Once upon a time, a Kid Rock show in Detroit was something all my people wanted to go to. It was the cool thing to do, the cool place to be, a good time for all. Now my mom wants to go, my aunt calls for tickets, and my teachers from High School frequent the shows. Once upon a time, he was a devil without a cause, now he is all religous during his shows, making me feel as if he is a zealot without a cause. The lyrics and content used to be on the edge, its what made him who he is, now its pathetic and same ole same ole. Why do I hold on?
We decided last night to get tickets and will be there. We are driving in for the show and then home. Gonna be a long day! Very excited. This will be our 4th show in 2011.
Anybody know if Sheryl Crow is opening? There's been no mention here.
Thanks so much, Alpine!!
Gang, would you rather try to do Bubba's or meet inside grandstand area in front of GS box office--then get a libation there? I'm up for either or both :)
KRCVal......Im from the Allegan area. The best place to meet in Plainwell would be Rhino's in downtown Plainwell. Its only about a mile from the Comfort Inn. The best bar in Allegan would be Bubba's. Bubba's is about a mile from the fair grounds. To get to the fairgrounds from the main highway (US131) it will take about 25 minutes on a normal day, so with fair traffic, I would guess about 40 minutes. The route is through residential areas so it might take some time, but traffic usually moves pretty well. I would add an extra 20 minutes of wait time in traffic to be safe. You shouldn't have any trouble meeting up inside at the grandstand. You could meet in front of the grand stand box office. It is right by the entrance to the venue. Hope this helps.
i'm so pumped about this show! my first one in michigan! My girl and i are coming up from IL. and camping after the show since the hotels are so far away. i heard his beer will be there on tap too! yummy!
Imma hoping to hear from some of the local peeps to see if we should meet somewhere in Allegan at a watering hole, or just head for the fairgrounds and try to meet up at the grandstand areas. Not sure how bad the traffic getting into the show will be....anyone with info, let us know :) :)
Have a blast everyone!
Just Because: I won't answer that-ha ha ha ha ha ha
KRCVal: As it stands now we won't be going but if anything changes I will let you know. It should be a fun atmosphere being at the fair and there's nothing like a roadtrip. Curious too if he plays a full set or if it's shortened.
I have to work till 8:30 on Saturday morning so I'm going to sleep for a few hours then me, my husband and another couple are headin west. We should be there around 4pm. The closest hotel I could find was a comfort inn in Kalamazoo. The one in plainwell was booked. Sounds like it's gonna be a good time!
@ Cheryl, you got that right! And don't forget Sept. 23rd in Clarkston!
Let's try to do it then. When more ppl who live around Allegan post, maybe they can direct us to a local hotspot :) We can post a between such-and-such time, etc. I should be able to get into town around 3:00 or so.. so I can help to save tables, etc. We're staying in Plainwell at the Comfort Inn 11 miles away..
I haven't been to the Allegan Fair b4 so don't know how diffficult it would be to find ppl inside.
My tickets say 7 pm, so don't know if there is an opener, etc? Hope he plays a full show..
Wish I was going Val. Missed you in Detroit. But after all we can look forward to April. Bloody Mary Morning on the 26th.
We're goin'! West track row X. I would love to meet up with you guys!
I have track east- row Q I would like to meet up. I don't close my store until 5pm. By the time i go home and get ready and the drive there, I will probably get there at 6:30 or so. ( maybe i can close a little early if business is slow)
Should be fun, 420..where are your seats? We are in East track row L.
Allegan accomodated seating for the catwalk, so Center Track ppl, get ready :)
Try to go if you can, JB!!!
I'm meeting a couple other KRC members there b/4 hand..
No beer tent guys, but beer inside the venue...do we want to try to get together at a bar beforehand in the Allegan area, my Allegan FC members? Or just meet inside show?
I will be there. 7th show this year. Can't wait
I'm still tryin' to get my husband to go. After 2 bottles of wine last night he said maybe?? What's a girl gotta do? Don't answer that... Hope you all have fun. Look forward to the details!
