June 26 7:30pm at Pine Know (aka DTE Energy Music Center) in Clarkston MI.

Max and I are gonna pick up a couple lawn tickets. Anyone else interested?”

“No thanks!”

“Yep! Looks like the day's free...I'll have to ask the B-man when he gets home.”

“yesyesyes!”

“yesyesyes!”

“I will check to see if we will be in town. If so, I'll go. Come on, SG!! Everybody else is doing it....”

“I wonder if Mr Buddur would like this one? Lots of pickin'.”

“In. Hey, did you know that since the knob converted into DTE there's no longer a "per vehicle" parking charge? Now there's a $5 charge PER TICKET!!!!! What a scam.”

“So that's how they get away with the "free parking" stuff!

I paid $10 for parking at The Palace the other night. What a rip off! At least I had a free ticket!

I'm not a bluegrass fan, Laqtis, so that's why I won't be joining you.”

“I'm too far away to go. :(”

“I'm willing to bet that Buddur will be going to the Blossom Amp. (where we hiked) cause the tour is headed there on 7/7. I had actually thought about going there to see it so we could hang w/ him, but it's a Sunday night... 3 hours is a long drive after a concert!”

“Does anyone need me to order tickets for them? Or, are you all going to do that on your own since we're just sitting on the lawn? Just let me know. I'll be placing the order online this weekend, I think.”

“I'd love to attend, but I'm moving to PA w/in a few weeks. Unfortunately, I most likely won't make the Blossom show either 8(”

“I'll take care of my ticket if we go. Thanks for the offer.



Old Pine Knob was cool back inthe day when you could bring in coolers and stuff to eat! I'd go around and collect cans all night when I was real young. Made good money!”

“Get us a coupla tickets please.”

“ok sass, will do.

buddur - you're moving? what part of pa? ya gonna invite us over for some hiking by your new place?”

“Buddur, you're leavin?!? Fiddlesticks. Ifin' ya need some help, call me.

I may be up for the Down from the Mountain concert. I can't get enough of that music, and you guys as well.”

“we'd love to have you, buddha. i'd offer you a place to stay... but i have two cats and a dog.”

“I'd offer you a place to stay as well but I have two dogs and a Birch and a baby. =)”

“of course, if you can tolerate the pet alergy, you'd be welcome.”

“Sass/Birch - all set. 4 tickets were purchased for general admission lawn.

laqtis/le subtil/buddha... any of you decide yet? I think it would be great fun if ya'll came!”

“Not yet. We're in the mits of planning our summer out. Should have a better idea of what's up some time this week. So much to do and so little time.....”

“KEWL! Thanky...what was our total maam?”

“i'll email you the details. did you know that ticketmaster will now email the tickets to you? so, i already have them. just have to print 'em and we're all set.”

“oh, and p.s., the per perosn "parking" fee is $3. i don't know if that is the case everytime or just for this concert.

can anyone tell me what a "convenience charge" is?? it was $7.60 per ticket.”

“Its the same as that $7 fee for handling one piece of paper for the shuttle. Its the costs to rent an office, turn on the lights, pay for employees health benefits, etc. You know, overhead. Amazing overhead costs that much, huh?”

“I'm in!!! I just scored a pair of lawn tickets.

I love concerts at Pine Knob! I've heard it was a favorite of performers as well.”

“What an awesome show. It was perfect weather for an outdoor concert. All the musicians seemed to be enjoying themselfs. I could have listened for another 3 hours, but I'm glad I didn't. As it was I got home at 1 AM.
How about those $7 beers?

Thanks for the heads up, Tara!”

“We got home about 20 minutes before you did LeSubtil.

The concert was fantastic! Ralph Stanley was just incredible. He was my favorite part of the show. The talent on that stage at the end of the show was astounding.

We had an awesome time.”
