Do you think we're the only 2 on this board going to week 1? I'll have to add some songs to my request list!!!

Hey buckeroooooos
I will be there the first few days of week 1. when are the shows next weekend? Does he ever have special guests?

Our first Camp so don't know if he's solo or w/band. A special guest would be too fun. I do know shows are Mon, Thurs and Sat but could change due to weather. I read on this board that some folks have bought "tickets" at door but you get a "laminate" to wear to get in so I'm not sure about the last minute thing. However, Week 1 isn't sold out so would think you could buy a laminate there. Might want to call Tried and True to be sure. One more week!!!! See you at Wet Willies!!!

My first JJW field trip so ,I'm wondering about lodging close to Wet Willies for ease of life.
Any suggestions or am I so late as to grab 1st thing I can. Is there a camp ground there.
Whats the best way to get from Belize City to AC.
I may have an extra ticket for second week too.

Lots of good info on this board from many good people in the know. I'm certainly not in the know but I've learned alot here. Try a search on camping and your other questions and look at some of the replies to other threads about lodging. Check out the maps on the home page too to get an idea where some of the recommended places are. Have fun week 2!!!

I'm heading down for week one...first time down there. Does anyone have a good idea of how many people will be at the shows? I see above that somebody estimates around 200...Is that accurate? Wet Willies is the "social headquarters," is there another great place where everyone is meeting? I'm going to be there with a bunch of friends to see the shows and also to get married. Heck of a honeymoon! We're arriving on the 27th...where's the pre-party going to be?

Mango Man, Florida Gal, Leo56, Johhhhhn - We'll be at Wet Willies Sunday night for the "welcome" - we'll be the 3 middle aged couples plus bachelor friend nicked named "Hondo" with beers in our hands and great big smiles on our faces and we tawwk like theus. Ya'll be there Sunday night and we'll explore the other haunts after the welcome party and pick out our favorate bar stools for the week!!! Mango, congratulations! Don't drink all the beer before we get there!

Tarbaby...Sounds like a plan, count me in! When I was sick and my friend sold my concert ticket one night he "loaned" the laminate to them and then picked it up from them after the concert. I'm frantically getting ready for my trip so haven't been on the board as often as usual. Look forward to meeting all of you. (I'm bringing my iPod with 98 Jerry Jeff songs just in case 6 concerts aren't enough.) Head for the airport in 32 hours...guess I should pack...Yipee!

I must be out of it musicaly. I have never heard of Jerry Jeff. What type of music? Are there tapes or DVD's available to here him?

Not unusual that you don't know who he is. He wrote Mr. Bojangles but has written a whole lot of great music - story telling types of songs - and puts on a great show. Everything from rock and roll, to Texas two step, to ballads. Has a house in AC now and put out a cd about zeeislands. You can order his stuff at jerryjeff.com. Used to hang out a lot with a guy named Buffet. Get "Navajo Rug" or "Gypsy Songman" and welcome to the Gonzo experience!!
