There are places that you can set up a tent away from the area where the bands are playing. There’s also a few spaces for RV’s or travel trailers, but it’s limited on the amount we can squeeze in. I know several people have talked about setting up a tents just to make their experience last that much longer and it also takes away the chances of getting a DUI or other unfortunate events. If you are wanting to set up a tent, you can come out in the morning or even on Friday just so that you won’t have to miss any of the music.

We have a pretty big field to park cars in, but from the feedback that we are getting it looks like there is a possibilty that we might run it out of space. If you can, carpool so that we can pack as many people as we can in to the Jamboree. Thanks.

We are finalizing the details, but it looks like we will have bus rides back in to town to take you home or to a local motel. Michelle Ball of Ball Transportation is working out the final details on everything for us. Thanks Michelle.

Danny Postlewait of the Javelinas and TJ “Dirt Eye” Johnson stopped by and talked to the Conservatory of Music in Terre Haute, Indiana and they donated a guitar for us to raffle off at the Jamboree. The guitar is a Peavey Generation EXP electric. We are thinking that it will be $1 a chance or 6 for $5. It’s a nice addition for the fundraiser and was something that wasn’t expected at all. There’s talk of putting a Lower T Jamboree logo on the back and seeing if the all the musicians that are playing this years event will sign it on the back. What do you think? Good idea?

Ok everyone we are going to sell T-shirts. We need to know who and what size everyone needs. They will be $15 dollars and $5 or more will goto D.O. it!!! So tell everyone and lets get some shirts around this town ,so everyone will ask where did you get that I want one!!!!A picture of the shirt will be on the page very soon! Thanks  Bump!!!!

Chicago’s Medicine Hat has accepted an invitaion to play at the Lower T Jamboree. Thanks Spiv and Chris for helping to arrange this. This puts us up to 8 bands and a DJ for this years event so far.

Pinnell Motor Inn has offered to give a discount to anyone who attends the Lower T Jamboree. One night, two twin bed room for $55. To contact them to make a reservation, call 1-217-465-6441. You can also visit their website at http://www.pinnellmotorinn.com/ for more information.

Make sure that you mention that this is for the Lower T Jamboree to get the discount.

Thanks to Spiv’s relentless persuit of talent, he’s helped us add The Steepwater Band from Chicago to the list of perfomers. He’s also talked the guys in his cover band Red Pop Fury in to performing at the festival. That puts us up to 7 bands and a DJ for the event. It will definately be a full day of music.

 We have logos available that ONP Signs can print out and cut for us. The attached picture is what we came up with. The white is cut off of the graphic and you can then stick it on the back window of you vehicle to spread the word about the event. We are thinking about printing the date on it or cutting it out of colored vinyl so that it can be changed to reflect each years date. They can be made just about any size, but the ones that we have done at the moment are about 6″ x 6″. What do you think about the logo? I’m also thinking about putting the D.O. it! Edgar County Cancer Support Group logo on it too, just to show what it is for. You can contact ONP Signs either through their website (http://www.onpsigns.com) or through email (mailto:sales@onpsigns.com).

I think that I have all the bugs worked out of the blog. Let me know in a comment if you either have some problem with it or even if you don’t like it at all and think I should remove it from the site.

Thanks.

Michael
