totally fine with no bands / a handful of bands / prf unplugged. totally fine with the usual amount of bands if it means more money for the camp. pretty dang stoked either way...

What would trying to cajole two DREAM bands to play and that's it look like? Like Dianogah and Scrawl. And then that's the music. One on Friday, one on Saturday, campfire shit, bong rips in the woods, all that shit.

My kids and I will be there regardless of whether there are bands.I only caught 2 full sets last year (Mars Hill and First Responders) plus a couple of songs from PT Ori and Wowza. Oh! Also the Petrillo bonfire set which my kids still talk about.On the other hand, if the rest of you aren't watching bands, there will be more people doing archery, and less time that my kids can be doing archery, so I say book bands. During archery.

can't wait to see everyone there. on my birthday and everything.

Imagine a few different stations, or areas, where there might be a drum set or some percussion, amps, guitars, keys, whatever, and people can float around and jam with each other. For instance, I've never had an opportunity to play music with, like, Liz, and I've quite literally thought about that for years. This might be a logistic nightmare, or better left to another time/place/event, but just thinking outloud. Of course bands are fine, but have you tried 'shrooms? Those are also super fine.I love the idea of pickup bands, and the opportunity to capture the output. My schedule is not mine to make at the moment, but if that changes, I'd love to be there again, and participate, observe, fix stuff, or whatever.

Sincerely want to create a band that just does this.You two + myself need to start our Oneida band. Ike - drums, Jeff - bass/keys, me - guitar/keys. First show is the campout.In terms of DRUM CIRCLES, I think we should do some BOREDOMS-level shit to start off the weekend. Get fuckin' drums in a kayak or canoe, just go fuckin' ham.
