So, John should write "Going to the Mountain Goats Get Together", and perform it there... it'll be like the t-shirt song... a one-time thing, and all of us who go up will be able to brag about it "Oh yeah, I was there for Going to the mountain goats get together!!"

ehh, it's late...

it was actually 2 7"s btw and the mastering date was 5/1, I cancelled it this a.m.

This is why you should be nice to everyone.

Except if these comments are anything to go by, then we'll all be there. Who will we brag too? Randoms at the bus stop? Old ladies riding their gopher carts? Sad faced emo boys in their simple plan t-shirts? Because I just don't think they'd appriciate the awesomeness. Well, the old ladies might. Do you ever get the feeling old ladies know more than they're letting on? I bet they go home and jam out to Jimi Hendrix whilst eating their all-bran. Or something. Maybe I should go to bed? Maybe you should go to bed.

Early September would be amazing.

Price of international flights-wise, Sept will be better than June/July...a bit.

people how important is the "summer" aspect of this? 'cause I'm thinking early September if that's possible

Yes, please! We're there.

I'm absolutely keen to do this and yeah I'd definitely come all the way from Sydney. September is probably best only because A) it gives us antipodeans more time to sort out tickets etc. and B ) I have ALWAYS wanted to see east coast US in the autumn/fall. I think it would be beautiful

Seriously, I'm there.

I think I could swing early September...

um, ok, I totally have to take back my vote. I forgot about a 2-week end of August begining of September job I agreed to. so it would be close to impossible for me to go then, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't. I just might have to build a time machine or something.

my last post got eaten, but there's no no no no way i could go in early september. but i mean, if that's what's best for everyone else, that's what's best for everyone else.

Sad. My semester starts in August!

Can't think of a better way to spend a camping trip. And upstate NY is gorgeous in late summer/early fall!

I wishhhh I could totally do this. And if it were three years from now I totally would. But I am uber poor and as I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be any time before May 15th, a ticket from Texas to NY state would be way expensive. Now... if you did it before May 15th I might be able to hop on a train from Boston despite preparing for exams and writing term papers...... haha. I'd totally get a C in sociology just to go!

Agreeing with someone up there about a show for each hemisphere. People might claim that it would ruin the novelty/point of the super hardcoreness of it all... but pshaw. POOR COLLEGE STUDENTS. Seriously. (I mean, NY people don't even have to be hardcore other than to brave some camping. Haha. )

Also... two would mean more donations!

I vote for Texas (of course I'm biased), but if two were done the other would probably be in California, I'd assume. But Texas has good camping spots! And is just as hot as California!

hell fucking yes. how will we know if you decide to do it?

i'd be so so so so so so down if i were able to find someone to haul my ass to upstate ny for this.

& since everyones throwing in their own suggestions for date & location how about the basketball court outside my apartment complex [in coventry, rhode island] on june 21st, my birthday [as well as the first day of summer].

i'm dreaming, of course. upstate NY would work pretty much better than anywhere else in my opinion. unless we could get at a farm or big campsite.

this would be really wonderful, john!

The important aspect is advance warning.
I'll be in some remote part of the Yukon by then and will need time to get out.

Oh sweet lord if this happened I'd be there. It would probably more than break my bank but there's no way I'd be able to pass this up.

this is really really weird. first time i've been on your website since the new forums, and i find this...as though you've read my mind, except that it took a full year for my brain waves to get down to north carolina

i have a house upstate (NY) with a large field and tons of space (i live there and in brooklyn). i had a fairly big event there last summer and toyed with asking you to play, even going so far as to ask a close friend, who's tight with vanderslice, if you might be interested. he was game to ask but i felt like a fan/freak, too embarassed to ask...

i was going to offer money and/or i'm involved with a farm animal sanctuary up there and thought it could be a benefit for them, or another shelter.

ummm, yes? maybe? can i help?

i assume you can get my email from your data base whatsit. i'm shy for real and digitally, (this my first post ever on any forum, except a save-the-wolves petition i ranted to last year) so won't put more info here...

find me, if you want. or i'll try to find you through vanderslice ...

if it's in september, please at least make it a Saturday or Sunday.

kingclovis it seriously is like we're brain-aligned right now. please write me (sangiovese@themountaingoats.net) there's actually stuff already in play but we should talk and coordinate with the other people I'm talking to

ooh. please not the weekend of sept 1...

blah seattle pisses rain on me once again

but it would be cool to follow john around the country like a deadhead

I'm there.

I would try my hardest to be there, but would also beg for it to at least be on a weekend if in September.

See, I was thinking southern hemisphere more in terms of, you know, Australia?
