Goodstock 2007

Are you guys doing this anywhere around in Illinois? I so, let me know, id love to go!

 

Hiya Goodstockers,
I did some checking and here's what I found out.. the hotels/motels in Summersville and surrounding area are almost booked up, there has beem a mass run on airline tickets reservations to WV, the Ranch has been soldout for a yr, if that is any indications of the flow of things..If your planning to get your tickets at the gate be prepared for a long wait in line, possibly two hours. I'd get my tickets asap if I didn't already have mine. I sure wouldn't want to be standing on the outside while the party was going on in the inside without me.

If you are traveling a long distance I would make sure to already have tickets.. it would be a bummer to travel all that way to find that all the tickets have been sold, same with the folks reserving the rooms and airline rez, get your tickets too. At least reserve them. The sooner you secure your ticket the closer you will be to the ficilities.

We do have limited space for handicaped so it would be best to reserve a handicap space for youself asap, we can't guarentee they will be any left at the gate. Same for us oldtimers with our bad backs and autheritic knees, I would not want to stand in line two hours and miss any of the music and fun fun fun. It's up to you, I was just giving you a heads up.

Brightest Blessings

How do I go about reserving a handicapped spot?

 

If you have your ticket Schulu, get there a day in advance to secure you campsite.. you can park next to your campesite and that will make it easier for many travelers.. I know I feel better parked next to my stuff.

I'm so excited.. only two weeks till Goodstock2007.. ohh yeah!!!

Hi, all, I'm gonna make a little pep talk here.

We owe Larry and gang a great big group hug for putting this thing together for us. It's been WAY TOO MUCH for just a few folks to handle by themselves, but they have done it anyhow, taking money out of pocket, taking out loans, putting names and reputations on the line, and dealing with a million problems just to get it done. It's no different than gambling actually, because no one can really say what the end result will be until it happens. So if it were not for folks willing to gamble this would not be happening at all. We all need to reciprocate by helping in our own ways to make this a worthwhile gamble. It is up to US, the fans and the bands, NOT LARRY and ARTIE, to make this a most memorable, beautiful, and kind experience. The eyes of the world will be on us. Let's give them something wonderful to wrap their heads around.

We MUST NOT forget the land owners!!! I know from years of personal experience how hard events like this can be on the owners. Hard on their nerves and hard on the land, especially if it rains. The Good Evening Ranch, aside from being a tourist attraction and a venue for big horse shows, is a working farm and we should do everything possible to keep our impact on the land to a minimum. This means TAKING CARE OF ALL YOUR TRASH properly. Yup, even cigarette butts!!! It means being totally respectful of areas which are off limits. Not only that but being totally respectful of the good folks of Summersville also. Let's NOT make anybody wish they hadn't done this!!!

I am going to suggest some things and I'll be promoting these things while I'm there.
1. I'd love to see folks willing to approach the owners and volunteering to do things like wash windows, muck out stalls, mow the lawn, whatever anybody can think of that goes above and beyond just being there and having a good time.
2. Not only take care of your OWN trash, and completely DISSAPPEAR your campsites when you leave, but help clean up OTHERS areas too.
3. It might be a real nice thing to chip in and help with RESEEDING any high traffic areas which get trampled too much. (NO "fescue", it's real BAD for horses that are pregnant!)
4. Let's "luv up" the ranch owners BIG TIME! I believe they may be a bit sceptical of "hippys", so let's show 'em that hippys are a GOOD thing.

Aside from the obvious perks of being able to promote our music, we have an opportunity here to make a great impression and promote WORLD PEACE and BROTHERHOOD, maybe even start something that could grow into a movement. There will be lots of media attention, I hear tell someone is writing a book, maybe some good videos... Let's USE this opportunity to a POSITIVE advantage!

We (Prophets Thumb - the Horse of a Different Color Ranch folks) are gonna be TENTATIVELY pullin' in sometime Wednesday to set up a somewhat smaller stage for Thursdays festivities while the "big dogs" are setting up the BIG stage for Friday and Saturday. So, we'll be seein' all you guys there.

Peace starts at home.
Earthmother

 

Nice pep talk.....

And I DO appreciate what you're doing. But you shouldn't have to be setting up stages. They hire people to do that. Bands play music.... Has anyone seen a schedule yet? We're less than two weeks out and still can't tell anyone anything. Not even the band mates..... There ARE more people than us that need to be informed.

Goodstock Bands, Please contact Larry for you time slots. You will play either Friday Or Saturday..

Patsy.. thanks for you energy

Tommy hang on man.. we're almost Home.

A schedule seems to be happening on the Goodstock site as of this morning... I assume it's not complete.

Well, Tommy, it's this-a-way. Goodstock was almost HERE on the Horse of a Different Color Ranch. We were gonna help with a stage right from the beginning. This thing has gone thru some wild and wooly changes, complete with saboteurs. One reason it ended up at Good Evening Ranch was because the place is BIGGER and has more large meadow areas. The metamorphisis is nearly complete, things have gone nearly full circle and it's back to it's roots. So, we're only doing what we planned for to begin with. And because we decided to put energies into Goodstock INSTEAD of the Always Free Jamfest, I guess we're doin' what we should be anyhow. It amazes me that a group of folks who were total strangers living in totally different states could put together something like this in the first place! Yay for the internet!

I've been talkin' to some heavies in the music scene here in WV. They're sayin' there's not enough in-state advertising. So, PLEASE (on bended knee), everybody get out there and TELL folks! Print up and hand out fliers (if ya got a printer that works)and take 'em to music stores and head shops, make announcements at your gigs, get involved..(I never go anywhere)..
I sent a short press release out to local area media. Other folks could do the same. This is FOR us and ABOUT us and there are just too many damn details to leave it up to only a couple overworked folks. Let's GET THE WORD OUT!!! Come on people....

 

I've been looking..... and if you have found a schedule.... please post it here and on the other forum where we can all find it. It NOT on the Goodstock page. I have asked and asked Larry till I'm blue in the face for it.


There are alot more people than the bands that need it. Fans need to plan their weekend too you know.... and THEY are the most important in my book.

Larry,
So now lets get real......
I know why you did your LLC in Florida....because you can't be sued by anyone that you've written these contracts out to here in WV.... and I don't care about that....
What I do care about is.... that you are a West Virginian...... you contracted my band to play at your festival for $1000 a show..... Man to man.....
I don't care how much or who you screw up here.... but it ain't gonna be me....
I've got well over the $1000 bucks invested in this already without even driving there.....
You knew who you were dealing with from the beginning.... Now put up or shut up....
When do I get paid? When do I play? When do we get the audio and video of the performance....?

Sir......
I've always said.... PLAY.......
Whatever contract you want to go by, you still owe us money.... Send it to our lawyer, or tell us when we will receive it, as we DO get paid BEFORE we play. I've told you that from day one. And I have gone along with ALL the changes....... You book us.... we have a booking page posted...
Read it,,,, head it..... Love It....... If you want to rent any of our equipment, as I stated to you from day one, you may. This is a business..... I know you've been out of it for a while.... Welcome back........ Bring money..... Nothing in this world is free...
Why did you call and book us? Because of our reputation........ Because we bring a party to you...... and give away many dollars over what we're paid worth of swag EVERY TIME WE SHOW UP for Your festival participants....... and others before.... Or you wouldn't have hired us.... Our reputation does preceed us....
Never in my life have I experienced the bullshit that I've had to put up with from you over this gig from any promoter........ EVER....... at any time in the full history of my professional career. All I ever needed from you was a date and time to show up, get paid, and play.... just like you contracted us originally to do...... This is second time that you have specifically stated FUCK OFF you're out to me and I personally and professionally do not have to put up with your adolescent tantrums resulting from your meglomanic state of mind. I DO TAKE PERSONAL and PROFESSIONAL OFFENSE TO THAT.......
And I expect a public apology for it.......
As far as I know...... you have a contract with us..... for us to play.....
Please answer the questions above..... We'll be there. The ball as they say... Is still in your court....
Time, date, to play... when is soundcheck.? When do we get paid.....?

Tommy
PS...... Do you want me to post this one up on the web too?
It'll be there in about an hour if I don't hear from ya. Your public apology can be posted on Goodstock Rocks also.

OKTommy,

lets startover. You took me by surprise. Pushed a button. You are still on the bill if you want to be but all contracts were cancelled weeks ago.
I know you get my emails so check your files. If you deleted it then I will tell you again, all contracts were cancelled weeks ago, even yours.
The primary reason was because 50 pathetic bands didn't even try to sell tickets, or else they have no fans who want to see them bad enough to buy 10 tickets. That was not unreasonable especially for bands who have been on the bill for months. Everything I do comes from ticket sales or from my pocket. I cant continue to carry bands who have no draw. Fans buying at the gate doesnt pay the upfront for the $25,000 stage sound and light and $12500 for tom Kamm, or $8000 for liability insurance or for advances on fees.
Maybe you could get it done for less but the fact is your fans still dont support you or they would buy a ticket if you had explained how critical it was. Rather than sit by while bands and fans do nothing to help make it happen I cancelled everyone. AT the same time I offered to renegotiate with everyone. Essentially if you want to play bad enough you wll take the financial risk with me instead of laying it all on my shoulders. Bands that do want to play, do so knowing there is no guarantee. Period. Same as me. if ticket sales are sufficient to cover my out of pocket with a profit then bands will be paid a portion or even all of what the cancelled contracts called for. I dont know why you are kicking anyway. You contract did not guarantee you an advance on the fee.
ONBky that you could askfor one. No guarantee of delivery. We went over that before. You fee was not due until we sold 10,000 3-day tickets. So even if I had not cancelled you you still might not have gotten paid. As long as you are consulting a lawyer why not ask him to explain that?
Your call now, to play or not.

So you want to put out personal vendetas bc you didn't get your way.. but you still expect to play at GS when you betray the very ones that are trying to make it possible for you to do just that.. Tommy did you ever stop to think that it is these very things that keeps Larry from being able to make the dang scheduel.. you can't bash the boss and not lose your job..you have posted this trash everywhere, you threaten Larry and then get pissy and start shit when he cuts you off.. Larry doesnt have time to babysit you.. yes we are all wating for the scheduel.. now we have one... but you want to stomp your feet and pout, rant and rave. When it's all said and done and you made it public you apoplgise to Larry in private and ask back in..you quit, Larry takes you off the list.. he has to remake the list.. then you want back in.. he has to remake the list.. while you are throwing a tantrum, Larry is behind the sceens with Land Owners, Insurance Companies, Security, Medical, Stage Crew, Vendors, Volunteers, and all the Bands and every ones whining, crying me me me.. I swear I have 12 grandkids and none of them behave as some of you do.

Since Larry has released this imformation on the Goodstock website, I can make a comment, or my rendition of GS since I have been on board for quiet some time and through her evelution.

Goodstock2007 began as a reunion for Larry's band Mind Garage..Larry decided or was inspired to hold a big ole party for garage bands.. as word got out, folks started asking for this band and that band all famous and all with big price tags. Larry said ok I'll try. Some top bands heard bout gs and ask to play.. I contacted several of the bands myself and talked to their agents who agreed verbably to the GS terms and to have permission to list them on the GS website, they even listed GS as firm on their tour page on their websites before contacting Larry. There has been a lot of underhanded dealing and deception going on, but none of it has ever come from Larry, me, Patsy and the other devotees. It has come from corporate greed and manipulation. I can promise you that. I will stake my reputation on it.

I knew a lot of these bands from the old days in The Haight, we were involved with Bill Graham and partied with these bands before and after Woodstock69. I thought Cool Man, I'll call on my bro n sis' bands and we'll have a huge reunion and was then insiried by Divine Spirit and filled with Love Love Love.. it made me feel young again to recapture the essences of what we held so long ago, I was overcome with deep emotion. I felt the joy and love Larry had for the music and was compelled to be led by Divine and flow with it. It was all so wonderfull and was going to be such a sweet party. These corporate bands have lost the light that once was a beacon that guided us to a safe harbour. This is no longer the case.

Everything went smoothly as gs progressed, more and more bands wanted to play.. hundreds of volunteers joined in. The Divine energy spread far and wide.. people were clamoring for bigger bands..we got them as many as we could.. so many it was hard to fit them all in on one stage.. more stages were needed.. more money to build was needed.. more deposits on the big bands..the bigger the band the more they wanted.. when it came time for contracts..OMG their demands were outragous and nothing like we had agreed upon at all.. the riders were phenominal.. Larry could not agree to their terms. They stomped and fumed and threatened Larry. He stood firm. They even conspired against him. ( all this is coming out in my book and more) They quit bc they couldn't break the Spirit and make it about money and power trips. Corporate bullshit. So as Goodstock reaches full circle it has evolved back to it begining, Garage Bands!!

GS was created out of love for the music.. the love that brings us all together.. that spirit force that is rooted deep inside our souls longing for fellowship and belonging to something real. We say it in our music and our song.. It is what we still have and hold.. it was the corporate ivolvement that raised it's ugly head that started all the rumors and crap..

Goodstock will happen.. it's her destiny.. no rumor or disgruntled individual will stop her. GS is Rockin' and Rollin' to Summersville with or without you.

Brightest Blessings to the faithful and the love that guides us.

sh

 

SH, Thanks once again for all you have done to keep GS alive and running. I imagine the stress level is way high for everyone involved as we get closer to opening the gate. You'll always have the nay sayers and disgruntled few trying to put out the negative vibes. In the spirit of 1969, just let it happen man. Think positive happy thoughts. Its all about the music and family togetherness.
Peaceful thoughts to everyone..... Farmout

 

Yea, stress. I feel it. More than usual. Things have not always gone the way I thought they should go either. But none the less, it's going, one way or another. I think EXPECTATIONS are the killer. Trying too hard to force a thing to be a certain way will cause high blood pressure and be sure to disappoint. Everyone has their limits on what they can deal with. That's always at least a two way street. My only REAL expectation has come to be that Goodstock WILL happen.

This is supposed to be my "year off". So I'm simply going with the flow. Whatever I can do in a positive direction towards the goal.

Tommy, I hate it that you are so upset. I LOVE ya! I've been upset a time or two myself. You know. But I tried to keep my upsets to behind the scenes so as not to create more problems. It really does NO GOOD, no matter how you look at it, to toss a bunch of nails in the road at this late date. It's far too late for all that. Now we just need to decide if we want to be part of it or not as it stands and go from there. You know as well as I that there have been many problems in pulling this off. I've only met Larry a couple times. Ultimately, no one has the final say on anything but him. I've just tried to help as best I could. And Shameless Heifer has NEVER met him in person. We're just trying to do good. After all is over with we can go back over these threads and either laugh or cry. But NO ONE knows what is going to happen between now and then. Isn't it better at this point in time to keep personal arguements out of public property and allow things to happen however they will, not spoil or ruin things for others that have no stock in the trials and tribulations of the behind the scenes movie drama? I know all about being angry, believe me... Look at my Calhoun Underground blog site if you doubt that. But anger ain't gonna get it done, and it WILL be done, no matter what. Too late to stop the momentum now. Time to pull out of the mud, put anger and doubts and disagreements aside as much as possible and go on towards the finishline. It WILL be OK. Sending you all the warm hugs I can get away with fer a guy as handsome as you...

 

Hi Farm, Thanks
We are all doing our best to have a good time..to bring this great event into manifestation.. Goodstock is the only festival of it's kind.. no corporate involvement.. no shoving comglomerate products down our throats or being forced to play only certian music. if you were to look real close at these top bands you would see that thay are their own cover bands.. with only one or two original artists, yet demanding more then they bring in. The proof is in the pudding..
To everyone
GS was never about top bands, that was all for you and what you asked for.. yet the ones that asked for it never supported it. So I ask you.. what is fair.. what has Larry done.. bust his ass, morgaged his house and car to bring Goodstock to you.. the people who asked for it all. Larry didn't need GS, he achived his goal reuniting his band Mind Garage, the Party, Goodstock 2007 is for you, the people. In a grande celebration of Rock and Roll steming from it's roots in the 60s.. Garage Bands.

It was pure and simple, garage bands from all over the country applied, most willing to pay their own expense bc the spirit moved them. Then the tempramentle bands, ie the national bands wanted top billing, exuberant deposits, and too many things to mention to the point of excess. Wanting more playtime which left true goodstock bands to cut their time and be moved around according to every whim. Yet they stuck and did not complain. That is the true spirit of gs, not the money hungry corporations. It's a Party, it's about the music and brotherhood and being together to enjoy the festival.. for the love, remember the love.. does anyone care about that anymore.. have we lost the light so completely, have we closed ourselves up in darkness that now we shun the light bc it pains us to see what we have become. GS is a chance to capture the moment, to indulge yourself in the light of the spirit that has taken GS and will deliver her to Summersville in a blaze of glory.

Let's have a jammin' party and have a great time. Lets Rock West Virginia and bring back some of the LOVE LOVE LOVE

Brightest Blessings All
sh

 

well said Patsy.. there's the love light.. see it shining through, Blessed Be for all of the good things we share., love will not falter, love grows and spreads everywhere.. in creeps into the very heart of things. We thrive in it blessed light, nurshing our souls, feeding our spirits. I am grateful and give thanks to Universe for all we have and hold. I give thanks to my people the people that bring the light.. bless us all

sh

 

wow.. i havn't been checking out progress of late and can see many changes. It's sad to see some of this happening and folks like Starla, Patsy having to take valuable time to kewl the temps and keep the vision clear. I hope everyone understands that although I vented on the aspect we had to pull out of GS (our light show), it certainly was not about money, Larry, Goodstock or personal gain..it was the "Man" that was after us for "Intellectual Property Infringement" because we use imagery from films depicting our generations' past, what we grew up with. The "Man" don't care that our Generation lined those pockets of the media in riches; we just wanted to do Tribute to our Culture... a Culture that seems to be up for trampling. I have friends that enjoy their Culture, get public/community and Media support. Whats up with ours, why should we tolerate this?... it is very sad. Our Culture is under the threat of extinction, because we are silent when we should be heard, yet publicly voicing what should not be said and attacking each other.

Just like Starla and Patsy mention here, there are spoilers who through greed, self serving deeds ruin everything. We are heart broken about our part, and publicly want to say we love Larry and all who have put their hearts on the line for Goodstock. Although we won't be able to attend Goodstock, we are there in spirit.
May Peace and Light shine for all.
Robert @ Medulla Arts.

 

Well..... I don't know what you all have been reading..... but I've checked over the last two days (after Larry's EM stating that he wasn't honorig his contract) and I can see that half of the last 30 bands listed on the Goodstock website.... aren't coming....

I love the Horse of A Different Color Ranch Jam.... always have. It was never a money thing.... just come and jam.... and I loved it. This guy comes in though, has everybody sign contracts for this gig, and then backs out of it all hiding behind an LLC in Florida.... and I don't get it. Check it your self.... Go to the Goodstock bands page and start going down the list and check it out.

I'll find out today or tomorrow whats up with us....(in relation to playing) Our new CD will be finished next week still.

Tommy,
I will personally ask Larry take you off the list to play peroid, if you don't stop bashing Larry..are you bitching bc GS is not free..well you wanna get paid don't you.. isnt your beef about money really.

If you even read your contract it states plainly that either party can pull out without notice or liability.. and I have explained this over and over again to you and everybody.. your not listening, you don't care you just want to stir the shit pot bc you are upset about the play list.. you got your spot, so why are you still hammering Larry. If you had to pull out Larry wouldn't be threatening you.

Last week you were gung ho and jumping up and down with the goodnews, GS being the GoodNews. Larry has tried to work with everyone.. he can only do what he can do.
I just got an email from Larry last night that things were going to be ok for GS.

If some of the bands can't make it, it's not bc they don't want to be there, it's bc they can't afford the trip. OK I will say this.. I was asked not to make some things public, bc Larry doesn't want to say this or that bc of changes that do take place..

Why don't you ask Sharon Osbourn why this is the last OZ Fest.. bc she is tired of the bs she has to put up with, with the prema dona bands, she would have booted your butt out the first sign of backstabing.

Tommy, please stop and think before you post.. later you may want to take it back but it will be too late.. If you have a problem, take it up with Larry himself.. he is there for you all if you just ask him like a decent human being and not attack him and accuse him. You don't push people up against the wall and think they will cower under your scrutiny.. You treat Larry like crap and then want want want from him. And you come in and stomp his name into the mud.. Stop IT!! Are you a man or a child?!? I have had it.. You take the love and give nothing back but burnt out crapola. Waa Waa Waa someone call the wa-bulamce Tommy's throwing a tanturm.

Walk IN Balance, Find Your Center, Keep The Love Light Burning.

I thought you a beautiful flower Tommy and welcomed you into my garden with love.. it saddens me to see a weed take it's place and try and choke out the rest of the beautiful flowers that are left.

Brightest of all Blessings to you Tommy, you need them Brother
