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?
