FBFF2017 is September 30! (Scroll down for "The Plan")
THE PLAN:
We'll start camping after work on Friday, and we'll be picking sites, setting up, knocking around, and all that stuff. Random music will play, based largely on the motivation level of the intoxicated musicians present. We'll get up Saturday, drink some joe, then head out on the float trip. Bring your canoes and kayaks! (And your pa
ddles and PFDs) Floaters will depart from the farm at 10AM. We'll have music playing and some games around most of the day. McGill will be cooking through the afternoon. Saturday night we'll start the potluck at 7pm. We'd sure appreciate it if you'd bring a dish and a serving utensil! And then, after we eat...MUSIC! The sweet sound of Red Shoes and Resin juxtaposed with the outlaw country Barnyard Stompers! And if they're sweet, the Barstool Romeos! Sunday we'll go to bed for a couple hours, then pack up camp and wander home. Bring some cool breakfast stuff if you'd like to get in on the potluck brunch! In the past, a few folks have hung around through the day, sorta cleaning up, but mostly sitting beside the river. Feel free to hang around a while. Important: Be a POD"NAH! If you don't know what that is, better learn quick. Other important stuff:
1. You're welcome to camp starting Friday afternoon, and you can set up pretty much anywhere you like. If you make a fire, PLEASE dig back the dry grass, build a fire ring, and NEVER leave the fire unattended. (And please don't build a fire ring in the hay field!)
2. Well-behaved kids and well-behaved dogs are welcome. So are well-behaved friends. (It's NOT "Open to the Public" but your cool friends can feel at home. Just introduce them to the hosts!) The venue is Rated R after dark. Have a plan to restrain/kennel/tie up your kids and dogs and overdrunk boyfriends if necessary!
3. REGARDING DOGS: We have more dogs every year, and for now, we love it! But please think hard before bringing yours. If your dog barks a lot, gets anxious, is too small to play with the big boys, or has ever even snapped at anyone... please leave the precious little bastard at home this weekend. This environment is a challenge for even the best behaved dogs sometimes!
4.a. Rolly gets to do whatever he wants, unless Chip tells him otherwise. Cyrus is the big guy. He also gets to do whatever he wants.
4.b. Chip always tells Rolly and Cyrus they cannot have people food. Please don't get the boys in trouble. (Seriously, for several reasons, don't feed Rolly or Cyrus.)
5. If you have questions or needs up at the farm, find Chip Maner, Mike McGill, or Rick The Man Breeden. Not necessarily in that order.
6. Dancing is permitted.
7. Dropping cigarette butts is not permitted. Please don't litter, and please recycle!
8. When the river begins to rise, the current is VERY strong, even if it doesn't seem to be. Please check with Chip, Rick, or McGill before you or any dogs get into the water. And definitely stay on land after dark!
9. If we find out you plan to drive after drinking, we will take your keys by force and shove them up your ass. You can drive after nature returns them to you.
10.a. Things you might want to bring: Tent or camper, sleeping bag, beer, musical instruments, canoe/kayak, changes of clothes, beer, ice, eating utensils, potluck dish, flashlight/headlamp, beer, camp chair, extra shoes, deodorant, beer and alcoholic beverages, a date, a donation, and beer.
10.b. Things you don't want to bring: Fireworks, low-riders or sports cars, people you wouldn't trust with your life, poison, drama, or cats.
