is a great venue for tailgating and I've never had a bad seat. Hopefully you can meet up with us other BNers at the show.....

IF by some chance there is not a show at the State Theater.........John Prine is playing at Wolf Trap on August 26.
