philly folk fest???

I have a lot of friends on the camping commitee. Some of them camp at Funk Junction. Ever hear of it?

 

I probably saw Funk Junctio if they were there last year, but I dont remember, damn short term memory. But Itll be great to see peopl e this year. Hopefull Ill get a pic of me up so that I may be recognizable at the fest.

 

I'm quite happy it looks like you'll be able to go to the Philly Folk Festival My home in the the States is not too far from the festival site. But I can't go this year for obvious reasons. Well, there's next year.

 

yeah duck... defiantly get a picture up... i wanna meet up with you during the fest.

 

It's right behind where I camp at.

 

That's so cool And the world gets a little smaller
Have a great time by the way.

 

Yes, I am going! I am so excited! Domino's said it was okay for me to go! I will be in Pa on Thursday! Yay Trish! Thanks so much for the ticket. I luv ya girl!

 

Ok heres a few pics of me, see if you can spot me at Castle Crazy at folk fest.
Im a photographer so I think i photograph awful, but at least youll be able to find me.

 

Yeah, my friend dave Brown camps at that site.....

 

Your kidding, right? Dave is a really good friend of mine. He has spent Many a night on my couch. Wow! that is really weird. I never expected Brown's name to be mentioned. Even though he seems to be kind of famous at Fest. Do you know Shipley, TJ, Nicole, etc...? Are you by any chance a musician?

 

I think Dave Brown was in the campsite right next to us this past year. I know I played drums with him in our campsite. I didnt know it was called funk junction, dont remember the sign. Our campsite this past year was called the grotto. We had a halloween night.

 

so this has been my question for a while- i want to go down saturday and sunday. i couldnt get friday off of work as well... can you get a one night camp pass? i only see three days and camping or all day passes... basically from 12midnight saturday to 11am sunday i have nowhere to be.

whats the deal? do i have to just get all three days and miss out on friday?

help a confused little gal!

 

You dont photograph bad, duck. i know i do.

anyways, i have a couple questions.... they say no drums and no alcohol. if i wanted to bring like a 6 pack for me to drink... will they search me? and do people still play drums there?

also...

i know you dont park by your campsite... how long of a walk will it be with all my stuff. im bringing a lot of it- like tent, chairs, grill, etc.

 

I brought a 30 pack last year, thing is they wont let it through the gate, they dont care once its in there just put anything you want to bring in a bag. This year Im jsut going to bring a bottle of the good stuff, quart of rum, quart of tequila. Once you get locked into a serious drug collection like mine the tendency is too push it as far as it will go. haha.

Yes they allow percussion too same deal, i think they jsut had too many people who dont play respectfully or well playing at all hours so they put that on the list.

And yea its bit of a hike but not too much, and they will let you park close to unload i belive.

 

okay... so as long as i put it in a bag, it'll be cool?

what about how long the walk is with all our stuff? i heard there's a shuttle but only for stuff????

 

Yea I heard about the shuttle, but never used it, I volunteer so on wed they let you temporarily park at the gate to unload then park in the far area.

 

Okay well if anyone else can answer this for me, I'd greatly apprieciatte it.

 

I just checked out the website for the Folk Fest and it seems like they are going to be really strict. If I go this will be my first year. I was just wondering, from anyone that has been to this before, are they strict with all those rules that are on the website. It even says that your not allowed to smoke ciggerets in the concert area unless your in a "designated smoking area during main stage acts ONLY." I went to Bonnaroo this year and I know that this is nothing compared to that but everything was so laid back there. So what does everyone think of all the rules?

 

i think the rules SUCK but apparently they are not enforced... or so im told. this will be my first year too.

 

Yea, hopefully they won't be strict about the rulls. I'm just a little worried because compared to Bonnaroo this is a very small festival so I don't know if they will crack down on drugs and things like that. At Bonnaroo there was no way of stopping 90,000 people from doing what they want to do. Anyone thats been there before: Are cops allowed there or is it private property (like Bonnaroo)?
