This was a great question, and the answers are as everyone states - personal. I have been to 115 shows, with 80+ since 1997. 13 in 2000 alone. Whew, this has been a wild ride. In the process, I bought a tour bus in 2004 to go to the shows in out west....even painted "Meet Me in Margaritaville&q...

Irvine lives up to it's reputation..... Hello Parrotheads, and hello again to everyone we saw at both the shows. My wife and I had our "Margaritaville Bus" at both shows (and proud to say we slept in the lot overnight both times). Irvine was wild on Thursday in the lot, and INSANE Saturday...

On the lot opening.... We got in at 2:20. There were only about five buses & RV's, and maybe 40 cars waiting at 12:30 across the street. However, I expect a LOT more people showing up early tomorrow as it of course the weekend. I have a feeling the lot will open around 1 pm, but of course, that ...

Bumper.... Great Post! It was indeed a magical night. The day was mostly great as well. The weather Gods really did a number, sunny and warm. An odd thing, all of us RVer's were put out to pasture on the far fence as opposed to the front row, always known as RV Alley. Then we were told not to put ou...

A friend of mine just drove by the entrance today and they have a flashing sign saying no entrance until 3pm and no entrance to the parking lot without tickets. Is this a scare tactic or true? Well, this could be the first year this happens, however, here is a page from the past years: About 5/6 ye...

Depends on the venue. I average 6 - 8 shows per year, the record was 13 in 2000. Within Driving distance.....INSANE. For Irvine, San Diego, and Phoenix: In the early 90's, at all shows I brought in the parking lot a 30' SeaRay boat "Island Dancer" in on a trailer behind my Suburban, wide ...

damn, I wanna go to Irvine..... :( It is great to get him back. When his Mom dies and he cancelled, we really got off track, which of course So Cal fans totally understood. Anaheim was a poor second to Irvine, even thought the venue and staff were great. If you are in Hawaii......21 day advance is ...

Depends on the venue. I average 6 - 8 shows per year, the record was 13 in 2000. Out of town shows.....middle of road. Fly in, stay at decent hotel, rent a Suburban or Excursion SUV. Slap my PIRET40 California tags on the rented vehicle (yes I know it is illegal). Mark up the windows with "Buff...
