OK, I've had a lot of people email or ask about information on the April 16th becky show at Green Valley Ranch. I will tell you what I know and what I hope to find out.
First, don't let the term "Ranch" fool you, this is a posh resort. It is a hotel and if you're spending the money to come out for this show, I recommend going ahead and springing for a room. It makes sense, if you factor in cab fare if you stayed elsewhere and who knows, maybe you'll bump into someone in the elevator. I don't even know if there's any less expensive hotels close by.
I would like to recommend that maybe someone should start a thread over at the beckyboard for room and ride sharing. I know a few people are going to LA for the HOB show and then coming here the next day. Maybe people can get together and rent a car or something. I really don't recommend taking the bus. Seriously. If there isn't anyone skeevy actually on the bus, there will be plenty of scary people at the station when you arrive. Plus, it's not close to Green Valley and what you'll end up paying in cabfare might make up the difference between a bus and a plane ticket. If you are planning on staying at Green Valley Ranch, when you make the reservation don't tell them your coming in for the becky show, make a separate call for any questions you have for that. Tell them your coming in for a "girls weekend" or something. Make them think you're going to gamble, it will grease the wheels and you can ask them about airport shuttle service and such.
OK, the venue - Whiskey Beach. How very Vegas, no? I've never been there and I really can't tell anything from the website. In fact this is the only picture they have, so I'm assuming we're all going hang out in a big bed in a box with becky band (hee!). Pillow Fight!
Seriously, I have no idea what this venue is like. I may try and go there in the next week or so just to check it out, but even so I think there will be a special setup for performances.
By the way, according to the announcement on the beckyband main page, both this and the HOB show are all ages. I would call and confirm to be sure.
Lastly, I will actually be working until 6pm on that Friday and will just be coming straight to the show so I can't play hostess or driver for anyone but I will be available to have drinks bought for me during and afterward.
Definately a drink on me girl..;)
thanks for the info! What a strange looking room...LOL Won't it be cold at night?

Posted by: Chianti on March 23, 2004 01:29 PMI dunno, this sounds like one wierdo performance space. Rain or shine? I'd love to see them, but what if it's pouring rain? To travel 1500 miles and go to a show in the rain would suck royally. I wish I lived closer.
Posted by: sta-cie on March 23, 2004 05:25 PMThey just say that. It doesn't rain in April in Las Vegas. Seriously. I just checked the weather history and last year we had a third of an inch total over the whole month. So even in the teensy chance it rains, it's not like it will pour.
Posted by: krix on March 23, 2004 05:27 PMHey, I was just doing the same thing! And suddenly wished I could edit my previous statement! :)
Posted by: sta-cie on March 23, 2004 05:39 PMWell, it rains like hell here in PA in April. We get about 40 inches of rain a year, and most of it seems to fall in April. So if becky a) ever did come to my state to play and b) played an outdoor gig, it would probably have to be in October. By then, the heavy rains have diminished and the humidity has dropped to a bearable level.

Posted by: Melissa on March 23, 2004 06:10 PMIt's Mikey's fault. Blame him. :)
