NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

It time to find out who's going to the final Nearfest.


1. NorCalKurt and wife.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

I'll be there. No guest just me.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Oh yeah being that I live maybe half hour south of Bethlehem doesn't hurt either. Poor me.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Karisssss and Laudio9 will be there.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Add two more to your tally: VAXman and M.

We'll be there a day early too to get things setup and debugged for Tom's live broadcasts from the Comfort Suites' Ballroom -- carried EXCLUSIVELY on Aural Moon! Yes, there will be a big bash and late evening band performances there too! So, if you can't attend NEARfest, be sure to listen in on Aural Moon.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Anyone got a ticket to sell/giveaway?? :)

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

One Patron ticket here. This one was Peter's (RogorMortis) but due to his surgery, he can not make it to this NEARfest. This ticket is yours for patron cost.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

I am going

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

progdirjim (and if you think I'M trouble) and his brother will be there

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

I'll be there as well....it'll be my first NEARfest, and sadly, my last. I managed to convince my wife to stay home with the kids. Will be bringing a buddy of mine from Syracuse, NY.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Going to be my first time as well. If anyone's path (roughly) overlaps mine - coming down from Albany, NY - and is interested in carpooling, let me know.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

I will be there, but this time only with THREE OTHERS!

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

:neener: LOL

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Pat and I will be there, with my friend Jeff.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Everyone on this list better have their Aural Moon T-shirt and wear it proudly!

If you don't have one, get your order in now!!!

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Uh oh.... I think I know who this was directed to.... This is what I think is happening here... :deadhorse I know that beating a dead horse means something entirely different but it looks appropriate. I'm the horse and that's Vaxman with the stick. So you didn't like L9's Monkey Boy shirt?? I'm sorry, I bought it for him and was the one who suggested that he wear it for the photo, since he IS "Monkeyboy" on AM. So I guess I deserve the beating. `-( And, I don't have an AM shirt. Is there such a thing as a women's size AM T-shirt?? I mean one that actually fit a woman's shape. If so, then I will order one, but I am not buying a man's T-shirt even in a small. If not, then I guess I will just have to hide behind L9 in the next group photo.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

This was not directed at anybody in particular.

I did get a lady-T made for Laxmi. I would request that Iain or Laxmi comment on it. If you get me your size ASAP, I woll put in another run of T-shirts so I have them for NEARfest. It takes a little while to get these made, so the sooner I hear from you, the better.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Vax, if we don't is a nun going to hit our knuckles with a ruler? ;)

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Nah, nothing so sinister. I just make you get down on your hands and knees at a local Catholic church and pick up BINGO card tokens whilst being buggered by the clergy!

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

Bump. Only two weeks away!

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

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.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

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.

Re: NearFest 2012 Who's going?
 

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.
