CONFIRMED: Tuesday at 3:00
Okay, so yesterday the Ithaca Journal ran an article that claimed that Rabbit Run Road would be opened at 3:30 pm on Wednesday. This is INCORRECT. The road WILL be opened on Tuesday at 3:00. Thanks for sitting tight; we just want to make sure everyone has the most complete information possible!

More Offsite Camping Questions
Got an email today from an old friend of the festival, and he asks several very common questions about offsite camping, so I thought I'd just rock some Q&A here:
I won't be arriving until late Friday afternoon; is it likely that I can still get a site in the offsite camping area?
The super-sweet spots are all going to be taken up on Thursday, but we predict that there will still be plenty of perfectly pleasant camping left by Friday. We cannot, of course, promise anything - it's first-come, first-serve until it's gone, but as we've never run out before, we don't anticipate any problems.
Do we park our cars at our sites or leave them in the lot and haul our stuff back to our site?
You are allowed to do either. We ask that if you plan on doing a lot of driving in and out that you park your car in the parking lot - we prefer that people keep driving to a minimum in the campground area. A run to the grocery store is fine, but 5 trips in and out per day is pushing it, y'know?
Is the price still $40 even if we are using the site only for Friday and Saturday nights?
Yes.
What time do we have to be out Sun night?
Within a reasonable hour or two after the music ends at the main site. Please do not drive home if you are not able to do so safely (even if you are just feeling too tired); let one of our staffers or volunteers know what's going on and we'll help you figure something out... we do pride ourselves on our MacGyver-esque problem-solving skills.
Give a shout if you have any further questions about anything else, y'all!

The Drum Circle
Okay, a lot of people have been asking what the deal is with the drum circle for 2007. The staff and board of directors of the festival have decided, after much careful deliberation, that there will not be an official drum circle/drum dome at the festival.
There are many, many valid and reasonable arguments on both sides of the issue, some obvious and some less so, but after weighing all of them at length, it was decided that this decision will make the most people the happiest.
A few questions have come up regarding this decision, the most pressing of which is "Am I still allowed to drum, and if so, where?" The answer is yes, absolutely! For starters, there will be some semi-organized drumming at the drum sales booth in the craft area at the festival. We also always encourage jam sessions, pickin' and grinnin', and other homemade musical campsite activities. We just request that if your neighboring campsite asks you to quiet down or take it elsewhere, you respect their wishes.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you might have about this issue - we know it's a tough one, but we're just trying to make the best possible situation for as many people as possible.
