More People == More Fun.  It's all about good times, good music and (sometimes) good food & drink. (occasionally swill and fast food but what the heck).  :mrgreen

OK, so as I posted yesterday.... I'm 97 % on this, have a hotel res at Comfort Inn & Suites in Manheim which Patsy says is on the other side of town & therefore 15-20 minutes away  (Mini Cooper says it's 10  :) ).  I am flying solo, and my ETA is as yet unknown.  Probably late afternoon Fri if'n I can get my lazy behind outta bed at a reasonable time.

This might be do-able...... the idea of not having to wait until April to see the Nach may motivate the 8 hour drive......  :mrgreen

To say nothing of the fact that it is but days before that feared "landmark" birthday......

Wow, that's one heckuva line-up for entertainment!


Question for those who stayed on site last year - is that $125 per night for a room, or for the whole weekend?

That's per night, based on my experience.  It ain't a cheap weekend, but it's well worth the investment.  Sharing is key.  :)

I stayed in the Radisson last year. The room was great. No issues. $125/night is not unreasonable based upon my travel experiences.  Having a roomie does defray the costs. The other thing you can do (if weird like me) is book now and put the funds aside each month to cover so you have no worries or BIG expenditure when you get there.

I am calling on Saturday to make my reservations. I am thinking to use the on-site hotel this time. It's a toss up. The Rad has Chumley's downstairs... Decisions!!

I can't recall what it was last year, but they had advance sales like NHHG where you can get discounts. :)

If I remember correctly, passes were available for the whole weekend for about $60.00.  That included the Friday night show.

If you don't mind driving ... there are places in Philly to stay and I mean IN Philly, not the suburbs.

Just a suggestion:

I didn't go to MidWinter in 2010 but in 2009 it took me 20 minutes to get home on the expressway that late at night and I live in South Philly.
Now during the day, it will take one hour because traffic is nuts but if you are going early am and coming back late pm, traffic is not bad.

I still need to make the fly vs drive decision. Got plenty of time to make up my mind.
