[QUOTE="HeavensJail_nli:928069"]Would love to see this happen; following suggestions: 1) Don't be afraid to start small. It's more important to have 100 people show up than to have 20 bands play. Wacken started out with like 200 people, five bands, and a DJ. 2) Make sure that the landowner is cool with every aspect of the fest AND has a good relationship with local law enforcement. The last thing that you want is late-breaking venue change because the guy flakes, or the cops decide to shut it down. Coos Chaos Fest seemed to work, so this if this is the same place as implied in that other thread, this is probably under control. 3) If you do 2 days, do Friday and Saturday. This allows people to have a bang-up time on the last day, sleep over, and drive home in time to be ready for work Monday. It's better to have people straggle in Friday than to straggle out on Sunday to build good vibes if you want to do this again. 4) Similarly, you want to do two days, even if you can only rent/afford to power the PA for one day, so that people can get settled in for a decent day of music. Big fire + acoustic guitars if you want to do an 'event' the first night instead of people just hanging at their campfires, drinking, and playing their car stereos loud...which is going to be in the mix too regardless. 5) Be prepared and work with law enforcement and emergency services from the area going into the fest. If you're able to get a good turnout, something is *going* to go wrong, just from the law of large numbers: some 16-year-old kid will get alcohol poisoning, some idiot will set their tent on fire, somebody will trip over a rock going to piss and break a bone or something. Being prepared for this means that when they get called in, they'll be more inclined to see it as idiots hurting themselves rather than you enabling reckless behavior. Nobody wants cops walking around site to site checking IDs, but they also don't want the campground going up in flames because the fire truck can't get in. 6) Embrace shitty weather. Fest is on rain or shine. Have a tarp or something over the stage to keep the equipment dry in case it rains, and let the audience play in the mud. Still thinking; maybe more later.[/QUOTE]
