JCraft Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Al over on the 'berries site got me straight. The pre orders get the entire concert--PLUS---on DVD. Ryko will market the two different options to the general public. I'm so glad I ordered back in December or January--or whenever that was.JIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulie Mississippi Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Let's not forget those of us who are finally back home in the northern Utah/Southern Idaho area. I we can certainly come up with some place suitable between Salt Lake City, Ogden, Boise, Twin Falls & Poccatello (by the way, bring the kids; we're a "stones throw" from Yellowstone... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I don't care where,once my bags are packed and I'm at the airport, one flight is the same as next.I just want to see the performance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspyrock Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Paulie: How did you get so far away from Miss.?? Speaking of Miss. --- Tour rolling thru either Biloxi or Tunica ( near Memphis ) could work. I could share some blackjack tips/advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 "Ocean City is where Baltimore, DC, and Phillyparties during the summer!"At this point, it seems like it's mostly kids there, though. I used to go to OC every summer like clockwork, until my late 20s. Of the MD/Delaware beaches, OC seems best for high schoolers, Dewey Beach for college age, Rehoboth for adults (and an ever-increasing # of gays), Bethany for older adults with kids (about 20 churches there, but no bars!), and Lewes/Delaware Bay beaches for old goats. Of course, if one owns houses or property at any of these beaches, forget the generalizing above. (My best friend used to have a beach house in Bethany, but sold it and moved to Lewes....I'm just grateful she has it, and puts up with me!)BTW, yes, OC definitely has the best Convention Center....although the Bottle & Cork in Dewey is a very cool little venue for shows.

Raspyrock Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Often I stay just across the line in Del. at a friend's place, but somtimes I like to stay down near the inlet or on the boards for old times sake. Gone there about 40 years straight now.Years ago the Electric Circus was a good venue as well as The Back of Rack --- Wine Rack is still there but condos now behind it!! Have to get to Bottle & Cork someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I always get down to the OC boardwalk at least a couple of times every summer, even when staying at Bethany (actually Ocean View) or Lewes (actually Milton, DE).My all-time favorite at the OC end of the Boardwalk amusement park was that incredibly nasty, abusive Bozo The Clown (or whatever his name was) they had in the dunk tank back in the late 70's...the one with the grating laugh that was like a nail on a chalkboard! He'd insult everyone throwing at the target, to the point that some people got so mad they'd throw at him (but he was in a cage).... He disappeared around '81 or '82, and I always wondered if some of the equally nasty types he used to abuse hung around after closing one night, and drowned him in his tank (or ran him over)......

Raspyrock Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I remember, what about the tiny Elvis dude .. singing or playing Elvis tunes for money!! Until the new building project on Dorchester, I mostly stayed at the Belmont behind the Dutch Bar. Nice to leave the car parked and go bar hopping at night.

aggiesjc Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 John O, you're killing me - I've always found clowns dreadful.BTW, the Warner (near the M&S) sounds like a great venue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnO Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Yep, I remember "Elvis", always with a dirty pastel (green or orange) leisure suit and greased-back hair, carrying a small boom box blasting "It's Now Or Never", or other Elvis tunes. I believe he passed away in the late 80's or early 90's....One funny thing - I remember seeing Elvis' photos (with the boom box against his ear) at one of the photo booths in a Boardwalk arcade (the 5 photos for $1 booths)....they were using his photos as samples, pasted or taped to the side of the booth.I used to stay at the George Washington (10th Street & Boardwalk, if I recall), the Surf & Sands (around 24th Street), and a motel on Philadelphia Avenue, close to the original Phillips Crab House.

Raspyrock Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Good gimmick fo the photo booths!Few years ago I spent one night at the Lankford on 8th street --- great view.Talk of Phillips Crab House making me hungry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor4Life Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I'm still disappointed that those of us that couldn't afford or get the special package won't be able to see the whole show on DVD. My tastes have changed since I've gotten a DVD player a few years ago, and now only buy live DVD's as opposed to CD's. I'm just hoping that somewhere down the line the DVD will be sold seperatly...Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubbiefanMike Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I missed out on the Special Package as well although it wasnt a money issue... you snooze and you lose... does Rip Van Winkle get another chance? Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
