I got Patrick's phone number so if a couple of friends of mine come early enough, we'll be able to meet up with you later.

36 hours notice, I bet there will be thousands of people who won't know about this change.

. . . I agree. Definitely a WEAK move by whom ever. This would have been better handled as a postponed show, for the benefit of the far travelers.

As lame as it may be, we should be in the lot no later than 9:00 am.

We have until tomorrow to cancel the hotel room (for Saturday), but I'm thinking of keeping it. We're at the Comfort Inn. Anyone else from this forum going to be there? Is it worth hanging on to the room, and just continuing the party at the hotel on Saturday?

What are others doing about the room situation?

There are a bunch of us from BN at th Comfort Inn.....I'm heading out in a few hours to drive down, as soon as I get my a$$ off BN and pack the car

Keep the room, after they throw us out of GW after the show, we'll tailgate in the Comfort Inn lot and have a Hurricane party, or take over a hallway like we used to do when we were Hockey parents going to tournaments. This could turn out to be better than an 8pm start....we just have to make it happen.

Keeping the room.

One of my biggest disappointments at JB concerts is just shuffling back to the room still on a high from the music and the experience and going to bed because I was so dog tired.

Now I can party before, party at, and party after !!! Perfect!!!!!!!!!

I'm at the Red Roof, so rather than drive somewhere else, I'm going to stay put and meet a whole new group of interesting people who love Jimmy.

P.S. I do have to buy more beer though - enough to share after the concert!!!

Huh? The far travelers might not be able to afford another long road trip and/or plane ticket. This way they get the show....

Are you sure we would have to cancel the room today? I was under the impression we could cancel until 4pm on Saturday. Maybe I read it wrong?
