Friday Fenway Parties?????

What are the options?
Jersey girls coming in for the weekend with Friday tickets. (2 JB Virgins) Arriving early afternoon Friday.
Can't imagine a JB concert without a tailgate, although I have done Madison Square Garden in February. It won't be the same as Great Woods.
Does anyone have anything planned?
Is there a park nearby that we can get a permit to have a party?
Great Woods Gathering? Bus to Fenway?

What do you think of this......................
We all go to Great Woods to do the Tailgate and we rent buses to take us to and from Fenway??????
Anyone interested????

while it sounds fun, just too far too much traffic i would suggest we come up with one of the bars, whos on first or copperfields etc.. and go with that if it is nice out well spend time and money on the area they set aside in yawkey way bring money cuz itll be expensive with alo tof time to drink before hand we were in whos on first last wed after the sox game and they told us they would be open early, around 11, with the corona and cuervo distributors on hand we have a friend who works for gambrinas out of texax so we are asking him if he knows of other corona sponsored events i just think you want to be close to the park as the area will be jumping

OK Just found this....................
Corona Extra & Corona Light present The Jimmy Buffett Tailgate Party Tickets Fri, Sep 10, 2004 at 04:00 PM (EDT)at Avalon & Axis in Boston, MA
The city of Boston has said no tailgating around Fenway for the concert, so WAAF, WEEI, WRKO, & Star 93.7 have decided to throw a huge tailgate party inside Landsdown Street's two biggest rooms. We will take over Avalon & Axis with music by the Jon Frattasio Band (opened for Buffett last year) and food from Jake's Dixie Roadhouse all included in your price of admission.

& Rooms at the Buckminster~ Just booked so still has availability.
There's the same deal for Sunday too.
Tickets are $21 bucks + shipping.

You are welcome to socialize in both (very large) clubs. There will be bands in both clubs. Special appearances by Jim and Peter Mayer. Buffet concert ticket give-aways. Tickets are $20 each and are available at

I am going with a group of 8 to the Corona party, but no matter what the party will NOT be able to even come close to Greatwoods. Greeatwoods would be a 10 and this, in my wiledst dreams, will be around a 4. Bubba better move back to Mansfield next year........

FYI...Tiki Room opens at noon on Friday and has no cover charge (that's a plus). Looks like a cool, but small place. Not sure how early you'd have to get in line in order to get in.
My buddy and I are in for the Corona party at 4:00, but need to throw a few back waaaaay before 4:00.
Anybody thinking about Dick's Last Resort? Just a hop, skip and a jump away from Fenway. Definitely a party atmosphere.

I'm also going to axis/avalon, 8 of us. We saw John Frattisio last month and he was awsome and our parrothead club said that Peter and Jim Mayer might show up!!!! I thought the food and all for 25.00 was a good deal to get in.

Hello All, I'm trying to contact / organize Hotel tailgating (parties) at the Hotel Buckminster. The Buckminster is across the street from Fenway Park. According to the front desk they still have rooms available.
www.bostonhotelbuckminster.com Let's make the Buckminster a Parrothead village! Push for the 6th floor. If you have a room, let us know...

I was at tiki bar this weekend and they are planning to open at noon on Friday. No covercharge, but they anticipate very long lines since the bar is so small!
