I will be in Jones Beach early. (in case anyone was wondering) I will post as soon as I have info on the parking situation. I don't see the parking @ Zach's Bay being closed for long, even if the beach isn't open. I've talked to the Park Police in previous years and they know what's coming...And are very liberal. Except for Red cups. Don't forget your blue cups!!

Al -read what I wrote -I called the person in charge of the lot at Zach's Bay -normally they only open 2 hrs before the concert but for Jimmy they will open around 10-11am -And yes I have my Blue Cups!!!!

Hey! How is everyone?? We are getting a little nervous...my husband and I just got back to check out to see if Zach's Bay is closed, and it was!!! We saw a couple of guys in a truck who work there and we asked what time they would be opening for the JB concert They informed us because of the budget that the beach has been closed and will open at 4:00!!!! He did say if there is a line they will probably open earlier. We have sooooo much to set up we are flippin out......We hope someone has better news for us!! We are going to take another ride there around 4 today to see if we can find someone to find out more information. Let us know if anyone knows for sure if they are going to open early, we got there at 7:00 a.m last year to set up...We have 50 people coming so we are nervous....

[SchoolGirlHeart]

Anyone considering seeing Ilo in NYC on Tuesday night?

hello...I know I haven't been around here from quite a while, hell, most of you don't even know who I am...so I am out of the loop!
Was wondering if there is a active list of who's going to Jones beach??

[LIBuffettFan]

I wonder if we are going to get a clear answer on what time the lot is opeing. I know there was a response that said the lot would open early that day at like 10 or 11 AM and that sounded like it came from a reliable source. But now I am seeing 4:00 and two hours before show time. I still havent gotten a response from my email from the state. I bet if everyone lined up on the ocean parkway in the morning they would let us in I don't know if I would take the word of someone zipping around in one of those maintenance trucks as they may not know for sure if there is special arrangments for that day.

[Tropic_Al]

Do not listen to the guys zipping around -Like I was told for a normal concert it only opens up a couple of hrs before -but I got it from the person in charge that the lot will be open early for Buffett -Also Al is there with the seagulls & will update us as to the situation.

Tropic_Al's Blue Cup Dawn Patrol at your service!

I will pass on any info as soon as I get it!
A quick survey - how many vehicles / BN'ers are coming? And do we want to park in the same area? If we can?
In the past, they have been liberal in the parking, allowing cars & Rv's to park together. Some venues seperate the vehicle types, making it hard to all park together. I am not making any promises, implied or otherwise, but maybe, with talking to the right people in the lot the morning of the show, we may have a chance of getting some spaces close to each other. And with the help of other early arrivals, might be able to park in the vicinity of each other.
Or not. We had success in Camden getting a large group together. We'll see how this plays out. If it doesn't work, we'll see you there anyway.
PM your info, name, cell # This is not a cell phone list, I don't have time to do that. Just approximate count & cell#'s of other early arrivals, please.

Can't wait to see everyone - sorry, we haven't posted much lately, but we've been mega-busy. We will be leaving very early in the am Tuesday for the Best Western and hope to make it in plenty of time for dinner, if that's still a possiblity. (If not, we can always stand outside the window at your table and give you puppy-dog-pathetic-eyes the whole time. )

So, Christine, you can start breathing again - yes, we'll be there!
