Anyhow, available to all ideas, suggestions, comments for Bners, phriends, etc..
We would need very long straws for two different locations lol
The first step would be to provide a shuttle bus between the 2 locations. Some sort of drink specials that are valid between both locales. Get a "special guest" who appears at both bars. Buy me lots of free drinks.
Honestly, these are the 2 best pre-Buffett parties every year. I've been going to Hemingway's for years, last year I spent time at both...if you guys made the effort, I bet something could be pulled off...
Some very good suggestions Jim!
Working out the logistical challenges wouldn't be an easy, but not impossible with some creative planning. We've been meaning to check out the Two Season Bash for the past 3-4 years. Perhaps this is the year we can enjoy the best of both world???

The key would be the shuttle. People who are camping at the Four Seasons could get to Hemingways without having to drive, and visa-versa.
The other key would be buying me lots of free drinks!

Sad I can't go this year.
Two reasons...
Reason one, my wife's 25th HS Reunion. I'd try to weasel out of that if it wasn't for:
Reason two, my entertainment dollars for the summer going towards Paul McCartney at Miller Park. My 6-year-old daughter is a huge Beatles fan...this is likely her only chance to see him live.

Jim, you're sure lucky to have such an astute child! I'm guessing most six year old girls are listening to Kidz Bop, Hannah Montana, The Jimmies, etc!

Trained her well. Since she was 2 years old, she refuses to go to bed without the Beatles playing in her room.

Good luck on Monday, Alpiners!
I kinda miss the days of waiting outside the Boston Store at 6AM.

Got my 8 lawn seats! If you are just spinning on the website, use the LiveNation or Ticketmaster app on your phone! Much easier!

I was so excited... I had my cyber fingers on 4 seats in the middle section (202) about 22 rows from the stage, but somehow or other I lost 'em
All I'm finding now are seats in the far rear of the venue or lawn. Sigh!
