Many of you will likely recall Ron's (Doucanoe) outstanding gathering last year - Cobblefest. I've been considering hosting Cobblefest 2011 at my place in the country this year...
I like the theme from last year, but have ample space for almost anything you could possibly want to bring. For those who don't know, the theme of Cobblefest is DIY. If you built, repaired, modded, restored or somehow cobbled it together, we want to see and hear it! And even if you didn't, we still want to hear it
For those who were there last year, its a bit different at my place. I live in Lindstrom, MN on a 5 acre lot. My primary neighbors are cows and cornfields. Since I'm a single guy living in a 4 bedroom house, there will be ample space to set up systems. I was thinking one or two systems per spare bedroom would be cool (similar to AK Fest), plus there is the (unfinished) basement, 3-car garage, and detached garage which has power as well.
On a personal note, my goal is to get a set of stacked Altec A7's going this year
I'd like to know what dates work well for people. I'm thinking a Saturday towards the end of May (personally I needed a full day to recover from last year). I can put people up for the night (before and the day of) for anybody who has a long drive or drinks too much or is just having so much damn fun that they don't want to leave! I can provide the space, but you are on your own for a bed
I'm going to let this kinda flow and morph into its own life. But a few things I'd like to point out. I moved into this place (my first house EVER) less than 2 months ago, so I don't have a whole lot here. I'm sitting with a Weber grill and that's about it. Any help that people can offer will be much appreciated. Also, this is BYOB for the most part. It'd be great if everybody could bring a little something to share (food, not necessarily booze). As usual, there will be a swap table for all to use. If you can, please bring something to give away as a door prize. This has been a big hit every year! We've had amps, speakers, horns, albums, cables, etc and everybody leaves with something! I'm thinking about doing something a little different this year and having a raffle. Not exactly sure how I'm going to work this, but probably 3 nice prizes that people can buy raffle tickets for.
I'm sure I will think of more as time goes on, but for now that's all I've got. Good people, good tunes, good food, how can you go wrong? Countryfest 2011 is ON!!!
Please PM me for more info (address, dates that work, questions, etc).
