Re: Who Went to Great Woods 6/23/12 ?
Any chance anybody has video of Changes in Latitudes? From what I'm told, our tailgate site made the big screen but I didn't get a chance to see it. Would love to see some video if it's out there..........

Re: Who's going to Jones Beach 8/30?
Yes, Newfoundland can be quite the lengthy trip, but well worth it! Interesting.....Great Woods is my stomping grounds, too! Definitely not my back yard, but that's as close as JB comes to us, so it turns into an eight hour drive every year! This will be my first time at Jones Beach, which of cours...

Re: Who's going to Jones Beach 8/30?
You know what? I'm just a couple hours away from the Cabot Trail and I've NEVER done it! I always mean to, but everything else just gets in the way. Funny how in a few weeks, I'm going to drive 800 miles to take in another JB concert, yet we don't take the time to explore our own backyard... Did you...

Re: Who's going to Jones Beach 8/30?
Glad to hear you enjoyed this neck of the woods! I've never camped there, but I'm a biker and spend lots of time around there. There's lots of super spots around. Feel free to look me up if and when you're heading back and I can give you some super tips on spots to visit and/or stay!

The Bay of Fundy is my backyard. Beautiful place, but of course we take it for granted!

ZBB Question
Heading down to see JB again in Jones Beach on Aug 30. On the way home, we're going to take in the Zac Brown Band at Mohegan Sun. Anyone have any idea if there will be a tailgating scene there at all?

Re: Who's going to Jones Beach 8/30?
Just checked and a couple good sized blocks of seats opened up for anyone who's in the market! I just got mine. Gonna be a hell of a 13 hour drive to get there, but I'm in! I'm a Great Woods guy. Never been to Jones Beach. From what I can gather, tailgating is pretty much wide open? Grills and tents...

Re: Looking for a great venue!
What's the deal on tics? I know I can hit up stubhub and pay more than face value, but is it safe to show up without tics and find someone selling before the show? I'm not too crazy about investing a load of cash in travel, hotel, car rental etc and risk not having a decent seat, but don't really wa...

Re: Looking for a great venue!
Thanks again for the info so far, guys! Ampitheater looks super, as long as it doesn't rain! That would be a bummer. As far as flights go, I would have to drive about four hours to Bangor, Me....then hop a flight from there. Best deals I can see to JFK or to Vegas are in the $450 return range, so ei...

Re: Looking for a great venue!
Ok guys and gals. Jones Beach is looking pretty appealing right now....so that might be the plan. I assume balls out tailgating is permitted there? Anyone have any recommendations for a decent hotel nearby? And yes, gf will be VERY limited on intake of alcohol!!

Looking for a great venue!
Ok fellow parrotheads! Check this one out! I've been going to GreatWoods for about five years and it is the party of a lifetime! I'm in New Brunswick, Canada.....so it's about a nine hour drive, but well worth it! So.....I head down last month with 5 Buffett virgins in tow. Three vehicles full of ro...
