Q. What happens if it rains?
A.

YOU GET WET. Well, actually... We have a large indoor pavillion (6000+ people) , and we will have one stage indoors and one outdoors. The vendors will have the option of having canopies over thier wares, there will be large communal tents as well for vendors and attendees allike, and there will be an indoor vendor area where attendees can congregate to get out of the potential rain.


Q. Where is this damn fest!?
A.

Orange County Fair Grounds, Middletown, New York, USA.


Q. Gosh darnit!! When is this evile fest taking place?!!
A.

Saturday May 20th, 2006, 11am - 3am Sunday May 21, 2006.


Q. And how much does this fest cost?
A.

Approx. $35 each pre-order, $45 at the door


Q. Total Tickets to be sold?
A. Not to exceed 10,000. Get them now, while you can.


Q. Parking?
A.

There is adequate parking at the fairground, where a nominal parking fee will be charged (certainly not more than 5 bucks) and there may end up being additional parking off-site, with a number of busses (which we will paint black and cover in pentagrams and satanic writings) to shuttle attendees back and forth.


Q. DITF Policies?
A.

This is a General Admission, All Ages Show.

Get drunk and have fun. Listen to kick-ass music.

However, do not break our shit, our we will eject you full-force without re-entry. If you wanna do 5 tabs of acid first, go ahead, but dont fucking die at our fest. walk across the street, then die.

If you want to blaze all fucking day, go for it, but if you walk past a mounted cop, and he smells your Gorgoroth sleeveless full of weed stench, thats your problem.

Everyone who wants to drink will be ID'd at the entrance, where tickets are sold and collected. Everyone will be subject to a bag search, just to make sure that you dont bring guns to a knife fight. Everyone who wants to drink will be ID'd, and then be forced to wear a bright pink bracelet the entire day. If you are found drinking without a bracelet, you get one warning, then ejected without re-entry.

There will be booze and Jager fucking everywhere. Beer will be around $3-$4 per cup, and Jager will be in the $2-$3 range.

There will also be food vendors around the fest so you can get your grub on.

Armor, Guantlets, and Corpse Paint are not only permitted, but encouraged.

There will be a best Armor Contest, and a Best Corpse Paint Contest. Winners will receive back-stage passes, and bottles of absinthe. Yes, Absinthe, the real shit from the Czech Republic.

Unfortunately, anyone caught weilding a 6-foot broadsword Faust-style will be asked to put the pig-sticker back in thier vehicle. Battle axes, pole arms, crossbows, sabers, scimitars, daggers, maces, clubs, bows, throwing stars, knives, and any other weapons of war, though great, will not be allowed on premesis, for fucking obvious reasons.

This is going to be an all-day event. Bring a pillow if you want to crash out in your car for a while in between bands. Bring a jug of water to keep in your car. Bring some cash so that you can afford a few beers, and maybe buy a new set of gauntlets or get your (insert body part here) pierced/tattooed/otherwise mangled.

No, we dont profit from the sale of food or alcohol, this is handled by the OC Fair Grounds, through an independant contracor. Its a shame, though.

How do they expect to break 10,000. When HC Crusade couldnt even crack a 1,000? Sure it's in NJ, and not the butt fuck frosty plains on MN. But still:confused:

It's because they haven't released the final headliners yet...to get 10,000 they'll need Morbid Angel, Darkthrone, and Mayhem (with Dead on a stick).

EDIT: And even then, they'll be lucky.
 
seems like a real amateur project this here deal... it doesn't give of an air of professionalism

not saying that's entirely a bad thing but he's probably setting himself up for financial disappointment
 
Couple of things I can almost guarantee about the venue change:

- moved from Stony Point, NY (in a forest) to Middletown, NY because a) it's an actual concert venue, and Stony Point, even though in a wooded area, is much closer to residential (read: wealthy) areas
- Middletown Fairgrounds have AMPLE parking areas, loads of covered & uncovered spots for vendors, etc., in short, they're used to hosting music events there (this part is logical)
- it doesn't cost shit to rent that place, he's probably saving money once you consider the logistical expense/nightmare of actually wiring/powering a concert area in the middle of a forest

And even then, they'd be lucky to crack 5,000.

i think the first post is all done tongue in cheek ... and Erik is right for once, it sounds totally unprofessional ... this one is catering to the momo's of hick town NY State ...
the first thread hyped it up a lot, this one just fucking ruined it.
 
Oh man, I just realized that Oak Knoll is sponsoring this (I'm gonna hazard a guess that they're probably running it as well, which pretty much would explain everything). :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
well, they don't have it now, but they used to have a little paypal button on their site that went "Donate to us so we keep bringing you great music!" and a picture of some lame teenager in corpsepaint above it

come on now...
