projected numbers at 10k lakes

[nomad]

Looking forward to this festie. Telluride and Rothbury were both very fun, what is the projected population for 10k lakes? If I had to guess I'd say around 10 thousand. Anyone else?

This year it will be somewhere between 10 and 25k (obviously), I'll guess around 16. I'm guessing that because I have a feeling there is going to be an insane amount of Dave fans there this year.

In '06 it was around 18k, in '07 about 15k and in '08 only around 12k. I don't have proven numbers or anything. I have seen estimates of between 15 and 25 for this year. I believe I heard they will be printing 25,000 festival program booklets, but that doesn't tell you anything. I really have no idea. It will probably be a little more crowded than last year for the first 3 days and then on Saturday (because of the Saturday music + camping tix for DMB, which has never been done at 10k before) a lot more people will be there.

thanks for the reply sister, do you think busking is ok at 10k lakes? I have a pretty unique instrument (hang drum)and haven't had any problems at other festies this summer.

That is sweet!! I see absolutely no problem with you bringing it there, all they said was no electric instruments. Where are you camping because that'd be really cool to hear you play!

thanks for the insight, not sure where I'll be camping, ridesharing in with some people then just hoofing it around till I find a good spot, will most def see u there where abouts will you be camped?

We'll be camping in Lake Sallie. Like I said in another post, everyone is welcome to stop by and there will be a 10KLF Forum sign and a flag with a loon on it.. and possibly a giant rainbow umbrella! Pictures of what to look for will be posted in a few days.

I was on Infobury last night catching up on some stuff and saw a couple videos posted of you playing! All I have to say is you sound awesome!

[nomad]

thanks very much!

Nomad--I did get to hear you play but somehow at the time, my mind didn't register that it was you!! It was on Thursday afternoon, I think, along a main Northwoods path.

Enjoyed your music a lot, thanks for being there!!!
