Jacketfest 09

[aMillionDreams]

I've had a lot of people already say they hope there is a Jacketfest this year, so let's see what we can get together.

The first Jacketfest was a small gathering in Cave City, Kentucky in July of 07. Although we were a small group and mother nature treated us to a drought-breaking downpour we had a hell of a time. We had a couple bands, a lot of games, we talked and played music, and lifelong friends were made. We also had people from as far as California and New York.

I'd love to do something like this again.  Last year we talked about renting a place out.   I'd really like to do it at someone's residence or land, but it was nice having a bathhouse and electricity in the middle of the woods without running a generator.  

Anyway, who's interested?  What ideas do you all have for the what-have-you?

I'm into it.  Let's have it someplace near a place where I can get some hot chicken afterwards. (Prince's in Nashville for example)

I'm interested. I know a few peeps that dont hang out here that are interested too. I am always looking to meet good people and it seems like you all got that going on here. I'm pretty easy to please. Camping, sitting around the fire, talking, drinking, canoeing, hiking, music (of course) are all the fixin's for a successful get together for me. I dont have land or space to provide (well depending on how many will show up,) but I would be more than ok with throwing down for a campsite or the rental of a campground. If someone else wants to provide a space for us, I will be happy to contribute whatever I can for our weekend.  ;)

That looks delicious, please tell me more about Prince's.

[TEO]

IN!!! Please keep it in KY though to lend a sense of authenticity.  Cave City WAS a pretty nice little venue... :)

[weeniebeenie]

You should all just come to Oz and have Jacketfest here. ;)

I'm probably in dpeending on timing.  I have to see when we will do it and where.  As long as I'm not on my way to the other side, I'll go.

I'm in - I was bummed not to have made it the first time.

[Penny Lane]

sounds fun.

WHAT is that thing? it looks like beef on toast?

[ALady]

I miss hot chicken   :-/   Penny, as a YLT fan, you should know about this!   ;)

I'm into it as long as it doesn't conflict with the summer festies.  Sounds like fun!

[vespachick]

I've never had hot chicken but I heard a thing on NPR about the phenom a couple years ago and have been dreaming of visiting Tennessee ever since.  I have a very very high tolerance for heat.  I'm a hot lover.  And by that I mean I love to eat hot things.  Um, never mind. :-/

Sorry about hijacking this thread aMD, but seriously, this would be a great two-fer!!! :o

awesome. i'd love to go to australia one day, so why not now?
:)

[crazylove]

I'm in with Teo.  And I don't have hot chicken from Prince's but I would bring homemade chicken and noodles for everyone.  
Dylan, I would like a place with bathrooms(flushing toilets preferably) and electricity would be nice.
Be kind to us old people. ;)

I'M IN!

well, i WANT to be in.  just depends on the date and all.

i liked the cave city spot meg found for the last fest.  the only downside was not having a lot to do around the campground during the day (hiking, for instance).

the more of us there are, the more we guarantee no creepy drifter dudes in the camp area.

cave city was terrific too because it was close to louisville.

like crazylove, i am also a fan of the flushing toilets and running water.

perhaps we can find a small state or national park camp area.  the reason i suggest small is so that there are fewer non-fest campers.  i just wouldn't want to impinge on someone's weekend of solitude and nature with our rambunctious goings-on and clambake-age.

i will make a trip to AAA to pick up a Kentucky travel guide to start looking for possible camp/private locations.

YEAH, DYLAN!  [smiley=beer.gif]

time to start working on my peep-tossing and corn-hole skillz.
