As someone who’s born and bred a “Joisey Girl”, it’s expected that I should bow down and pray to all and everything that’s good about the northern and central part of my home state.
You know, the music scene in Hoboken, the arts in Montclair and New Brunswick. Jon Bon Jovi grew up ten minutes from my hometown, too.
And, of course, I should be expected to kneel down at the “Temple Of Bruce”, and kiss his feet because he’s from “Da Shore”.
So, let’s see…Hoboken is expensive and incredibly difficult to get to via public transportation, you can’t find parking during the weekends in Montclair or New Brunswick, and while Bruce and Jon are off doing great things, my musical tastes just aren’t geared towards them any longer.
I know there are a lot of people my age that will gladly spent $300 and up for a ticket to see Bruce and the gang, but I’m not one of them.
I’m well over the idea of spending that kind of money to see tired old bands again. I had a free ticket to see Bruce two years ago during his solo tour, and I wasn’t the only one that walked out.
It’s called being “older and cooler”. ;)
I’m one of those indie music fans who can’t wait to see the lineup for the first “Vineland Music Festival”!
But, having worked with both XPN and Appel Farm for the past six years, Vineland’s in for one huge challenge, since neither of these fests allow camping.
The site is in a remote location, and I’d love to know what the plan is for transporting festival campers.
I’ve heard that $225 may be the price for three days (including camping), but I’m going to throw this idea out to everyone…has anyone heard anything about individual day pricing yet?

Paul and I…well, we don’t camp. Not unless camping includes a king-sized bed with room service. ;)

No, my idea of "camping" after a day of fesitval music is sitting on the sofa with a table, some food, and a couple glasses of wine.
And, hummus! Can't forget the hummus!
