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"

NH Parrotheads are speculating the 23rd. But it is kind of hard to guess since GW only has one show on their schedule.

Why rule out the 16th? JB singing duo on "Life is a Highway" would be interesting! :D

Just had a look in the 2011 GW thread.

The date wasn't confirmed until March 8 last year...

Comfort Inn and Residence Inn are showing around $120/night for the weekend of 6/22, that's pretty much the usual rate, isn't it?

Yes but usually it's February, last year I'm sure they were waiting to see his status after the stage dive.

AAA rate for Comfort Inn is $108 but yeah, that's normal these days. Hmm, if I can do Residence Inn for the same I may switch, it's much nicer.

Last year I got Comfort Inn for $89/night on Fathers Day weekend but I had booked it in January. I ended up giving the room away when we couldn't make it but once the show was announced I think it was around $159/night. So this current rate being shone indicates that JB isn't booked for 6/22, at least not yet.

The Rascal Flatts/father's day weekend 6/16 is showing $155/night.

As far as which to book, I like the Comfort Inn because the 99 Pub is right there. But the Residence Inn does have a pool.

Since I won't be there long enough to use the pool that really doesn't make a difference but yes 99 is convenient for sure. IF there's another 2 day show then Res Inn is good because you have a place to keep drinks and stuff for 2 days. Although now that we have Chef Dave, that's even less of an issue. And I booked it before Rascal Flatts announced and I got it for $108 too.

Just a feeling but I think the years of two day shows in this market are done.

Wow. How the mighty have fallen. If confirmed I guess there is some merit to a monday off for a long weekend for many of the Parrot Heads who travel far for Great Woods. I think I might punt this unless I can get lawn tickets for face value. It will be a fun time, of course - but hard to make a monday show legendary (which is my standard for Great Woods).
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .
