so, ive never been to this event, but it seems to be a big thing in the traveler community now. what if im not a big fan of folk music? is it still worth going to? whats going on around this besides the music (if anything?)

 

[Sydney]

Doesnt look like theres anything to it but folk music.... so you prolly wont like it unless you like folk music.

Go to bumpershoot, way better than folklife: http://bumbershoot.org/

 

[suzie fox]

i think one big thing folklife has going for it that bumpershoot doesn't, is that it's free.

 

[Rolling Blackouts]

Folk Life is an acoustic clusterfuck hoedown of dirty kids having a jolly good time. Would recommend it to all.
But the Squat Lyfe afterparty is where the real fun is to be found.

 

[40 Hands]

This sounds pretty awesome, if i somehow make it out there in time ill totally check that out!

 

[Matt Derrick]

where do you find the squat lyfe after party? im making plans right now to be up there for this!

[Matt Derrick]

[bradbradidea]

Just made it from norther MN to southern CA now heading up there! and im down to kick at if theres a pn camp

 

[Agni Riniari]

PN Camp, definitely. I wasn't planning on being up here still, but, seeing as how I have never gone, I think it'll be worth it. I have no idea where we should kick it, though. Any ideas, people? Otherwise, I might just start tagging signs and arrows towards some random spot the day of. ;P
