Saturday only???  Come on Trish, you know you want to see that Conor Oberst set on Sunday.  I heard he is going to have a special guest flute player sitting in with him.   ;D

T.F. Green Airport in Rhode Island is about a half hour's drive away.

definitely go for the two days.   You are saving money by seeing so much great music at once!

Oh crap..I went for the one day.  It didn't look like a huge savings to buy the two day, and I want to see how Chrissy does :) As a consolation prize, I am going to try to see Gary Clark in NJ in June. 
PS - Bob has no idea we are going to this lol.  I am the impulsive concert ticket purchaser in the family.   

Trish- Chrissy will LOVE it.  Newport is the most kid and family festival.  Beth and I have been there numerous times.  Call or text me for details.   She would be SO in her element.

She is excited, and it will be so awesome for her to be able to hang with the other Jacket Kids :)

This is excellent.  Keep 'em coming.  NFF '10 was special.  My daughters are stoked, especially Katherine, who has been jealous of her sister and cousin for 1 1/2 years, thanks to this constant reminder.


^{Christ!  He's showing that picture again.}

Can't think of a better venue for a kid's first MMJ concert, too.

[Dillsnufus]

 I would love to go  fresh from turning 21 but I don't know if i can afford the tickets.

We may have to sleep in the car  ;D  but we'll be there both days!!

Alright, Ben and Carol.  Expecting Mr & Mrs GO4IT too for a reunion!

Yeah, I'll have to get in touch with him to see if they will be going.  Should be a lot of fun.

You know me and ms will be there.  Just bought our tix and psyched to see NN, Carol, JohnnYYac and others on the forum signing up.  We had a fantastic time in 2010 seeing Jim play 4 times and meeting JYac for the first time!  Only bummer was the beer set up - lines, remote location and you had to drink it all a quarter mile away from the music.  The wife smuggled in some wine, uh I mean grape juice, on day 2.

It's gonna be another great July to build on the good times last year N of the border.

BTW, I spent over an hour last night trying to find reasonable accommodations but struck out.  Last time I found a good deal in Middletown just N of Newport.  Any suggestions??
