phishin4mango Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hey all! In case you get this email and this is the first time you've heard, we're having a music festival here at Kimbercote FArm this weekend, called MusiChaos! There are 10 bands playing from noon to 2am (and possibly beyond) on Saturday and you're welcome to come! Admission is a suggested donation of $10 - includes music and camping. There will also be workshops happening. Read more for important details. Directions to Kimbercote are on our website www.kimbercote.org The first thing i need to communicate is that this music festival is being organized by a bunch of volunteers who have generously donated their entire reason for being for the last couple of weeks to this project. Second is that this festival is part of a 3 week event here at Kimbercote Farm called Chaos in August (see website for more info-plz read Community Norms). This is a community of individuals and groups that are interested and active in social and environmental movements. We'd like MusiChaos to be reflective of the positive atmosphere we're fostering here, including respect for the land, ourselves and each other. We hope you can make it!!! PLAYLIST Here is the set list (finally!!!) for the Music Festival. SATURDAY AFTERNOON, EVENING & NIGHT 12-1230 - Kimberfolk 1230-130 - Open Stage - find Katie if you want to play a song or 2... 130-230 - Vigilant Resistance 250-350 - Shelby & Elmo 410-510 - Uncle Seth 530-630 - Super Jam - an open collaboration of musicians 630-700 - Scott Stiles 710-900 - Fathers of Procrastination 920-1040 - Mike Filipowitsch 1055-1245 - Paul Aitken Band 100-200am - Neill Brown 200-whenever - Freetekno (i haven't been able to access my Kimbercote email for 2 days now, so i'm not sure if they can make it or not - FREETEKNO: PLEASE EMAIL ME AT CANADASUN33@HOTMAIL.COM) This schecule is really tight, so we need musicians to stick to the time slot they are given. VOLUNTEERS We are still in need of volunteers, so if you're interested, find Lisa when you get here and sign up to help out as: -vibe watcher -gate keeper -first aider -dish washer -security -sound techie (find Katie) ACCOMMODATION Don't forget to bring a tent!!! If you are a musician and you haven't received my email requesting details (# of people in band, # of beds needed, food allergies, etc), then bring a tent. The farmhouse is pretty much full and if you haven't responded to my email, then I haven't reserved beds for you. I haven't been able to access my Kimbercote email for 2 days now, so if you sent the email after Tuesday morning, I didn't get it. Sorry...technical difficulties out of my control... FOOD In terms of food, we are having a KimberKitchen (very similar to a KindKitchen that is set up at other festivals). If you want to participate in this communal cooking/eating/cleaning experience, please BRING 2 BAGS OF FRESH PRODUCE (FRUIT & VEGGIES) TO CONTRIBUTE AND THEN HELP OUT WITH DISHES. If you're not into this, please feel free to bring your own food to prepare...NOTE: there are NO kitchen facilities available for personal use. GLASS Please DO NOT BRING GLASS BOTTLES to the festival. We are offering 110 acres of barefoot-friendly land to play on and we would like to keep it that way. Thank you to all of you for being a part of this festival and helping to make it happen. See you this weekend! Katie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Musicface Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Cool! Good to see the schedule posted, should be a GREAT day! Burtman acoustic is always a blast. Hey, so do we know yet who's in on the "Super Jam"? Obviously the Uncle Seth folks will be set-up beforehand, so we'd be thrilled to participate in this, and possibly share some of our gear if needed... anyone in the know on this?!? Peace, Mr. M.

Mary if you read this, call the farm...there is a slot now for CONTACT so can you get a ride up with them? If not I will come back to T.O. and get you tommorow, call the farm at 1 888 862-3588 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hey hey, the Uncle Seth gang have all found their way through the darkness and will be at Kimcote! We've got on small issue, lack of a bass amp. We were hoping to rent one but music stores generally aren't open now and likely won't be before we have to leave. Can any of the acts help us out? Peace, Mr. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music was wonderful, and I can't express how great it felt to be back up in that area. It was great to see the Uncle Seth crew, and of course Willy and LeeAnn's smiling faces!

Mr. Musicface Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 'twas a great time indeed! Nice to meet \/\/illy and tigger, and to see Sunshine, scottieking (who, BTW, friggin' rocks the house, err, barn!!), burtman and so many other great folks! BTW, if anyone happened to pick up the little green cooler bag that had my beer, I'd love to get it back at some point. - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 The music was great! Scottie's spontaneous jam was amazing! Burtman completely impressed me with both his ability on the acoustic and his stage presence. The thing that really blew me away was the Paul Aitken Band. You Londoners are spoiled getting to watch music of that calibre all the time. They were awesome! I really enjoyed myself at the 'fire on the hill' with the lot of you afterwards. So many great people, great conversations, and GREAT laugh sessions. Love and peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottieking Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 Hey cats, Just rollin home now. What a spectacular time! Great to hang out with everybody. I have some awesome pics if y'all want to email me scottieking at hotmail. Triple yay to Katie, Jay and everyone for hosting a great little gathering. Some random memories: - first and foremost, great sets by all musicians - the hill (it was ALL worth it once you got to the top) - graeco-roman wrestling to slow jazz - the unforunate glow-stick explosion good solid fun. see you soon.

\/\/illy Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I have to admit that the glow stick explosion was the funniest thing I have ever seen. You guys are a bunch of cards and should be dealt with! For those who don't know: Scottie and some other dude decided that it would be a good idea to try and get a glow stick open. Apparently, they aren't that easy to open. So after watching them struggle with it and a swiss army knife for a couple of minutes, most of us turned our attention back to the fire. All of a sudden we hear them scream, "Oh shit!" When we turned around the two of them were speckled head to toe with glow in the dark liquid. I almost wet myself it was so funny. They had it all over their faces and and all over their clothes. I tell you, it was one of the absolute highlights of my life. Thanks guys!

\/\/illy Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Here's one more... Katie (resident of Kimbercote & organizer) with kitten! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Musicface Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Nice! Man, I so wanted to take home that kitten that Sunshine was holding... but I think my two monster cats (14 and 21 pounds, respectively) would probably have literally had him for lunch! Thanks for the shots \/\/illy! - M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 oh my god Scottieking!!! I almost forgot about "graeco-roman wrestling to slow jazz" that was pant wetting hilarious! oh man...good times...good times.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
