Did you ask for and get a DBT discount?

Finally confirmed. Plane tickets booked!

Hot damn! I'm excited for some shows but how about a Bears playoff game at Cutters!

Trying my ass off to make this happen. Lots going on this winter.

Once again, Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise!

No flights to book this year. if we're coming we're driving.

Yes sir.

Hell yes, Bears vs Falcs!

Possible. Not likely, but possible.

I've had the hotel booked for weeks! I am so in...now if the airfares would just drop a tiny bit...

Me too. Plus Courtyard booked

Early indications are that there may be a fairly sizeable European invasion this year.

Airfares are sucking the life out of me right now between Turkey Day, Christmas and DBT. Really high.

I might have to make this a week long trip on my scooter since I have to return a briefcase in Akron, Ohio.



Pretty convenient a Trucker's in the pic.

If I didn't have a job and responsibilities and a wife, this could be a pretty kick ass 11 day road trip for me.

I'll be in Georgia on Sunday for another engagement, so I'd love to see the NFC Championship game be the late one that day. In Atlanta, against The Beloved.

I lucked out three weeks ago and found airfare on Travelocity for $137/round trip from O'Hare to Hartsfield. Friday- Monday. I'll miss the Thursday show, however figured that I could spend the same on a nice dinner and some martinis that I could do for the airfare to the ATL.

WooHoo!!!!! Hubby and I are in! Hotel and flight booked....ready to rock and see so many of our friends again! (and meet new ones)!

What's the DBT price for a room at the Courtyard? Trying to decide whether to use points or not.

I'm in for all three nights. Bringing the wife along for her first homecoming trip. Just booked a room at the courtyard ($80/night) and we will be driving up from the coast of Alabama. Now we just need to find someone to watch our kids!!

In for sure, just need to wait and see if we can make all 3 nights this year or only Friday and Saturday like last year before I book a room. We really liked the Courtyard last time & it's close to everything so probably staying there again this year. Can't wait!

Hell yes! Mr. CCDD and I will be there for all three nights!

I am in! Can't wait to see everyone!!

We will talk books a couple weeks before the shows so I know what to bring. Leave a little room in your suitcase.

I'd urge everyone to book their Courtyard rooms now; I think the DBT deal will fill up fast.


Also, sure wish I could go to that Tipitina's show...I need to get back to NOLA.

I don't think we've ever met before although we've been at some of the same shows. We'll have to make a point to meet with you guys for cocktail at the Flicker or RPM's or something.

That would be a group of some of my favorite folks right there.
