kidsmoke Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 But that week is also a joyful one, as it is the week we begin planning to attend the next Solid Sound! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobDylan'sBeard Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 But that week is also a joyful one, as it is the week we begin planning to attend the next Solid Sound! In two years : ( I'm wildly optimistic that there may be an announcement at Solid Sound that could tide us over, Wilco wise, for the time being. AKA a new album, but this is only based off of an interview Jeff gave to the LA Times a few months ago saying there were like 36 songs ready for a new album. Well, that and the fact that they announced the Whole Love at SS 2011 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Papillon Parade Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm buzzin'...this is our 3rd SS and couldn't be more excited! It's such a fantastic mix of old and young and new and old...highlight of my summer Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiatortunes Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks for posting this year's maps. I seem to recall that the first shuttle stop on the purple line was always a lot further west along Route 2, close to the Cumberland Farms, i.e. next to the Willows Motel and across the street from the Maple Terrace Motel. Am I reading this year's map correctly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heart full of holes Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks for posting this year's maps. I seem to recall that the first shuttle stop on the purple line was always a lot further west along Route 2, close to the Cumberland Farms, i.e. next to the Willows Motel and across the street from the Maple Terrace Motel. Am I reading this year's map correctly? Yes, there was a paved lot in front of an office building near Cumberland Farms. Not this year though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mariana neri Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 I thought the shuttle have a stop in Williamstown Looking at the map is far from where I'll stay :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobDylan'sBeard Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I thought the shuttle have a stop in WilliamstownLooking at the map is far from where I'll stay :/ Williamstown is pretty close to North Adams, though. I have a friend who goes to school there, and last summer we saw Beck at Mass Moca (it will be almost exactly a year in between that show and SS) - we didn't stay in Williamstown (and may or may not next week) but we were there before the show and it's only a few minutes apart.

tinnitus photography Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 yeah it's about 8 miles away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smells like flowers Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The weekend forecast I looked at this morning for North Adams was calling for cool temps and rain Friday and Sunday. Let's everyone collectively hope for sunshine and clear skies! (Or at least no downpours....) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let's everyone collectively hope for sunshine and clear skies! (Or at least no downpours....)Yes, chance of rain in the forecast Friday and Sunday, but miniscule amounts. Friday just 0.04 inch. and Sunday just 0.2. At least I think those are miniscule amounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bill39me Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Speaking from experience (living in Maine) New England weather tends to be very fickle / unpredictable this time of year... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 So, what's a good time to show up on Friday? Music starts at 6 with Mikael. How much "browsing time" would you all recommend for first-timers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Speaking from experience (living in Maine) New England weather tends to be very fickle / unpredictable this time of year...Yes, it's only Monday. NE weather forecasters have no idea what's going to happen on Friday-Sunday. That won't stop me from obsessively checking the forecasts though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Vince, I've been to all 3 of the previous Solid Sounds and I still haven't had enough browsing time. Allow plenty! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Also, I have a request....I know it's late but my boy hasn't been sure of his plans until now! My son Brennan & his new bride Mariela will be needing a ride from North Adams to Boston (airport) on Monday, June 29th. If anyone on here might be able to help them out, I'd be eternally grateful! Let me know if you might have room.His flight back to CA from Boston leaves at about 2 p.m. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! He'd be happy to pay you something for the assistance, and he & Mariela are lovely traveling companions. Otherwise he's going to have to live in North Adams from now on and I'd probably only see him every other summer. Please, help a mother out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 So, what's a good time to show up on Friday? Music starts at 6 with Mikael. How much "browsing time" would you all recommend for first-timers?I would say get there as early as you possibly can on Friday. There is so much to see in the museum and the galleries and once the festival gets rolling you'll be hard pressed to find any time to explore it. I would take advantage of the beautiful facility itself, as well as the food and drink. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 So how early is early? The PR article today said gates open at 430. Is that correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 So how early is early? The PR article today said gates open at 430. Is that correct?The museum is open for business on Friday.there might be an admission charge. I don't remember for sure because last time I was a member of the museum so it was free Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I know that 4 years ago you could get into the museum with your SS ticket as early as you wanted to on Friday. I don't remember if that was the case 2 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopQuizKat Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Just finished my work for the week. HOLY CRAP I'm leaving for Solid Sound in less than 10 hrs! I barely know any of you but I can't wait to see your beautiful unknown faces!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Settled in Pittsfield after a most enjoyable, traffic free, blue sky- kissed 5 1/2 hour drive with my daughter. We have a lovely old Victorian rental in the heart of town. Took turns on the music..... I can't get "Uptown Funk" or "Bad Blood' out of my head (i'm talking to you, parents of teenage girls). I'm thinking she's not having the same issue with St. Vincent, Courtney Barnett, or a wonderful 10.30.90 Wembley Dead show.. Or maybe not. For now, a small price to pay. Safe travels, everybody!
