From the manager of the Happy Clam in Hampton Beach!

“Hi Deb, Everything here is ready............. The band I put together is booked, with Michael McDonalds drummer, guitarist who worked in LA studios for years,and a solid Bassist. They are great . I need to get a rough number of how many you expect in the afternoon, so I can plan the munchies for you guys. Please call or email if you have any questions. Also, what time do you expect to start in the afternoon?? “

P.S. from me
The manager at the Happy Clam is a fan and musician and is hoping Taylor will stop by to jam with them after the show. No guarantee, but Taylor and band.. if you read this we’d love to have you.

:woohoo::woohoo:

From Kevin:

"The band is booked from 9-1. Capacity is 80-90 people
and
that's jammed !!!!! "


From Duff to NESP:
(I have no idea how many to expect to go to this.. since we know how many of "us" are attending, but have no clue of other, non NESP, attendees..... so I said 50-60???) What do you all think? I said we probably should keep it quiet that Taylor "might" show as we do not want a mob scene.. angry fans if he hops on the bus and is gone. (and that is probably what will happen IMO)

The interns at Gray Charles have all quit school to follow Taylor's Tour Bus around the country.  Gray's loss is NESP's gain, as I am posting my Hampton Beach venue pictures here.  

There will be no snow on April 5.
Click on the photo to enlarge, and see the scrolling marquee with Taylor's name..

The rear of the Casino.  Based on the condition of the billboard, they've been expecting Taylor since 1997.

A wider view of the front entrance.  The lines form here.  
But we have reserved seats, so there will be no lines.   I like this.

These pics are just making me want it to get here faster. I
seeing his name on signs in our area!

The really great thing is it probably won't be that crowded except for
the concert people so it will be like Taylor town. I don't know if he's
had that experience yet? Well, except for B'ham where it's hugely
Taylor town.

Maybe Taylor will be relaxed and ready to have some fun in Hampton Beach. I have been to Birmingham twice and frankly, I think he is pulled in so many directions when there by media and obligations (and obviously wants to be with family and many friends) that he is stressed out when there (sad).

I love these pictures of "our" venue !

Duff - I hope you're right, that Taylor can relax with us.  
I don't know who planned the radio show in Hartford for Thursday morning, that seems pretty crazy, especially when the Foxwoods tickets are so hard to come by.

I'm hoping he does some NH radio while he's here.  WZID (95.7) is having Kimberly Locke next Wed morning for their post-American Idol segment at around 8:45 am.  I know an Idol who will be in the New England area the following Wednesday......

Margeaux,

These pictures are great. I saw the venue in person about a month ago and your pictures bring back the excitement for me!

Thank you for taking them and sharing with us.
