Grateful Dead

@Althea: I'm interested in volunteering at this festival, I have tried twice now to email info@mountainairefestival.com and have even tried calling once, to no avail. (rhyme not intended but that's sweet how that worked out.) I have scoured both furthur's and the venue's websites and came out empty-handed. Anyone with information pertaining to volunteer opportunities, please help, information is demanded (okay that one I actually had to think about)! much gratitude.

the first rhyme was email/avail to clarify, how it looked before I posted it made more sense. Yea i'm a dork.

Got my ticket...I'm soooo excited!! Has anyone been to Angels Camp before? What are some non-essentials I would probably need to bring but probably wouldn't think of? I haven't been camping out in years...I NEED HELP!

I would recommend bringing a mini flashlight that fits in your pocket, for sure. Also, a roll of toilet paper is handy when there is none left. Breakfast granola bars for a quick snack. Pepto-Bismol tablets, just in case. Flip-flops for the shower. Sunblock for the day, lots of warm clothes for at night. Chocolate candy. I usually make a long check list ahead of time, and use that when I pack the car.

Dang I didn't see anything like that at Rothbury. That sure would have beat what we were staying in! "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

I've never seen anything like that at any West Coast fest, but I have to admit it's been awhile. I think they would be insanely popular.

The last time, 1987, we went to Mountain Aire, it was parking lot camping. Mostly dirt, some pavement, a few trees. Park your car, set your tent next to it and away we go.The google maps street view of Angels Camp at 101 Frogtown Road is probably from about four years ago, and it still seems pretty wide open( NO SHADE) and the last couple of years have been scorchers in Angels Camp on May 28 (98,56), 29(98,55), 30(97,56) so take that as you will. As To the other facilities on site, I have no clue as the last time we only saw the show and then went out to see the sunrise and came back for the next show and then drove back to Santa Cruz. As to something to bring that you might not think you need Bring some head gear , with a wide brim. The Sky Was Yellow And The Sun Was Blue People Stopping Strangers Just To Shake Their Hand.

I can tell you from past festivals...it is really hot during the day and chilly at night. I do remember chewing dirt a couple of times from the parking lot as well. It is rather small place, meaning it's all in one area, and it should be easy to find long lost friends. In fact, I'm planning on seeing all my long lost family members at this show! The best suggestion I can say to those coming from a long way out of town is this....after the weekend, Memorial Day weekend is over, and since the crowds will be down, it's the absolute perfect time to go and see the best place in the whole entire world.....YOSEMITE. It's only a little adventure away, and a place you don't want to miss. Who knows maybe we'll see you on top of El Capitan on Wednesday ;-) _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

New Furthur Festival website up with lots of juicy information. Can't wait for this one, baby!

Oh man... check out the new site. One album one set!! 3 sets per night. This is truly going to be the shit. Terrapin Flyer here I come. This will be the first time for me or my fellow heads, where I can see the set list for both nights. Might I add 3 sets a night. I would never like to see a set list before a show, but what the hell its 2010 and I still get to see my HEROS play again . I cant wait!!! Mary I hope to see you there... California, a prophet on the burning shore California, I'll be knocking on the golden door Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine

That's not even fair! I wish I would have never looked at the furthurfest site :-) That's unbelievable what they are doing that weekend. Wow wow wow "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

There's 1 road in & out of the place (windy & narrow).....try & carpool & of course recycle everything you can :)))

maaaaaaaan!!.....c'mon Lotto!!...hit me big, baby!! I wanna make this one

I hear ya man I'm drooling all over this one!!! I had just got myself ok with missing furthurfest (barely) then this morning I read about the one album per set plan.. now I'm just freaking out "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

Announced at Hidden Track.com and jamband.com On Saturday, Phil and Bobby’s band will tackle American Beauty as Set 1, Workingman’s Dead as Set 2 and Anthem of the Sun as Set 3. On Sunday, Furthur will rock Blues For Allah as Set 1, Axomoxoa as Set 2 and Terrapin Station as Set 3. Plus Phil, Bobby, and probably the others Furthurites will be joining in the jamming with the other festival acts. And A Good Time Was Had By ALL The Sky Was Yellow And The Sun Was Blue People Stopping Strangers Just To Shake Their Hand.

Get all the good stuff!! ;-) Sorry, had to get that in...like JackstrawfromCo, I'm almost wishing I'd never checked this out!

Drool drool - guess I'll have to settle for plain old Furthur at Rochester, Ottawa and Buffalo... I'd trade 'em all for Angels' camp, lucky westerners!

My no Furthur shows this summer for plain old Furthur at Rochester, Ottawa and Buffalo! Lucky easterners and westerners! "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

For any of you going to Angels Camp & camping, there's RV hookups @ the Sonora County fairgrounds. It's a nice place & not too far from Angels Camp. Looks like from Furthur's website, you'd need a car to bring into Mt.Aire. (commute if you can-it's more green) If anyone knows how to post this on philzone, please do so.....have fun

Previously I posted that for the last three years the temperatures at Angels Camp for the May 28 - 31 period were around 98 for the high and 56 for the low.The current weather pattern has lower temps for this Festival Weekend Friday is currently forecast for 85 high and 42 low As it is still two weeks away this forecast is mostly based on historical data and the current trend. Keep updated by checking your favorite weather site for the Weather for Angels Camp, CA - zipcode 95222 See you in the sunshine with your colors bright and smile brighter The Sky Was Yellow And The Sun Was Blue People Stopping Strangers Just To Shake Their Hand.

this year, it's not out of the question that it'll rain, either, so wise words re keeping updated. And being prepared too!

Seems to be the theme EVERYWHERE this spring!!! BTW ... I am so jealous .. I want to be at FF!!! "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

does anyone know if the camp sites are given out by car or by person. I will be driving up to the show and our car will have 3 or 4 of us in it. Will we be given 1 camp site for all of us in the car or will each person with a ticket recieve a site or will we atleast recieve a bigger site that will fit all of our tents???

Almost positive that you get one camping spot per vehicle, it very un-green but I guess if you want more camping space you got to bring multiple vehicles.

yeah I think your right.....and yeah it's not very green. I don't want to drive 2 cars, but we will have to if thats the case. 1 camp site wont fit all of us and our 3 tents I'm sure???

Now about Camping/Parking spaces this is a county fairgrounds. Some paved, mostly dirt No lined spots They will park you or most likely we'll park ourselves and leave what room we need around the vehicles at least that's what happened in '87. Peace 11 The Sky Was Yellow And The Sun Was Blue People Stopping Strangers Just To Shake Their Hand.

For the heads who were lucky enough to be there in 99 and or 87 I was just wondering if you remembered there being any lawn or non dirt/pavement camping. Like most of you I was planning on arriving as early as possible but if it is just dirt and pavement camping does it really matter? Also I know they say no open flames but what if you bring an electric hot plate that plugs into your car? Love to see that people are road trippin across the country for this...getting so excited!

Gr8tfulBrad where did you buy an eletric hot plate that plugs into your car ? I have been looking everywhere for one. Would love to bring one of those to the show.

my weather report reads about 10 degrees cooler for the low. Our elevation here in Sonoma County is 164 feet, and the low has been about 44 to 47 degrees. Angels Camp elevation is 1,484 feet. When I check the weather report for Angels Camp, I get the weather for Sacramento, (closer to sea level) which is what your report reads like, scott1129. I check the weather for Laytonville, because that is at a higher elevation (Rattlesnake summit is at 1,700 feet), and I think that might be more accurate. I plan on dressing for winter nights at this event. Just hope it don't rain...

morning smiles to everyone.....I used to post here years ago.......thought it would be the place to search for a kind person to give my sister and I a ride to the Festcoming from San Fran area will pay for all gas/tolls/munchies etc...-or instead, will buy your ticket! thanks so much weather looks great! does anyone know if you can still camp Sunday night at the fest? or what time you must be out? thanks so much !

Thats great man.....I'm going on those links right now. Thanks Gr8tfulBrad...now I can have a morning cup of java . Have a great show(s)

seems to me those would be very useful products in many situations (e.g. for the disaster kit here in Earthquake Country), so I appreciate the tip.
