Hellllllooooo everyone! Happy New Year and long time no see. The organizers of Buffestalo would like to momentarily interrupt your hibernation to remind you that although mid-January might seem grim at the moment, it also means we're more than halfway to Buffestalo 2009. That's right we will be back and better than ever this year, and we wanted to give you the heads up. Why? Well, here's why:
- Dates: official Buffestalo 2009 dates will be Friday, July 3rd through Sunday, July 5th. Proceedings on Friday will be much like last year with bands and fireworks scheduled to go down, so hit the road to Montello early. We'll be announcing bands in future posts.
- Filmfestalo! We are looking forward to expanding Buffestalo beyond the Friday festivities and build on the impromptu screenings we had last year. We are strongly encouraging contributions for this aspect of the 'festalo from anyone and everyone. If you have an idea for something that you've been waiting to put to film, and want an audience for it - here's your chance! Give us a heads up if you plan to submit something so we can get a read on how much we'll be screening.
- Accomodations - as with last year, bedrooms will be limited and attendees are strongly encouraged to camp on the Buffestalo Tent City grounds. For those that prefer a roof over their head, we encourage you to contact the Ox Creek Campground, where they have six cabins for rent on the property neighboring the Buffestalo grounds. All of these cabins were booked by the time we got the word out last year, so contact them early!
That's it for now, folks, but we'll be sending additional announcements as plans develop, and they'll all be posted right here. Feel free to forward!
