Magnetized Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'm not sure where's the best place to post this, so I'm doing it here as well as in the Just a Fan forum. I've got my ticket for Hartford on 8/1 and I really want to do Mass MoCA on 7/31, but haven't got my ticket yet. I'm planning to fly into Providence on 7/30 and rent a car so that I can get to North Adams that evening and spend the next day enjoying the town before the show there on 7/31. Then I would leave the next morning for the drive back down to Hartford for the show on 8/1, and fly home from Providence on 8/2. I'm planning on doing all this alone and would LOVE to find someone to share expenses. Anybody interested? It would involve two hotel nights in North Adams or nearby, plus the cost of the rental car. I do have a friend I'd be staying with in Providence on 8/1. I'm really on the fence about making this expensive trip on my own if I can't find someone to share the expenses, so if any of you have any bright ideas I'd welcome them.

Sweet Melinda Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I PM'd you, Wilco Me. Admins, maybe add an additional sub-forum to How to Fight Loneliness for Sharing Rides & Hotels? If people aren't looking for tickets they might be missing these opportunities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linclink Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I PM'd you too...I was inspired & encouraged by Johnny Yuma (whose seen them a bunch) to take a solo jaunt this last year to Detroit to see them after a friend from Buffalo had to cancel. I think Johnny said he'd done a couple (two?) such trips on his own & had a great time. I loved my lone road trip, & it was an amazing show!! I highly encourage you to consider still going no matter what. I think you can find cheap enough lodging via lots of online options, but more about that later...I'm actually now going to both of these shows on my own as well, but...I'm staying with friends, & going to the show with friends in both places...be glad to meet up with you, just to meet up.I can suggest both priceline.com for super cheap hotel stuff & checking into youth hostels (http://hiusa.org/)...if I can help you out, I will....you can message me here...Also regarding Mass-MoCA...you can join as an individual member for $65 & then get a ticket before the auction for $113. Both the membership & ticket price, because it's a benefit, are tax deductible, so it takes a little of the sting out of it.I call Mass-MoCA at 413-664-4481 & go to the option (think it's #1) to get tickets, the box office folks can get you your membership & your ticket instantly. I just didn't want to take any chances with the auction & it's a great cause.The auction starts Friday April 13 at 10AM, but goes until Mon. April 16 at 10AM, so I'd be they aren't drawing winners until Monday, but I'd get a move on if you want to get a membership & get tickets for sure. I was also told that if you bid around the actual ticket price ($113), or slightly more ($120) that it betters your odds. They are taking a certain amount of very low priced bids, a certain amount of medium ones, but when those get filled it'll only be the higher bids....so low bids can win, but like I said I just didn't want to chance it. Good Luck!!http://www.massmoca.org/membership.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
