Cool, thanks for the heads up - thats a double edged sword there - I want rain, but I dont want rain.

Well, good thing they've got electric sites.

i live twenty five minutes from Cave City, but i'm gonna be honest guys, there is no way i can ask off of work a week after Bonnaroo. Plus money's so tight that i am getting ready to do the humiliating "moving back in with my parents" thing. But if it would be cool with you all, i would love, if nothing else, to come up there one night and meet you guys.

come!  even if it's for one night!

Word. John Conaway?

Nice, they like Pearl Jam and they cover"Just One Thing"  they are friends of mine.

Awesome!  :D

Hey guys,

My brother Ben and I are going to be playing Saturday night.  I just wanted to say thanks for inviting us and we're really looking forward to it!  There's a link to our website already on this string, but here it is again:

www.myspace.com/mybrotherbenjamin

We'll see you all there!

i just received a phone call here at work from our county judge executive. barren county now has a ban on ALL open fires until further notice. hopefully, we'll get some rain soon and the ban will be lifted, but... i wanted to let you all know so you could plan accordingly. i know it may put a damper on the weekend; however, we wouldn't want to risk any damage to the environment here.

rats.  sounds like it's a dry year everywhere.  good to know in advance.  thanks, meg!

note to self:  don't bring that Box of Letters™ to burn at OBH.  or the hot dog skewers.  hmm.

more packing questions:

i have a pretty large french press coffee pot.  if there are other joe drinkers, i'll bring it, otherwise i'll bring the cup-top single filter.

lemme know.

and:  called the site:  when i mentioned the fire ban the man on the other end said that if there was a small campfire burning, they wouldn't care.  so, for cooking, if you need one, you can have one.

of note:  they have restrooms and a shower cabin.

So, here are some things we still need:

-TENNESSE FIREworks!  Roman candles and sparkles are my favorites.  anyone coming through tennesse
-Cornhole board with beanbags.  i'm still trying to find one
-a shitton of peeps. if your local dollar store has them, get them i'll pay you back.  i'm having a hard time finding them.  i knew i should have stocked up at easter!


this is going to be great even if there is a fire ban!

[aMD]

and t-shirts!!! We need t-sirts people!  anyone willing to help design and/or create t-shirts?

i found a place that you can order peeps online so I ordered 120 of the little bastards.  if you find any you can still pick up some more.  the more peeps the merrier!

How did I miss this?

Big candles and lots of lanterns if needed.

do tiki torches count as an open fire?  probably.  :-/

i'd hate to cancel the firewalk and bonfire, but we'll make do if necessary.

Well we could have a little fire...

that's true. a fire pit doesn't really have flames.  is there anyone down to firewalk?  everyone looks at me funny when i tell them that it is fun, but it REALLY is!

I would hurt myself. Trust me.

The only thing that sucks is I am the only person on planet earth that doesn't own a camera...I hope everyone else does!

Will most definitely drink coffee, which I will bring to share. Thanks for bringing the press, Yvon.

Since the fires are a no/maybe - party lights would be a big plus - or a shitload of christmas lights


Anyone have a disco ball that could be hung off a tree?



I know theres a few of us that got electric sites

That's a splendid idea. I will bring lights and a disco ball (it's a small one but still effective).
