Providence (PVD).

Providence is WAAYYYYY closer than Boston or Hartford. Only reason to use BOS or BDL is if the airfare is *significantly* cheaper.

Unless Southwest flies from their airport. Maybe it would be about the same as Boston, possibly cheaper then.

Hopefully it won't be a problem bringing a keg in.... I had issues the last time and was thankful the cops didn't say anything.

I'll just hide it under my shirt.

As long as you're not hiding it in your pants......

As the guy in Irish Kevin's says to just about every nice looking woman who walks by the stage: Is that a keg of beer in your jeans? 'Cause I'd sure like to tap that ass.

Shots with strangers?? Who would do a crazy thing like that??

Only the best of the best. Thats who!````

Patron, the taste of Great Woods at 8AM on a Saturday morning.

Some day I will tell my grand kids that I was shooting tequilla at dawn in the middle of a hurricane with a bunch of pirates . . . god that was fun! That really is what it is all about SGH . . . fun people and good times.

Oh the stories we CAN tell!

Depends.... USAIR and Northwest often have sales to PVD. I'd have to be saving at LEAST $50 to fight my way in and out of Boston. Not to mention how easy it is to get lost if you don't know the area.

I'm in the Comfort Inn, figured I'd book a room before the hotels hear about the concerts and jack up the rates.

BTW, what's all this talk about drinking? I don't know if I can do that.

We're only going to be drinking water.

That's why I was saying it would be easier to get to Mansfield from Providence.

But will it blow up and go to hell?

I was just reminded that I have a family function that will not allow me to be anywhere near the Comcast Center on Saturday. It will be the phone, but it really does not matter. I usually get my Pavilion seats the week before the show anyway.

FYI. The Lottery at the Comcast Center for Phish - 700 numbers passed out (#500 to #1,200). They picked 634. I was 757.

I don't expect that many people on Saturday. It was tough to park. Only so many spaces available near the box office. The parking lots are not plowed. Cars were parked single file all the way down to the main entrance.

If you are going down to the be part of the lottery, get there early. If not, it is a long walk from the main enterance.

Ouch, that sux.....

I'm thinking the week before the show works much better.....

Anyone heard if they're planning another "Islandfest" with Nadirah, Peter Mayer etc. as they had last year?

Book the hotel right now! You can always cancel.

Haven't heard anything about and Islandfest, no.

Hotel should be no big deal, I already got mine, easy enough to cancel if you have to.
I had to miss "Islandfest" last year but since this year it doesn't coincide with my vacation I'd be able to make it, hope they do it again!

I'm going to book rooms soon also....just waiting to hear from friends who over the past year have sworn they want to join us this year....I've given them til Wed to tell me how many rooms to book.

I hope they have "Islandfest" again.....I was sad that we missed it last year. If they have it again, I won't.

Great Woods is often the end of a tour leg, then JB goes on vacation. If that holds true this time, maybe the CRB will hang around for Islandfest or something like it...
