Festival Preview: Rothbury 2009
Submitted by eggs on Tue, 06/30/2009 - 01:14.
I can't believe that it's been a whole year since my last trip up to Michigan for the inaugural Rothbury Festival, which garnered rave reviews from everybody in the BOT staff. I'll be rolling solo this year, but am not worried because there are a world of friends to be made at one of the friendliest place in the world. If not, I can always lose myself in the Sherwood Forest to kill a few hours.... I'll be running around taking tons of pictures of as many artists as I can, and hope to capture the festival as best as possible from Toubab Krewe's opening chords on Thursday until Umphrey's McGee says goodbye on Sunday. If you're a vet to Rothbury, you already know, but if this is your first time, welcome to the best festival ever.
Check out the full schedule here, and the map here. If you need any advice about your first trip up to Rothbury, or have any questions to be answered, there's a wealth of information to be had on the Infobury message board. Also, If you're a Rothbury vet, please feel free to leave any helpful advice to the noobs in our comment section below.
I'll be tweeting live from Rothbury, so feel free to follow BOT on Twitter to keep up with the action as it happens.
See ya in Sherwood...
Advice
You can never spend too much time in the forest. There is all types of amazing shit going on in there, day and night. It is definately the place to be if your losing your mind a little and need to relax. Beware, it may increase the amount of mind melting as well. Enjoy, Eggs! Wish I could join again, but I'm still catching up from living on the road the last three weeks.
It's be cool if you could
It's be cool if you could join me! Especially since I have no one to take our other media wristband...

Monkeys
Apparently, the monkeys won't be back this year. I'm sure they'll replace them with something equally as kick-ass though...
I guess I'll see in about twelve hours!

lrob.
note, I hve had one surgery already, and at least one more is scheduled.dr says I am recovering as fast as I can, given the severity of the injury I sustained in the attack.
once again:DESCRIPTION OF ATTACKER:
MALE-6'3: 6'4" closely cropped black hair--various tattoos, most notably one of a 'pentagram' on his lower back-at the time of the attack-roughly 4pm, june 5, at wakarusa festival-mulberry mountain, arkansas-he wa shirtless,and wearing blue denim shorts
.he MAY be in the company of a blonde female, that is said to answer to the nick name 'hatter'--It is possible that her real first name MAY be 'jessica'
.I do not know these people.-this is the only information I could glean after the attack.
wakarusa security, WATCHED the attack, but made no attempt at apprehension.(we are also trying to determine who these two guards are, but mike neville, and nathan springer, (security supervisor, and event coordinator, respectively, have refused to release their identities for depositions)--there also seem to be some questions with ther arkansas state police as to michael neviles state license to operate a security company, as well.--but thats secondary.(we need to dpeose thiese guards, to get statements, and also determine if they were involved in any way with the robbery (or not).--but we need their identities first & foremost (as well as the assailant & his accomplice)
(if you fear retaliation,(or being labeled a 'snitch'--even tho this isnt about drugs-its about preventing these people from pulling furthur violence at other events)
as many people who witnessed the attack have cited, yet, you come across my property-notably, my money clip-you may safely return it to the following secure address as well:
Rob
718 Fort Worth Drive #104
Denton,TX 76201-7123
once again: vehicle associated with attackers: dark caprice classic with NM tags-the balloon style.--the driver of this car may not be involved,but its been learned that he knows the people who were.we *really* need to talk to him.
once again: thank you rob (720) 838-6564 PLEASE CALL IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP!
REWARD REWARD REWARD FOR INFORMATION OR RETURN OF STOLEN PROPERTY!.
