Does anyone happen to know anyone that's headed to Hardly Strictly from Arizona?? I would LOVE to go but as of now don't have a ride.. Of course I would pitch in for gas and great conversation! (I can also help with driving.. I have a valid drivers license)

There is a house in San Francisco we can rent for $2200 for 3 nights. only 2 miles from Golden gate park.
6 bedrooms 5 bath.   we can put 18 people in there.
thoughts???   

[Hippie]

Go for it AJ.... I'm not sure of my pans just yet but like the idea that the folks from afar can be covered with a place to stay.

I'll have some uninterrupted time with Karlos at Dead on the Creek.... Question is how many stages do we throw down tarps?

Hello Festivarian's   
 
 Hope everyone is having a great summer!

As many of you know the campground is still closed for this years Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.

I have been trying to find a house that we could share next to Golden Gate park for the Festival.
 
First the bad news, The 6 bedroom for 16 people i found was rented when I returned home from RockyGrass  :  (

Now the good news,
 I found a much better place just recently restored and made available for rent just this week, I have rented & paid in full for an  8 bedroom 6000 Square foot  Luxury Mansion that sleeps 20.   In the San Francisco Central Haight Ashbury district (it was the world famous Haight Ashbury Free Clinic) only 2 blocks from Golden Gate park!!!!!!!   :  )

The house is amazing. 
 
If you want to book a room in the house please drop me an email. please be aware that payments for the rooms will be needed immediately, as I have paid in full already.  Rooms will go to festivarians that have attended HSBF camping with our group previously, any space left will be offered to newbies.

Once I know who will take the rooms we can talk about food and drink options for the house,  I am thinking about making the house an all in package with food and drink included.
Your thoughts are appreciated. also if some of you would like to arrive on thursday we could move in early if enough of us wanted to.
also if you are interested in touring wine country before the fest let me know, as I am thinking of renting a van and Connie has offered to be Designated driver for a tour of napa/sonoma.

The 2  suites in the house with private baths one with Jacuzzi and terrace will cost the most,  the other rooms all huge with Queen beds will cost about $350 and is for up to 2 people per room for 3 nights. some rooms have an extra rollaway/Couch in them and can fit up to 4 people in a room.

There is Parking for 4 CARS in the Garage.  Those will run $40 for the weekend per car.  Parking in SF Hotels is about $50 per night!

Hippie Jerry, Karlos, Connie and I will be working on some tarp options and getting this all together.  stay tuned for more info on that.........

Is anyone getting excited yet????

Peace & Festival to you all.........A J

only a few spaces left in the mansion....... Pirate larry time to get your rez in.

A.J as I mentioned we will be staying not too far from there in a resort that is already paid for. We will be looking for time on the tarp and will pay our share. Let me know what the cost will be, and how we can help out. We plan on being there on Saturday and Sunday!

Jerry, Karlos and A.J.

I will be attending HSBG this year and will be stayiing in the city. I plan on having one other person with me and we look forward to tarp time on Saturday and Sunday. Let me know what the cost will be, and if we can help in anyway!!!

[A J]

  Hi Larry
I would say about $25 per day for food, Drink, and cost to set up tarp.
We have hired someone to come in early with all the stuff.

See you soon....A J

It would help me plan lunch menus if I knew of any special food/diet needs.

I know we have at least one vegetarian ( Michael) and that AJ Really likes San Francisco Sourdough baguettes.

How many beer drinkers are there?

Any one else?

[Pirate Looks at --]

Well as you know I am an equal opportunity eater and drinker. So is Annette so we will be easy. I will most likely bring a couple bottels of wine as well. Will the tarps be marked like they were last year with the big pole with the flag on it? My cell is 916-505-5647 if you guys need any help. So count me in for two and we will bring money!!!!!
