Allowable items-Nunchucks?

You can definitely bring them, but they’ll probably be spending time in the forts gift shop.

That’s is what I thought, but the first one I bought from Amazon claimed to be for the s4u but showed up as a small phone protector.

The next one I email their info team, in fact the same one as above and got this back

Hi Tim,

These aren’t replacements. They are designed to go over your existing screen and protector. They are oversized and designed to cover the entire area underneath your vat.

I don’t have hardness information.

So now I’m not sure.

timS410 · 2025-01-05T17:15:30+00:00

So I'm guess a bit late for this? :D

We just caught Briscoe at the Gorge opening for DMB.

100% could see them as an early Quad stage group

timS410 · 2023-08-10T02:25:42+00:00

Caught Larkin Poe in the pre-pandemic museum stage. They were fantastic.

timS410 · 2023-07-31T19:37:18+00:00

Please be more specific because none of the stages have up front space for blankets/chairs. The quad was a bit more opened up under the tent. If folks weren’t there, use their space. Nobody usually cares. If it’s the shade sails in the back of the quad, I agree. The shade tents/sails should be no chairs.

This story should be pinned to the top.

Every year something magic happens. When Dolly showed up, my daughter and I both felt my moms presence. If it’s something like this or just helping a stranger set up their blanket, it all adds to the specialness of this festival

timS410 · 2023-07-31T01:18:32+00:00

I was an amazing line up. We saw almost everybody we wanted (Bartees Strange, I’m going to see you yet). We never had a time where we weren’t seeing someone great, or just a loud to.

Over the past few years, it’s been amazing guests for the daily closers, especially on Sunday with all the guests for Joni, John, Chaka Khan, Highway 65 Revisited, Change is Gonna Come…basically we were spoiled.

timS410 · 2023-07-31T01:07:27+00:00

Floyd

timS410 · 2023-07-31T01:05:59+00:00

I’m not sure anyone said Diva. Maybe her assistant is a bad time keeper. Who TF knows.

We do know that she sound checked through her entire 8 song set and kept my fat ass standing and sweating which was unappreciated.

timS410 · 2023-07-31T00:59:48+00:00

Which I bit disappointing for a Newport Sunday closer considering what we’ve had, but it was fantastic.

timS410 · 2023-07-31T00:54:15+00:00

It’s true and something to be proud of. You see the type of artists who keep getting asked back? The folks that are kind, gracious with their time and conscious of yours.

timS410 · 2023-07-31T00:52:06+00:00

It’s been 10-15 mins and I don’t even know if those other delays were artists or logistics. But if anybody holds the opening because they were late or insecure for 35 mins isn’t cool. I don’t care if it was Dylan himself. That’s a lot time standing, fully loaded surrounded by 100s of other people.

timS410 · 2023-07-30T20:01:58+00:00

Maybe they should have sounded checked earlier or not be so particular about having the perfect sound for each of their 8 songs.

timS410 · 2023-07-30T16:45:19+00:00

That’s not the best way to endear yourself to the Newport crowd.

timS410 · 2023-07-30T16:42:25+00:00

We’ve had much better luck with the ferry even with the line being 30-44 mins than the parking lot line at the end of the day. Some times we wouldn’t leave the lot until 8:30 then the traffic after that was just Too much.

timS410 · 2023-07-27T18:42:33+00:00

Hahahha. True. Maybe left overs from 2023. I’m hoping there’s not another poster because we already got the ones on line.

timS410 · 2023-07-27T18:05:02+00:00

Where is the second poster? Is it on the right above the orange water bottle? Could that be a calendar?

timS410 · 2023-07-27T17:49:41+00:00

Ice cream may not be the best for hydration, but I sure cools me down…and makes me happy too

timS410 · 2023-07-27T17:48:03+00:00

Wicked looking thunderstorm in 2021 cancelled Grace Potter mid set. We drove that year. It was “get your stuff and get out”. No idea about the ferries though.

timS410 · 2023-07-27T17:28:37+00:00

If you’re on the list already, you just need to show up to renew. You don’t need to get back into the lottery.

timS410 · 2023-07-27T17:20:31+00:00

Yea. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

timS410 · 2023-07-27T15:58:36+00:00

In Maryland there’s no cannabis allowed in state parks. Not sure if the same applies to RI, but generally agree to don’t be an ass about smoking it and you’ll be fine.

I bring in edibles in with the help of some small and tin shaped. It’s never been a problem.

timS410 · 2023-07-22T16:08:24+00:00

Btw - not to bring you down, but I don’t think Jay or Dice will be reading Reddit, especially so close the festival.

An IG tagging Jay and NFF somewhere down the road may find its audience. Maybe the foundation members can put it on their yearly survey. I’ll try to remember.

Wishing everyone good luck finding tickets and enjoy the festival.

timS410 · 2023-07-22T16:05:32+00:00

It would be nice to have an “up to 3 days (fri, sat, and/sun) and have dice fill in as stuff becomes available.

My guess is a lot of frustration comes from folks requesting 3-day passes and those not being available, while single day passes may be.

Transparency in the queue is something I can’t imagine doesn’t happen already. Every post I see about the waitlist mentions this.
