Ok, I would like to drive from Jacksonville FL to Bushnel IL in early July to attend Cornerstone Festival the first week in July (would be my 5th year in a row, but NW Indiana was SO much closer!!!)
Would anybody be interested in making the journey with me? You don't have to live in Jax, but you'd have to be located (mostly) along the way and fairly early on into the drive. (The whole point is that my wife is really nervous about me making the trip alone.) We'd be traveling by Green 1998 muffler-impaired Saturn SL2 if that sways your decision. Once there, you don't have to camp with me if you don't want, but you're free to if you would like. I am going mainly to see Madison Greene, Over the Rhine, Miranda Stone, Seeds, Busker Kibutznik, Squad 5-0, Calibretto, Joy Electric, Infradig Ensemble, Psalters, and The Crossing.
If you think that list is excessive, sorry. There are well over 100 bands playing over 5 days on more than a dozen stages, including POD, Skillet, Blindside, GRITS, Further Seems Forever, and on and on and on.
I would be purchasing my own ticket, I would expect you to do the same. I have no problem sleeping in the car one night on the drive up and back for a few hours so as to save money rather than getting a hotel room, I could use help splitting the gas cost, we'd work out food costs/responsibilities, and we'd be there for wednesday, thursday, friday AT LEAST. (The other festival days are negotiable, I'd love to stay for them all.)

manofredearth@hotmail.com We'd be staying in tents (get your own if you can, but I guess I could share if I had to) and cooking/preparing meals out in the open. You could buy food there in the food court area, but I balk at $8 6" Subway subs and $2 bottled water.
