From some thread.....
"the solar beach stage is available all weekend to all residents who have a beach parking permit or want to buy one for the day. it is located at the west beach section of the park and will be open until about 8pm.
but there is no entrance to the main part of the festival on thursday if you don\'t buy a weekend camping pass and pay the extra $20 thursday "early entry" fee. "
"ok, from what i was told: there is a "parking permit" sticker for the beach that residents can buy. bridgeport or connecticut? that i don\'t know. OR you can pay to park in that area if you\'re from anywhere and want to pay to get into that section of the park. how much does it cost? that i don\'t know either.
this is all i know about that "
As far as the west section goes, this was answered in a previous post via the newspaper:
Article from the CT Post today:
For the duration of the event, the west side of the park and beach will be restricted to city residents with beach stickers.
Fencing for the concert and parking areas will start to be erected next week.
On the west side, there will be 858 paved parking spots for city residents. No day passes for non-residents will be issued for the duration of the Vibes.
Basically, if this stage is in that part of the park that parking is only open to city residents, my guess is everyone\'s best bet would be to park in the ghetto and troop it.

for some reason my mind keeps drifting back to Burlington 2005.

i think ant will always be synonymous with Burlington 05\'
and they are definitely still playing on the free stage, right? 
Sooo I don\'t have to pay $55 to see a Breakfast show?
Also- anyone going to this who would be willing to pass out some passes for the 8/23 Toad\'s show, please contact me.
get a
**** load of them to Spacey, i\'ll take what ever you have
Dave and other Bfast tapers.
Are you planning on taping this show ?
I am trying to figure out my taping schedule for vibes and was wondering if this set is going to be covered.
The whole day sunday on that stage is really really good. I am leaning towards taping this stage and either patching for Buddy Guy and Los Lobos but still trying to make a decision
if i\'m there, i will be taping, but unfortunately, i won\'t be able to commit to anything until day-of.
Oh crap - if the time slot was a couple hours earlier, I could\'ve made it.
for those that can make it, its going to be a nice Sunday afternoon and our first fresh taste of the Breakfast.
I would go, but I\'ll be on my way back to NJ.

just missing, eh?
coming to CT for the weekend?
Something like that. I\'ll be up Saturday afternoon and leaving around noon on Sunday.
Todd & I will be there, hopefully with Toad\'s passes... I can\'t wait for the new Breakfast sound!!!

if you\'ll be in CT on Sunday, I highly suggest you change your plans & stay another 3 hours... this set won\'t be worth missing :awwyeah:
FreeSpirit, have you heard if Toad\'s passes exist?
