Did the laundry this morning, packed the hammock in the trunk. will actually pack the bag tomorrow. Planning on getting up by 9 and on the road by 10, but something tells me I'll be too excited to sleep much, up by 7 and on the road by 8.

It does but things have to get done so it's either Friday or Saturday, or Sunday (Father's Day, nope).

Sooooooo.... We might just need another contingency plan. The Red Sox are starting their game early on Thurs because of Celts/Lakers Game 7. If JB starts early, hopefully that means the gates open earlier, too. I'll tell ya, though, if they start the show early and don't open the gates earlier I will be P*SSED.

Honestly, I hope they leave the start time as is.

I have a better idea. Leave the show as is. When the show is over, put the last quarter or so of the game up on the GW big screens. I like this idea! :D

I actually have wondered if he would bump the start time up earlier. I doubt it but I would not be surprised if he took the stage at 8pm sharp instead of 8:15 so he can end a bit earlier. But even still, I bet a lot pf people will bail at intermission (if he has one) ...

When it became clear in teh 2nd quarter tonight the C's had no chance to win, and really did anyone think the NBA/ABC would allow them to win in 6 and give up a game 7 TV ratings monster? I looked at the clock at halftime, it was 10:15pm, the second half started at 10:35. Jimmy usually wraps up between 10:15-10:30 so if he keeps his usual take the stage at 8:15 start time the concert will end at halftime.

I bet he starts on time sharp and plays through without intermission.

It'd be pretty cool if GW would put the 2nd half on the big screens and let people stay. They won't though, cheap bastards.

And I suspect the pace of the show will be brisk....

No way. Allllmost makes you wonder if the teams give it their all except in game 7. "Yeah you guys get game 4, we'll take 5"... scary...

Great idea... Another idea, put a couple of video monitors (if possible) to the game during the intermission. Or even skip intermission so the show would end a little earlier.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Just depends how bad the Great Woods backup is on either 140 or 495. It's a crap shoot at that point...
True, but I've never had any issues taking 140 from I-95 down no matter what the time (hopefully I didn't jinx it). Most of the time when I did get the back up, it would be right at the bend just before 140 joins with 495 at the worst.

Well, it looks like there is going to be showers in the morning tomorrow. Just heard the weather and it looks like there may be some scattered showers tomorrow night but not bad.
