It has been a long time since the BJCC show! Glad to have Jimmy back in Birmingham!

I've never been to show of his at Oak Mountain. How's the parking lot? Time to start talking tailgate!

Phins Up All!

Only 46 more days!
I've never been to this venue or down in Birmingham for a show. Only time I've been to Birmingham was for volunteer work after the 2011 tornado outbreak.
I am also coming alone.
I'm looking for some Buffett News people to be in touch with and meet. I can bring a frozen concoction maker and booze. I can bring some snacks too. I won't have my own tailgate since I'll be alone.
Anyone have suggestions on hotels? I need a safe hotel. I don't want to go over $120 a night but if I have to for a safe hotel near the venue, I can.
I'll be there the night before, too, so if there's any pre concert parrothead parties, let me know!
You can message me on here or text me at 864 993 6342.

I'll be traveling up for the show solo as well. And with the PH club event ending at five the horrible no tailgating truth must be confirmed. Are we certain gates open at 4?

4 days!

I'm the Ticket Coordinator for this show. When talking to the venue in January at that time they told me gate would open at 4pm. Don't know how they are not going to let folks tailgate....just know from what I read on their site no Boat Drinks. Really crazy [smilie=cheeky-grin.gif]

I don't mind posting my number here because it's been posted numerous times here so hit me up at 864 993 6342.
You said you're flying solo.
We are staying at Value Place... 50 feet from the venue for $80 a night.
We've been tailgating in the hotel lot all night already.
But hit up my number and we will meet with you tomorrow. I'm Kasey by the way. I go solo to many shows but I've met so many great people through here over the years that I'm never solo anymore. So feel free to hang with us!
There's also a Best Western next door that's like 50 feet from the venue but don't know how expensive it is or if it's sold out. Value Place is an extended stay hotel and really nice. We have a kitchen. Nothing sketchy about the area either.
