Mountain Jam 2011 - Roll Call

[Dodobird]

Hey All,

I have been going to this Festival for years. It is a great local festival for people in the Tri-State area. Beautiful setting and always a good line-up. My first Mt Jam was 2005 when MMJ played. I have been to all but two since and for the past 2 years I have rented a condo just off the Mt. next to the campgrounds of the festi. I get a camping pass even though I am not camping so I can cut through the camping area and enjoy that scene but then retreat back to my house to relax with some food, drinks and a shower. You can actually here all the acts from the deck of the condo so if you don't feel like walking over yet you can just chill on the deck. In my opinion it is a perfect set up for a festi. I will most likely have the same crew of people coming back to stay with me this year but may have a few spots open at the condo. So if you are interested let me know (PM). I will be renting it 3 nights (fri, sat and sun). 700 a night. Hoping to get at least 10 in the house. Can sleep 10 easily and there is a loft that could sleep about 4 more. So it would come out to about $70 per night depending on how many peeps are in.

Anyway, we can talk more about it at the reunion in a couple weeks.

Cheers!

Good idea. Quite a few people going to the reunion want to hit up Mountain Jam, too. I'm excited for this festival...it seems very chill and that area is beautiful. Add a little MMJ and the forum folks and it'll be perfect.

Just bought a weekend pass and I can now happily say I have tix to an upcoming MMJ show.

Last year  I hit 8 and hope I get the chance to equal that number this year!   :D

Always a good feeling.  Funny, I hit 8 last year as well, if you include YY at NFF.  I'll have my pass by the time we see each other.  That 'bama fest is looking interesting, too, but can't swing more shows until after my school year ends, which will be another day or two later in June, with all these damn snow days!

[headhunter]

sounds like a plan.  hope this one will work for you guys (even if it's just the mmj day show)

3-day pass purchased.  Condo rental agreement signed and deposit sent.  Looks like I'm going to Mountain Jam, meeting some forum peeps, and have my first confirmed live MMJ show of 2011!  Now, I just have to wait...

Cool bro! Are you in the Lift Side condos? The one I have been renting is just off the camp grounds area. Looking forward to it!

Definitely cool!  And I won't be alone.  Am I right that we can discuss this further a week from tomorrow at Trish and Bob's?  Look forward to it.

Hey Johnny, not that I would imagine doing something so dastardly, but you might think twice about putting your ticket's bar code on the interwebs, if that is yours.

I used Paint to erase 4 or 5 bars from the bar code.  I was gonna put VOID across it but didn't wan't to take away from the image.  That should suffice, I would think.

I do not look like Jane Curtin!

Well, my wife just brought up the idea of going to B'roo for our anniversary.  I've never been, but I'm not sure how I feel about a) the insane heat and b) the crowded nature of that festival.

This festival sounds much much more appealing to me.  The problem is, my wife teaches and I'm not sure when their last day is.  Part of me is thinking it is that Friday?!   :(

I still think coming up for the weekend would be worth it as I see the Avetts are playing on Saturday.  And it would be great to finally meet up with all of you forum peeps.  I will just have to research a little more into our sleeping accomodations as I don't want to buy the full festival pass with camping if we aren't going to be there for the whole festival.

Hopefully we can make this work!

I am pretty sure I am out for this. I have a huge all day continuing medical education presentation to do on Monday morning for like doctor/psychologist types.  They pay $$ for this conference so I need to be in top form. I can't take a chance of being stuck at hunter or getting no sleep ya know.
Bob is free to go but he us saying he doesn't want to go without me....we shall see if that changes  :'( :'(
For now, hangout is all that's on the books for us, hopefully solo shows will be announced!

I was afraid you were going to make the grown up decision.  :'(

I guess I've got a better shot at a setlist, now.  Trish is aggressive.  ;)

Here's a pic from after the Vermont show.  Who know she had so many pies?

[tdb810]

Haha JY!  I may send one of my lackeys to snag the list :)
It's a totally tough call, but I gotta have my shit together for this one. 
You guys are gonna have a blast!!!!! We will miss ya.
