<p>Good afternoon folks! <br>
</p>
<p>Tim Hille, the MA A/M looks to be putting something together for
next October down in Goshen Ct. It looks like it could be a
really neat event and a really great opportunity. Go ahead and
read on down. It's not to early to start planning for next year's
riding season!</p>
<p>Question: Is anyone still riding or has the airhead been put up
for the season?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Based on the overwhelmingly positive response to
this concept, I am moving ahead full throttle.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, here are some additional details - </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Black Bear Americana Music Fest - Columbus Day Weekend,
October 9-12 2020, Goshen Fairgrounds, Goshen CT.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I met with Beth, founder of the Black Bear Americana Music
Fest and locked in the plans. Beth and I toured the
fairgrounds and identified the Airheads encampment area to
ensure we would have all the space we needed with an option
for overflow.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><img src="cid:part1.33F9D8F4.BD90226B@gmail.com"

class="" width="955" height="715"><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The karma was perfect at this event. Maybe it was that I
brought along my R69S with the Stieb and took every
opportunity for a ride including taking a kid for a spin
around the grounds after talking to his father about the bike,
but it just felt like an Airhead event, - only one thing
missing, more Airheads and their bikes. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><img src="cid:part2.71D25B74.9D70563E@gmail.com"
alt="image2.jpeg" id="59765A62-80BB-49D8-994D-AD99ABE781B3"
class="" width="1035" height="775"><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When I first approached Beth about reserving an area for
us, I was not sure what her reaction would be to a “motorcycle
club” group area, but she was so excited, she took me out in
her golf cart and scouted the area. She did not even require
a commitment for the number of attendees, but I assured her we
would be no less than a force of 20 mostly bikes and tents.
From our reserved area, we can see the main stage and
acoustic stage and have close proximity to the large bonfire.
The music stops at 11:00 each night, so no worries bout
keeping you up all night, but I cannot speak for the
AirCentral tent guests, you know how they can be. So, pick
your spot strategically. Note, our area will not have
electric or water hookups, but they provide a water filling
station on the grounds, and we will have volume water supplies
in the common cook tent in our section. I will consider
provisions for a generator if needed for such accommodations
as C-Pap machines etc based on request. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Particulars: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- We will have the area on the map reserved and the gate
will have special instructions for Airheads to direct you to
the area when you arrive.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- I will setup a parking row along the access road in front
of the camping area, or you can park by your tent.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- I plan to make arrangements with Beth for us to have a
People’s Choice bike show providing voting ballots for the
festival attendees to view and vote for their favorite bike</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- I will be offering Beth that the Airheads will fill two
volunteer shifts per day at the event. Each shift is about 2
hours helping with selling shirts, taking tickets, or
directing traffic etc. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>*Note - Beth has extended the “alumni” discount for next
years tickets including the camping cost. This is <b><u>40%
off the full ticket</u></b> and camping price brining the
price from $150 down to<u><b> $90</b></u> for the full
festival pass including tent camping. This is a really good
deal, where else can you get 4 nights of camping with access
to hot showers, water and 12 hours a day of live music, not to
mention proximity to some great riding.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b><i>40% discount deadline is October 31st 2019</i></b> -
Yes, this month, so don’t do the Airhead indecision thing, and
procrastinate. I am betting that even the average Airhead can
scrape up $90 for a rally / festival like this, and you can
transfer the ticket to a friend is life gets in the way, but
you will regret it. </div>
<div><br>

<div>Go to this link for details - <a

<div><br>
</div>
<div>If anyone wants to bring a trailer, or RV, you can also
take advantage of the discount for that ticket class, and we
will accommodate you in the AirCentral section, so you will
not be separated off in RV Land with the common folk. The
expansion space that Beth has reserved for us will allow a
tent area as well as trailers and RVs and we can mix it up any
way we want. We will have direct access to our area through
the “North Gate” entrance, and can come and go as we like, day
and night. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To enhance the experience, I will be setting up an
AirCentral tent with the usual hospitality and a group kitchen
so you can BYO vittles or partake in the wonderful food vendor
offerings or any combination you like. </div>
<div><br>
</div>

class="" width="795" height="595"><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is what I ask of you all to help me make this work and
plan for the appropriate space and other assorted Airhead
accommodations. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Book your tickets online with Black Bear - <a
href="https://www.blackbearmusicfest.com/tickets"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.blackbearmusicfest.com/tickets</a></div>
<div>2. Send me a note to confirm you you have booked, and let
me know what your plans are for attendance and accommodations
- a copy of your reservation would help. I am going to
confirm with Beth for each Airhead person so she can track us
as a group and keep the space available.</div>
<div>3. Spread the word to Like Minded Friends - It is not a
requirement to bring a bike, but I promise you will not regret
it as it provides some added fun to the weekend. I want to
keep this to Quiet Pipes and for the most part Airheads Only
so that we stay on the invite list for the following years as
I plan to make this a regular event.</div>
<div>4. Let me know if you are able and willing to serve in 1 or
more of the volunteer shifts and what days you would prefer.
I will work the details of the volunteer crew with Beth using
her system as the dates grow near.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Please reach out with any questions. I am buying my
tickets tonight, and will provide more details as plans
evolve.</div>

</div>
<div>As I reflect on this weekend and enjoy the last
day of music under crisp blue fall skies, I am
thinking this is a perfect Airheads event. It has
all the elements of an Airhead Rally, with the
bonus of 35+ bands and Musicians we could never
get for an airheads event. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am buying tickets for next year before I
leave. What I am thinking is that we should
reserve a block of camp sites and tickets for the
New England Airheads for next year. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Check out the event online <a
href="https://www.blackbearmusicfest.com/"
target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.blackbearmusicfest.com/</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me tell you about it from my personal
experience. This is only the second year of the
event, so it is still growing and is not yet
crowded. I decided to check it out because I was
fed up with the elitist attitude and over priced
over regulated environment of Newport Folk and
other events that no longer speak to the spirit of
the casual family atmosphere of a true music
festival. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example, the camping area is inside the
venue, so there is no coming and going hassles,
you can walk from the main stage lawn to your camp
in 3 min, without running a gauntlet of ticket
checkers and bag searches. At night you can enjoy
the bonfire in the meadow, or the drum fires
scattered around the main lawn, or return to your
own camp and fire pit. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There are 4 stages, plus a jam tent if you are
so inclined. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Each morning I have been getting up, and taking
a short breakfast ride or backroad farm tour and
back in time for the music that begins at 11:ish.
I really like that they setup the main stage and
acoustic stage right next to each other allowing
for performance and setup leaving almost no gap in
the music, and little need to move from stage to
stage to see the acts you want to catch. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ok, enough about the event for now..</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have scoped out a section of the camping area
that I think would be perfect for a Group camping
area with some separation from the noise and light
of the center of the event, but still has visual
and audio proximity to the main stage and a 3 min
walk to the center of the activity and food
vendors etc. you can also easily bring in your own
food etc as a camper at the event. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is my plan - this small, but growing event
enables access to the founders and organizers. I
will be talking to Beth to reserve this area that
will accommodate approximately ~20 festival
attendees for tent camping. I will negotiate a
favorable rate for full event attendance. I will
commit to paying for the sites by a specific date,
or relinquish them back to the event. I will
sweeten the pot for the event by offering to fill
a minimum of 2 volunteer shifts per day as part of
our involvement and contribution. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Call me, email me, or chat next time we meet at
another Airheads event, and I will give your more
info. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think this has the makings of a signature
Airheads fall event, and of course, we will host
an AirCentral tent and likely sneak in a lift for
this unexpected but inevitable servicing needs. </div>
<div><br>

up, 👍 or thumbs down 👎. </div>
