| __________________________________ [Jun 23,2011 5:20pm - ShadowSD ""] For those who were asking (AndrewBastard, Matt from Eerie, etc.), I finally heard back about whether camping overnight is permitted. They're not allowing it for this year's fest because they apparantely have some sort of rare Sunday event going on the next day, but for all future events at this venue where there isn't something booked the next day, camping overnight IS permitted at The Outdoor Pavilion. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 24,2011 11:35am - ShadowSD ""] But I should also mention that even though bands play from 6 - 12, we have the place until 2 am, so nobody has to drive home for a while. |

| __________________________________ [Jun 25,2011 7:33pm - ShadowSD ""] So I just heard from our drummer Casey who made the flyer that the skull belongs to Beethoven. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 26,2011 4:30pm - ShadowSD ""] I never realized someone kicked Beethoven in the skull, I wonder what's up with that lump... |

| _____________________________________________________ [Jun 27,2011 8:02am - Windham CT board of health ""] Is your drummer cooking the hot dogs again this year? Has he been properly fitted for a hairnet? |
| _________________________________ [Jun 27,2011 9:04am - Mark R ""] This looks like a cool show. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 27,2011 12:45pm - dyingmuse ""] Nice a flyer, I will begin pasting it everywhere |

| __________________________________ [Jun 29,2011 7:19pm - ShadowSD ""] In the past two years we've made it a tradition to smoke up the entire crowd with KB during our intermission, this year will be no exception. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 30,2011 10:57am - ShadowSD ""] The grill is huge and open to other meats as well if anyone wants to bring anything else, I heard yesterday a couple of people talking about bringing other stuff to throw on the grill. |
| __________________________________ [Jun 30,2011 9:40pm - ShadowSD ""] First band goes on at 6 pm sharp. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 1,2011 8:29pm - ShadowSD ""] Windham is only about twenty miles south of the MA border and twenty miles west of the RI border in the northeast corner of CT. |

I was wondering if I read that first post correctly... Quite a magnanimous gesture/selling point! |
| __________________________________ [Jul 2,2011 10:52am - ShadowSD ""] I always thought it made sense to have a show where getting the munchies and satisfying them was included. In the past two years towards the end of the night we've been on stage and taken care of the crowd for five or six minutes until everyone who partook was satisfied, then we launched right into our second set of darker, doomier songs. Earlier in the fest is also totally cool as well (just look for circles of people standing out by the grill between sets and join the circle) but things are slightly more discrete than later in the night only in the sense of people knowing to walk a few feet away if someone under eighteen is right next to them/basic common sense stuff. As far as the board that rents us the venue goes, they're French Canadian, so they're totally cool on the topic, as long as that's the only thing there. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 4,2011 5:56am - dyingmuse ""] Does that include me? Should be paying much in Cherokee with all wheel drive and 8 bangs of power/gas sucking? |

| __________________________________ [Jul 4,2011 10:01am - ShadowSD ""] I'll get you a drink dude, the girl at the bar I've known for years from playing this place (nice girl and top heavy too). |
| __________________________________ [Jul 4,2011 2:40pm - dyingmuse ""] Sweet dood \m/ Top heavy is always good. |

| __________________________________ [Jul 6,2011 11:03am - ShadowSD ""] Local weather forecast says it will be 68 degrees on Saturday night, why be stuck indoors? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 6,2011 2:57pm - ShadowSD ""] Show needs moar threads, apparently. |
| _________________________________ [Jul 7,2011 6:56pm - ShadowSD ""] So for those keeping score, that's two free drinks, free food, free smoke, and free parking. When does that ever happen? |
| _________________________________ [Jul 8,2011 2:47pm - ShadowSD ""] Bump for tomorrow night! |

| _________________________________ [Jul 9,2011 2:40pm - ShadowSD ""] This is TONIGHT! |
| __________________________________ [Jul 10,2011 9:54am - ShadowSD ""] Awesome show was awesome. Every band was VERY good, and the night was a fucking blast, the crowd while not being at previous triple digit metalfest levels completely made up for it in intensity, great and totally amped throughout our band's whole extended three sets as they kept asking over and over for one more song, singing every word of the impromptu Holy Wars cover at the end. Have I mentioned that I fucking love playing this place? |
