Pickin in the Pines - Flagstaff, AZ

[Michelle - Tiki]

Hey now Festivarian friends...summer is coming to a close, but it is still festival season.  Hope to see many of you in Pagosa this year...and, more importantly, I hope to see many of you in Flagstaff, AZ September 14 - 16 for our second annual Pickin' in the Pines Bluegrass and Acoustic Music Festival.  Lara, Dwayne and I have been helping to organize this year's festival, and we're really psyched to see a lot of our festivarian friends come support it.  Weekend passes are only $60, and a camping pass is $15.  There's no fee for vehicle passes!  We've got a stellar line up including David Grisman Bluegrass Experience, Kruger Brothers, Chatham County Line, Sweet Sunny South, Boulder Acoustic Society and many more.  The venue is amazing - brand new and state-of-the-art.  And, the camping is a short walk or shuttle ride to the amphitheater.  The tiki bar will be set up in the campground, and we'll be celebrating Dwayne's birthday with a big potluck dinner on Saturday evening.    Bands should check out our contest - $1,000 first prize!  Visit our web site www.pickininthepines.org for more info, or you can send me an email directly if you have questions.   Looking forward to seeing you in Pagosa... and, hopin' to see you here in my home town too:)   

In Peace,
Michelle

What is the schedule like? Could I just show up Sat night, find a spot and just do Sunday?  Could I sleep in my car if I didnt feel like doing the whole tent thing? Would you all have any extra spaces in your campsite for a late arrivel???? etc etc etc...

thhis has the makings of a really sad country ballad 


all together now:


I made a  wrong turn in Barstow again
missed my date in flagstaff
where I really shoulda been

now i'm stuck in a truck stop in mesquite
with nobody to love
and nothin to eat...

Hi, all--

I'm so excited that I have to toot my own horn!

If you want to hear some of the music from the festival, I've got just the thing for you. (Drumroll, please!)

My first podcast is now online at http://www.flgnews.com/ !! Yay!

In case you haven't heard, podcasts are basically radio shows made to listen to on your computer or a portable mp3 player, like an iPod. I was invited to put one together, and decided the first one should be about Pickin' in the Pines. So go take a listen, and let me know what you think.

thanks!

Hi. I just stumbled on this site looking for something just like this to do this month. I will try to be there. I live in Tucson, maybe 5 hours away.

Thanks!

I'll have to wait to hear it this weekend but congratulations on your expanded techno skills. 

Nice to see your faces and good luck on Pickin in the pines.

Love,

Very Cool 
Says the Hippie looking over his shoulder at the next star of radio 

I've informed Dad that this is the Flagstaff party of the season, just without the oysters.
He just might show up and buy you a cold frosty beverage.

Have a blast guys, I'll be racing rubber ducks that Saturday.
