That was never an option Tom. These particular neighbors aren't being easy to work with. I have stayed in touch with the venue owner, and no suitable resolution is in sight. This venue change is actually a good thing. It might have an adverse affect on some aspects of the gathering, the positives still outweigh the negatives.

At this point we aren't certain what effect this might have on some of the lineup, but we shall keep everyone updated with any changes. Jess and I are going through the process of contacting all those who were slated to be involved with the gathering.

This is the same venue that the yearly Myschevia Regional Burn is held at, as well as the Revenge of the Space Hippies gathering. It is a very beautiful venue nestled inside of a thick forest. Big trees, nice green meadows, blackberries, swimming area and wildlife are all here in this East Texas venue.

armadillo acres is the shit. we are gonna get so fuckin loud in them woods! i think this will be better for the 2 day outing. more shade and a source of water to cool out in.

I really hope that the original line up stays very close to the same.

But yeah, AA is very beautiful land & I'm looking forward to being able to explore it more.

So far so good with the exception of Aaron and David Rhymes. Still waiting to hear back from a few people though...

Hello all......

Thanks for bearing with us as we have traversed the bump in the road that the change of venue has brought. We have had to make some minor changes to the lineup, but it has allowed us to branch out to some new artists who we didn't have space for at first. We have a renewed sense of creativity for the new venue that we have for Southern Oracle. We are poised to make this gathering even better than we had originally intended. We are just under a month away from our gathering, and we are looking forward to seeing all your beautiful, smiling faces on the dance floor

Rawkin! Maybe I can learn a thing or 2... This "Physical Embodiment for a Long Night" sounds pretty cool!

Well, looking forward to throwing it down in my old stomping grounds again.

For anyone who is looking for a short getaway from the venue, maybe something to do on Saturday afternoon, Daingerfield State Park is very close by. There is a pretty big lake with swimming and a nice big floating platform you can swim to and paddleboat rentals and some great trails.

Also, for those coming in from the DFW area on I-30, remember Winfield / Millers Cove is your last chance to buy beer en route to the venue.

A few updates to inform you all of.....

The new back side of the flyer is up. Smitten Space Kitten has been added to the down tempo lineup. Jacquelyn is joining us and will bring her beautiful and groovy female energy to the decks. We are also excited to have the wonderful and talented Lydia Marolda to lead us through an hour and ten minute yoga session. Be sure to bring a yoga mat or a blanket.

[MsLuckie leo]

Bring on the yoga mats! You know that is going to be nice after a night full of dancing...
