"Hippie Fests"..ect.

[scrappy]

Hey with spring and summer of '08 like 3-6 months(duho!)...I was just wondering if any of you heads attend an annual "hippie fest" in your general area, and if so do you plan to attend this year...The reason I ask is I attended one in my area a few yrs back, and have wanted to go back this year with friends...nothing like camping and listening to happy music passin' a jay with good people....can't wait for spring and summer this year!!!...There's a big 4th of July fest couple 100 miles away..I'm there, it's worth the long drive...peace..Happy '08

its 2000 miles away, but Ill be a high sierra this summer. the best fest in the US imo

It is a lovely idea, but here on the prairie, the drug task forces harvest a full crop at those events. This is dea, state, local, and fbi, all playing together. Reckon ya better stick to the major cities. I miss those days though..............

for all you midwesterners
Summer Camp Music Festival... http://www.summercampfestival.com/2008/

always a good time

anything going on east coast?? anywhere from NC to Fl?

 

[Haps]

Hey Vibes, I read the bust articles after the blues festival over there, is that the same thing? Mostly what I have read is the narcs busting folk from the city that come down and sell dope. I would warn folks here NOT to go to that town, or any festival in it. I may be wrong, but year after year the narco activity seems consistant.

The Moondance Jam.......

No personal pics from me as I go to party but here's a great jam.......
'08 will be Jam #17 & it gets better every year. Here's the link to our local rockfest, four daze & nights of R&R and camping. Live music 12 hours a day.
The bands have not been announced yet but have a look at previous years to get an idea of the quality lineup we usually have.
