looked up some more information on this festival

Price $75 (online, advanced sales, 2 day pass)
$85 (day of, at gate)

doesn\'t look like they offer a 1 day pass. since the breakfast would be playing both nights this probably wont be an issue.

no camping is a bummer but i am sure there are close by sites available.

hmph. Someone not as lazy as I should shoot them an email.

both nights are back up on crescendo.

wow, sweet!! i love stratton!! i practically lived there this winter. there\'s sweet hiking all around the area, especially on stratton mountain itself. the long trail (great beer, but that\'s not what i\'m talking about here...) and the appalachian trial intersect at some point at the summit. i really hope to check out this festival. can\'t wait to see what other bands are playing, but two nights of the breakfast sounds awesome enough for me.

The location is now at the Bondville Fairgrounds at the base of Stratton Mountain in Bondville, VT. There WILL be free on-site camping with a large healing-arts geodesic dome from Allard Engineering with yoga, reiki, massage, vibrational healing (w/didj), and a late-night acoustic teahouse. The band lineup is looking like this:

Soulive
the Everyone Orchestra (w/TBD special guests)
Lotus
Hot Buttered Rum String Band
Spam Allstars
DJ Harry
The Breakfast
Peter Prince & Moon Boot Lover
Gordon Stone Band
Turkey Bouillon Mafia w/ Christina Durfee
Panda Watch
and more...

Tickets will be $90 w/$5 tax,shipping,handling, available through the online store at http://www.empvt.com. We\'re working on some other exciting things, too, but I\'ll get to that later. Are you still in Boston these days or did you go west already? Anyways, I hope you\'re well.

Peace

Andrew
