There has been intermittent chatter about it on the Rolling Metal thread, but I know a few of us are going and maybe some more folks would go if they knew about it. So, here's a place to make plans, talk about the amazing lineup, cajole fence sitters into coming, etc.
I'm making the trip up from Dallas via Minneapolis. Who will I meet in Oshkosh?

sorry I f'd up my coding there. At least it works.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 17 March 2014 15:46 (ten years ago) link
I am going to be there as well. Hopefully that makes people want to go instead of the opposite.
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Monday, 17 March 2014 15:47 (ten years ago) link
uh oh well that answers that question
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Monday, 17 March 2014 16:27 (ten years ago) link
Ha!
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 17 March 2014 16:28 (ten years ago) link
so many of my fave bands and fave buds. i'm really thrilled about it. THOU + THE BODY!!
― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Monday, 17 March 2014 16:56 (ten years ago) link
Seriously. The lineup is stupidly good, the Fest is small so the focus will be on the actual music, and I'll get to meet friends old and new. Stupidly excited.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 17 March 2014 17:05 (ten years ago) link
im hitching a ride back to knox with barghest who are playing at my place the following night after the fest. everyone make a small side trip 1000s of miles out of your way and join us!!
― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Monday, 17 March 2014 17:10 (ten years ago) link
I'm game if John is! But I think we would quickly be murdered on our return.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 17 March 2014 17:15 (ten years ago) link
everything has its price
― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Monday, 17 March 2014 17:17 (ten years ago) link
how many passes are they selling again? i remember it was a crazy small amount, but not the actual number
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Monday, 17 March 2014 17:32 (ten years ago) link
500
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 17 March 2014 17:35 (ten years ago) link
thats nuts
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Monday, 17 March 2014 17:37 (ten years ago) link
There will be some individual day passes, too. But this is going to be pretty intimate, all things considered.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 17 March 2014 17:39 (ten years ago) link
showed a dude in the store the lineup yesterday and he lost his shit over the fact that loss was playing
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Tuesday, 18 March 2014 15:37 (ten years ago) link

Pretty amazing, isn't it?
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 3 April 2014 20:41 (nine years ago) link
This is a very popular thread
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Sunday, 6 April 2014 04:53 (nine years ago) link
Hugely so! I'm glad I made a public private thread for the three of us.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 6 April 2014 04:55 (nine years ago) link
Hello
― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 20:26 (nine years ago) link
i have been thinking about possibly going to a day of this, but do you guys think i need to buy a ticket now?
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Tuesday, 8 April 2014 20:26 (nine years ago) link
I think you're okay at the moment. Is there a particular day you're thinking of coming? I'll keep an eye out for any pronouncements.
Also - Yay!
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 8 April 2014 20:42 (nine years ago) link

― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 18:21 (nine years ago) link

― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 18:47 (nine years ago) link

― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 18:52 (nine years ago) link
no need to answer that question btw -- just consider it!
― Mayor Manuel (La Lechera), Wednesday, 9 April 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link
Room booked at the stylish motel 6 for EZ and I, but am glad to cancel if other peeps wanna look at an air bnb deal or know locals or w/e. Where are you all staying?
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Sunday, 27 April 2014 02:33 (nine years ago) link
First 2 hotels on the list are booked up already btw, so
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Sunday, 27 April 2014 02:34 (nine years ago) link
Also, like all music festivals ever, the arranged room discount is nonexistent bullshit
― Corpsepaint Counterpaint (jjjusten), Sunday, 27 April 2014 02:35 (nine years ago) link
literally no idea where im staying, ever
― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Monday, 28 April 2014 19:05 (nine years ago) link
Rented a car for this today, first time in my life. One more stumble into adulthood.

Also looking forward to ilx house. Are there ilx oshkosh locals we should track down? Fuck it I will start a thread to ask.
― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 01:08 (nine years ago) link
This one's been such a rousing success that we should hit the bullseye with another thread.
Just a few weeks! Getting excited. Debating if I need to bring a parka for those cold, cold nights in the north.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 01:51 (nine years ago) link
Wish like crazy I was going!
― A. Begrand, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 02:07 (nine years ago) link
I so wish I was going. Have a blast guys!
EZ, judging by this summer so far it will either be 46 degrees or 112 degrees so, uh, I guess that doesn't really help.
― Bus Sex Teen Busted After Queef Beef (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 02:09 (nine years ago) link
That's what I'm afraid of.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 02:20 (nine years ago) link
I'd imagine if you check in 3 or 4 days before you head out, the extended forecast should get you close enough temperature-wise.
― Bus Sex Teen Busted After Queef Beef (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 02:25 (nine years ago) link
Agree. I'm not worried about it. Not to mention that dressing for the occasion requires consideration of more factors than weather. I mean.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 02:33 (nine years ago) link
I would bank on the 112 degree side myself.
― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 02:59 (nine years ago) link
Then I'm not sure I even need shorts.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 1 July 2014 03:01 (nine years ago) link
Just FYI to Jon and A. Begrand, there astoundingly still appear to be passes available. It's not too late!
― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Tuesday, 1 July 2014 03:08 (nine years ago) link
im not sure anyone needs clothes at all

inter arma is a cancel, mysterious replacement on the way, although with uh 5 days not thinking it's going to be a mind blowing option
― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Monday, 14 July 2014 15:37 (nine years ago) link

― Everyone is awful except you. Wait, no, you are also awful. (jjjusten), Monday, 14 July 2014 17:15 (nine years ago) link
i hope roxy & the gang are still coming!
― La Lechera, Monday, 14 July 2014 18:32 (nine years ago) link
Inter Arma had to cancel their tour cause one of them had a court date. Bastard sapling (mostly the same dudes) are still up and running tho
My band have nonetheless run into serious transport issues. I will keep y'all posted
― 1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 15 July 2014 12:30 (nine years ago) link

― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 15 July 2014 12:50 (nine years ago) link

― La Lechera, Tuesday, 15 July 2014 13:18 (nine years ago) link
We watched Ian Miller of Kowloon Walled City karaoke "Wanted: Dead or Alive" at a pizza place.
What an amazing festival.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 20 July 2014 06:35 (nine years ago) link
This festival rules.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 20 July 2014 22:35 (nine years ago) link
Generation of Vipers. Everyone should see/hear/worship them
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 20 July 2014 23:43 (nine years ago) link
They are from my town and are the best dudes ever. I played in a pop punk band with the singer/guitarist in the 90s. Lol.
