Oh my freakin' lord, Pollstar has them listed as playing at the Bottle and Cork, the night before the Wolf Trap show.  I don't think those two venues could be any more different   B&C is a "legendary" establishment in Dewey Beach, DE...oh my god -- does that place bring back summer memories.  Who else has been there?

DEWEY BEACH DELAWARE??????????

Sweet! I guess I'll see you there

Anne

Oh. My. God.  I spent many, many regrettable evenings there, but I always had a blast.  I think I was there every Sat night during the summers of '86, '87, '88.  I took the hubby there in maybe 2001 (he wasn't in the picture in the '80s) and it was one of the rare places of my youth that he totally "got"--we got a big ol' load on and yelled and screamed to the Greaseband.  

Ironically, we were planning to be in Rehoboth that week, but made a recent decision to go to Italy this summer (earlier in Aug) and thus decided we couldn't afford both.  BUT--my friends are still going to be there, and I assume (1) we can crash on their couch and (2) they will have a line on a babysitter.  There's no way I can miss them there, I have to find a way to be there!

For the faint of heart, it does promise to be a rowdy night, and a stark contrast to Wolf Trap.

The Bottle and Cork!!! 

Being out here in Colo you'd never guess that I too remember many a summer weekend at the beach and of course, sat night at the B&C!!!

I lived in DE for eleven yeas. The Bottle and Cork is indeed "legendary" !  Flyersgal - I wouldn't be surprised if we were there on some of the same summer nights in the 80's!  (never have taken my hubby there, however)

I would love to see these guys there - but it is not in the budget, nor the schedule...beginning of a brand new school year - and hopefully in my new placement....

How cool is that. tho?  Great Big Sea at the B&C ? ! ?

Never would have guessed.....

Yay!  I have an aunt and uncle in Wilmington I can crash with!  Wahoooo....here comes summer!  Maybe if they play B&C, they'll make it back to Toad's in New Haven.  One can always hope.

Cheers all,

Kati

It's funny...missing AC, Hugh's Room,skipping the Molson...none of that has fazed me.  I thought I'd do Akron (hopefully) and Wolf Trap, and hope for something closer in the fall.

But as soon as I saw this show listing -  wow.  I knew I had to find a way to do it.  GBS on a hot August night at a notorious beach bar??!!?? This would be my version of heaven.

Plus we always go to Cape May (the Jersey shore) every summer - except this year.  I'm glad we're doing something different (probably a cruise to Nova Scotia - better check the travel thread!)...but i had some slight regret about not getting to the beach.  So now - even more perfect.

I'm getting a conditional "we'll try" from my husband - but I am determined.  Bowery/NYC in January, the beach in August - the Daffodil Place benefit in December?  Well, I aim high, and we'll see.

Jeez!  It was my high school/college bar too!  Are you from the New Haven area?

CHeers,

Kati

Bottle and Cork - wow what a blur that place is to me.  I've been there but I think only once.  We saw George Thorogood and the Destoyers - late 70's.  A friend of ours parent's had a beach house in Dewey and us hippies went there for a several day party.  It's all a blur really.....  

Now if I can just talk the hubby into going on 8/21 and then heading home the next day for Wolf Trap.  Maybe I'll remember more about being there this time.  tee/hee!

Thanks for the heads up Nova!! 

Ha ha! Very funny guys. I say "go to the beach" and you pick the wrong one.

It's SUNSET BEACH! SUNSET BEACH, NC! NOT DELWARE! NORTH CAROLINA!

Much warmer down there! 

Just a smidge above South Carolina!

Any vice can be met just an hour south in Myrtle Beach! 

Here I know a great rental company!
