Hello -
Just found out about this festival through an ad on Facebook, and, well, the rest is history. Never been to this one - or any other large festival either! So, I'm already nervous and excited...and it's four and a half months away. *laugh*
Just wanted to introduce myself - I'll be lurking around here a lot, trying to absorb info! Thanks for setting up this board!

Hey, glad to see you joined! This is a great festie to start out with. Its not super huge or overwhelming and you'll make friends with everyone you're around! I like that the bathrooms are always clean and you can shower for free in warm water, you can get everywhere fast, and you can usually see every band you want without missing a different show! There's also a couple great places for shade while watching too! Not to mention almost everywhere you camp is nice and shady!!

Jumping around was a problem for me last year at a huge festival. I wanted to see so many things and ended up seeing a little of this and a little of that. We had to split up and meet up and it was a pain. Going to the bowl and sitting down to enjoy a full show sounds perfect to me. 10K seems like the right size, not too small & not too big. My good friend is opting for the big gun again this year and I wish she were going with me instead. This was a hard choice to make so I went with my gut. I'm already praying for great weather. If the weather is fine, how can anything be bad?

Awesome forum! My name is Greg. I'm going to 10KLF for my first time this year. I got my ticket and reservation for Northwoods yesterday. I'm SO excited! I keep trying to talk some of my friends into going, but they don't seem too interested. Their loss! I'll go by myself if I have to. Anyone else staying in Northwoods? July can't come fast enough....

Hi Greg, great to have you here! I've been trying to get other friends to go as well but they either don't have the money or aren't interested, haha. I'm staying at Sallie to meet up with some people and see the stage there. You'll have a lot of fun in Northwoods!

I've been doing quite a bit of reading...and everyone that's been to 10klf says that Northwoods gets a little crazy at night. Right up my alley! Woo Hoo!!! Yeah, I think the cost has a lot to do with my friends not wanting to go. There is that whole recession thing goin on..... Not worried though, I'm sure I'll make a lot of new friends while I'm there.

We've already surpassed the number of posts in the last known active forum from '07/'08, haha! I'm just trying to talk people into going by listing all the awesome things about this festival: its one of the cheapest ones - you can get money off with my code - there's a payment plan, there's tons of room for everyone, you can get much closer to the stage, shady camping, a huge lake, free showers and clean bathrooms, and so much more!

Yay - I'm glad the forum is growing - I like meeting new people! I'm hoping I can meet some nice people at the festival as well, as I'll be there myself too. But here is a good place to start socializing, I hope. I'm also gonna be at Lake Sallie - I figured just slightly lower key was right for me. Nice to meet you all!

I know! With no other fees either! I took advantage of that. ;D

I had already decided to buy the tickets and when I went to checkout the payment plan popped up. Isn't it a no brainer? Then the next day they started to advertise it. I wonder if it is drawing people in.

Thanks for starting this board. We are coming from Fort Lauderdale for a mid-summer cool off at our first 10kL festivus. Super pumped for the venue and lineup. Mojitos will be my contribution to the effort. Cheers!

Does anyone know much about VIP? We decided to try it this year...We have some friends that are not in VIP, do you know if they can come hang out at our RV or is it no access? Can't wait for 2 nights of panic and 2 nights of TLG!!!!
