How would you describe Rumballs to the uninitiated...?

[bgrassvol]

I was asked to describe the annual Rumball gathering to a friend the other day.  I must have been in an "F" 'n mood because this is what I told her....

Rumballs, well that would be a "Fabulous Freakshow Fueled by Fruit-soaked Firewater"

Take a stab at it....I need something to keep me going until June

Oh no!
Don't do that to me AGAIN!

In my humble opinion you don't even try but just tell you friend to get his/her ass there and find out for themselves. Last year, prompted largely by the strolling dobro/tuba duo, we said simply "You don't see that every day." It sort of sums it up don't you think?

All I know is you can't explain anything after RumBalls, you see things that go bump in the night and you wake up in strange places or with strange women.
Wouldn't miss it for the world! No more than one serving for Mark2010!
Great formal opening to the Fest!
Ruuuuum Baaaaalllllls!
Counting down the days! Fesssstivaallll!

  We can give Mark - Tom's big cup.... 

[bgrassvol]

I hope my frind ignores Tom's advice to stick with the Dixie cup like I did...she too can experience the joys of involuntary nudity and walking to the tarp line still coated in dried sticky rumball waste.

Now That would be a great virgin sacrifice. Just remember the trees and rocks all have names. Watch out for the railroad spike next to Maple Al's. It will injure you.

Just one question, Ron. Has the Major ever fallen off the ladder after Rumballs while officially opening the Fest? Find that DVD! Give us Jailhouse Boys some dinner conversation when we show up on his door step in a couple of weeks.
 

[Ron N Deb]

I know Nuttin !!!!!!!!
 

[stongwrcs]

Okay! Guess we'll have to to get it out of the Major some other way! We do have ways and know people!

Major? Do you mean Mayor?
You plan on showing up in a couple weeks?
You better call first.... I may be in Nashville.

If I remember correctly the MAYOR was interviewed while in a tree and had a 20 ounce solo cup in his hand.... but I was not an eye witness. This supposed episode took place prior to my first fest.
