I remember hearing about a free festival featuring many sets of Raq to occur somewhere near Woodstock, NY. shrugged it off, thinking to myself, how can a band of this size afford to do something of such a grand scale. It costs thousands of dollar$ to put on a festival, with the hope of making some sort of profit... well there turned out to be some truth in what I heard:

this all boggles my mind.....
This is at some of my very close friends land. The stage was built last year and the land is a natural ampitheatre.
There is private party there this weekend.
I know they were worried about how many people were gonna show up. I have seen the info posted on quite a few sites so I hope they are gonna be ready for it
