This. I won't have my work schedule finalized for a while, but what I'd like to do is come in the morning of the concert and meet up with everyone. I realize that with the parking situation as it is, this will not likely work. So, trying to figure out when to get there/if I need to leave a car there, etc, earlier. The grass lots takes a lot of pressure off me in that I could just buy my voucher and meet up later with the group if they, in fact, keep their word and put us in groups. But the concrete has its merits, too. I'm just not sure I can get there...hm...

When are we lining up? Any ideas?

I'm torn now with where to go. What can I say? Indecision may or may not be my problem!

I posted that here, only because I saw that a couple of people mentioned that they had gotten their vouchers for the grass lot, and my hubby had gotten additional info I thought they or anyone else who was thinking about parking there could use. I did not post it on the FB page that has the 'official' tailgate info.

I am flying in with a backpack

This is sounding like a good plan!

I did that for the FFF in, um, 2008? Good times. (Actually, very tired times, but we still rocked out!)

Perhaps part of the problem is that there are simultaneous discussions going on here and on Facebook. Maybe we would should stick with just one thread?

Got some clarification on tax receipts, will update page 29. You will receive your receipt directly from Johnathon's Place after I submit the donations after the tailgate. Since I'm not going to have to mail anything back to you, I will probably have the donors' stickers printed and bring them to the tailgate. I'll have my phone, it will make you have to come say hi to get your sticker. Also thinking about trying to organize a group picture around midday Saturday, thought it might be phun to send it in with the donations.

Johnathan's Place Is In Our Hearts!

We have already received approximately $400 in pledges! If you have not joined in yet to support Johnathan's Place's work with abused children, please consider doing so.

See page 29 for all the details.

To borrow a phrase from a certain pink-haired Parrothead I know, "It Feels Good To Do Good!"

Every few days, the FB info is updated here also; that event information seems to be for those who do want to line up together to get in our old lot. I think it's just early, no plans have been finalized for lining up, etc. I'm sure that will come in time. Since this is not an organized event, some are opting to go to the grass lots, some aren't. We still have 73 days to work out all the details.

Love that as we forgot to do a group shot in 2011!

Got it. Thanks for the info. That's kind of what I thought. So, if we elect grass lots, buy now/sooner. If we elect to try for the usual spot, just wait and see. I can do that. Only question I have is if we line up on, like, Friday, I probably can't do that, so maybe I should go grass. I'll think on it and decide later. It's no biggie either way. I'm sure something will work itself out.

Indeed. I love the first group shot from... was it 2007? I think I somehow missed the one in 2008 and this is my first time back since, minus Hoot Island II. Can't wait!

This was a group shot from 2007!

92.5 in Dallas (Bo & Jim show) just had about a 7 minute interview with Jimmy
I'm sure it was pre-recorded, but it was really good.

Who is that who walked right in front? LOL

Where can I get those cups for this year? And how much?
That would be great on the Tiki Bar!

Wow, I was just in testing TM from work for Friday and I could still get a really decent ticket for this. What's up with that?

I can't GO of course but if I were going it's not a bad seat.

It isn't me and I'm pretty sure I was the only NYer there so we're not the only ones who are rude.

I'm not sure who ordered them but they were very cool! We still have them from each year we attended. Here they are from 2008.

Do we want to order cups for this year?

I would like to order some green cups please.
