Yeah, it's a holiday. If you're careful with the route, it might not be too bad. But don't do something like try to drive through Boston and NYC...
you'll never make it to the show.
Oops, just looked this up on google maps... you'd be taking I-295 and I-95 the entire way... fuck that. But it looks like you could take 95 to New
Hampshire and switch over to some other interstates (91, 87, 84). That route might be doable... maybe some of the guys here from the northeast can
offer some advice.

I haven't seen the schedule posted. Last year, it was 3 days (Fri-Sun). I think Friday night had some bigger names (I think Far From Finished might
have headlined, but I might just be making that up). Saturday night had the headliners. Sunday was mostly the regional bands... probably because
most people leave early on Sunday night.
So, my guess would be Indecent Exposure and 4 Skins on Saturday night... but maybe Craig could clarify if he's still reading.

Craig,
Are you doing two stages again this year, or are you trying to keep it to one stage and short sets (15-20 minutes) for openers? Seems like you'd have
to do two stages with this many bands.
Not that my opinion matters much, but... if you're doing two stages, could you make make it one stage for the headliners? It would suck pretty bad
to have 4 Skins and, say, Oxblood or Wretched Ones playing sets at the same time on different stages. Two stages is fine for smaller bands, but sucks
with the bigger ones. But I do appreciate that you give a lot of smaller bands the chance to play at the fests and get some exposure.

thanks for your concern....
We initially wanted to just do one stage...but it blew up once again, and I couldn't say NO to alot fo bands that wanted to play.
The second stage will shut down at 8Pm both nights so that everyone can see what's going on ..on the main stage...
The sets will overlap by 10 or 15 minutes on each stage....leaving a bit of time to cath at least SOME of the bands that will be on opposite stages.
Doors are at 2pm each day.....

Nice to see S.S.S.P. added to the lineup. I wish I wasn't so fucking broke. It would an awesome show to travel to.

Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

Barnesey,
Gary is a No Bullshit kind of guy. You may have picked up on that by now...There are MANY surpises to come with the fest....Whatever it is that we
are doing, we really don't want OR need to get that out there.....The line-ups are posted...and that's what we are going to release..
Those who are going ...are going to experience something that has NEVER been done in the US...He is the sole spokesman for the band at the moment
(with the exception of his manager) and if he don't let it out....nobody is going to.
We WILL tell you this....The 4-Skins will be recording an EXCLUSIVE LIVE CD at the fest.......that will be readily available the VERY NEXT DAY at the
fest.(Thanks to the miracle of modern technology) This is historical. If you wanna be a part of it, you may want to go. If not, the place is gonna
be packed like sardines anyway.
When I get back from Berlin, I will lay on you a COMPLETE report of how that show went. But I WILL tell you this....You miss it...and you will not
ever get the chance again.
All the best to you. Craig

Is the CD going to available after the festival or is this strictly a festival thing?
