Yeah i have an ex who lived in Jersey, and she is comparable to Wildwood. I used to love going there, but then I got older and wiser and realized how how much it sucked

Hey if anyone has a problem with Jersey they can just not come here and I'll enjoy a lot less traffic on the weekends and easy access to more cool stuff than any other state in the country. Where else could I live and have four Al shows in five months at four different venues all within 45 minutes of me? Now go pump your own gas :P

Um...no. It's one place I actually like in Jersey.

Should see it during the Motorcycle conventions. Nothing like 5-10,000 bikers showing up and getting drunk.

The Convention Center is a nice spot. Not a bad seat there.

I went to Wildwood once and actually enjoyed it. That's much more than I can say for many other places in Jersey.

But Jeremy you are a big fan of amusement parks so that helps. Personally I hate Wildwood for the same reason I used to love it: too many kids. If they were gone I'd be all over that

Go right after Labor Day. First week or two of September is prime time for it. Beautiful weather, amusements are still open, and most of the kids are back in school by that point. It's mostly people in their 20s and up.

Yeah, when I was there for Al's show it was early August. I didn't really notice any amusement parks, though, guess I could have researched that better. The most annoying thing to me was the stupid tram car and it's automated saying of "Watch The Tram Car Please".

On an off-topic note, though, I did really enjoy Rehoboth Beach's amusement park.

The entire boardwalk is essentially an 'amusement park', what with all the rides, games, arcades, etc. And the Tram Car is beautiful.

Al should play there again. I mean, it IS New Jersey. They do have a great convention center set up for concerts and events.

Wildwood is basically one gigantic amusement park.
