Introduce yourselves here!

[Countrygurl]

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the official Stagecoach Festival message board.

Say hello here, where you coming from, who you are most excited to see and whatever else.

I'll start.

I will be driving up from North Hollywood, CA. I Have edited this post for 2008. skip ahead to the last page and tell us something about you.
:)

[Seattle]

'kay, I'll jump into this thread! We'll be coming from Seattle. This lineup sounds just fantastic, but I confess, it was seeing the name of my main man, Earl Scruggs, that sold me on the show! I am a banjo-lovin' girl, and nobody does it like Earl! :)

[sugarready]

Hey guys!!!!! I'm comin from the Santa Ynez Valley up by Santa Barbara and I'm goin to see Sugarland because I am a HUGE fan!!!!!!! The rest of the line up is outragous though!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is going to be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :p

Hope to see you there!:p

[UglyAmerikan]

Im coming for the SFV just to see Ricky Skaggs. I also love Sugarland.. That girls is sooo cute.

[tdc1]

Hi everybody, I'll be driving from Oceanside CA. The group of choice for me is Sugarland. I just love those guys. But I'm very much looking forward to seeing the wide variety of talent that will be there for the weekend. It should be a great festival. I hope to see all you guys there.

[sugarready]

I also love Sugarland.. That girls is sooo cute.


She sure is!!!!!:D :D :D

[menikmati]

I was born in Oregon, and I'm afraid of horses. I like alt-country, I'm a fan of Woody Guthrie songs, and wish I knew how to pick like Ricky Skaggs.

[TomAz]

Hi. I'm Tom and I'm from Arizona. I like alt-country and think the rest of the lineup sucks balls. I like Coachella and punk rock too.

[tdc1]

Have fun Tom. LOL.

[billifer]

This is Bill & Jennifer...

We will be coming from Orange County. We can't wait to see Kenny Chesney again:) (this will be our 3rd concert of his). We plan on bringing the RV.

But we're big country fans.. also going to the www.countrycruisegetaway.com with Tim Mcgraw, at the end of this month.

[Countrygurl]

I love the name billlifer. ahahaha classic.

[billifer]

Thanx!

[Philthy]

Hello. I'm Phil I'm from the UK and I'm coming to Country Fest because I want to meet some country girls in real life. I'll be in the area, so I may as well come along!! I don't really listen to Country Music, I've got a Johnny Cash CD, and a Dolly Parton one, but my mum has a gazillion of them.

I know this isn't a great reason for coming, but it's the best one I could think of. And I'm a sucker for southern accents.

Is it compulsory to wear a stetson? and can I wear spurs too?

[Vee]

Hi, Vee here from Phoenix. I can't wait to attend this festival, excited to see Sugarland and Brooks and Dunn. I love Eric Church as well.

[mjbad]

greetings i'm mj, on a windy day i could probably throw a nice throwing rock to the Empire polo grounds from my crib, matter of fact i'll probably utilize one of those potato launchers toward the main stage when sugarfoot and kenny chutney play...just kidding about the potato launcher......i respect everybody's opinion regarding their taste in music....have fun on the site and at the show!!!

[Philthy]

Chamone MJ!! eeeheee

[menikmati]

I agree with Phil, I would love to meet some cute cowgirls, and I'm a sucker for some southern accents with a little twang

[Philthy]

I'm not that fussy......I can take a big twang or a little one. :)

[barrelracinbabe]

Hey everybody! My name is Hannah! I am so excited for this show! FINALLY some country out in Ca!!! The lineup looks absolutely amazing so far! And I am excited to see everyone, but I'm especially excited for my favorite group, SUGARLAND!! They are pretty much why I am going, so I'm super excited!

Can't wait to see everyone there in 103 days!!:D


~Hannah

[michelle98264]

.. also going to the www.countrycruisegetaway.com with Tim Mcgraw, at the end of this month.

I'm SOOOOOOOO jealous!!! Wish I could afford that. I almost went on the Kenny Chesney cruise last year.

[michelle98264]

I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Michelle and my husband and I are driving down from Lynden, WA. We are coming down mostly for all the main stage artists but we hope to catch some of the others. What a great line-up! We are able to skip 2 or more concerts this year and another festival because of this one!

[samicraig]

Hello Im Sami,
My husband Tommy and I will be comming from 5 miles away from the polo grounds. I got tickets last year to my fav. KENNY for my birthday and had such a great time that when we heard on the radio we knew we had to get tickets. well guys see you there. Any one bringing a tent?? We are a weekend without the kids!!!!! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[billifer]

I'm SOOOOOOOO jealous!!! Wish I could afford that. I almost went on the Kenny Chesney cruise last year.

I heard u didn't miss much. I've seen Kenny 3 times & heard that a lot of people were disappointed with Kenny in the Bahama's. They thought he was hung over. Maybe he had too much Rum & diet? :p

We also went to the CMA's in NY, that was the coolest!! It was a 3 hr concert.. I got to meet Trace Adkins which was cool.

The theater on the ship that Tim is performing in only holds 1400 people! that'll be a small concert. We can't wait.! :D

[TexasBlues]

We're transplanted Texans living in Orange County, CA. Although there are a handful of good country bands out here, not enough to get our fix. SO... we had to form our own country music dance band to hear what we like as often as we like! http://www.redhotroosters.com. And WHAT we like is all over this lineup! The whole band is shutting down for the Stagecoach Festival weekend. We've all bought our tickets and currently pricing (debating) RV camping vs. being part of the motel militia. Either way, we're excited about the festival and really looking forward to this event! Hope to meet some of ya'll there.

TexasBlues (TheRooster)

[tdc1]

Right back at ya TexasBlues, It should be a hoot.

[ErinButterfly]

:D Hey there everyone! I have not yet purchased tickets but my Best Friend and I are really planning. The line up sounds amazing. We are hoping to camp in tents on site from Friday to Sunday night. Anyone else out there thinking to camp? Sounds like it will be a major party is you ask me. I would love to meet some country men. This is going to be like going on a trip with awesome music. I can not wait. I am coming from the Hollywood area that Friday evening if anyone want to carpool!? PS. I am a 26/ female. Any other young singles out there in the LA area? Cheers, Erin

[chesneygrl]

Hi,
I'm Cheryl and my husband and I are coming from Santa Clarita, CA for the weekend and can't wait to do some Country Partying without the kids!! We are camping in our RV on site. What a great lineup they have, should be an awesome concert!!

[48FAN]

Howdy,
I am Tommy, I also am a transplanted Texan, Houston TX. I like Living here in California but sure do miss home. My Company moved me here for a few years. My wife and I were fortunate enough to get great VIP tickets through the Kenny fan club, we will be part of tent city!! Hope to make some new friends who appreciate country music as we do. I almost wrecked my truck when I heard the announcement for this on the radio!!!!

[Martin Gore]

hi!!!

[cici_in_socal]

I heard u didn't miss much. I've seen Kenny 3 times & heard that a lot of people were disappointed with Kenny in the Bahama's. They thought he was hung over. Maybe he had too much Rum & diet? :p

Hi I'm Cici, my husband and I will be driving from Alhambra (approx. 1 1/2 hrs from Polo Field)....we'll be renting an RV.

Billifer, my husband and two children went to see Kenny at the Bahamas and it was awesome.....the people complaining were a bunch of whinners that didn't appreciate sittin in the sand. He played a full set and he even allowed his fans to video-tape (I taped the entire show thanks to Kenny). You're gonna have a incredible time at Tim's cruise....I wish we were going.....enjoy :) Anyhow, we are really excited and looking foward to meeting new freinds. See you all there!

[Pupgill]

Hi, me and my mom are coming from La Quinta,CA. It's by Palm Springs. I'm coming to the festival to see Sugar Land, Brooks and Dunn, Miranda Lambert, and Kenny Chesney. I lovve them!!!!:D

[tdc1]

Hi Pupgill, welcome to the Stagecoach message boards. You will find that most of us here welcome your views, and YOUR love for YOUR style of country music. Please don't be scared away by the few bad apples here that aren't secure enough to let other people freely express their views, without bad mouthing them or their choice of country music styles. I hope you enjoy it here, and hope to meet up with you and your mom at the festival to say hi. Welcome.

[parrothead760]

I'm coming from about 10 miles away -- I live in Palm Desert... so at least I'll get to go home and sleep in my own bed each night! :D

I'm looking forward to seeing EVERYONE that I can manage to see. I'm a huge fan of all genres of music - so a country music festival, especially since it's 10 minutes away from my house - sounded like a lot of fun!!! George Strait is DA MAN!!!!!

[rdy2prty]

Hi all, I'm Bev and will be going with a group from Orange County, San Diego, and Riverside. We will have two RV's between us and we all love all kinds of country music.

We crank it up while floating down the Colorado River in the summer and sitting by the camp fire in Glamis in the cooler months.

Most recent saw Brooks and Dunn along with Sugarland at the Coors amphitheater in San Diego last Oct. Great Show.

I agree Sugarland rocks, but so did the whole show.

I look forward to seeing as many performers as I can and partying with the crowd. I think it will be kick a$$ fun.

The weekend following the festival I will be going to Nashville, hang out at Broadway and 5th honky-tonks and taking in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

[billifer]

Hello All!!

We're back from the Country Cruise Getaway. We had a great time, but sorry to say Tim McGraw was not so good.! A lot of people complained about his performance and some people left in the middle. It was pretty disappointing.

On the other hand Chris Cagel WAS SO AWESOME!! Him and Neil McCoy walked around like regular guys.. I'm definately a big Chris Cagel fan now! He signed autographs & took photos for hours and his concert was a lot of fun!

All that to say, I'd definately go back next year because all the extra's made up for Tim McGraws disappointing performance.

=)

[sirpippen]

My wife and I can hardly wait to see many of the performers. She is most interest in Kenny of course. I really want to see George, & Brooks & Dunn.

I'd love to see them add Josh Turner, Brad Pailsey, Buddy Jewel, and Gretchen Wilson.

We're coming from Santa Maria which is real close to where sugarready will be coming from.

[Jacqohearts]

I'll jump right in. We'll be coming from the Inland Empire. Line up is awesome. Can't wait!! Is anyone RV'in it for the weekend. Birthday bash at our RV.

[jillepoo]

Hi

[Glockgirl]

Hi all..

I'm just a county music loven So Cali native and the Vegas girls and I thought Stagecoach would be a fun weekend. There is a group of about 10 of us going. Great idea for a message board to connect those attending!

Looking forward to both the concerts and the friends we'll met there. The shopping sounds like it will be a blast also!

[heavenlymoon76]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Mahea and my husband and I will be coming from Twentynine Palms, CA. We are hoping to get a glimpse of ALL the artists performing :D. I am so excited about this festival that on a daily basis I think I check these message boards and the website more than I check my email :p

[MountainSheilah]

Hi. My name is Sheilah and I'm bringing my husband and my 8 yr old daughter to the festival from Mammoth Lakes CA. My daughter is so excited to see all the new artist, however I'm excited to be able to share George, Willie, and some of the other old timers with her.:) This will be an event she'll always remember. Maybe Willie will wear her hat:p We also can't wait to learn to lasso and ride the mechanical bull. Thanx stagecoach for putting this event together, we're counting the days and can't wait.

[snappyjoy]

Hey all,

[Kymery]

Hi, my name is Kymery and I am bringing my hubby, Doug (about time he got out of the house and did something with me..hehehe) We are from Norco/Mira Loma area and we are bringing our 5th wheel toy hauler, it needs to get out too! We are always at our sons races or camping at Glamis, not concerts, so this will be a fun time without all the kids and worring about who is next to race and panicking to get the bikes together, just wish we could bring pit bikes.:D We will be tipping a few back and meeting new people! Pray for nice, warm weather:cool:

[drue]

Hey ya'll. I am Andrew and I am coming in from Orlando FL. This will be my first time in Cali and am looking forward to a great weekend of music. I normally hit the Jazz Fest in New Orleans this time of year, but when I heard of this festival on Sirius' Outlaw Country station, well that did it. Just had to try and make it. I am very much looking forward to seeing Emmylou, Kris, Lucinda, Willie, and Junior. Guess which stage I will be planted in front of. Hope everyone has a safe trip to and from the show and maybe we'll get a chance to say hey.

[Jim In Studio City]

18 of us are coming from WEHO. We are all FLAMIN GAY MEN and we can't wait to terrorize all of the str8 rednecks @ the festival. 3 of the guys will be in total drag. As you know Palm Springs is only 12 miles from Indio and Palm Springs as you know is VERY GAY!!!! There is a HUGE bus load coming from Palm Springs as well.

But now they have decided to be cheap @$$es, and say that they can't afford to go... Looking forward to meeting anyone & everyone that is in for a good time... Hopefully I'll see some of you there... for I may be going SOLO

[ajlover]

Hello all, I'm Terry and I'm coming from the Apple Valley area up in the high desert. Hubby doesn't do these type of things but I sure do. Coming mainly to see Alan and George but looking forward to all the performers. I've seen Alan 12 times in the last year. This is going to be an AWESOME weekend.

[montanapammy]

Hi everyone, and thanks for sharing about yourselves! I'm Pam, and my boyfriend and I are packing up our home in Montana and going full time RVing. Stagecoach is our first stop.

We have an eclectic taste in music, can't wait to experience the likes of Cowboy Nation and Railbenders, Del McCoury, etc...........but we are also looking forward to some of the more traditional artists.

After the festival we are going to Memphis in May, the world barbeque competition. Then to the Bean Blossom Festival (Bill Munroe's bluegrass festival), Rock-Fest in Cadott, WI and the big airshow in OshKosh, with many stops in between to see friends, hit breweries and watch sporting events.

Can't wait to meet some or all of you if we get the chance. Safe travels to all!

We love that even Ramblin Jack will be there. We are doing Merrill Fest the week before. So us bluegrass, cowboy, folk lovers won't be disappointed. Sure we will catch a few country acts with our VIP seats for th main stage. Our fear? There is just too much to see in two days!

[SHOW&GO]

My wife and I are coming in from Dallas. We've seen most of the main stage acts several times, but looking forward to seeing them all in the same weekend. Between Kenny, Sara, & Sugarland I can't decide who the favorite is. Looking forward to it!! Anyone received there tickets by mail yet?

[jeannemacl]

My husband Bob and I are coming from Rancho Mirage about 12 miles from the Polo Grounds - he is an Emma Lou Harris fan - I need to see Willie Nelson!

[LDSCowgirl]

Hi ya'll. I read through a bunch of these posts on this here thang and could NOT believe my EYES when no one even mentioned one of the most talented musical artists of our time. Yes, you guessed it even if you don't even know it...George Strait. Holy crap am I excited to see him or what!!! Of course Sugarland, Willy Nelson, and Mr. Chesney are a magnificent bonus, but I would gladly pay the $200 bucks just to see George. Oh my my my...talked about wrapped around his finger. HAVE FUN AT THE CONCERTS EVERYONE! I HOPE YOU'RE ALL HALF AS EXCITED AS I AM!!! HOPE TO SEE ALL YOU ADORABLE COWBOYS THERE ;)

[lilrdnc@yahoo.com]

[jb012]

Hi, I'm Jeff from Birmingham, England. Had already planned a trip to Arizona when I saw the festival advertised so made plans to head west! So many artists I want to see: Willie, Emmylou, Ricky Skaggs, Nickel Creek, Grascals, Hillman/Pedersen. I could go on! It looks like being a great festival.

[Gary's Masseuse]

I love Gary Allan also, I saw him at the McCallum in December and it was awesome. Looking forward to Stagecoach each year. Have a wonderful time!!!

[Gary's Masseuse]

I love Gary as well, saw him here in the desert in December and he was awesome. Looking forward to Stagecoach each year.

[Taylore]

Hi. I'm Taylore. My mom, daughter and I are celebrating Mother's Day by going to Stagecoach. My daughter and I are in Palos Verdes, but just moved here about 2 years ago from Indio, and my mom is in Joshua Tree. We're really excited to see everyone, but my 7 year old daughter is crazy about Jason Aldean, and my mom is excited to see Chris.

[jjtjwilson]

Hey All!!

This is Jeff and Jen. We are coming from Huntington Beach, California. Soo excited. We will be doing the camping thing. I just looked at all of the pre-fun stuff for Friday night before the true party begins! Sounds like fun.. Nothing like a few days of fun w/out the kids (no offense to the parents bringing kids). Sometimes you just need a little vacation and then another vacation from the vacation. It's just a vicious cycle.. Anyways, the count down is on!!!

[Countrygalfromca]

Hey!
We are coming from Ojai, CA...
We know(from FedEx) that there are some folks coming from our area!
Give a shout!
Hey Karen - let's get together!
Only 2 weeks away! Cool! Now we are counting down the days instead of months!
Waiting to see Jason (whoa), Marty, George, Miranda, Gary, RAUL, B&D ....
and the whole gang!
Take Care and we will see you all at Stagecoach!
Party on!
Bobbi
:D
:cool:
:p

[mhawkins@taft.org]

Hi my name is Maryanne and I am coming from a rural town outside Bakersfield CA. I am so excited!! Fabulous music, cowboys, a party, bring it on!!

[HulaGirl]

Aloha from Hawaii! My husband and I will be flying in from Hawaii just to go to Stagecoach Festival. Looking forward to some great country music. Aloha

[extragood]

LDSCowgirl, I was thinkin' the same thing!! How can ya'll not be excited about the greatest country singer ever, Mr. George Strait!! Newest member to the Country hall of fame, and 54 #1 hits, (soon to be 55 with Wrapped) and the man is only 54 yrs old!!!! I am so happy he is playing here, see y'all there!!!

[Swiss_Cowboy]

Yeeehaaa

I am coming all the way from Switzerland (Europe) to be part of that great festival!

Ceee yaaa

Thomas

[Crazylegs]

Hi my name is Maryanne and I am coming from a rural town outside Bakersfield CA. I am so excited!! Fabulous music, cowboys, a party, bring it on!!

Hey Maryanne, I too am here in Bakersfield. Are you going to be camping, or staying at a hotel. Just my friend James and I are going... We are leaving Friday afternoon

[nickeleej]

Hi,

It's a girls weekend for myself and 3 of my friends. We are coming from the Santa Clarita Valley and can't wait to hear and see everyone and everything! I'm a huge Sara Evans fan and my friend is a die hard Kenny Chesney fan! We will not leave until he sings and has left the stage:D

[caliredneck]

I'm Caliredneck and I'll be comming from the L.B.C. It's not easy being a cowboy in the ghetto. My friends tell me that my Confederat belt buckle alone will someday get me shot in this neighborhood.
I've seen most of the newer bands in the past few years. I have'nt seen Willi since I was just a pup so I'm really looking forward to see him. I don't do drugs, but I would really love to go back stage and burn one with him. That would be something I could proudly tell my grandchildren.

[coolcodemn3]

Cody from Newbury Park, my sister and her friend from Newport and two of my friends are gonna be camping there. Plan on having fun and getting wasted(just kidding)

[djcravenboles]

:D Hi: I'm djboles. I have tickets for 2 both on Saturday 5/5 and Sunday 5/6. Due to a family emergency I will need to travel to the east coast. Therefore, I will not be able to attend the festival (Ugh!) which I have been looking forward to for months. If you know of anyone interested in purchasing my tickets, I will sell them for $300.00 total for both tickets/both days! I paid almost $400.00 when I initially bought them. I need at least $300.00 to repay money borrowed to attend the east coast. I will not be available via e-mail or at this site. If you are interested, contact me at: (209) 838-6229. THIS IS NO JOKE!

[bigmark35]

hay all i just got to Hollywoog from NC to intern with umgd im in love with music

[Countrygurl]

ok come on everyone.. this is the place to post your first post about you. tell us a little bit like who you are most excited to see or your name or where you are coming from or anything really.

[bentleysmom]

Hi,

I'm from the Central Coast area. My husband and I (middle age) attended last year with our son & daugher (twenties). We all had a fantastic time and can't wait for Stagecoach 2008.

The lineup is unbelievable and it looks like the promoters have worked out a few of the kinks from last year.

We had reserved seating last year and hope to get them again this year but I'm sure they'll be even harder to obtain now that everyone knows what a great festival this is.

See you there!

Bentleysmom

[mygirlsandilovecountry]

ok come on everyone.. this is the place to post your first post about you. tell us a little bit like who you are most excited to see or your name or where you are coming from or anything really.

Okay, so... My little girls and I are the biggest country fans!! Last year I was fortunate enough to WIN my tickets from KFrog's Hoppy & Toady's listener of the day. (That made my year!) I didn't know if it would be a good idea to bring a 3 and 4 year old to the concert... didn't know how rowdy it would get. But after experiencing such a pleasant atmosphere, my husband and I WILL be bringing them this year. And OMG are they STOKED!!! They'll be walking around the house with their pink 6 strings singing all their favorite songs "practicing" so they can sing with the artists! lol! I was fortunate enough last year to also get to meet Sugarland (Christian & Jennifer) and that was awesome!! They signed a cd for my girls.

If you didn't go last year, buy your tickets as soon as they go on sale!! Don't wait! It is worth EVERY PENNY!!!!!!:D

[gaypalmsprings]

I'm gay & I live in Palm Springs.

[Ike Skidmore]

Hi, my name isn't really Ike.. I guess you could call it a stage name.

I'm really more into bluegrass/roots music/classic country more than modern country/country pop, just because the old stuff is what I grew up with.

I think the 2008 lineup looks great- impressed by the Judds reunion. If Alison Krauss were on the poster it would be perfect- but maybe that's too perfect.

[billifer]

We just came back from Nashville where we attended the CMA's. did any1 c how bad Rascal Flatts were?? Hopefully they'll do better for us here in Cali.

If you haven't been to Nashville I would highly recommend going, I LOVED IT!
Can't wait to party with ya'll @ this Years Stagecoach, Country Music fans r the BEST!

[grissem]

Hi I'm Grissem.

I went to the festival last year and had a blast with my buddies. We weren't sure what to expect. I read a few message boards but this is the first one I'm talking on. I can't wait for next year!

[hillbillyRockstar]

Hi, I'm usually on at countryboards.com, but came over here since I won tickets to Stagecoach from Go Country 105.

I like Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, George Strait, Garth Brooks, and Jason Aldean. Those are my top favorites. Oh no, I left out so many. I like Gary Allan, Craig Morgan, Brad Paisley...Ok, so you get the point. I like the bands in-between traditional and super-pops. I don't like Rascal Flatts and Big N Rich as much (though I do like them still, but not as much as the others I mentioned).

I'll be coming to Stagecoach for the first time (couldn't last year), and hopefully it will be the blast it looks to be!

[KittyLeigh]

Hey everyone! I'm Kat (Katrina) from Torrance, CA (about 10 miles S of LAX). There's about 10 of us going this year - a mix of family and friends - and a few of us will more than likely be camping it.

Went last year and had a blast! Already looking forward to the 2008 event!

[realgoodfan]

We be Mike and Cheryl from Victorville , just moved from Corona,


Tim Mcgraw is numero uno, the rest are all cool, haven't the Judds or Dierks Bently .yet:confused:

[SoCalbarrelbaby951]

Hi!

What kind of tickets did you win? Gold circle, reserved, or general admission?

[QUOTE=gaypalmsprings;3997]What kind of tickets did you win? Gold circle, reserved, or general admission?[/QUOTE.
This isn't for this person, but I won them from 105.1 KKGO & they are general seating. But that's ok, 'cause I'm going!!!:D :D :D

[heexudes]

Hi I am Steven. I will be flying in from Dallas, Texas. This is so cool to be doing this festival. I'm huge Judds' fan and enjoy many of the other acts too!

Happy music in May everyone!

[maddy1212]

Ok, since nobody's been here since 2007, here goes...I'm Maddy and Renee. We were at Stagecoach last year and had a bllllllllllaaaaaaaaasssssssssttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!! Could harldy wait for this year. Ordered our tickets of all sorts (concert, camping, rv, electrical). We havent' gotten them yet, but they'll get here. I also won a pair from our radio station here in LA and was told I'd get them about April. Hope to see everyone there!! We're coming from Whittier and will be there Friday without fail. I can hardly wait!!!!!

[KellyKHB]

Hello everyone! We are so excited to be apart of this year. We will be camping the weekend and partying with the rest of you. It's awesome to see so many are coming in from TX! Family in Royce City. For those unfamiliar, that's country. :rolleyes:

[heavenlymoon76]

Welcome Maddy, Renee and Kelly! I'll be camping too. Can't wait to party at Stagecoach! See you guys there :D Cheers :)

[Sweet T]

I'm Sweet T, I love the old style country the most and I 'bout peed my pants when I found out that Gretchen AND the Judds are going to be there. I'm having a really hard time justifying the expense, but somehow I just gotta go!

I'm southern born and raised, here in CA with my Marine, and we have two little boys. They like country too, at least for now, and enjoy wearing cowboy boots!

[spacytracey]

I would like to know if there are going to be more chances to win as I am poor and really would like to go to this event. I was able to attend last year but this year unless some kind of miracle happens for me I won't be able to make it. And I really like the line up.

[spacytracey]

I want to know how to win these tickets. I have tried and tried to win. Give us more chances please! And not through the widget. In the begining we just put our names in. It is almost impossible to win on the radio. I need to win please.

[cutedogz]

Hi,I'm sheila i live in Ontario,Ca.I am 1 hour from palmsprings.I have never been to stagecoach,But my sisters say' it's a blast.They went last year.I hope I can go this year.I would like to see Dwight Yokam,Trace Adkins.The Judds.Can anyone tell me about the other events there like the hayrides,Mechanica bull costs ect.?

[Countrygurl]

yes check the website frequently. check out the pictures too!

[Sweet T]

Hi, my name isn't really Ike.. I guess you could call it a stage name.

I'm really more into bluegrass/roots music/classic country more than modern country/country pop, just because the old stuff is what I grew up with.

I think the 2008 lineup looks great- impressed by the Judds reunion. If Alison Krauss were on the poster it would be perfect- but maybe that's too perfect.
OMG, I would just LOVE to see Allison Krauss! One of my bandmates just melts at the mention of her name, but I have to admit I love her too, and Imma girl!

[snappyjoy]

Snappyjoy!

2 time stage coach attendee here.. Went last year and had a blast, this year I am camping in ED2. and Looking forward to all the great people and alot of great music and fun fun fun...
Coming from La Mirada.... YEEE HAAA.

[Curly]

Curly LaJolla from just outside Portland, Oregon. I attended last year. Mostly we hung at the alt stage (Palomino?). it was a hoot! We will be there again this year.

I am wondering when the full schedule might be available.

[Cooter]

probably not until a few days before the festival...at least that's how it works for coachella.

DITTO!!! Ignore his posts, it only fuels his ring o' fire. I have requested that he be asked to tone it down (as well as others) so this can be a family/fun site. Not that it was done, but anyway, we can all have fun and enjoy each others posts without all the sarcasm:D

[warnest]

My friend and I are coming from 29 Palms. We are bringing our girls(12 yrs and 9 yrs) with us. The girls can't wait to see Taylor Swift!

[Rose]

Welcome warnest. Your girls will have a blast! Did you go last year?

Taylor Swift sure did score last night at the CMT's.

[abra]

My friend and I are coming from 29 Palms. We are bringing our girls(12 yrs and 9 yrs) with us. The girls can't wait to see Taylor Swift!

You guys are going to have such a great time! My girls are 7 and 5.... maybe 3 more years and I'll start bringing them. Of course, then I'd have to be responsible mom.... and so far, Stagecoach has been mom's girl weekend get-away!! Yeehaw! = )

[Lizzy]

I took my 3 year old last year and opted this year to bribe my cousin to watch her. Too many bathroom requests and I'm thirsty, I'm hungry. I agree with abra then I would have to be a responsible mom and this is my once a year getaway!

[Kymery]

Whoooo...meeee...a responsible mom? BRAHAHAHAHA

[Papa's Smokehouse BBQ]

Hello everyone!!! We would like to invite all of you guys to come over to Papa's Smokehouse BBQ during Stagecoach this year...we will be located at the Stagecoach Invitational BBQ Cook Off area, on the NE corner of the event. We'll be open 3pm on Friday, Noon on Saturday and Sunday. We'll be selling full plates of food.... Ribs, (we won People's Choice for Ribs at last year's Stagecoach), Pulled Pork, and Beef Brisket (yes, it's more tender than tri-tip) Sandwiches for $10.00 and we include coleslaw and baked beans for free with your meal!!! We're hoping you guys come on by and see us, you can't miss us...we are the "big yellow trailer". There will be a lot of other choices for you to buy BBQ, and during the People's Choice (12p-5p)you can buy tickets to "sample" BBQ, then you get to cast your vote for the best BBQ at the event.....but rest assured, as far as feeding you guys...we'll be open and never run out of food!! We didn't run out last year, either! We are in a better spot, so you can't miss us!!! See you at Stagecoach!!

[Kymery]

I dont wanna be rude. BUTTTT....can we keep it down to one post, not the same post on each site.

I respect you wanted to let us know about your BBQ and all, but there is a post for that, and some of us get emails when there is a new post, and it takes so much time to open each thread just to read the same things.

Thank you...for letting me vent.

Now, start introducing yourselfs you little lurkers.

[warnest]

Rose....yes, my friend and I went last year. It was our welcome home to the USA(we lived in Japan the last 6 years)! The concert was awesome and we had fun camping. The girls really want to see Taylor but we are starting to wonder if we should just have their daddy's bring them to us for that day so they aren't complaining all day about the camping. We will have to see :)

that sounds like a good plan for girls and moms... just cuz you'll be able to have a good time the rest of the weekend, and they won't be exhausted from the marathon sun, walking, etc.

[horsephotographer]

Hi..
I loved last year so much fun..
We just moved to the desert last may and what a great introduction...
Beware of the traffic re routing you miles away...
Wonder if the tack room bar on the grounds will be open?
Last year we only went during the night because it was hot and could not go in and out.
I live one block from the event and looking forward to the beautiful nights and great music.I'm a mother of two girls 25 and 12.We took the girls last year and someone gave us wrist bands to get to the VIP because they were leaving...
Oh what a great time..
You are all going to love the event.If anyone wants info on restaurant's or places for breakfast's close by let me know.Hopefully I can lead you in the right direction..
Hope to see you all there...



We have lots of great friends going ...Many with Motor Homes..
It is going to be a hoot...

Hi everyone , my name is Bert and I will be coming to Stagecoach from Hawthorne Ca. I didn't get to go last year but was lucky enough to win tickets on KKGO. So, leaving the soon to be ex @ home (ruined my Kenny concert @ Home Depot Center last year) and takin the mom. I'm so excited to see all of the artists it is too difficult to pick out just one.

[sailorgirl]

Hello Everyone,

Can not wait to get the party started!!! I went last year with a couple of girlfriends and had an absolute blast. So many FINE cowboys to improve the scenery. We made up acronyms for the cowboys KYSO-Keep Your Shirt Off, TYSO-Take Your Shirt Off, PYSO Put Your Shirt On, and TYPO, which I will let you figure out.

This year we decided to camp to get the whole Stagecoach experience. There will be six of us girls camping in ED1. We are driving up on Friday from south Orange County. I hope there are still some good spots left. We will be the motorhome with the redneck golf game going on, so come on over and challange us to a game.

[Wild Ride]

I have to stop ..
I will never have enough Prints for my big event next week...
Between this and trying to win tickets.
I'm crazed..
I missed the secret location by 10 min.. this afternoon...
I admit I'm soooo compulsive when I get something in my head...

Should we have a group at SC that meets each morning like all additive groups?:D

photographer.... what camera do you use? are you getting a press pass so you can bring it in?

[Kymery]

Abra, do you think it would be worth it to see if someone has some camping wristbands for sale for cheep, especially if they need to unload them, then you can come early each day, and you are welcome to hang with us at our rig and make yourself at home, you can lock your stuff in there while you party at the Polo bar, or during the concert etc, then you can wonder around and really enjoy the weekend.

Then if you buy crud and need to put it away, you can take the shuttle to the rig and store it.

I promise it would be worth it! I have 2 a/c's in my rig...so promise you wont get hot!!

Just a thought. I know i would do it if I were in a hotel. Sheesh I would even offer part of my spot, pitch your tent, and if it really got that hot for you, you would sleep inside...hubby snores...but hey, drink another beer and you would never notice.

getting wristbands ahead of time is a good idea! think it'd be expensive?

you are so sweet to offer up your tricked out rig to me!!... but i gotta stick with my girlfriends since some are coming from a loooong way. it's a long weekend, with a lot of roaming, so i plan to break away and meet up with you guys several times.

You might want to take her up on it.Wait till you see how hard it is to leave...

[Wild Ride]

Sweet!

[Kymery]

well its $50 retail and I sure would think someone needs to dump some for a good price...I will keep my eye open.

But for $50 you could go tothe Polo bar on thurs, come early each day and hang out, and hang out after the concerts for a while, not a bad deal...like paying for a bar entry and tab.

Hey everyone...My hubby and I are doing stagecoach for the first time this year, staying at Holiday Inn Express in Indio for 3 nights, Does anyone know if there will be taxis /shuttle busses/transprt/ for us CONDO CAMPERS!!!!
We are coming from Texas....CANT WAIT!!

[Kymery]

Yes, there are taxi's, dont count on a shuttle unless they offer it, you might want to call.

Whoo hoo a Texan! All my ex's live there.

[DISNEYCHIC2]

HEYYYYY, the campgrounds are filling up fast!!

Hello to you all. We are excited to come this year. And I will be bringing my husband too.
On that note: He had surgery in Feb and may need a resting area. Do you think that I should buy the camp wristbands, even though we will be driving home every night? Darn Dirtbike riding, last year I had to miss two days because he fractured his ribs. This year I am going to need more alcohol. :D

Hey everyone...My hubby and I are doing stagecoach for the first time this year, staying at Holiday Inn Express in Indio for 3 nights, Does anyone know if there will be taxis /shuttle busses/transport/ for us CONDO CAMPERS!!!!
We are coming from Texas....CANT WAIT!!
Welcome...
Get ready for a vacation never to forget....
I know we have taxi service everywhere and limo..
So if you get a group going back to the same area.maybe you should pitch in and go in luxury..
pm me and I will send you local phone numbers so you can work it out in advance...:)
By the way love wine.....
Cab and old vine zin's are some of my favorites...

[horsephotographer]

Hello to you all. We are excited to come this year. And I will be bringing my husband too.
On that note: He had surgery in Feb and may need a resting area. Do you think that I should buy the camp wristbands, even though we will be driving home every night? Darn Dirtbike riding, last year I had to miss two days because he fractured his ribs. This year I am going to need more alcohol. :D

I think maybe you should leave him home to rest....?
If he does go I think you should bring a nice comfy chair also...
The above idea is a good one....:D

[SassyVal]

hello everyone..... I am in San Bernardino California and my sister and my best friend will be with me.. This is our first year and we are soooooooooooooooo excited!!! Any advice to the newbie, I would appreciate it.. Thanks...

[tgcali]

Welcome Sassy,

Just surf around the threads, there is ALOT of good information here.

Are you camping? If so, where?

[sunkisses]

Hi I'm Tracie and I'm coming alone! None of my friends like country music, the losers!! Looking for some nice/fun people to party with! Ya'll sound really fun from reading all the posts.

[SassyVal]

Thanks tgcali

We are definitely camping and we are pitching a tent.. woohhoooo....

This is so darn exciting... I just cant wait...

[SassyVal]

Hi Tracie...
Are you camping???

[tgcali]

Just look for my login with my avatar on my tent! I'll have my 11 year old with me so I can't party hard. But it's gonna be a blast anyway!


(I just changed my avatar picture back to the one I'll use on my sign so I don't confuse everyone. I usually change the picture frequently, but I'll leave it be.)

[SassyVal]

Ok tgcali, I will look for your avatar... Is it just you and your child?
That is great that your bringing your child.....

[sunkisses]

I do love me a man with a drawl....I know what you mean!

[tgcali]

Ok tgcali, I will look for your avatar... Is it just you and your child?

It's her first concert too. Like I said in another thread, I'm either way cool or really stupid. I'm not sure which.

[tgcali]

Among other assets.

[SassyVal]

I think its great that your bringing your daughter... I was actually thinkin of bringing my 10 year old daughter, she would flip over this... Just not sure yet what to do... I mean its FREE for her...

[tgcali]

Mine is 11 and driving me to distraction about seeing Taylor Swift. She actually had the nerve, the unmitigated gall, to suggest we could leave after she sees Taylor on Saturday.

I had to educate her on the fact that Big & Rich and Gretchen aren't on until Sunday and wild horses couldn't drag me away from there before I see my boy!

[SassyVal]

I hear that!!! I am so looking forward to Sunday... Tim McGraw is my man!!!

My best friend is coming with me for the 3 days and her birthday is Sunday, so we are celebrating her birthday... Its going to be a blast!!!

We will be senting our tent up on Thursday night... I wonder if it will be insane by then???

No way..
My daughter is 12...
daughter or son?
Because I have not stopped hearing about Taylor Swift...

[horsephotographer]

I think its great that your bringing your daughter... I was actually thinkin of bringing my 10 year old daughter, she would flip over this... Just not sure yet what to do... I mean its FREE for her...

There are all kinds of kids..
It would be fun for her I'm sure..
I'm just glad when mine starts whining I can take her home right around the corner...
My other is 25 I forgot how 12 is the new challenging your mom stage..:(
Yet a great bonding time for you....

I just wonder how well they will do at party time...
What happens at Stagecoach stays at stagcoach...
besides for me hard to work with lots of 12 year old questions....

[horsephotographer]

It's her first concert too. Like I said in another thread, I'm either way cool or really stupid. I'm not sure which.

Way cool....

[tgcali]

I'm about done with Taylor Swift. Seriously.

[horsephotographer]

I'm about done with Taylor Swift. Seriously.

Remember how fun it was to be that age...:)
Just enjoy it now..I can hardly get my 25 year to come home and visit...
She lives with all the movie star's and is still driving me crazy..
Yet you will miss them dearly.
:D I promise....

Rose i didn't get to go last year but I heard it was great. Brooks and Dunn were there,they did such a great job at stagecoach last year, I wanted to see them again. I think Alan jackson was there too, not sure though.

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

Yeah Alan was there, and he was great just like he always is live. I have seen him before and since last year stagecoach. he rocks the house when on stage!!

[cowboysRmyweakness]

Will there be Guinness? :p I am a So-Cal native born and raised, yet somehow I am a Stagecoach virgin. YAYY!! Southern California country fans all in one spot!! Loud n' proud!!
GO WHISKEY FALLS!! Load up those bases, boys!!

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

Are you stagecoach virgins nervous being it your first time and all? ;)

[SuzieQ]

Hello Stagecoach Fans!

My name is Sue from Hemet, CA and this is my first time going to the Stagecoach festival. I am really beyond excited!! I'll be camping with my friend, Pam ("Punkie") and about 4 other rigs in our group. We'll be arriving Thursday nite around 6:00 pm. in a 30' Ragen toy hauler (husband parking it for us!) We'll be flying a yellow & black DMC Club flag. Everyone sounds so friendly and fun on the message board, just had to join in! We'll definitely look up Kymery who seems to be the "Country Queen!" I am a big fan of music of all kinds--love to dance--and am looking forward to getting my country music fix next weekend. PS Don't forget to drink water between the beers, vodka, and tequilla!:)

[hodgee5]

Welcome Sue!! Where are you staying?

[Rose]

Suzie, welcome to SA. Have fun it's addicting.

[SuzieQ]

Thanks for the welcome--We're staying in the party campground, ElDorado 1, woohoo! Hodgee, you sound like a real character!

[Kymery]
