Hi Victoria- Yes, I went in 97 and 98, the year Patty was there. This year it is Oct 7-8- Sat & Sun- Patty is scheduled for Sat. Ticketmaster sells the gen admission tickets - last year there were about 5000 people there and tickets are something like $35 per day. The VIP tickets are sold by Avocado Productions and are $275 for both days, $ 150 for 1 day. 1-310-374-4837. I just ordered my VIP ticket today and they said they would probably be sold out in a week- there are 200 VIP tix for each day. The VIP ticket allows you to drive your car into the venue- The school is trying to prevent damage to the fragile terrain and does not have parking for 5000 people, so they bus most of the audience in from parking lots out on the main road. They provide a tent with soda, juice and sort of gourmet food for VIP tix holders-{ There are also good concessions up back for everyone else- typical festival food- looked good to me} and you can have first shot at running down to the front to claim your blanket spot right in the first few rows. The years I went, I crammed as many of my Jackson Browne friends as I could on my blanket- It was great going to the concert together- more like a happening. I am sharing a hotel room with a friend from the JB list and we are sharing the car as well as the blanket. If you cannot get the VIP ticket, by all means find me and sit with me! Don will be there too. We need the Patty contingent to be together for her set at least! If there are rooms available at Sky Ranch Lodge, go for it. It is very nice. Look in the AAA book otherwise. If you want to camp, Lo Lo Mai campground is good. I stayed at each place. There is a bus shuttle from the Phoenix airport to Sedona that drops you off at the Bell Rock, where I am staying this year. There are other motels right near there on that road. You can also stay in Flagstaff- 45 min north- hotels are cheaper and may have more vacancies than Sedona. If you rent a car at the airport, it is at least a 2 hr drive to Sedona. The area is gorgeous, and it is very nice in Oct- 90 maybe during the concert, but cool at night. If you can stay a couple of days, there are lots of things to do, like take a 2 hr sunset horseback ride in Red Rocks Park- I thought I was going to die- I am a total novice - never rode out of a ring in my life, and I expected to just get thrown right off that plodding steed by moonlight on those steep trails- but the view was awesome- I felt like a cowboy- no civilization in sight- just the open wilderness- next time I am wearing a helmet! , take a day to go up to Grand Canyon, just shop in Sedona- bring $, find the vortexes- I know where 3 of them are- 1 is a nice hike- lots of great restaurants and even take a 4 hr pontoon boat ride down the Colorado - 4 hrs drive up to Page. I took an excursion from Sedona where they pick you up at your hotel and drive a van of people up there and do the boat ride, have a nice lunch on the way home and bring you back to your hotel. It was awesome- no rapids, perfectly safe, but you get an idea of how the river made the Grand Canyon, which seems so dry up at the rim. I would love to do it again, but no free day this year on my 4 day weekend there. I will just be staying in Sedona. If Jen, Don, Victoria and I go from the list- maybe Lee? - Paul- we NEED you there- They have Margaritas ......... Dave too- and anyone else, we need to find each other and get together - sit together, etc. And we have to give Patty at least a small bag of M& M's which probably will be gooey in the heat- but she had quite a grin on her face when she looked at them on the stage floor in front of her at Slim's in June. She knew we were there. I am pretty sure I wrote a long review of the 98 Sedona concert to the list- if anyone has it, you could post it again- I don't. Are there archives? The Jackson Browne lists seems to consider this concert the highlight of the year- like a pilgrimage. It is as much the beautiful venue, as the music but even more, meeting fellow list members that makes it so special. Cheers- Hope to meet some of you there- Dana ------------------------------ End of mad-mission-digest V4 #245 *********************************
