If anybody is interested in buying a giant foam cheeseburger (I can provide a picture), let me know because i have 2 and really only need (and there's only room for) one for tailgating. We have brought the burger for years (you may have seen it atop a vehicle @ Alpine or in Chicago) and get plenty of comments and inquiries about its origins and would love to run into another rooftop cheeseburger while tailgating in the future .

Two Seasons Bowl in Elkhorn, WI starting on Thursday before the concert. You have to call the bowling alley to make tour reservation. I have their phone # somewhere and will dig it out and post it if Jimmy's "people" ever pull their heads out of their a$$es and announce a date.
But you should know that Two Seasons Bowl doesn't have RV hookups. It's just a big open lot. Used to be a driving range, but I don't think he uses it for that any more.

No, Bruce doesn't use that lot as a driving range anymore. And I was unaware there were no RV hookups. Sorry.

Two Seasons is just a huge open field behind the bowling alley.

I can confirm it's a heck of a time and Bruce always has great live music by the outdoor sand volleyball courts.

I can also confirm it's very easy to have so much fun, you don't really remember anything.

It's no problem. Lots of people bring their RVs and just run them off the battery or use a generator. I just didn't want someone showing up expecting electric and water hookups. Fill you water tank before you get there and you'll be fine.

And you're right ... Bruce throws a heck of a pre-concert party, and does a great job with the buses to Alpine.

I can't quite remember what I don't remember, but having so much fun sounds like fun.

I remember some hippie chick giving me what I believe was spiked tequila. Everything after that is quite fuzzy.

I have never been to the other party at Hemmingway's.

Hard for me not to do Two Season's. It's a great time.

Is Alpine the land of misfit parrot heads? I guess you are going to have to wait until next year. Santa forgot about you.

A ticket broker friend hasn't heard anything about this show being scheduled.

Surely since A.V. is an annual stop on the tour for Jimmy if he isn't planning on including it this year then he should announce that fact to his many loyal upper midwest supporters?! Which, I'm sure he would do if this was the case...hence be patient...the date will come soon enough.

why don't we all just start planning a trip to Alpine on the 24th of Aug. As the support grows then may be we will force there hand and he will have to come. This I say in jest cause the date should be announced soon. May be the slower release date are to help each announced venue to sell out. Alpine use to sell out in minutes but were readily available for purchase right up to the show.

Possibly slow on announcement since chicago date hasn't sold out yet. That venue will s***. I know s lot of chicagoans waiting for Alpine vs the Chicago date. While AV is a typical stop...jimmy has missed it brfore. Still waiting...

I have it on good authority that this concert is not going to happen . . . . unless it does.
