Have any oof you stayed @ the Benbow Inn? It truly is a special place.
It is said to be haunted much like the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.
My wife & I stayed there for a long weekend about 5-8 years ago. There was no big event or Halloween, just rest with the Redwoods.
We heard the story about the haunting. There is one room where lots of things are said to happen, I can't remember which room it was but we didn''t get it. We stayed in a Petite Suite like those advertised by the band.
After a comfortable stay it was time for us to drive home to SF,
We packed our things & on the table by the bed I kept my phone charger. Except now I could not find it.
After a frustrating & exhausting search we could not find it.
We started carrying our stuff out & across the room, on the floor by the door. was my boots, When I picked them up I found the charger in the toe of one of them.
I do not know if it was the staff playing a trick or a poltergeist.
That ad still looks bogus to me. Nothing on the DNB site and al they are selling are packages for $750 to $1,000 for a band who's fans complain if the ticket costs $50........does not compute.
It's legit. It's a benefit event for Help's On The Way. They promote, among other things, bluegrass being taught to children. And the Benbow Inn is a special place snuggled into the NorCal redwoods. Should be an excellent weekend.
I know the place and thought this was the same guy that booked gigs at the Mateel but also had a failed attempt at a DNB NYE show a few years ago back.
well, here's the thing....they are playing Le Vin in Mendo at the end of the month. So there are those shows. Go, it's RAD and you can camp right there.
The Benbow tix come with a room. Yeah it's not super "cheap" but actually not that bad. Say the tix are $50 x 2 is $100 of the price. Depending on the room, there are some "cheaper" ones, if you break it down and do the math, no that bad. Hotels are not cheap. Where else are you gong to stay? That being said, I'm sure there will be people with extras. I'm sure its not that easy to promote and put on the show all the while telling the hotel you will book it....
