Oh YAH!  Rock Fest is only 13 days away.

 

 I have a feeling this is going to be a huge year for attendance, be ready for the crowds.

 

1. The Party Zone is all ready to go.  This includes Bong Patrol, Kiss Army, Party Bus and JelloShot Girls.  The area is 42 sites over M80, L80 and N80.  All activities will be active including but not limited to Bongs, Music, Shadow Tent, Dunk Tank and Fires.

 

2. Bent Nail has moved to Triple Platinum Camping (TPC).  For more info On TPC see www.tripleplatinumcamping.com  Be sure to go and check them out at least one time during fest if not more.  They will be doing a tie dye thing on Wednesday afternoon.

 

3. Lots of info at Commish's Site. Check it out here.

 

4. A C-Store 4 miles west in Jim Falls is much closer than Cadott.

 

5. Need a fun Bar???? Jeff and Vanette (long time Festers) bought Bulushi's now called the Damn Shot Bar in Jim Falls (4 miles West), Stop in and check them out. They have AC ,Ice Cold Beer, Tasty Shots, (jell-o and apple pie shots), and sail boat races.

 

6. Your cheapest Beer and Ice can be gotten from Joe LaNue down on the corner of Highway S and Highway 27 (1 mile East of Fest).  You drive right by if coming through Cadott.

 

7. Need Breakfast, The Crescent Bar has a Buffet to die for (1 mile East and 1 Mile North on 27 from Fest) and there is a Restaurant in Jim Falls just 4 miles West of Fest.

July 21, 2005

Hello to everyone. long time no update!  Well the 2005 Fest has past.   WOW What a great fest it was.  Everything went very smoothly.  I have to hand it to the RockFest Owners and Employees.  They made the right changes.  Better Bands and the security and Police backed off of everyone and just kept order.  I have always been quick to rip on them but I feel they are moving in the right direction.  2006 should be even better.  If after last year, you have decided to stay away I would consider coming back and trying it again.

 

Well Thanks to all listed below.  I will be getting pictures up with in a week.  I took a digital camera with this year and have a lot of photos ready.  No more fooling around.  So check back for photos soon.


 

I would like to Thank everyone for a great Rock Fest 2005.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hello, Long time No update.  I know, I know but all I can say is life is busy.  It took Rock Fest till 2 weeks ago to get pictures on their website.  I have received a bunch of very good photos from some BP Fans and I thought I better get them up now.  Click here for quick link.  I still have about 8 rolls of film to scan but will try to get that done Later ha ha maybe.  Next year I need to go digital so I can get photos up much sooner, Well I am working on it.

Thanks and enjoy.

Hello Everyone.  

 

I had problems with my web hosting company and had to move to a new one.  So as you can see the site is back up and running and should stay this way. The company I am now with is www.1and1.com , great deal if you need website hosting and want to manage your own site.

 

I will be posting pictures in the very near future.  Those of you that check here regularly know that it takes me a little while to get them up and posted.  If you have any Cool pictures just send them my way via Email and I will post them.

 

The Big Question - Will Bong Patrol be returning for RockFest 2005?   Well we have not determined that yet.  I will be talking with all members and the RockFest owners and will make a decision  in 1 to 2 months.  I will post all information here for everyone to read.

 

If you know of any Festivals in the 5 state area, I am interested in hearing about them.  Please email me with any info or links so I can check it out.

 

Thanks,

Mettler

More news for those that care.

We have lost a member this year.  Big D will no longer be with the group.  On to other things I guess.

Kiss Army is back with their usual party and will be camping across the street from us to the East.

E and Myself will be arriving Tuesday to start the setup process and will be hanging around the area.  We plan to check out the bars in Cadott and the surrounding area that night including the Drywood Tavern.

 

July 11, 2002

Hello to Everyone.  

Well another RockFest is upon us.  I know that by now everyone is very excited as it is next week already.  Sorry that it has took me so long to update this site, I should have started it at least a month ago if not during TicketFest but busy with life and no real excess. 

For some good RockFest 2002 info be sure to check out The Commish's Site, He has a good campsite list and a small to do list.

We will be having special appearances by the one and only Captain Jack each and every night after the last band has played in the concert area at our camp site (M80).  Be sure to stop by and check it out.  Those of you who are RockFest Veterans know who he is.

We will have all the usual going at our site.  Be sure to get your 2002 Bong Patrol Button, First come First serve, Just ask any Bong Patrol Member you see for your FREE button.

We are also Welcoming some new neighbors with us this year.  The RockFest School Bus crew is camping just across the street from us to the West.  Be sure to stop in and say Hi and get a view from the Deck.

Should there be any additional news before Fest I will be sure to post it here and with that 

EveryOne have a great RockFest.

Thanks, Mettler

I have just noted that the line-up has changed for the Fest.  Queensryche and Joan "Lame" Jett changed places.  The Rock Fest people final come to their senses.  Personally I think Joan "Lame" Jett should be before Air Supply
