Fireworks....bring some!

Have you ever been at Buffestalo and the bands are just rocking your world, and the whisky is sitting just right, and the lights of the treehouse look simply beautiful, and the fireworks are just about the coolest thing you've ever seen, and then.....that's it! No more fireworks?! And you're like, 'damn, it'd be cool if we had some MORE fireworks'? I know, right?? MORE FIREWORKS!! The thing is, they're expensive!! We increased the fireworks budget in planning this year's 'festalo, but if you believe, like I do, that you just can't have enough of 'em, then help us out by grabbing some on your way up. Here's a list of exits where they can be acquired on your journey north:

Thanks!!

Towels!

A post from last year that bears repeating:

As Douglas Adams astutely recognized, a towel is the single most important thing that any traveler can bring on their journeys. In acknowledgement of this impressive insight, we would like to encourage all Buffestalo-goers who believe they would like to take a shower in the house at some point over the course of Buffestalo, to please, BRING YOUR OWN TOWEL!

Wanna dance?

Wanna dance?  If so, please bring your favorite dance tunes on an iPod playlist for a little project we have going on.

BUFFESTALO REGISTRATIONS:  ✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔✔


Nine?!?!  Nine people are coming this year?!??!?   Register today, people! (and thank you to those who have!)

Buffestalo 2012 registration is now open!!!  "Why the hell do I have to register for a party??" you may ask.   Well, here's the deal - we have a ton of stuff jammed into this party - bands, fireworks, food, beer, activities, ACTIVITIES I SAY!  In order to pull all of that off, we need to know a little about who's coming, when you're coming, and what you plan to do when you get there.  Also, we need your money.  Yes, that's the truth of the matter, so let's just put that behind us and get on with the partying, shall we?

Register now!!!

Buffestalo takes to the river!

Lazy river Saturday!  Okay, so we're going to try something new this year.  Last year on day two of Buffestalo, several people got their act together and ventured over for a swim in the pond at John Muir park.  By all accounts, getting your ass in the water is a perfect fixer to a night of rocking and rolling and sleeping on the ground.  Taking that as a cue, we've made arrangements to try and throw everyone on the river this year.   At 9:00 AM, Saturday morning, we have arranged for buses to arrive at the Buffestalo grounds and take us all for a lazy river run.  We've arranged for fifty (50!) inner tubes and four (4!) canoes.  Trust us on this one folks, it'll make for a great morning and upon our return to the Buffestalo grounds, we'll have a pig roast dinner and Filmfestalo set to finish off the night.

Buffestalo 2012!!

The last Buffestalo? Well, if the Mayans - as understood by 21st Century Americans, widely known for their profound insights into foreign cultures and human history - are right, then 2012 will be the end of days and this will be our LAST BUFFESTALO...dun dun dun! And wouldn't you know it, the 4th is on a mother f'in Wednesday this year. Dammit! No natural three day weekend for the first time in the history of Buffestalo! Ah well, nothing to do but throw your head back, laugh at the gods, and forge valiantly onward, amirite? Here's what we're thinking:

Friday, June 29th - we'll provide an all star line up of rockin' live music, delicious, delicious beer, mildly dangerous pyrotechnics, and an epic bonfire. You do your best to show up no later than 7:00 PM, bring grillage or other sustenance to carry you through the night, be prepared to spend a weekend mostly outdoors, and leave the bad vibes in whatever city you've fled.

Saturday, June 30th - we'll make all the arrangements for a (relatively) early morning group tubing/canoeing trip down the Fox River, return to the Buffestalo grounds mid-afternoon, respectfully roast a pig for dinner, and settle in for a simply lovely evening of independently produced films screened in the great outdoors.

Sunday, July 1st - we stagger around looking for water, aspirin, and coffee, clean up all the bullshit that's been strewn around the property while we left ourselves in the charge of our psychotic, lizard brains, pack up our stinking, filth ridden belongings, head back to our respective urban existences, and await the apocalypse.

Also, Bigfoot.

Does this sound like a plan? Let me know whether or not you think this sounds like a plan.

Save the Date!

Buffestalo 2012 is coming! Friday, June 29th - Sunday, July 1st.

Details coming soon.....
