Thanks, Ellen (I hoped nobody would notice my gaffe). :-? .
ONCE AGAIN, had I read ALL the posts in this thread (more specifically, YOURS), I would've saw that.
When I spoke to "Mr. X" on the phone last night, he didn't know. (It wasn't Dino). :lol:

Looking forward to seeing you again, Sweetie! 8)

Is there going to be a bus chartered out of Chicago to TP or any hotels around TP area that are close?

I think last time I was in TP for his show we stayed at Days Inn ???

We stay there everytime there is a show at alpine and have a blast. PH's take over the place for the weekend and it is one big party. It is in mukwonago, WI and is about 10 miles from alipne. It is also the closest campground to the venue that allows alcohol. If anyone would like the name and number of the campground send me a private message and I can hook you up. Weather should be great for camping at the end of July.

Great place - you'll enjoy staying there. A group of 30 did when he played three years ago. Fortunatly we now have someone who lives close with a big yard!

Anyone know where the tickets are going on-sale thru? Nothing on Alpine's site yet...

No better news for a 0-degree day in Wisconsin!!!

Thanks for the info, Ellen.

Did the ad say anything about ticket prices?

Right back at you!

Q&S-no prices listed-sorry. I was just so shocked to see the ad since we have always known the dates before the ad came out!

What the heck is up? The ad sections of a newspaper being the source of concert dates before Margaritaville.com even has ANY dates ????

Several bars should have buses out of Chi town. 3 yrs ago it was $80 for the trip (the Dubliner?) and I think half the people missed the bus back home including my buddies.

Great news isn't it. Alpine rules! I have confirmed my beer deck at the show again this year. That means I have 50 tickets as of today! No messing with ticketmaster! Starting to plan the bus trip already.

Long live Jimmy!
