UPDATE 07-31-09


We will be meeting at the Target parking lot in Gainesville at 2:30 p.m., not 1:30 p.m., as previously posted. This will still allow us plenty of time for a great tailgate, and getting good seats on the lawn. If you want to meet up with the group at Nissan, rather than carpooling, please call Karen on Saturday so we won't be waiting for you at Target.

Also, if you haven't posted what food item you'll be bringing for the tailgate, please do so now, so we'll have enough for everyone. We'll have sodas and bottled water, but remember, the tailgate is BYOB.

We will be tailgating with another meetup group, DC/MD/VA Adventures, so we can expect an additional 10 or so people.

See you Saturday!


Tickets are still available online at Live Nation.com by clicking here. The cost with fees is $42.00.

We will meet in the parking lot at Target store in Gainesville at 2:30pm. (13301 Gateway Center Dr.) I will be bringing a table and a couple of chairs, a canopy and grill, a cooler with ice, and all of the paper/plastic products. I can also accommodate up to six (6) additional people + coolers and chairs, etc., for those of you who wish to carpool into Nissan. Otherwise, I will email my cell phone number on Friday to everyone else who wants to join us for the tailgate. The concert is scheduled to begin at 6:30.

Food and drink:
Everyone should bring an item to share from the list below so please email me directly and let me know what you are bringing. This is essential so we have enough for everyone and not too many duplications!
BYOB, and remember, coolers and alcoholic beverages are NOT allowed to be brought into the Pavilion area. Also, alcoholic beverages must be poured into cups while partying in the Nissan parking lot.

For the tailgate, here are some suggestions:

Mark your calendar for another great Mega Country Ticket Concert (#3) with Rascall Flatts (http://www.rascalflatts.com/home2.php) and Darius Rucker.

Food: Everyone are on their own in regards to what they are bringing to eat/ share. This decision was made due to the lack of food responses to our last concerts that we have had to change the way we normally do our tailgates. Also, keep in mind we do not have a grill.

I hope to see all of you there!

Celebrate Fairfax!
2009 Festival
Let's meet at the Bud Light Main Stage at 2:30 pm June 7th ($12) so we can find a spot so we all can sit or hang out together.
Fairfax County Government Center

Phil Vassar will be performing Sunday, June 7th at 3:30pm on the Bud Light Main Stage
The concert is free with your admission ticket to the festival.
Tickets, directions, etc...
A little about Phil:
Those who best understand Phil Vassar site- good-time, whirling-dervish-on-the-piano, hardest-working-man-in-country-music Phil Vassar - also understands the ongoing evolution of his mostly self-penned music. And Prayer of A Common Man, his fourth studio album and first for Universal Records South, adds several more layers of artistic expression to his deepening repertoire.
The Virginia-born singer, songwriter and musician took his seat as country's leading piano man with the success of songs like "Just Another Day In Paradise" and "Six-Pack Summer." Hard work paid off for Vassar, first as a songwriter. He scored hits with Alan Jackson ("Right On The Money"), Tim McGraw ("For A Little While"), Jo Dee Messina ("Bye Bye," "I'm Alright") and BlackHawk ("Postmarked Birmingham"). His self-titled artist debut bowed in 2000 on Arista/Nashville, and the hits continued ..... please read more here.

Additional information about Phil Vassar may be found at his website, http://www.philvassar.com/.

A Thank You goes out to Cassie for letting me know about this event.
WooHoo for Cassie!
