Our NearFest road trip begins this next Saturday!

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Does anyone know if there will be a formal(or informal)gathering for drinks or dinner(or lunch)or anything like that?

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

I'm certain that there will be MANY informal gatherings for drink, dinner and or lunch. ;)

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

if someone could provide the schedule for the informal gatherings, that would be most helpful.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Well, the moonies will usually coalesce between the various bands for want of comestibles and libations. There's usually no plan or schedule, but I'm always thirsty; so if you are too, coalesce with me.

There is an after party in the ballroom of the Comfort Suites hotel (the NEARfest) hotel. Be sure to drop in there. There will be some live acts playing (I know friends Pinnacle will be performing).

I will be traveling with my usual accoutrement of Guinness kit and kegs. I'm at the Comfort Suites, so the G-juice will be flowing there during the three after parties.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Me will be there. FIRE BAD! BEER GOOD! Vax, Jim, Gags and I will be rockin' the ballroom on Aural Moon for live after-show concerts (perhaps with secret special guests), interviews and general mayhem - streamed live on the station - pretty much all night long for 3 nights.

Vax said: I will be traveling with my usual accoutrement of Guinness kit and kegs.

You sure about that? ;)

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

I'm sure. The owner was really upset with the issues surrounding the last kegs ordered. In fact, I'm drinking a *FREE* keg now as their way to apologise. I now have the phone and cell phone numbers of the proprietor. I'll be placing the order on Thursday for 2 kegs for pickup the following Thursday morn.

FYI, get me an itinerary for what you want to do in NYC.

I wish I could be there. Renaissance and U.K. in two days? Deep Sigh......

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

I have another batch of Aural Moon Postcards printed up to hand out and place in strategic locations....doin a little PR for the station! See me at the Fest if you need a few to hand out....make new friends....recruit future moonies...

*supply your own kool-aid...

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Well, the fellow who said he'd buy RogorMortis' ticket has still not provided the funds, so I'm going to conclude that it is, once again, available. I'd love to see you sitting in Zoellner Hall next weekend enjoying Renaissance and UK, et al. ;)

Get your ass to the Lehigh Valley and enjoy the final NEARfest bash!

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

The sad thing is I know people who live locally(Philly burbs area anyway which I consider local)and they aren't going. The two guys I'm thinking of have never been to NF before(although both have been to RF) and are both pretty big prog fans. Quite a shame imo.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Saaaaaay Moonsters, we'll have our usual corner spot on the parking deck. Feel free to stop by between shows for some food & beers. See yas at the shows. :cool:

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Where exactly will this be? The upper most parking lot?

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Well, it depends on who gets what corner first. The parking deck attached to Baker Hall/Zoellner.

Look for the Pretty Blue Jeep and Pretty Red Cooler! I dunno if we'll be cooking Friday night, but Sat and Sun we always do.
