DevO Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Keep your eye out for the Flying Chestnut/spatula food booth with Laura and Sean. Great food! Great people!Eating Sean's food is one of the many highlights of Hillside for me every year! I haven't been to the Flying Chestnut yet.. But Aasmabik's in PTBO back in the day was thee best.

canadianphan Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm in with the family. I'm working on the main stage with the lighting crew, but that won't stop us from getting to many of the great side stage shows. I'm hoping to re-energize my vibes after missing Bluesfest this year.

zero Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Folks 'round here will really like One Hundred Dollars- Simone the vocalist has a real Janis thing without being too derivative and strong lyrics. The band is super tight particularly the album proudcer/ lap steel player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianphan Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I was on site yesterday. Apparently you can swim off the island, but not from the main beach (which people were doing anyway). Have a great weekend.See ya'll there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Bummer about the no campfire rule. I love drinking by the fire after a fine day of music.Oh well, I guess we will be drinking around the lantern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm not sure what they mean by the Guelph Lake Pit area, but I am hoping and planning to swim off of the island. The main beach is actually located a fair distance from the island. It often gets closed mid-summer because of contamination. I can remember at least one previous Hillside where the main beach was closed but where testing indicated it was safe to swim off the island. Looking forward to taking in some sweet live music, eating some tasty food, and running into some skanks over the course of the weekend! Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm assuming the main beach area is the big beach that overflow campers walk by just before entering the festival - it's a giant beach, so just assuming there isn't a bigger one. Found a map - Campers Beach on this image: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Looks like a great fest! Not too big, not too small. Have fun everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark tonin Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 From what I know, the main beach is located just south of the map you posted. Camper's beach is a different beach. Here is a link to another map that shows the main beach location. Guelph Lake map In any event, it's hot and I wanna swim!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 · Open fire restrictionsThe following conservation areas are under an Open Fire Restriction due to the extremely dry conditions:· Conestogo Lake· Guelph Lake· Rockwood· Elora Gorge· Brant· Laurel Creek· Byng Island*Cooking fires are permitted on campsites from noon to midnight only. After midnight, all fires must be completely extinguished. Not sure what they mean by cooking fires- but I'm hoping they mean raging bonfire with lots of guitars.
