Bottleneck lineup looks awesome!!! Is anyone and everyone invited to the Bottleneck (18 to entoer or 21 to enter)? With that lineup it will be packed to compacity no doubt!!

I love the idea of 2 nights of Schwag, call me crazy but I love hearing GD music even if Jerry and the boys arn't up there playing it. Thursday will rock (and be less crouded) :)

[travelphan]

It sucks that I can't make to Lawrence on Tues or Wed for the pre-party. I hate having to be responsible and work :x

[Metalhead]

Dude, I'm right there with ya. I adore the Schwag

TeamB----is there gonna be any kind of shuttle service from Waka to the Bottleneck and back on Wednesday? I've got a VIP ticket and am planning on getting to the festival site on Wednesday afternoon, and I'd really like to go to the Bottleneck, but don't want to lose my parking spot. Plus, it'd be nice to be able to drink at the show and not have to drive.

[TeamB]

We're working out all the details right now and we'll let you know as soon as everything is finalized. :)

[richiebob]

so awesome i wish i could but i have to w***

[lifeseeker]

Do you know about what time Big Metal Rooster will be playing in the Rival Tent on Thursday?

[Raw Shok Test]

Holy schnikes! This thing just keeps getting better and better! I was just on the Waka website to see if they've set up the times and stages of the performances, and saw that the pre-Waka party has now spread to Liberty Hall, too! They haven't announced who'll play there yet, but it said that three bands will play at each venue, each night.


TeamB----what's the word on a bus for Wednesday?

[travelphan]

I am so disappointed I cannot get off work until that Wednesday evening and I am 3 1/2 hrs from Lawrence, so I cannot make it to the pre-festivities and I love liberty hall :cry:

[kinderkitti]

This is way cool. Gonna get to experience Lawrence for the first time. Any suggestions on good places to eat and cool stores in Lawrence?

[aesop435]

Get a slice at Rudy's, have a beer at Harbor Lights.

Avoid Pizza ****tle

[kinderkitti]

wtf is pizza ****tle?

[Jackstraw]

Pizza Shuttle, they deliver til 3am and tastes soo good at 2:30am when they deliver to ya with 3 ranches... but trust me not that good!!!

Jeffersons is good, and Vermont BBQ, for a sub Yellow Sub or Mass Street Deli

[Raw Shok Test]

Quinton's makes a pretty good sandwich (across the street from Liberty Hall), and you should definetly get a beer or two at Free State Brewery (next door to Liberty).

[SaraJuana]

Where is liberty hall? Adress maybe for mapquest? I noticed today they added liberty hall as an early venue, but I dont know where it is. Is it close to the bottleneck. I am staying Tues/Weds at the Quality Inn which is about 4 miles from the bottleneck. Any help would be appreciated!

[kinderkitti]

Liberty Hall is at 737 New Hampshire and the Bottleneck is at 644 Massachusetts-2 blocks apart.

[SaraJuana]

Great! Walking distance from each other!

[TeamB]

The Liberty Hall shows have been added:

Tuesday at Liberty Hall:
Moonshine Still
Kirk Rundstrom Band

Also, initially the Pre-Parties are 21 and over shows and available only to three day pass holders. 18 and over patrons will be allowed to enter the clubs if capacity allows. Capacity is limited and admittance will be on a first come, first served basis. Your three day pass does not guarantee admittance to the shows.

:D :D :D :D COOL :D :D :D :D

[Metalhead]

Free State Brewery for food AND beer.. dammit if only the still had Maibock.

:(

[dynamohum]

where's everyone staying tuesday night? My boyfriend and I are coming from Detroit and don't know where to stay.

[SaraJuana]

We are staying at the Quality Inn, its about 4 miles from the Bottleneck. It is the location on 6th street I believe. I would recomment to make reservations. I used to work in the hotel industry and see a lot of p*&%-ed of people come in to my hotel and get upset when we ran out of rooms, like it was my fault that they did not check there was a convention going on or concert at the same exit as our hotel! OK, let me climb down off my soapbox and say, if anyone stays at the Quality Inn, look for the room that has the Party Central sign. That will be our room!

[kinderkitti]

Thanks, g. That's what i get for trusting my brain to remember all that from mapquest.
