Bosco Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm hoping he's wrong, but I just talked the owner of a couple motels around North Adams and he tells me they were told that there would be no SS next year but there would be the two following years and that they will be on the Fourth of July weekend. He didn't sound too thrilled about that, I think Tanglewood usually does a pretty big show that weekend so rooms are probably already pretty scarce. I really hope he's wrong.

-seven Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I don't mind waiting a year but I hope the 4th of July weekend info is wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rhino4evr Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I wasn't expecting one next year..i thought I read that SS would be an "every other year" event from now on. As for July 4th weekend...good thing is that I wouldnt need to take as much time off work, bad thing is that travel and lodging expenses will most likely double.

tinnitus photography Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 count me against having it on the 4th... too many other plans coincide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Having it on the 4th would suck for me. Probably wouldn't be able to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Having it on the 4th would suck for me. Probably wouldn't be able to go.Me too. Family commitments plus the increased cost would make it hard to justify going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 maybe we could petition that awfully capable guv'ment of ours to move the holiday just this once to accommodate us. they all seem to be an agreeable lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 bad thing is that travel and lodging expenses will most likely double. So the shitty little motels would be charging $400/night instead of a measly $199/night like the last Solid Sound? That would pretty much be a deal breaker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The 4th would suck for me too. I always have to work on big holiday weekends. But I would just have to announce my intentions way in advance and find someone to cover for me--nothing's gonna keep me away from Solid Sound. As to the hotels increasing their prices, I think they're about as high as they ever get during SS. I wouldn't think the innkeepers would be crazy about this idea, though. One less blockbuster weekend for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
