Does anyone know if they do a livestream? i doubt they do and I really don't know why they don't start. Phish has it down pat and MMJ would def get $$ from it.

They probably don't do a livestream because everyone who goes gets download codes to DL all of the MMJ sets played at OBH. 

Just my guess.
Cuz it's been so long since someone shattered me.

I doubt they'll do a stream, but I wouldn't say that is the reason why. Phish gives away a free download code to all ticketed attendees (it's the bar code number on the ticket) for every single show they play. I just think phish has a larger crowd of people willing to buy the streams when they do it, making the logistics of it all worth the effort and more profitable.

Maybe a bit selfish, but I like knowing these OBH shows are available only to the folks who attend the event. Makes it that much more special. And we're all paying some serious $$$ for the specialness.  :beer:

MMJ invests in a recording board for the OBH sets that allows eventual downloads, but a broadcast truck would be way out of budget (phish has invested millions).  Live streams only occur when venue has built in transmission and/or a third party producer sponsors a stream (red rocks 15 for example)

What's in here won't disappear

They do make the shows available on livedownloads as well.  After coming back from OBH2 I made a beeline to my computer to download the OBH1 shows.

Well, this thread went off topic, so I'll get it back on track. Make sure you bring tubes/floaties. We had them last year, and it was perfect for the pool.

Your own XL tumbler for your favorite beverage as well....

Co-sign on the insulated tumbler. The resort uses 10-12oz plastic cups, and in 85-degree weather those drinks get warm quick. And the servers will happily fill your larger insulated tumbler. We didn't bring anything last time and regretted it. This might be our biggest upgrade from OBH2!

Hydro Flasks are the way to go.

From checking expressobeans.com for OBH1 and 2, it looks like there is only one poster for the entire weekend. Is this correct or is there 1 per night?
