Big Summer Classic!

beautiful, thank you so much man.
karma for you, do you think they will add anyone else?

No, I think the stage schedule is pretty much set. But that doesn't mean we won't get some very special guests. With three nights of Cheese, you know they're gonna get somebody special up there with them.

Wow! that was the most bodacious festie i have ever been too.
my camp was 10 feet from the clearest and most beatiful creek i've seen
i was 2 minutes from both stages, loved the atmosphere and the phamily vibe
got to meet chris berry from panjea,
jason hann from string cheese,
hump, ?uestlove, and black thought from the roots,
lead singer and guitarist from The Schwag
and the big guy from los lobos

all of which actually talked with me for 10-15 minutes, everyone was so awesome.
only like 4,000 people, which really was headie. yeah, so what if it was 103 degrees most days,
i have found that day-trippin' cancels out the heat since there are more important things to while under the infloosh. alot of people picking up their own trash too, which is good way to send off our champs in SCI, no red rocks for me but Camp Zoe's setlists were better anywho. MAN! what a beautiful venue. everyone should visit Camp Zoe for their Schwagstocks, it ties with Big Cypress, imo

Glad you had a good time for your first visit to Zoe. This was my 10th time out and this was without question the hottest it has ever been there. However, every performance I saw was absolutely top notch. It was my first exposure to Bassnectar and I was beyond impressed. That Killing in the Name Of cover he did was pretty nasty.

The coolest part of the whole weekend though was on Sunday when I was packing up to leave because I was out of money and had no food. My neighbor that I had only known for about three days straight up gives me 40 bucks to make it through Sunday. I'm glad I stayed too cause I got to discover David Lindley who kicked ass.

I would have to say I had the time of my life, I couldnt believe it when I heard it was as hot as it was. I guess having a creek and so many trees around helps things. Bassnectar was sick, as was David LIndley,JJ grey and Mofro, Greyboy Allstars,SCI,YMSB, drew Emmit Band,Del Mccoury, The Roots, VUsi Mahlasela, EOTO, in fact it was all good, the wailers delayed their set , and I got to see Buckwheat Zydeco.IT was easy to get up close at the stages.I didnt come home with blistered feet, a dust cough, or being burnt to crisp. I got some good chicken nuggets that were tastier, and bigger than what I got @ bonnaroo. Everyone was really friendly, i got to meet David Lindley, and get his autograph, such a down to earth person. This would have to be the best weekend ever! There is going to be another weekend on august 30th running through september 2nd which is Labor Day Weekend, featuring 2 nights ofKeller Williams And 2 nights of Devon Allmans Honeytribe. There will also be 3 nights of the schwag. 56 Hope Road,Madahoochi, and several other midwest bands of all styles will be playing. It looks like about 17 bands for the weekend wth more TBA. This will probably be even more chilled as you can (or have been able to in the past) bring cans or bottles to the stages with you, If not then you just have to pour it in to a plastic cup( thats what they were doing @ Big Summer Classic). The next event is 60 bucks. 65 bucks if arriving on Thursday. I hope to be there as it will be a blast, and this place will continue to grow as a premiere venue in the midwest, if not the whole U.S.

agreed!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah the Wailers did start nearly an hour late but they said that the police gave em a hard time and that their driver to the bus got arrested for DUI, but as the lead man said "Dey kan't stop da mooseek!"
wish i could make it to schwagstock 35 with keller, that would be extremely sick, I think the echo project is all that i can pull for the rest of 2007, but i plan on going back to camp zoe in 08
