I will.
I have the site next to him for fri/sat/sun. I am driving up from Philly, I see you are from silver Spring, Md. When will you be leaving for the fest? Maybe we can caravan up there. We could meet along I95. I have friday off so I am pretty free to leave anytime.

Cool Thanks! I am going to go ahead and cancel my room at the hotel! That makes me feel A LOT better about blowing money and missing work to come to the fest. I will be in CT on Friday but if you want I can meet you on 95 and we can caravan from there. I'll be near Bridgeport visiting Mom, and dropping off the dog. Matt

Guys,

I've noticed there's nothing on the Agenda for Saturday after 5:30. Do we want to organize anything at the campsite? There are so many of us staying the campsite, it seems like we should do something while we're all there.

Thoughts?

Scott,

Some of us are thinking/planning on heading over to Mendon to catch a drive-in movie. See this thread I think this would be lots of fun if a bunch of us show up and take up a row or two.

scott, there's no single event on saturday, but there will be a bunch of "fest-sponsored" trips to various boston sights. they haven't been announced yet largely because we're not sure exactly what places we'll be going to.

Currently, I am still solo in site Y5 and looking for a 2nd TDI to share spot....I have it Fri & Sat night w/ (an assumed) option for Sunday.

Activities?...how about beer, eats & frisbee golf for starters?

I also need to cancel my hotel.

~30 days till the Fest --- yee ha!

When I booked my site I was told that Alcoholic beverages were not permitted in the Campground
That may put a damper on the Beer drinking activities DOH!

if anyone is planning on camping but still has a hotel reservation, please cancel your reservation as soon as possible - we have a certain number of rooms available to us at the group rate and keeping that room until the last minute may effect a fellow forum member. thanks!

psshaw, rules is one thing, enforcement is another


...then again, it may hunt to break out the faux root beer labels

I am sticking with the hotel, if I can't drink beer at a campsite what's the point! Actually my other vacation plans fell through so I figured I'd spring for the hotel... and the beer thing too. Thanks again for the offer Leo819

one benefit of the hotel is that there will be nightly 'socials' in either the fest suite or the bar, or both.
there's also a great brewpub within a stone's throw of the hotel.

JettaJake, consider your site full, we'll be there friday afternoon. Can you make it in time to go to the Sam Adams brewery at 2? Then to the drag strip after that?

I really want to make it to the fest but am working on a college budget. Does anyone have room at their campsite for my Jetta and tent? I would be more than happy with chipping in towards the cost.

Dave, there are already 2 TDI's on my site (Y005) and each site is limited to no more than 2 cars IIUC but I think it's a real good bet that someone will be solo and willing to share their pad even if they aren't TDI'ers. You'd be welcome to park it there and stroll over to our place to make camp.

I normally only charge the price of a 6-pack for tent space but did u say you'll help chip my ride?

I should arrive at site around 2 or 3 friday afternoon. if the weather is good I may hit the beach for a couple hours and then probably supper at campsite. After maybe head over to the Hotel to meet the group.
