kidsmoke Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Could everybody who will be in attendance at SSF5 please give a quick holler? Some of you I already know, but do me a favor and announce yourself anyway. I can't wait to see everybody!!! Sometimes it hits me that as good as the music, the art, the locale and the food and drink can be, still, my very absolute favorite part of the SSF experience is gathering together in one happy spot with a ton of wonderful friends, and meeting a ton of wonderful new friends. With every SSF, the experience grows exponentially.Sing out if you're coming! Please don't be shy, even if you're new! I'll start....KIDSMOKE (Donna) will be there with light-up shoes and beef jerky enough to share! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hi Donna, I will be there! (Susan) ...and I'm bringing my friends We will definitely check in and look forward to seeing you this weekend! Charge up those dancing shoes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vu1992 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 My wife and I will be there. Can't wait to meet you all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I will be there (Tom) and I am bringing my friends as well - 14 of them, I think. All but three are Solid Sound first-timers. They (and we) are in for a treat. Also bringing one of my children (all four have been to at least one SS). School ends on Wednesday, so the timing is perfect for my daughter and me. Thankfully, mother nature was kind, giving us only 6 snow days (a seventh would have impacted our Thursday departure from the great state of Maine, an eighth would have been unthinkable - First World problems, I know). I love getting into the region the day before the festival begins. So overjoyed at the prospect of SS5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 We (Gary and Sharon) are detouring from our "tour of Japan" and we'll be going where our wheels roll right to Solid Sound. Haven't missed one yet, not about to start now! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Diane here, all packed and ready to go. I can barely contain my excitement! For those of you who bought the "We're all in this together...." t-shirts, remember that there will be a group photo on Saturday morning at 10:30 under the WILCO sign in the grassy area. We tried to schedule this at a time when no other activities were going on, so I hope to meet many of you face to face there. There will also be a big banner with a bubble theme for any VC or Facebook members to sign. We know the banner will be at the photo shoot but I'm not sure where else you will find it during the festival. Just be on the lookout for it and add your name. We plan to give it to the band at the end of the weekend. Onward to North Adams! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saluqi Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Leaving the desert heat for cool green western Mass, this will be our fifth SS and our son's first, can't wait! Hope to meet some of you on Saturday! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theashtraysays Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 No lights in my shoes, but I'll be there. Quite possibly with signage. Vince Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shawnsolo73 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 My wife and I are coming up from Raleigh on Friday morning. Flying into Boston and then driving the three (?) hours! Can't wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait.If you are going straight from Boston to North Adams, you will drive down Route 2, the Mohawk Trail - a lovely road once you get into central Massachusetts.

Sun Caught Fire Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Here I come again... and nice my wife, son and I can drive to this one. Have to miss Dead and Company in NYC Saturday but SSF is always a must and nothing better than Being There.... S + Y + DJ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

surprisetruck Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Heading to Boston from Texas Thursday, where we'll hang around long enough to see Evan Dando and Jason Loewenstein at Once in Somerville before heading west. It will be the third Solid Sound for my sister and I and needless to say we can wait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alone in the Zone Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi - my friend Dave and I will be going for our third time. Last time, we covered our trip and wrote it up (links below). Not covering this time - just fun. It would be cool to meet some of you in person. Is there a meet up or some indicator of VC membership? http://www.chunkyglasses.com/content/patrick-and-dave-go-to-solid-sound-2015-an-oral-history-transcribed-from-imaginary-basement-tapes-part-1 http://www.chunkyglasses.com/content/patrick-and-dave-go-to-solid-sound-2015-an-oral-history-transcribed-from-imaginary-basement-tapes-part-2-of-3 http://www.chunkyglasses.com/content/patrick-and-dave-go-to-solid-sound-2015-an-oral-history-transcribed-from-imaginary-basement-tapes-part-3-of-3 Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
u2roolz Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Kristofor I'll be making my 4th Solid Sound. I was also at the 2012 benefit show. I need to skip out on Sunday's performances to travel across the state to make it for U2 @ Gillette Stadium on Sunday evening. I'm counting my blessings that I have Monday & Tuesday off to recover. I'm looking forward to the Route 2 drive and running into some familiar faces. I will also be at the Thompson's Point show in Maine next month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kidsmoke Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hey all, it would be great if you can include your real-life names as well. And everyone is invited to look for me, brunette with glasses, bright red backpack with a big Fuck Trump button....if you find me and introduce yourself, I will feed you homemade beef jerky and spiced nuts. Deal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Heart full of holes Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 bright red backpack with a big Fuck Trump button....That and the light up shoes - you will be unmistakable, Donna! This will be my 5th and my daughter's 4th SSF. Can't wait to see you all! Beth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejokeexplained Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 You already know Allison and myself will be there for our first year of wilco world SS grad school. Freshman through Senor 2015 were a blast in the Wilco higher learning campus of MasMoca. Can't wait to see you all again. But it's sad to think this time next week we will all be in anticipation of hopefully the next one in 2019. But no one is guaranteed tomorrow. You never know when it will be the last.

I'm a big Dando fan so this should be well worth the exhaustion of driving to Williamstown after the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
