Not sure if anything going on, but I'll be in Lake Geneva trying to see if Jimmy's in town a day early!

I remember the old days when the "Who's Going To Alpine" thread was the longest int he history of BN.

Now...4 posts.

So sad.

Pretty depressing how quiet this is. For anyone following, this past week there was a late ticket drop on Ticketmaster. There’s a ton of great seats released. I picked up 5 for my crew in 203, row N, right near aisle.

Really wish something was happening the night before. Guess we’ll have to get creative on our own.

I agree, thought this thread would be a lot more busy since it's been 3 years since Jimmy's been back to Alpine

Bus Parking at Alpine?

Post by mikeruzicka »

Does anyone know how much a bus will cost this year?

I've tried FB and the landline to Alpine (which just gives a busy signal, ha ha) but have not been able to find any info re: large vehicle parking. In the past it was $100 then went to $200.
Thanks

Jim, several of the posts were in "Tour Dates and Rumors", so I merged the topics.

Hi friends.
My son and I will be making it to Alpine this year after a few years absence. Looking forward to it. Hoping to see a few old buddies. We are arriving Friday and staying Fri and Sat Burlington. Anyone else staying there? Any get together on Fri night? Any get together on Sat in the parking lot?

Is there any list of who is going?

Looking forward to my first Buffett concert in about 5 years.

We went to Hemingway's in Lake Geneva on Friday night before the Alpine shows in 2016. It was the last year they were open and the complete facility is now gone. It was a great party!! Live band that played late. It would be nice if some bar/restaurant in the area would make the Friday before Buffett a "trop-rock" night.

Found the Thirty Parrot party posted for Friday in Como. Would be looking to pay for a ride with a few other folks from Alpine Resort and back. No Uber in area from what I see. There has been one in the past. Any info is really appreciated.

Great to see you yesterday!! I went to take my bar off and move away from the speaker to hear, then ran into a few other chums and lost you.

Who’s going on August 20th?

Seems like most of the ire isn't really directed at the postponement per se, but the time it took the actual venue to issue any information when other sources were already confirming it.

Truly a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.
It was too much tequila . . . . or not quite enough.

It was about 20-30 minutes between the Tweet going out and security fanning out through Premiere Parking. The bigger issue that I saw was cars were still entering the lot that entire time.

Uber does operate in the area, but there are few drivers.
SOURCE: I am one of them but will not be driving on Buffett weekend!
