They did one (in secret) a few years ago if anyone was there early enough to catch it, and it was amazing!!

Here's a link to it..

Of course it will be bigger this year since they put the word out early, but I'll take whatever they're throwin at me!

They've also added a few more bands like the Recipe and Greyspoke..

Hey I wanted to say a late Congrats!! I'm not on here much so I just saw your good news! How exciting!

A few friends have some good names for their boys, so I can't use them, and I wanted to throw them out there for ya!

River

Liam (short for William)

Silas (means 'of the forest')

Cole

Elias

Amy and Mark, do I need to do some arm twistin on you too??

I would LOVE to see you both!!!

If you can guaruntee that you'll be blasting Lionel all night long again than that should seal the deal.

Done and done.. I've made a special Gratefulfest mix cd.. It consists of All Night Long 14 times followed by Superfreak once.. Should that do it?

My arm is there for the twistin'

I'm the one in the Princess Leia getup, and you are the one getting her arm twisted..

I will soon be posting pictures of that beautiful place, and the memories will be flooding back to ya.. Hopefully that will help!!

Hope it was rockin!

It's never too early to get excited about this magical festival!

From Rob Eaton on DSO Forums:

"OK So I guess now that Rothbury as announced that they will NOT be having their event this year on the 4th weekend we can all expect Grateful Fest to be bigger then ever. An yes we are having Grateful Fest on the 4th weekend........."

And yes, I believe it will be crazy busy. Not what I want to hear, but Baj and I will never miss one!

Anyone else thinking about making it this year?

Happy Birthday!!!

I hope to see you in the near future, beautiful!

So it's been a long time in the making (as some of you Canadian/American couples know), but Baj is now an official US green card holder!!! Yay! :laugh:

After a year of hard work and lots of paperwork, we had an interview and Baj was finally granted Permanent Residence! We are so excited and he can even get citizenship in 3 years and be a dual citizen.. I just wanted to spread the good news and congratulate my hubby! Yay Baj!

So I'm bumping this thread up because it's getting close!

Who's all in at this point? Baj and I are getting there the 27th for some pre-circus relaxing and enjoying so come find us in Wonderland!

Can't wait to see y'all!!

Happy Birthday my love!!!

Papas and Beer here we come!

Got the Knoxville show tix this morning - 2 for 2 for me this tour - that never happens!

Anyone else from here going to those two shows - Hopefully Captain Sunshine gets her tix to the NC show!

Baj and I will see ya in Knoxville! No Asheville tickets yet, but keeping positive that something lucky will happen in the next 5 months!

Baj and I live in Asheville and will be hitting up the 2 nights of Yonder (and playing it by ear for Umphrey's)..

I can give you lots of info on Asheville, so email me with any questions!

If you're walking towards the stage from last year's site, it's up about halfway to the stage on the right. It was a pretty heady spot set back in the trees by itself a bit.. But who knows what spot we'll get, and there really isn't a bad one in my opinion!

We even partied last summer with the fake fake Bobby, remember Simon from Aspen via Kentucky.

Haha! There will be lots of fake fake Bobby action again this year! It's in July so it's gonna be hot!...

Yay!!!

What a great feeling!

Nice setlist!

Above the Waves encore?! I'm loving it...

We'll be seeing them next Friday in Knoxville!
