Jay's Gone
I am sad to hear of the departure of Jay Lane as I have not had the chance to hear Furthuer Yet. I did read rhat there will be no new Drummer added from Phil himself on a thread on the phil zone. Wish I could make Mountain Aire 2010. I was at the 1987 event when Carlos played Both nights with the Dead. I was in the front right in front of Santana." Never had such a good tome in my life before". It's a great spot!!I will catch Further in Vermont on my birthday. First Dead related birthday show in almost 30 years on the bus.
See y'all there!
discrimination against people with disabilities?
the news that no RV's will be allowed in camping will make it impossible for me to attend. it has been a long time since i was able to tent camp. what's up with this? barbara halajian a.k.a.rahima
Oh Man
"Man" you are so right. It stinks to get older..So many reasons I cant go at this time. They are sounding so damn good. Like always it may happen the morning of if availability =)
Oh well, Gone are the days we stop to decide
where we should go...we just ride.
What timezone is the Ticketmaster sales?
I saw that the ticketmaster tickets go on sale at 10:00am on 3/26. What time zone is that? The time just says 10:00am on furthurs website.I would assume PST but I would like clarification.
This is gonna be sic!

jay
will apparently be leaving furthur for a new job with primus. phil says (on thread at philzone) that he and bobby "are of one mind" that they will continue onward with only russo. i think this is a good choice. jay will be missed from the band to be sure, but anyone who saw that second set at the birthday with russo solo on the kit knows, this guy can handle the job, alone, and then some. he plays with ferocity and finesse in perfect equal measure, and he is so talented that he already seems like he's been playing these dead tunes for years. russo is great.
my first immediate thought was what a bummer to be losing the classic GD four hand mania in the rhythim section. then i thought about it some more, and listened to that second set from the birthday again, and i realized the truest, most classic GD - going back to '67 - was a single drummer operation. billy k moored that band to the planet in their first years, before the appearance of mickey. and then subsequently during the mickey "hiatus." he and they were simply amazing in that format. furthur with only russo could be even closer to the "roots" of this whole, blessed thing.
god be with you jay as you move on, and stay tuned for the new streamlined one-drummer furthur - russo has the fire power to do this, and bobby and phil being "of one mind" on the issue speaks volumes. YAH !!!

Primus Sux!
Dude, Primus is not a friggin bad gig....that band is absolutely amazing and innovative. Les Claypool totally hast the Dead Family vibe (even with the difference in style of music) as proven by the countless appearances with many of the family's bands.
I'm really stoked to hear that Primus is coming back again anyway!!! Gotta love those Bay Area blue collared tweakers!

Vehicle question for Further Fest
We have a Ford EconoLine 350, a camper conversion that is 18 feet long. We're wondering if our vehicle will be turned away from the festival. It's a camper rather than an RV. Anyone have a proper email address of phone number where I can inquire about this? Thank you!
Contact Email For Furthur
Jimmy Row
Good question....I too am searching for the contact email/phone regarding questions about vending/camping/volunteering/etc. and it seems that the email they give under the Vending Questions email: info@mountainairefestival.com is not a valid email address.
Any ideas?
I tried sending a not to furthurmorefriday@furthur.net but have not had a response yet.

canyon critter
Thanks for your response, canyon critter...yeah, I also sent an email to the info@mountainairefestival.com address, and it failed. I'm going to try contacting an RV spot located next to the festival site and see if they have any information on how the folks handle such situations when a festival rolls into town. If I have any information from them, I'll let you know.
Do you know of a "contact us" email address from the Furthur site?

no children over the age of 2, (without tix??)
I am so very happy to have the boys back, I am just trying to figure out if I am a the only one who is a little bit salty about the fact that we have to buy tickets for any child over 2, I understand for a big kid /teenager ,but under 10-12 should be discounted.
Kids under 2
I was trying to find the link on the age for children. I went ahead & just bought my 5 year olds. $250.00 for both us.Ouch.But I like hanging with the best 'Family' in the world. iI also want my daughter to feel & learn the culture of GDF.
This is going to be a wang dang doodle!

So yeah California/Forest Fires They are Scared!
If you click the link I posted before you can read the FAQ, but for now:
Are camp stoves and campfires allowed?
No open flame will be allowed anywhere on site. We will take this very seriously.

BOOZE ??
Thanks Canyon Critter.....I have seen the FAQ and I understand the open flame rule I guess,but I don't understand the rules regarding bringing booze onto the camp site. They have ar vague !! Can we bring our own booze to camp with??? No one expects us buy 12 dollar beers for 3 days do they?? That would be very UN-DEAD-LIKE to make this festival all about MONEY !!!!
Open Flame
Does that mean no campstoves...or just no campfires or BBQ's? As far as alcohol sold on site...we have to be able to BYOB, right?
Case of beer from Bevmo=$
Case of beer from vendor=$$$$$
"Emancipate yourself from mental slavery...none but ourselves can free our minds"
beer !!!
We have been wondering exactly the same thing "playdead" I guess we can connect an electric stove to our car lighter or lets be honest....I can live on PBJ sandwiches all weekend but the beer is a serious issue and it would be really unkind if they made us spend a crap load of cash just to have a good time.......
Beer and Stoves
Acutally I totallly underderstand the no open flame thing....I mean some of my best friends are from home (california) and fight forest fires. Obviously, it's a severe danger. They will be selling food there, but darn it what if I want a grilled cheese? I wonder if they mean you can use any camp stove....I'm assuming open flame means any flame, but they should clarify this.
As far as beer....I'm thinking unless you bring a busload of ice and Sierra Nevada, I'm sure, in fact almost positive you can BYOB....I mean how am I gonna make enough money to survive on the summer tour??? no grilled cheeses and no kind brewskies? lol
Honestly, I ain't gonna pay $14.50 for a lame veggie burrito, just because I'm hungry. Also, I wonder what the rule is on leaving the campsite to visit friends and family outside of the venue? I know of some places that won't allow you to leave.
Come on Boyz...we love you but us grilled cheese eatin, trash and litter pickin' uppin', freakin hippies need to know every detail...please be more specific Furthur!

grilled cheese and beer...grilled cheese and beer.....
Yes.....I am with you Canyon Critter. I am so ready for this festival.The shows I saw in Frisco on new years and the one in Portland this month were off the hook and the boyz were amazing. This one is going to take the cake, but I have never been to any type of dead festival + camping before and I just want to make sure that before I drive up from Long Beach that I know what I am walking into regarding certain things....thanks to the feedback from you and "playdead" I feel better that I am not alone with my questions.....very cool!! Please post whatever you find out and I will see you in May......I will be the guy driving the truck full of ice and Sierra Nevada ha ha lol Come over say hello and have a beer....."Strangers stopping strangers just to shake their hands." PEACE
Red Rocks? ? ? ? ?
The Furthur summer tour is only from 6/25 to 7/11 and all on the east coast (except for memorial day MT Aire Fest). It gets hot and sticky in the east during the summer!
How about shinin that headlight through the cool Coloradah Rain . . . w/ a big fat run at RED ROCKS!
Oh yeah, and lets have one of those Red Rocks shows be a matinee! That'd be hummdinger!
