Magnetized Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Why is Canada in the "Rest of the world" category? Or should I just assume that I'm in the Northeast US? Unless....have we finally just fused with you guys!? What, you haven't heard about The Great Fusion? Oh wait, I've said too much. . . . Well, until it's officially announced, I went ahead and gave Canada its own category--I just added Asia to Australia and New Zealand. (No, you don't want me as your Trivial Pursuit teammate in Geography.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Four of us (myself included) are staying at some B&B in Williamstown. (I forget the name as I did not make the reservation.) I do not know where my Indiana friends are staying.

Magnetized Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Since I started this poll, I thought I'd mention that I'm coming from Norfolk, Virginia. I'll be rooming with someone I met on this board who lives in Ohio (she's already responded to the poll) and we'll be staying at the Willows Motel in Williamstown. We're flying in to Boston early Friday morning, renting a car for the weekend and returning to Boston early Monday morning. In case it's not already wildly apparent, I am WAY excited about this--less than 3 weeks away! We're up to 38 responses now, which probably translates to 60-70 actual people. Anybody got any bright ideas about how VCers can be on the lookout for each other? I know some of you know each other already, so maybe this will all happen naturally. But most of us don't know each other in real life, so I was thinking we could come up with some VC identity "badge" that we could print out and wear. Is that too corny? Or barf-worthy? Or maybe a decent idea?? (Yes, I'm having fun with emoticons today--looking for an opportunity to use this one. Thoughts, anybody? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Name tag stickers with board names always seem to work. Simple too, you just need a sharpie and a package of stickers. Maybe some sort of meeting place as well on Saturday by some exhibit?

Totally agree I am a LT Board member of BTX the Springsteen Fan website and have in organized pre show parties and it is simple get a mtg area ours is a Irish Pub in Boston or CT or RI and use sharpies and have cold beer at reasonable prices Great Gathering/Conversation/ Merriment ensues...

You sound like you know what you're doin'! The only modification, it seems to me, would be that for this festival we'd want to stay on the grounds of Mass MoCA for the meetup. So far as I know, none of us knows the town of North Adams and we don't know when it will be safe to leave the actual grounds without running the risk of missing something cool. But what about trying to get together at around 7:00 Friday night (the schedule says stuff starts at 8:00)? I'll throw together something in a separate thread, as roadhse ma suggests, but please everyone, FEEL FREE to modify. I am not a party planner at heart, but what I lack in skillz I will try to compensate for with determination! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigshoulders Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks that. any chance you'll get on stage?Slim to none. Funny thing is, I've been close enough to both Tweedy and Farrar during shows, and have seen looks from both of them that leads me to believe they think the same thing. Strange feeling.

double A-ron Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Be sure to carry your harmonica along just in case. Never know when someone will request "Jodel."I got a "Keymonica" you can always use. Its on my keychain ready for any jam session. I am practicing She's a Jar right now. I was thinking of starting a micro band with finger instruments and stuff. That would have been an awesome display at the festival right next to bread and puppet, cover all of wilco's songs, that would be some undertaking though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cracked & hooked Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 My husband and I will be driving up Route 7 from western Connecticut. A ride to MASS Moca has always been one of my favorite daytrips. It's unreal that Wilco will be waiting for me this time. We're staying at the Holiday Inn. Also - I have one extra ticket - it's listed in the ticket selling section. Make me an offer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
