I JUST GOT MY TICKETS AND MARY E PASSES!!!
I know most of you dont care but hey! I gotta tell you anyways!
Doin fine in 09!
Pea’s from Indiana
Does anyone ever come to the Bill Monroe Bluegrass festival here in Bean Blossom?
Great tip, Courtness… As we all know, THE GREAT DUKTAPE KAPER thread is very important. It is a good warning for all festivarians to keep those coolers locked!
:eek
Is anyone else out there travelling light ? We’re coming from the UK and will have miniumum gear so will we be put in a corner as “Inadequately Equipped” for others to laugh at ?
:wave
I dont think any of us have it in our hearts too let you be put in a corner for others entertainment. That is unless we are all participating in some crazy drinking game or something of the like.
I think you might have just started something???
Actually, I think you will find that everyone will be more than helpful to make sure you are adequately equipped… In fact, if you let us know what you can’t travel with- there will be offers of extras and loaners to make sure you are equipped perfectly.
I would agree with Debbie.
Just let people know what you cant bring and Im sure everyone will chip in.
Its a great way to meet new friends!
Maybe we should start a new thread and call it “HOOK UPS”
So that people can make such arrangements for rides, food, gear or too just see that person you met last year.
Just a thought?
But I will have room for extra gear if you need anything just ask.
I have about 2-3 of everything you could possibly need for a decent camp.
You have to buy your own duct tape though!
:wave That’s a great idea, but once fessssstiiiivaaaaal starts rollin, do we really watch the time… I did miss out on meeting too many of you last year, that’s for sure…
last year a pre fest schedual was posted on the forum. I thought great everyone from the forum in one spot, great! (I saw no name tags from LuAnna) looked but everyone was havin fun and forgot about time…
I did get to hook up with a few new friends and was so glad to see you are really real and not just words on a screen. :flower
Life is fun, maybe we should make a game of it… Hummm… Hookup Hootnanny :lol
The person to meet the most new friends and captures the most name tags wins. :flower Just kidding…
That forum meeting thing sounds awesome, I’d attend for sure
I play on a Morel mushroom forum pretty regularly and we try every year to schedule hunts with people we meet through the forum.
Nothing is better than putting a face with a name.
Also, bring lots of Tye Dye, it is extremely important
There is a daily forum meeting in the festival grounds and a group photo op on Thursday… Watch the forum for the 2009 social schedule that will come out in late may or early june.
:peace
But how do I know what I really really need ? Its so tough being a Virgin.
:lol
We have 4 days after our arrival in Denver so I’m sure the nearest Target can provide us with most “essential” things.
2008 was my first festival, and I did have the luxury of my older brother who had been to several already, packing wasn’t ever a concern for me, He told me what to bring and I did
MARK 2010
Since you are coming across the big pond what exactly do you plan on bringing?
Are you camping?
Let us know so we can help you. :wave
I always have time to help out a virgin (he he he he ) :lol
Thanks, can’t wait for that schedule to come out, It would be nice to meet some of the people I’ve conversed with
Another way to get up to speed is on the very first page of the forum, slide to the bottom of the page. There’s a little section about Forum Stats - last post etc. Click on more stats and you will see a list of the top threads.
That would be a good start.
LOL. I did that for fun… The top threads with replies are “talk about food” and the “bacon thread.”
OH I cant wait to put a face to debbiefromtuscon… 
Uh-oh, Did I offend?
Entirely the opposite, you sound like a great gal. For us over the pond “debbiefromtuscon” conjours up images of Calamity Jane, saloons and leather chaps.
:flower
:wave Oh Mark ---- how funny.
You have no idea how close you are yet; Oh, so far away from the mark :lol :lol :lol
I’m sure Debbie has already forgiven me for that remark :evil
Back to our regularly scheduled madness
:peace
