Premier Parking allows you to park at the front of the Blue Lot. The Premier Parking area is just like any other lot in terms of allowing tailgating, music, etc. You are very close to Gates 1,2, and 3 and also have an easy way to exit after the show is over, by going down Pond Rd (the road that winds through the wooded area toward the Green parking lot). This cuts down on the normal waiting time to exit at the end of the show. Enter at the main theatre entrance (the one with the sign) and the parking staff will direct you right up front. Remember though that if you want to enter prior to 3pm, you still would have to pay that early entry fee, even with Premier Parking. I posted an overhead map of the facility that may help everyone as well. Check it out at www.alpinestaff.com/forms/AVMTMap2013.pdf.
Thanks and see you tomorrow!

Thanks, Ken! Sure wish you were here! We had a great time last night and I'm so glad we could be at the last bash ever. Dissappointed I didn't see any BN'ers (Garry, JoAnn, Randy, others...???)Dr.Corona wrote:Enjoy your day Alpiners! Hope you enjoy the Jackson Browne show!
That was the most expensive night out I've had in ages, but all for a great cause! Thanks again Bruce for all those you've helped over the years!
It's a glorious day here in Cheeseland!

According to Weather Channel, 30% chance of rain tonight....but at least it doesn't look like it will be as cold as it was for the 2009 show — when Jimmy came out after intermission wearing a hoodie!
Have a good time; wish I was gonna be there. Maybe next year!!

Re: Who's going to Alpine Valley - Aug 24, 2013
What's this about "last bash ever"? Which bash — the one in Elkhorn at the Two Seasons or the one in Lake Geneva at Hemingways? Or did Jimmy say something about going someplace else and not coming back to Alpine?CheeseHead in Paradise! wrote:Thanks, Ken! Sure wish you were here!

— edited to add: OK, I went to the Two Seasons site and I see now what's going on. That sucks. Now I'm *really* sorry I couldn't make it this year!!
