You would not have to see them all. The camping area is right on the beach.

This sounds like fun. I'll probably make it down for Saturday, but doubt I'll camp.

I think the Melvin JGB show with Leo show will be on the sunday as it looks like Leo is playing up north at the Sweetwater on 4/7 and 4/8. We may try for that day. The alcohol policy is a bit off putting for a 3 day camping festival.

double derp edit

and I don't even drink much...

Stealth Drinking Learn How To Do IT devil

Wow! A 60 hour drum circle! I can't wait to get tickets for this.

FYI this is the First  related  GD Phil etc Jamband theme to happen at the Fairgrounds Since June 30th 2000

 

Hope it's a Great time.

anybody w/ an RV going who has room for lil' ol' me?

will definitely cost-share... email is in my profile

 

 

the info about on-site camping is confusing to me... 

they state that "earliest responders will camp on grass near the stages..."

but then, they also say "no tent camping area, tent campers must purchase general pass..."

 

It means only car camping sites.  You cannot hike in with your tent (unless you are sharing a site). Each space is 10' x 30' and can hold one car and as many tents as will fit in the space.

I already bought a camp site, Gfish. I bought it early, so I should have one of the grass sites near the stage. So far it is just my tent and my car. You are welcome to pitch your own tent on my site. I think you can leave your car in the day parking and purchase a general pass. Once the car camping cars come in they cannot leave, but I could pick you up in the lot on my way in.  Having a car in the day lot would be good if needed to get supplies (only 2 nights, so should be able to bring everything in).

Trying again - it is a little unclear, but I think it means another tent can be put in the camp space.

awesome offer, Zooey... I think I'll take you up on that!

have tent, will pitch

are you in the Cubensis "Early Bird" group? (they state that "each band's Early Birds will be strategically camped together...")

 

 

I wonder if JK is jealous that his name was left off the poster.  He should have known that selling his soul to Bobby and Furthur would ultimately  leave him in obscurity.  A cautionary tale to other cover band frontmen. 

Yes, Gfish, I'm in the Cubensis early bird group. I think camp sites there are still available (and can be purchased by following the directions in aqua above). I will measure my car today to make sure there will be room for 2 tents, but 10 x 30 seems like enough space for a car and 2 tents. 

Im not sure what the shade situation is there.  An EZ-up for shade cover may be useful - do you have one? I have some camp chairs I can bring.  

^^^  yes, Z... I do have an EZ-up

I am Doing The Early Bird pass but with No Camping as i Live not too far away and i want my Vehicle accessable To drive back and forth from home and stores as i please etc.

I Need In and Out  Access due to Health Reasons as Well.

Additional bands have been added to the website.  Early Bird pricing now ends tomorrow.

Missed a powerful night last night, Zooey. What happened?

Sorry I missed it! Monsoon conditions here at time to leave sad

Can't DNB Be Booked PLEASE !

 

Mark i Really wanted to be there Too ! Crazy weather around here Yesterday

This Would Be The Perfect Time For David Nelson To Say Thanks Friends South  BOOK The DNB Fairgrounds ! call Your Contacts Friends.

I really don't want to miss that 60 hour drum circle

Can they bring us room service so we never miss a beat???

 

 

I was thinking about going down for Saturday, but I think I'm liking the Sunday line-up better.

60 hour drum circle<<

 

Hit some skins! Miss the show!

Anyone know when tent camping went away at Emma Woods State Beach? Apparently there is only self contained car camping now. I camped there for the shows in 85' and 87'. It offered a respite from the all night party and a chance to catch a few winks.

smiley devil cool wink.. sat / sun. 805.

ize totally goes to this...

NON-CAMPERS WHO PURCHASE 3-DAY FESTIVAL PASS MAY EXIT AND RE-ENTER THE FESTIVAL BUT MUST SIGN-OUT AND CHECK-IN AT THE BOX OFFICE EACH TIME.  <<<<

 

Bears Well smiley and Beers well.cool

 

 

My band Greatest Story is playing the Garden Stage Saturday at...830 am!  Coffee gig for me☕️   I'll give a wake up shout out yo zoner campers!

im a camper with a 3 day pass. but i need to get in and out constantly/..... what do i do?

That's a lot of Grateful Dead cover bands. I'm not sure if I'm more amazed that there are that many GD cover bands, or that there are so many more that AREN'T playing that festival.

My oldest friend is the bass player in Supplication. He'll have to represent for the both of us.

Ya'll have fun with all that Grateful Dead music.

The most amazing part is that Stu Allen is not in any of the bands! An oversight, I guess smiley

I just pulled the trigger on a ticket for Sunday. Single day tickets are $60 until April 3rd and then they go up to $75. I'm looking forward to meeting folks and seeing Zooey again.

Are you coming down for this jonny jon jon ??

830 am! << Wow early tunes Garsurf !

Bump for the long range forecast. Possibility of rain late Friday into early Saturday with temps in the low 60s at the beach. Sunday looks clear with temps in the mid 60s.

Hmmm... cold and rainy doesn't sound like good camping weather. Maybe this will turn into a day trip.

I hear you, Zooey. Camping at the beach in April is a younger person's game IMO. That's why I decided to just head down for the day on Sunday.

Not Going

 

have fun all that go.

Bummer, dude. I thought for sure you'd be there, since it's pretty much right in your backyard.

Did anyone go?

Heard it was great. 

Thanks, Mark. Zooey, Mike?

I bailed at the last minute. We had a return to winter up here in the hills late last week and I woke up Sunday morning feeling kind of crummy.

Sorry you didn't feel like going. (Feeling better now? I hope so.)

Zooey? Anyone else?

I ended up bailing, too. I had planned to camp but it was a little too cold for me, and it rained the first night. It was nice during the day, though.  This photo is from the Cubensis FB page and it looks like there was a good turnout for the headliners.

This is a cute FB photo of the Scott Guberman family touring the beach.

My Hound would totally, liek, say to that other Hound,  C'mon Dude, let's go North !!  Yukon Ho & we gots wheels.

And then, and then he'd say "Oh heck, it's awfully Warm here in Ventura Beach.  Let's have snack and nap-time, right ??"

He is a Hound of Circumstance.
