It's that time of year once again!

I didn't put this in the upcoming events page because it's not a Full Moon event. Even though we do get a few buses there for a really good time!

I had site #250, I think you had either 248 or 246. They're even-numbered on that side of the driveway.

For those who haven't been there, these sites are skinny are real deep (long.) Once the festival starts on Friday morning, camping real estate is a free-for-all. These particular spots are between the stage areas but are closest to the main stage. They also back up to active train tracks. If you're guessing this is NOT QUIET camping, you're guessing correctly. They have no loud music after midnight however trains and random drummers did not get the memo regarding quiet hours.

We can save room for a lot of busses if we know you're coming. We set up ropes/hammocks/tarps/tents, whatever if we're saving something for you.

I hope to brew another batch of IPA for that weekend.

This is such a fun time. ~ See you there ~ Jeff

We had a great time last year! We're hoping to camp with y'all again this year. We probably won't be able to head up until friday, hopefully early afternoon. it seemed like there was plenty of room in those sites last year. If a few more buses were planning on coming we may need to reserve another site... How much was the thursday night reservation? Hope to see you guys before then, but we'll see you there for sure~

Dang that's the same weekend as Merelefest. Sol Driven Train is a great band. Heard them in Brevard a couple of times.

Mountain Xpress is the main stage sponsor and they promised I'd get a pair of tickets if I hang & return the banners. Schweet!

So are you all paying the extra $25 to camp in the Festival area? Or are the sites where you camp included in the ticket price?

Apparently they have hired some judges to make that determination. Would be fun to win without a "costume" though...

I notice that the prize in the costume contest is four tickets to the first ever FALL FBRF. I hope I'm free whatever weekend that falls on.

I've got a couple of costumes.. Might have to go all out to win that that 4-pack.
