I have friends like that too, giving them a deadline is probably a good idea!C-Dawg wrote: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.ScarletB wrote:Hotel should be no big deal, I already got mine, easy enough to cancel if you have to.C-Dawg wrote:I'll try LN next Sat, but after reading the trials and tribulations of those today, I'm not holding out hope.

Anyone heard if they're planning another "Islandfest" with Nadirah, Peter Mayer etc. as they had last year?
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 hope they have "Islandfest" again.....I was sad that we missed it last year. If they have it again, I won't.
Would make sense.....JB plays GW on the 25th and 27th...then nothing til the weekend of the 4th....would leave a few days for Islandfest...we can only hopeSchoolGirlHeart wrote: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...
I think I'd book now. As soon as the hotels hear the concert date, the rates will go up. You can always cut back the number of rooms.C-Dawg wrote: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.ScarletB wrote:Hotel should be no big deal, I already got mine, easy enough to cancel if you have to.C-Dawg wrote:I'll try LN next Sat, but after reading the trials and tribulations of those today, I'm not holding out hope.

Good point...I'll call my friends in the morning and get and idea of our number, and then order rooms.SchoolGirlHeart wrote:I think I'd book now.

if I can make it to North Carolina, then you can make it to Mass.Wino you know wrote:There's no way I can make it to MA, but I'm wondering if I should go on line and try to get tickets to help other people who aren't able to get them, or just stay off the net so I don't clog it up for people who ARE trying.
Such a dilemma.
I'm starting to wonder about the Saturday "on sale" date, it's getting a little close with no official announcement yet. I may have to schedule a morning off to get tickets if it's during the week!dewyduster wrote:June dates are good! The stressful time starts now though - getting enough tickets for 55-70 people. And less than a week to coordinate a ticket purchasing posse...
Yeah, I'm hoping they do it again....was sad we had to miss it last year.MacPhin wrote: also, is the islandfest the same thing that the crb had last year up in exeter or something else??
me as well.C-Dawg wrote:We're booked at the Comfort Inn.....Thursday thru Sunday
that's for the people who show up at the GW box office to get tickets.MacPhin wrote:what is this thing about the ticket lottery that was previously mentioned.. is that just for the phish show??
Has anyone done that before at GW? Just curious, not sure i could do it but if it means better tickets I'd give it a shot, though then it means I'm not online.SchoolGirlHeart wrote:that's for the people who show up at the GW box office to get tickets.MacPhin wrote:what is this thing about the ticket lottery that was previously mentioned.. is that just for the phish show??
Someone (Steele?) went up there yesterday to get Phish tickets and was seven-hundred-something in the lottery. That wouldn't give you time to get back to a computer, and you're screwed. I only live 45 minutes from GW and I'm going to give it my best shot online, I think (although, moot point... I'm supposed to be out of town for work).ScarletB wrote:Has anyone done that before at GW?
