Looks to be shaping up nicely.

Everybody looks good at the starting line. Get on your mark,get ready but you better keep this in mind. You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun but going the distance is the hard part son. Everybody looks good at the starting line.

I asked for the first two weeks of July off today, after I read the last posts in this thread. Chances are I'll get them, according to my superviser.

Then I'll have to decide whether I'll stay at the Marriott across the street or the River next to the main stage.

And why two weeks, may you ask ? I wanna be able to pay Music Millenium and Duff's Garage a visit while I'm there, of course !
Then I may end up spending a couple of days in Seattle, and have Blues Boss show me around.

How late is too late for decent reservations? Were talking about coming this year, but no decisions have been finalized yet.

Ain't no way in the world I'm goin' out that front door...

I tried to talk him into it, but it doesn't look like he would... so far.

I understand he has other priorities, like family for instance, plus me think next time he crosses the Atlantic, it might be Chicago or the Delta.
Of course, never having attended the Waterfront before, he has no idea what he'd be missing!

Are there any hotels near the venue that aren't a killer cost wise?

Some people stay across the Willamette River and bus it, but there's nothing like staying in the middle of the action. The Marriott that Rene' stayed at last time hosts the after hours jams and the Riverfront that Rene' mentioned is so close to backstage at the main stage you can sit on their porch and sip refreshments and not miss a thing! Of course you don't have to stay there to do that.

Ha! That was a test post I did while the forum was down. It just gave me an error when I did it...but apparently...
