This totally epic, space-themed sonic ritual takes place in the middle of nowhere in the sticks of northwestern Wisconsin. This is not an all age event open to the public. This is not a place for 15 year olds. Chances are if I don't know you and you don't let me know you're coming, I will tell you to go home. YOU MUST MESSAGE US FOR DIRECTIONS. The land is owned by my father and uncles and they are nice enough to let us throw an annual rager out there. Last year clean-up was not exactly acceptable and things were kind of a mess, so this year we have a few strict and crucial rules you must follow (or Sontag the Aryan Barbarian will beat you down). They are as follows . . .
1) Not a single can/bottle can be left on the property. To enforce this and save clean-up time in the morning, you must bring back your empties in order to get more beer. Also, EVERYONE must help clean up in the morning. No questions asked.
2) Fire stays in ONE PIT ONLY. Last year some people started their own fires by their tents. It wasn't a big deal but, when there are more fires to regulate shit can get out of control and someone would end up buying a charred, 75 acre piece of land.
3) NOTHING BUT WOOD in the fire. Last year couches, tvs, and everything in between was burnt and my uncle wasn't happy about it.
4) Stay off the deer stands. They are old and shitty and you will get a 2 foot sliver through your gut if you try them.
5) If you have to shit or take a lady-piss, use the latrines that we will supply. Yes, they will be privatized. Otherwise just piss on the edge of the clearing near the woods.
6) NO, ABSOLUTELY NO FIREWORKS. I purposely scheduled this the week after July 4th so no one would be temped. Shit's way too dry out there to risk it.
7) If you're not in a band YOU WILL PAY $15 OR YOU WILL LEAVE. No questions asked. $15 gets you 2,009 beers and over 15 bands, no complaining. These bands need gas money and we need money to pay for the beer.
8) THIS EVENT IS SPACE-THEMED. If you are a party-pooper and don't dress like something from outerspace, you will be subject to ridicule and ALIENation.
EVENT DETAILS:
Music will probably start around noon on Saturday, June 27th, so show up around then or earlier (but not the night before). Bring extra money for merch and the hot dog stand. If everything works we will be selling a limited amount of 2009: A BEER ODYSSEY t-shirts for around $10. If we don't get through all the bands that night, some can play a hangover set in the morning. Here are a few crucial items I suggest bringing:
- Water
- Tent/blankets and tarp
- Bug spray / wood tick repellent
- Food and extra beer. (last year we drank 1000 beers in 2 hours so it could only take 4 hours to run out of 2,000 this year.)
Yeah, rules suck. But so does not being able to do this ever again. Thank you for reading.

cross exam stole my beer better hide it better next year 1000 brews gone in a flash so they decided to raid my stash couldn't do shit they'd beat my ass
Unfortunately we're playing our record release party that night in The Entry, so we can't make the actual festivities. Rest assured though that we will contribute heavily to the 1000-beer count!
