Forum MVP Dead duck Posted January 12, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I’m a GA guy. Will try and grab mine and my oldest’s before the 16th. Youngest may not get to go because that’s the last day of school here and he has finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 13, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Bix I would assume large group both on RV fence line and also a large/ possibly larger group in VIP. Also some group scattered throughout the bowl but those would be the two large groups I'd count on. One rv along the fence. One large group VIP where camp inappropriate used to be.

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 13, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 It's been a long time since you could hear yells from camp. "I need adult supervision". "Your lady gonna wet the bed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted January 14, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 I think I'll try VIP this year. I'm getting too old to climb that hill back to the car camp at three am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its 100 a person to not pack your gear in or out. Took me 15 minutes to load up last year from Vip. That’s my ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back up the hill by 1 am. Maybe he likes the bluegrass more than I do but I'm back at camp well before 3 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 15, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I think you can rationalize and justify whatever ticket or course of action you choose. Hell I think if you can afford it. Hotel and Uber's sound nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Island Bro Posted January 15, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Actually I've never understood the hotel/uber approach to attending a festival. I guess if someone just can't stand camping then it makes some sense,,,but for me, half the purpose and benefit of the festival experience is the full immersion. It's so different getting to live in IT for a few days and have more time to just HANG OUT and really get into a timelessness kind of space.... But I know for some having a nice shower and a cushy place to crash is a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 15, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I'm there to dance Huck. Most festivals have a lot of noise for me. Music I don't like. Showers nice bed shelter from the storms all sound nice. I don't call festivals camping. I like to camp. Involves more solitude and nature than a festival offers. Btw, your not gonna find me in a hotel just saying it sounds nice. I also don't need to hang a lot to feel fully immersed in DSO and the Jubilee. I feel that way laying on my couch today.

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted January 16, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I've been known to be one who sweats like that. Just back at camp. I want to hang out a little on the hill this year. Kind of where the pathways meet. Always looks like some good craziness going on right there late night.

Forum MVP Tea Posted January 16, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Sometimes I'm raring to go for more music late-nite. Most times I'm pretty gassed and looking for time to reflect with others about what we saw and what's still to come. Hoping to break my 2-yr Jubilee hiatus this year. I'm doin VIP solely for the setup/breakdown element and for the promise of a warm shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj3down Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm picking up my GA ticket + RV ticket today. So with this purchase, at least 1 RV space along the fence has been secured. I think we had 3 of them last year which created quite the sizable overall campsite. Each RV space accommodates about 3-4 tent camp sites comfortably with vehicles. Shaping up to be another fine Jubilee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Dead duck Posted January 16, 2018 Forum MVP Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Bought mine and my oldest’s last night. Debated VIP but lack of funds will have us lugging our crap as usual down into the bowl. May get a hotel night before to make sure we get in early enough for a prime spot. Last year a noon arrival made for slim Pickens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
