brown eyes dreaming

Anyone know why there is no shuttle service/ parking on Route 2? The past couple of SSFs there were at least 2 lots, but none this year - all shuttles are running from lots on Route 8. We're staying in Williamstown so there aren't any close options for parking - basically have to either drive to the lots at mass moca or past there to the lots on Route 8. Are there ride share options in North Adams?

I was at Portchester Night 2 and Brooklyn Night 1 and I totally agree with you. I love the Capitol Theatre! I thought the Portchester show was great and am surprised there haven't been more posts on this thread. At the Kings Theatre, I was seated toward the back of orchestra and felt kind of disconnected, not sure how else to describe it. And, sound was definitely not loud enough to drown out the talkers around me. Bosco - thanks for taping

The 2 train runs all night, but it is a slow ride into midtown for you to make the path connection. The 2 makes all local stops from midnight on - probably 40 min. ride. FYI - path was having signal problems this morning.

Good luck!

Portchester presale code is WILCOFAN

For those still looking for tix for 2/5, I was able to pull 2 tix after refreshing several times. Seats are not great - section 4 and section 10. But, even after i threw these back, I was able to pull more tix. Keep trying!

The Summerteeth IPA was only 5.5% - very tasty. I enjoyed quite a few. Looks like it was a small batch brew https://smuttynose.com/smuttlabs-summerteeth-a-wilco-inspired-pale-ale/

Bob Mould - Beauty & Ruin

From Wilcobase, July 4, 2001 - 12 years ago! Never thought I'd hear this song live - too bad crowd was so chatty

At the beginning the show, I said to my husband, "it would be great to hear some bt songs - maybe Kingpin or Red Eyed and Blue. And they never play Dreamer in my Dreams, so I doubt we'll hear that." Needless to say, I was completely floored by the encore! I might have been dreaming, but I thought California Stars was played again night #2? It's hard getting back to reality after such an amazing weekend! Can't wait for Camden and Brooklyn.

Thanks for the info.

Is there a 3 night minimum required? I had called a couple of the smaller hotels ( can't remember the names right now) and they told me there was a 3 night minimum stay. I have to leave by Sunday night, so I'm hoping that some hotels will not impose a minimum stay requirement. I couldn't get into the Holiday Inn last year - stayed there for the 1st Solid Sound and it was so convenient. Last year, we stayed at the Orchards. It was a bit pricey, but the shuttle stop was right across the street, so it worked out pretty well.

I called the Holiday Inn a couple of months ago to see if they were taking reservations for next June. The guy I spoke with said that although they were not taking reservations that far in advance, the hotel was already booked for Solid Sound. My guess is that they are blocking rooms for performers/artists at the festival.

My husband and I are flying in Friday morning. Our flight gets in at 9am, so we will be looking for things to do until check-in at the hotel. Any suggestions for a nice breakfast/lunch spot? We booked the hotel package deal and would be happy to meet up with some folks. Can't wait for Red Rocks!!!

Whole Love was just played during the last 5 minutes of NBC's Parenthood.
