So don't go in until Jimmy. I skipped Huey last year.

Kind of looking forward to at least catch them at one place or the other.

Just fyi, there is a Comfort Inn near this venue, maybe five miles, with a 99 Pub in the lot.

Showing $185/night

I don't feel strongly one way or the other. It will depend on how my day is going.

FLY to Boston or Manchester NH I'll come get you!

I told him that, too. Pros: Airfare < $300, new venue. Cons: no Hooters in Bangor, but this could be offset by hitting the one on Rt1 South on the way back to the airport.

Really?????.... Someone mentioned to Larry about flying into Providence , I just mentioned Hartford could be a easier option....that's all...well aware you are talking about Bangor Nancy

I'm not flying into anywhere in the northeast so it's a moot point.

Fly to Montreal and drive down.

We are flying into Providence mostly because we grew up Rhode Island, hence my name RIPH.

And because we get free lodging there too. Mooch off the relatives.

That makes sense , but you would also know when and not to go through Providence.

Rush hour in Providence only lasts like 15 minutes.

I went to School in Providence , and actually sometimes would go to the Cape that way , 95 could get a bit backed up from Cranston to 195. I guess you could by pass it by using 275. it's all on Timing.

After extensive research, meaning I looked at the BN set list database this will be Jimmy's 3rd ever show in Maine and his first ever outside. The previous two shows were in 1985 and 1986 inside the Portland Civic Center.

The set list for the 1986 show was a whopping 33 songs. http://www.buffettnews.com/resources/setlists/?show=442
