       Ventures In Concert

       Hey gang this is a FOUR DAY event of grand proportion.   I went
       last year & hears the breakdown:
       BEST to buy a YEARLY FUN PASS to Busch Gardens-that'll save you
       big dollars over the daily or even two day rates.
       The Ventures will perform THREE shows daily & depending on the
       day, the times will either be 11:00, 1:00 & 3:30 PM or 11:30,
       1:30 & 3:30.   The shows are approximately 45 minutes in length.
       To coincide with this four day stopover, Fiona Taylor the
       group's business manager sets up on the final day (Sat.) a MEET
       & GREET for the fans at The Ventures motel which last year was
       the HYATT PARK PLACE right near the park.  Last year that ran
       from 7 PM to 10:30 PM.   Plenty of merchandise to be had along
       with an hour Q&A with band members.
       Have noticed round trip vacation packages inc. rental car have
       gone down some since the holidays.   I'm still hedging as to
       whether to attend for a second year.   And remember there's
       plenty of time over the four days to take in enough of the park
       between all the shows.  If you've got the bucks this is a NO
       BRAINER!   Just located a four day PRICELINE VACATION PACKAGE
       (no rental car) for $413- simply roundtrip airfare & motel with
       shuttle to & from the park!   That price might even include
       breakfast every day.

       Well TABALT11 has decided to 'take the plunge' again this year,
       leaving next Wed. morning at 7:55 AM.   As Walt suggests- I'll
       TRY TO capture a few
       shows on video.  Security last year was rather lax the first few
       days but was stepped up later in the week.   At the VERY LEAST
       I'll definetly capture
       the Sat. eve. MEET & GREET at the motel.   The trip affords me
       plenty of time to DISCUSS & FIRM UP certain ideas for this
       year's fan fest in Oct.   Of
       course I'm hoping the band gets a bit adventurous in song
       selections spread over the four days & guranteed twelve shows.
       Just curious- do we
       have any other members planning to attend?
