Ok, everyone. Everything is set. It has been months in the working but it is now moving into place.
And I feel comfortable about talking about all the details.
The organazier of the festival, Dewey, has allocated us a spot where we are going to do the chomp. He has a crew going out a day or two early to get it ready for us. I really have to say, working with him is a pleasure. He is more that accomadating, even when you don't even ask for something. So, as far as the festival goes, we are welcomed with open arms and they are preparing the way for us. Which is a very comforting feeling to know that we are not going to get interfered with.
Dewey, was at the WakaChomp and was just so impressed and so overjoyed to see people just doing something so basic, but creating an impact so massive. So good job again to everyone at Waka this year. (It was a highlight for most people waka (i know it was mine) and was what really was needed for all souls after the night before.
)
For this years, mulberry festival, as many of you knew. I purchased 5 upgraded sites to create Camp Chomp. It was a furious reaction to be in camp chomp....but the people that will be there are some fimilar faces and some new faces to our camp all together. Camp Chomp will be located by the shower houses....and I am sure you will be able to see it. And look for fun things to come from Camp Chomp after Friday Morning, as well.
Back to the Chomp. I have figured that we could try starting around 8am (it is breakfast). I know it is going to be a very slow start. So gathering at the location for the Chomp should start about 8am so we can be up and running in an hour.. Brian Martin (if you remember from last year that he opened the chompdown, well he is doing it again!!!) and will be starting at 9am. The thing with the location of the chompdown (which will be on the other side of the showerhouses....i am assuming down the road some) is that we are going to be able to go as long as we want. Which, I am not saying has to be anything like Waka....but my main goal is to get some good Dirtfoot time in there. With the new album, their set list has increased....and I look forward to varaitions in the set list. And seeing as many different songs as possible. It is an excitiing for those guys. This album looks to be a gem...and I just hope they have some teasers for us.
But I am not asking!!!!
So. 8 am set up. You can come by camp chomp if you need directions to the chomp. 9 am 1st act.....until...whenever...and then Dirtfoot until...whenever.
Don't you love the Freedom!!!!!
I know that we have a few cooks from camp chomp that will be working away. As well as I will be manning a stove. That's right. I am going to be making my mushroom swiss scrambled egg delight. I normally do an omlet...but i think that might be just a bit tough. So....DELIGHT, DELIGHT, DELIGHT. That means that you won't see me running around as much....and hopefully I am going to be able to stay behind the grill....and nothing too extreme will call my attention away.
But I Corree, you may be called into action again. (applause for her work at waka....take a bow, girl.
You slayed it!)
Of course everyone knows what to bring:
Eggs (last year we had so many left over...we ate eggs the rest of the fest)
Juice (sealed) - I can't stress this enough. If you are doing the intake of any food please make sure that Juices are sealed and that any packages are sealed. I know some people have kindess in their heart and want to donate....but they may not have had enough ice in their cooler to maintian they very delicate level something that has been open, must maintain. And its gross...as well as you never know.
So keep it sealed and keep it safe safe!!!!
Bacon - This has become a staple of the Chomp. The band is rep'd by a pig and there has always been this massive love for bacon...and it just makes the eggs taste better.
Butter - I use lots of butter when I cook. So bring a stick, or bring a box. It will get used or given away to someone that will.
Bread - Though toast has never made an apperance at the Chomp. I am still waiting for the ingenious Chomper to do it. Also, bread is good for people who need something to fill thier stomach for a day of drinking. It will help them absorb.
Fruit - This is a totally new item to put on the "BRING", list. But I have been seeing that we have some veggies out there and even though they might be all up and down on some Mush/Swiss/Delight there might be other foods they can't eat. Fruit is a great addition. Apples, Grapes, Peaches, Cherries, Plumbs, and anything else you can think of. Also, is a great way to replace the juice that flows out of us the night before...when the alcohol took it away
ETC - This has been every thing from Deep Fried Oreo's, to Bloody Mary's. So really, if you have a cool idea don't be afraid to bring it. Be creative.
WOW this is long!!!!
Ok, I would love to be able to get some signs going again. Corree (already calling you, my 2nd) you did those ones at waka...right? Still have those. Can you make a few more. As well as any member of Camp Chomp...if you want to make any type of sign...I am sure we will use it.
The sign should say "Chompdown This Way" or something to that effect...and an arrow. Though a sign that just said Chompdown This Way would be a great one to put up and have someone with a camera just snap away. LOL.
Well, that is about all that I can think of to start this post. I am axious to see you all again. It seems like forever and a war ago, that we gathered just to do something for others. Everyone that has helped at the chomp before and is excited about this chomp, you really make me smile. Your selflessness of actions are something that people forget about in this day. There is to many people out there that are in an "I, Me, Mine" mentality (awesome beatles song...listen to it) and we are doing something completely off that chart. Also we create an old school happening each time. Not as extreme in a spun out way happening of old. But the true meanin of a Happening. Ok, enough. So this thread is open.
Create, Give, Love!
