I can do that.

mon, tues, wed? why not come out to Oregon and start on friday instead of monday. You can catch two festivals. The fun is exponentially better by attending both. Ask CJ. He's a King of fun. Kings don't lie. You can carpool with folks from Portland to In-Didj-In-Us, then down to JT, and back out to the airport. Turn it into all-friends-all-the-time, because that's the way of the future (fortunately taking the place of plastic).
AUM.

Hey CC....we'll be going early & staying late....as usual......slave laborers hafta report for duty early and then they don't take off the chains until a few days after;-)
But, ya might wanna cross post this to the other tribe and forums, since this one spends so much time under "emergency repairs."

I plan to go early and stay late at Indidjinus, then early and late to the North Fork JT........ I'm still working out my arrangements for a place to stay near Jammin Tree early.

I usually help arrange a set up and take down crew for the JT Fest.
I slacked a little last year, but this year I think we should all really pull together and show our appreciation for all the years T&G have made this happen.

It doesn't matter if you are a first timer or an old hand, now is the time to step up and really show that we can truely manifest the reality that we want :)

Here is a list of major tasks, labor and equipment that is done by volunteers:

Pickups, trailers, vans, cars, etc to haul the stage, workshop canopies, and other fest items from the storage location about 30 minutes from the site. This happens on Thursday.
People who are willing and able to load and set up the stage, backdrops, workshop canopies and other general fest items. Also on Thursday.
Check and empty trash cans through out the fest area on a twice daily basis. All fest.
Help stringing electrical cords, lights and stuff to the vendors. Thursday/Friday morning.

And of course, after the fest is over, we need to take the whole thing down and haul it all back, Monday.

I know this seems like a lot, but this is what it takes.
If we have enough hands, each volunteer should only need to work about 4 hours to set up, and 4 hours to take down.
Of course, even an hour helps.....

So some of you beautiful people, who understand the concept of positive work as a form of karmic meditation.....

Get in contact with me and lets make this happen in the best possible way it can :)
namaste,

The kids and I, plus probably 1 more 13 year-old boy, are tentatively planning to roll into the area on Wednesday as well. We are all VERY eager to step right up and help do what needs to be done Wed night/Thursday/ throughout the festival! Besides, that's extra time we can all spend together. Count the Monti Clan in! I like the idea of camping at Bass lake or some such place. Has anyone looked in to some kind of large group site there yet, or shall I?
Can't wait to see you all!
