Rothbury 2009

[slurpee]

All of my friends are going up on Thursday. I am only purchasing a Saturday/Sunday ticket.

Since 4th of July is on a Saturday, everyone has off from work on Friday. I am going to sell ice cream in my ice cream truck all day Friday (yes, I am an ice cream man). Once I am done selling ice cream. I am going to drive throughout the night to Rothbury. Arrive before 8:00 am and wait for them to let us in.

[jdaws]

bring me some ice cream plz

[slurpee]

Last night I purchased 2 Sat/Sunday tickets for $160 cash each. Online it was about $175 with surcharges/taxes. So not a bad deal...

My buddy just found 2 weekend tickets for $200 each. That is a much better deal.

[TeamCoachellaHellYeah]

So friend...

What are your 4th of July plans which will be better than going to a music festival with an indoor/outdoor water park?

I think a lot of people are going to drive to Rothbury on Saturday for the 2 day tickets.


The venue for the festival is awesome. One of the coolest places I have ever gone to an event.

Rothbury 2009 a success!!

http://www.freep.com/article/2009070...907060354/1039

Any worries about a sophomore slump seemed to be misplaced for the eclectic Rothbury music festival, a four-day stew of tunes, camping and outdoors partying held on the Double JJ Ranch in the tiny town of Rothbury, about 30 miles north of Muskegon.

The event featured a diverse mix more than 70 acts, with a heavy emphasis on rootsy performers like Bob Dylan, the Dead, Willie Nelson and the String Cheese Incident, but dipping into music across the spectrum, from hip-hopper Nas to electronic artist Girl Talk. Fans and artists alike gave the fest swimming reviews, citing the pleasant weather, the crowd's laid-back vibe and the beauty of the grounds, particularly Sherwood Forest, a woodsy enclave where festival-goers could go to relax -- or soak up an ethereal evening light display.

Exact crowd counts were not available Sunday evening, but organizers said more than 35,000 people attended, slightly besting 2008.

The State Police reported 72 festival-related arrests through Sunday morning, the bulk involving drug sales. That was an increase from last year, but First Lt. David Roesler of the Michigan State Police attributed the jump to enforcement lessons learned, along with a greater emphasis on cracking down on sales.

Through late Sunday afternoon there was no major trouble with the crowds, which he described as "not unruly" and "well-behaved from that perspective."

hope it did well enough to come back again next year

[slurpee]

Got home a few hours ago.....drove from Rothbury lot to Chicago in 3 hours.

Of course Rothbury ruled.......anyone who doubted it....well you simply missed out on one hell of a party.

Now that the hippy bands have all been booked......maybe now we can get some more interesting artists to play......radiohead???


Notable acts of the weekend: Shpongle DJ Set and EOTO.

I had never heard of EOTO. It was really fucking cool. Live band playing dubstep and other interesting music. The drummer is AWESOME, it must be REALLY hard to keep up a dubby beat like that....he was getting it real hard. Live female vocalist came out for a few tracks....not sure about her name? They played from 2:30 am till 5 am at the "outside rave area". Place was PACKED with people getting down until everyone was kicked out.



PS.....After playing a 4 hour set....The Dead played an encore during the 4th of July fireworks @ midnight

Do you have any pictures you can post and put captions with them?

[samnco]

I can at some point. Like i said i literally got in, showered and went to work.. I can tell you my fav part tho. We were rolling and roaming around right before the dead and we lost our neighbors.. SO my friend and i went into the crowd, as far front as we could get and i look to my left and see this HUGE guy.. I asked him if I could get on his shoulders to look for my lost friends, dude totally let me.. I was WAY above everyone as he was turning me around slowly to try and find them... then the dead came out, everyone went nuts screaming and i was on top of the world.. it was AMAZING!

I dont have a cord to plug in my camera but at some point i will go get them on a disc and put them on the comp so ya'll can take a look... it was awesome!

[slurpee]

Hopefully I can get some pictures from friends soon...I didn't have my camera.
