We're so happy and grateful to announce that we will be having our 5th outdoor music and camping get together this summer! The "Grateful Garicia Gathering" will be returning back to the beautiful "NCN-North Campground" on July 29th thru August 1st 2005, in beautiful Black River Falls Wisconsin. This mellow gathering will be the same weekend of Jerry Garcia's Birthday, plus it marks the 10th Annivesary of Jerrys untimely passing. This is going to be a very deeply humble, and special time for camping and gathering with friends of old and new! The 3G's will be a mix of wonderful Jams by some of the best JamBands in the Midwest to rock your soul. The Grateful Garcia Gathering just wouldn't be complete without a musical cohort and personal friend of Jerry's to be part of the festivities. Melvin Seals, the longtime vocalist and organist of the "Jerry Garcia Band" and JGB, will headline for *TWO JAM'N NIGHTS* on July 29th & 30th. Melvin Seals remained with the "Jerry Garcia Band" longer than any other keyboardist. He was with the band from 1977 until the untimely passing of Jerry in 1995. Bringing the Festival to a new level this year will be our Host Frank "Jerry" Chavez. So don't miss the bus this summer! We're also very happy and proud to announce that we will be donating $1.00 per ticket sold to support and help kids from all walks of life and religions at beautiful "Camp Gray" in Reedsburg, Wisconsin! Please visit their wonderful web site to learn more about the fun times to be had at beautiful Camp Gray!

now im gonna try to make that one...

 

O M G..I wish it wasn't so far from me! I'm sure you'll have an amazing time.

 

I had plans to go last year but work ended up ruining that one for me...bummer but i have already requested off for it this year!! YAH....

but anyways Cosmic Railroad is playing this year its gonna be rad...if you havn't heard of them they are a pretty rad local jam band out of Kenosha, WI.....they are some totally chill guys!...so i hope everyone makes it out there in celebration for Jerry!!!...

P.Toker- i hope to see yah there...and bonnaroo too!

 

We should all remember to party for jerry on his birthday

 

sorry double post.

 

I'll be there!!!!!!!!!! I started a thread about this but didnt see this one soo sorry... I will be there and it will be fun! Im so excited its Jerrys birthday... and mine.... HE HE... I share a birthday with him YAY. It will prove to be a great weekend!

And to the person in tennessee its only a 12 hour drive... I drove to bonnaroo last year... well I guess 12 hours is pretty far anyway

 

I am there for sure!!! I got an extra ticket also, and i dont really feel like driving so id probably trade it for a ride or something. I am in South Central Wi, i know it is not that far to drive but dont own my own vehicle so borrowing might be sketch, hence the trade idea. But no worries, things tend to work out if they need too. Peace out

 

gotta put in a plug for Fat Maw Rooney there, they are a great Wisconsin band and looks like they got a good slot at GGG too. So far I am not sure if I'll be at this fest but maybe. would really like to be anyway. we miss you, Jerry.

 

wait, what is the date of jerry garcias birthday?

 

August 1st 1942

 

I had such a great time. The JGB and Melvin seals were wonderful. All the bands did great I especially enjoyed Fat Maw Rooney and Cosmic Railroad. They were awesome.
I cant wait till next year

 

Cosmic Railroad really threw it down
