Mountain Jam 2011 - Roll Call

[The DARK]

Great to see some new news! Hopefully these dates lead to bigger stuff on the horizon...

Don't miss Toubab Krewe! You will NOT be disappointed...

I'm not super into the headliners, but the undercard is pretty decent...I've been meaning to see Orgone forever, hope this means they'll be on the festival circuit this year.

I finally saw Orgone at Bear Creek this year and found them to be totally enjoyable so long as the woman in the band was not singing.  :-X

I've heard nothing but good things about Mountain Jam, but that's all been from Warren Haynes fanatics.  That said, I'm all over this one. =) 

If you're going, you might want to try to get a cabin.  I had some friends go last year and they had to park and then carry all of they're stuff from the car to the camp site -- up hill or over the hill or some such.  :)

I've got no problem whatsoever with some tent camping but figured, if a bunch of you could share a closet-sized apt. in NYC for a week, maybe sharing a rental at Hunter Mtn. would be worth looking into.  How about a 7200 sq. ft. estate that sleeps 40?

Seriously, there are other options with reasonable rates.

I fully second that!!! I saw them in GA once and in Pitt a couple times, and they deliver some real talent. The few times I've seen 'em, they've ended with the most insane percussion solos/duos/trios that left me to be mopped off the floor after it was over. And some of their instruments. They ain't ones I've ever seen. Really unique string instruments...just unruly

I love quoting myself!

So, no takers on the estate rental? 

I did find a condo rental on-site that sleeps 6-7 that would be $1050 for three nights (Friday night through Monday morning).  That's $50 per person per night.  The place is ours, but I'd like to have some commitments before I send any $$$.  PM or email me if interested.

I think right now it would be myself and headhunter, and possibly a couple of his buds.  Anyone else want in?  We've got room for 3 to 5 more!

A 3-day pass (Friday to Sunday) with camping is $172.50 (plus fees, I imagine).  Without camping, its $142.50, or $30 less.  So, if you go for 3 days and camp on site, total cost is $172.50 plus fees.

Joining us in the condo for three nights would run $292.50 plus ticket fees.  So, an extra $120 gets you a bed, bathroom, shower, full kitchen, and weather protection.  Might be worth the $40 extra per day, especially if there's any rain. 

Just let me know, the sooner the better.

Hey JY~
thanks for doing all of this legwork!

We will definitely be going to this, but can't commit to anything just yet! I have a huge  (all day) presentation to do on Monday the 6th, so we will definitely be heading out after the show Sunday night.  Totally not sure yet when we are coming up yet either, but will  keep y'all posted!

Awesome

Oh my... I love this as a T5 reunion as I can't get back east in Feb. and as Karl will be here in LA in Feb  :)

I lived in Hunter NY for 3 months in 05 working on a movie and feel like an expert in the area if anyone has questions lol. Tannersville is another awesome little town next to Hunter.

This will be a fun kick off to Festi Season!

Johnny I would be down for a Hunter rental.

[headhunter]

count me in for the hunter mt. rental

i'll also bring a blender, drinks and a few other goodies to make us all happy for the long wkend.   

who else wants in?

[woodnymph]

Aw Jen, wish ya could make it back over! Would love to see ya again! Way cool you get to see Karl though! I didn't know you lived in Hunter before! It's soooo lovely there... In Tannersville, there's a spot called the Grateful Bed *snicker* and it's a vacation rental house-type thing I think. I just saw it driving past and looked it up online, but there didn't seem to be a whole lot of info. on it... but awesome areas for sure!!

And Johnny, much props for looking all that up indeed! I'm definitely too up in the air to throw down on anything right now... Hot damn, if tix are cheaper to not camp there, that is way helpful! I forget if anyone described what 'camping' is like at the fest.... I can't imagine it's like bonnaroo or allgood, but I'll have to read back and double-check... but def. good to know there's other options!

I sent Johnny a pm. I was originally thinking of only coming up Sunday if they make day passes available, but this deal looks too good to pass up. Now I'm definitely leaning towards doing the whole fest.  ;D

It's starting to feel like the months long wait for the T5 shows all over again. Hopefully this will make Winter go by faster. ;)

That's a good one, Ruckus! But he's not going to be happy you outed him.

So, Jen, am I to take this that you're interested in the condo?  Coast to coast?  What movie was it, btw?

Looks like a little roll call is forming!

you ?

I'll definitely be going to the festival. The condo rental idea is definitely tempting too. How close are they to the actual festival? Are they on the mountain? I didn't look into it too much. I wasn't able to meet up with anyone at the T5 shows but would possibly be willing to join in on the festivities at Mntn Jam.

I need to start planning for all my summer events now lol.

I'll have to check in tonight.  Can't access personal email from work, but I can noodle on the forum to my heart's content.

The place I mention above is a 650 sq. ft., 2 bedroom condo, typical of ski resorts, that looks to be right at the entrance to Mountain Jam.  I'll have to look at your email, but this is definitely not a cabin.  Check the link above to see what it is.

There are other places in the area that hold more people and would be a bit less per person, but some are a few miles from the fest.  There's a woman with a farmhouse 7 miles from the site of Mountain fest who is eager to rent.  It sleeps 12 and she's asking $1500 for Fri. to Mon. (3 nights).  That's about $42 per person per night, but who wants to drive 7 miles after a day of live music?

ynwa and I have started to chat about this...  :D
