Very familiar with N0 at the Gorge, but if PJ is at Wrigley on 7/1 then that's where we'll be

    so we're thinking alpine is the 2nd and 3rd because:

    A) holiday weekend
    and now
    B) PJ at wrigley on the 1st?

    Could care less about the attendance, but there's something about looking back from the Pavilion and seeing an entire wall of people. That was one of the most Raucous crowds I've ever been a part of. Just outstanding and it's obvious why they made it an LT

    I can't imagine you would compete with them the same night. Does Wrigley mean Soldier field is out or would they try to do 2 in the same weekend?

    Wrigley has already announced 3 acts for the summer so the numbers would say theres only 1 spot left. There have also been rumors of Phish playing there in June. But again, just rumors.

    Most importantly, don't expect a resort. It's basically a big motel with a pool, a decent bar/restaurant, and a perfect location.

    It is less than a 10 minute walk to the back entrance of the venue and you walk through the golf course. Perfect for bringing a roadie.

    Most people just hang out by the pool during the day and listen to music, drink, play bags, etc.

    The restaurant/bar gets packed after the show and is a good time.

    So ready for the tour to be announced! Excited for Alpine.

    Room is reserved at the good ol' East Troy Quality Inn and Suites. (formerly the East Troy Inn and Suites which is formerly the East Troy Country Inn and Suites) LOL! The hotel went through a whole renovation to get the Quality Inn & Suites contract so it should be nicer this year.

    I always laugh at stuff like this. You're not complaining but the people that make it known they need a 5 star hotel with maid service for the weekend are hilarious. Like listen sweetheart, odds are you're going to go way too hard and end up asleep with one shoe still on and hugging a toilet. As long as there's no cockroaches running across you while you sleep who cares!

    I'm not saying it is. I was simply stating that I've seen other people be outrageous like they weren't coming unless they had the best accommodations possibly and then saw those people passed out in their own vomit in the lots!

    LOL! I agree with you for the most part. I don't need a 5 star hotel. But I would like a place with a shower and a decent bed unless I'm at The Gorge and camping.

    This hotel is the place our crew stays at every year for Alpine. The hotel was just getting very, very run-down. It now has new owners and they make a mean curry.

    The rate we got was the usual $249 per night.

    I picked up a room at the Americinn. Never been there. Seems like a legit enough place. I figure any hotel within 30 miles of he venue is going to be all concert goers regardless.

    Regardless of where we are all staying we should put a plan together to meet up somewhere and all drive in together. How legit of a tailgate would it be if we owned an entire line of cars and didn't have to worry about shitty neighbors?!

    Thats how it was last year, not a big crowd at all. It was a great feeling waking up and already being there though.
