--Anyone else heard of anyone having problems with staying at the Alpine Valley Resort? Eric and Ryan were not impressed at all....many rude people and they had to walk A LONG WAY....needless to say...they will be joining us on the bus next year!...I tried telling them....
Alpine Resort is OK, but it in not a BN/PH friendly place...... heard several people complain again about it and the walk is a pain in the butt!

Hey all. I heard the concert on RM and had my own little parothead party.
You all were the
LOUDEST audience of all the concerts I've heard or been to this year! You guys REALLY ROCKED!!!!!!!
Just spoke to Ladyparrothead, she was in chicago, on her way to the sears tower to take in the sights fron the observation deck. and of course she has to have some Chicago pizza and buy pins at the Har5drock Cafe and the Hotel for her collection.
She should be home tomorrow night. So I'm sure she'll be on to tell you what a great time she had.
Hope everyone made it home safe and sober..........I mean sound!

I get the feeling that this party is still going on, then why am I back in Ohio?
Oh yea, w@#k tommorrow to pay for my CHicago trip.
It was great meeting everyone, even the ones that I have already forgotten.

It was great meeting a lot of you. I had a fantastic time at the show.
After I left the group by the Whale Shark to head back to the Chicago Bus, I ran into Brian on his ATV. Needless to say, he'll be on the video. I found trying to shoot video of the Alpine Valley tailgating a little overwhelming. Too much going on and not enough time to shoot. I'll put together what I've got. It's also going to be hard for this video to achieve a PG-13 rating...For some reason everywhere I went young ladies wanted to show me their boobs. Try explaining THAT video to your wife.
Lupy, thanks again for the Beef Logs and I hope those who got to sample them enjoyed them. When I got back to the Chicago Bus with the 3 remaining logs, my wife started grilling me to the third degree over who you were, why you were buying me beef logs, etc. etc. I honestly believe that my wife was concerned that I had started some kind of online affair

.
Our bus driver decided that the most optimal route to take back from East Troy to Naperville, IL was to take Rte 12 to Rte 59 in Lake Zurich and then take it all the way south to Naperville. It took 2.5 hours to make a trip that normally could be done in an hour and a half...ugh!
The only two downers of the trip were the stress associated with the bus trip (Our Head Bus organizer got called out of town on business and decided not to communicate with anyone about it until 4 days before the trip) and the fact that someone stole my brand new Baggo Game from underneath our Bus

. I had customized the game to include posters of Jimmy Buffett and I guess someone must have REALLY wanted it.

Hey all! Well IALeft and Right made it home ok, and we've already started brainstorming for next year's Alpine trip!!! We stayed in Lake Geneva at the Harbor Shores resort right on the lake and we had a great stay there! Including the short 15 minute drive to Alpine! It was really great meeting all of you BNers that we hadn't met yet, including the ones we reunited with from Dallas! Love all of those pics! I'll add some of mine tomorrow once I get some sleep tonight.
CRC hope you made it home ok, you're a wild one and we love ya! Can't wait to hook up with you and the rest again soon!

Land_Shark3...great to meet you again! Hope you and your fiance enjoyed the tickets...I'm sure you did, how can you not right? hahah! Safe travels back to Atlanta! Who knows...maybe we all will need to come see you someday!
JaneLovesJimmy...great to see you and Steve again! Steve your sense of humor still cracks me up!
Ok, I know I've left some of you off, because I can't remember who all I met, but please know that I enjoyed meeting all of you! And I look forward to seeing all of the BN family again soon!

You to?!? I meant to buy the CD when we got back to the Best Western. Considering it was so late (and I had had a beer or two

) I forgot and stumbled across the street empty handed.

It was great to see you as well. I really appreciate the tickets and we both had fun (minus the drive to MKE this morning for her 9:30 flight).
I'm still in Milwaukee until tomorrow morning. BTW, there's no tv reception at my hotel because of the storms outside.

Unfortunately, I won't be in Atlanta until next Monday. Ah, life on the road.

OP, don't forget that when you get it put together, I'd like a copy of Dallas and Alpine!
