Just over a month to go and I haven't even started preparing my liver yet! I feel like I am running behind. I feel some intensive training coming on....Jello shots check, Landshark check, oh yeah some food in there too.

They have two pickup locations in Milwaukee I think, one at the lake and one in West Allis
I have not booked it yet, my wife is my DD and she really doesn't drink so the value isn't that great for me!
Where are you staying in Milwaukee?
I am actually not completely sure yet. We are staying just north of downtown on Thursday and Friday and possibly Saturday as well. If we do not stay near downtown on Saturday, we could also stay in Waukesha. We might end up staying in Waukesha on Saturday, just because it is closer. But if someone else is driving, I guess that does not really matter.
Thanks for the advice on Volcano Express, I had briefly looked at them a few months ago, but I will take another look.

Hope you guys are going to try to make the Hemingways bash in Lake Geneva Friday night! NC is not represented yet:-)!
If you decide to hang out that way, I think there are 2 buses that still have room picking up at Hemingways on Saturday.
39 and counting

I'd love to, and it is a possibility, but I am not sure yet.

I've learned to live by the old proverb, "Plan for the worst, but hope for the best" ...especially when it comes to weather in Wisconsin!

Parrotheads,
For the past several Jimmy Buffett shows at Alpine Valley I have had the fortunate privilege of securing the only private beer deck at the base of the lawn just to the left side of the sound board. This is simply put the only way in my opinion to see the show. I have done my years in the lawn and in reserved seats and while these are fun as well, the Deck is by far the best experience.
This year my normal group is short another 2 members. I have 2 tickets available on this deck that I am wanting to part with at face value. The face price per ticket is $180 and that includes a secured deck that holds 35 people (which still leaves plenty of room to mingle), private cash bar serving beer, easy access on and off the deck exiting into the reserved seating walkway and a truly great view and sound.
We have a great group of seasoned parrotheads that join us for this event every year.
Please PM me if you are interested or would like more details, pictures of deck or etc......

wow people!!!! You have been active
I must have stopped getting the emails for some reason..
We have been soooo damn busy! If we do not work ourselves to death before June 24th, we will be there with bells on
Our total group for Friday night at Hemingways is about 20 people.
I was going to set up a booth at Hemingway's Friday night and sell my parrothead candles, with donations to charity...but time is KILLING me right now! I will not be able to have extra inventory on hand -- but, I will take any preorders for the next few days yet. Check out my website, and if interested, submit the form and you can pick up your candles at the preparty on Friday.. For everyone who has ordered already, thank you very much!!! Appreciate the support... check them out!
http://www.SoyLiciousFundraisers.com I am still doing direct ship also if you will not be at the event.
Steve, I will get in touch with you in the next few days to finalize "things"

I can't wait to see you again too my friend!!! it is always a kick-a$$ time!!!
a first-aid kit is always a good idea when I'm around
I am pleased to report my injuries from the
St.Louis show have healed nicely....
I will try not to climb over any guardrails after I have been drinking and doing jello shots all day again, that's for sure.
