I gazed upon the amphitheater and said "woo hoo!" in my head! 84 days to go!

Wow! That is quite a workout! I have neverseen those sites in my gym. Those are the benefits of exercise outdoors I guess! HAHA! Well before you know it that old gentleman will have his ass placed at the tiki bar for a BLUE CUP tailgate party! 80 more days

Your keet will learn more from the tailgate/shows than she will in school....

We take ours to MOTM every year, so she misses a week of school. We do a lot of volunteer work for PHIP for the event while we're there so we use the "service project" excuse.

Hmm, thinking that way, perhaps some extra credit for school could be found.

One of our bank customers has some kind of tie to the band or the crew or something (like I care WHY!). Any tips on the best way to get there from northern New England?

If you have a little time on your side, consider taking the car ferry from either New London or from Bridgeport. Costs a little more but the trip is beautiful and most importantly STRESS FREE. No fighting into NYC and then back out onto Long Island. The New London ferry lands at Orient Point, then you drive the length of Long Island, but against the traffic. The Bridgeport ferry lands at Port Jefferson.

I'll have to see if my co-worker and fellow PH can break free to do that. Sounds great!
Thanks Jen
