TheReunion/Bearsville '99

EDA Gathering

Note: Directions to the Bearsville Theatre (for the HGH Workshop) will be up sometime Wednesday July 14th


 


Disclaimer #1: Jewel will NOT be at this event.

Disclaimer #2: This event takes place the weekend BEFORE Woodstock 99, which is nearly a 4 hour drive from Woodstock anyway. While some list members are taking in both events, Bearsville '99 is NOT an "EDA gathering" for Woodstock 99.

Disclaimer #3: Dennis Harris WILL be at this event.

EDA fun scheduled for Friday July 16th thru Sunday July 18th

If you can give a ride to EDAs who really, really don't wanna walk to Bearsville, please visit the "Angel Needs A Ride" page (link below) to offer your services!!! :-)

If you plan on indoor lodging (wimpy ol' me always does), you may wish to show up on Friday the 16th, as many of the lodges and B&B's in the immediate area require a two night minimum on weekends. (in previous years, most folks showed up at Steves' Campsite on Friday anyway)

OK, What bands have you got lined up and how much are the tickets?

No no no....this ain't that kinda Woodstock event. This is just a little ol' EDA gathering that was born in 1997 and has developed into an annual event to enable the subscribers of our Jewel fandom community to get together and hang out for a peaceful fun weekend in the Catskill Mountains of New York State.

Basically, it's as simple as this. Many folks believe the Jewel list was really "spiritually" born when Hiranya first announced JewelStock in early June 1996. (Hiranya was then the lists' main contact with Jewel and her management, as she worked for Jewel in the office)

The JewelStock event itself was quite special, and many friendships were formed during those three days in Woodstock/Bearsville in July 1996. Since then many "EDA gatherings" have happened, arguably due to JewelStock, with most of them occuring without Jewel anywhere near the place (i.e. EDA gatherings generally are not featured around a concert of Jewel's, although some are).

Two years ago, as the first anniversary of JewelStock rolled around, the idea for a major reunion/campout/EDA gathering in the Woodstock/Bearsville area surfaced, thus Bearsville 97 was born. The next summer we had Bearsville 98. After much intense brainstorming via conference calls, we decided to name this years' event Bearsville 99.

BV 97 & BV 98 were rousing successes, as over 50 people attended at various times of the 1997 three day campout, and last year it was nearly 40. These times musical entertainment was not part of the event, and it wasn't needed, as list members pretty much hung out and had fun, took in the Catskill Mountains, went to Woodstock to be hippies for a day, partook in whatever asylum-induced fun our lunatic Entertainment Director (Dennis Harris) surprised us with (you can BET this years' lunacy will revolve around plywood bovine :-)

Previous years' EDAntertainment included.....

and pretty much having a good ol' nature filled weekend.

Sooooooooooo, this year we plan on doing it all again, as long as Dennis doesn't plan to surprise us with Photon Torpedo Tag ;-)
 



 


OK!! I wanna go! I wanna go! Who do I write? Do I need 60's clothing & love beads and tie-dyed tees and tunes by the Supremes, The Buffalo Springfield and Jefferson Airplane and far out groovy kinda things like that?

For camping and general Bearsville '99 information contact Tammy "the EDA Mommy" at BRSVL99@aol.com That's BRSVL99@aol.com if you can't read the red link.

For carpooling info, contact John at rider24@worldnet.att.net (rider24@worldnet.att.net)

For 60's clothing & love beads & far out groovy things like that, bring $$. Woodstock is chock full of shops that have this stuff. You can bring any tunes you want, but tradeable angelfood is always a must at EDA gatherings :)

The Woodstock logo is not by me, originally designed by the operator of the now extinct Woodstock Institue of Technology webpage.

The Jewelstock logo was in fact blatantly stolen by me from Dennis Harris, and there ain't one stinkin' damn thing he can do about it....not that he'd try anyway. Why? Because he's yella, that's why.

This page was designed and recklessly thrown on the internet by Mike Connell. You can direct kudos, flames and/or threatening letters to me at..Ducksoup@quackquack.net
