I owe shotglasses to some people who paid - please make sure you remind me. Still have some leftover for this year, before they go on ETSY.
How about some pint glasses?

    I thought the Iron Man race forced the Woodlands venue to shift the DMB show to Sat last year due to traffic/registration congestion with the race when it was held on Friday in previous years. If that is indeed the case I would expect similar this year with Woodlands being on Sat May 14.

    Having the race and the show on the same day made it sooooo much worse last year. Not sure why anyone thought that would help anything.

    It took us an hour to get from the exit to the parking garage. It was beyond ridiculous. Usually we pop in in the afternoon, and it takes us like 10 minutes to go from the exit to the parking garage to Baker St.

    The traffic in the Woodlands was terrible last year since the race was finishing as we were getting there. I found Saturday much worse than Friday as well.

    We sure did. Last summer was so fun. Got to see some quality shows and it was fun to meet some more people from the boards.

    Thanks! Its going to take some adjustment for this weather... I'm in Norwalk, near Stamford. So relatively close to NYC and New Jersey. I'm hoping to do SPAC, Hartford, and Camden this summer. Maybe Mansfield or Jones Beach... I'll just have to see.

    One of my favorite things to do in Texas is seeing movies at theaters with beer and food. It blows my mind, we don't have that here.

    Civil War comes out May 6th, so that will probably be what we see Sunday before we head home.

    Please get away from the Ironman race.....the Woodlands is the best, but I will not go if its race weekend...

    also if the rumor is correct about New Orleans...then no Jazz Fest...and that's ok also...

I heard the new GM wants to get Zephyr Field on the map again for minor league baseball and I guess by having DMB and Mumford & Sons headlining sold out shows there, they can get the word out.

    We're planning on cutting down to 4 shows this year - usual 2 in TX then a two nighter somewhere else, so that rules that out for me, probably.

    Lately, one nighter random midweek Midwest shows haven't been that fabulous anyway.

    Dang NOLA would be awesome. Unfortunately 13+ hour dive from Amarillo. What ever happened to that D+T rumor for Texas? Guess that isn't gonna happen?

    Did Alpine for the first time last year, it was worth it. If Charlottesville doesn't happen this year, we'll be headed to Alpine again.

    yeah, if i'm still up here It'll probably look similar to last year. if i'm back in Texas then, well, who knows.

    Jokes aside, what hotels have you stayed in for SPAC? I need to start looking at that.

    I don't really travel JUST for DMB anymore. That's why I pick places like West Palm, San Francisco, Denver, New York, etc... for trips, so there's some other reason to go there and something else to do/see while I'm there.


    Gorge is the exception though, cuz it's Gorge.

    then come back to gorge. do it.

    as for SPAC, i've stayed in my car, grand union, and an airbnb. SPAC is kind of a take what you can get, or pay the price. if you're willing to drive 15-20 minutes after the show, theres a LOT cheaper hotels north of saratoga.

    It would be nice if the tour didn't start in TX again but I guess it's better than melting or waiting until September. Maybe I can swing more than Dallas this year.
