2023 Shroomery East Coast Gathering- North Carolina - Cancelled 6

Edit 2/16- Apparently there's been some drama between the organizers and the festival is now cancelled this year. Maybe next year!
Cross-Posting this from the Gatherings forum since there's not much activity there and tickets may go quickly, if you're interested please vote in the poll in that thread and/or send me a PM https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28149091
I've been chatting with comedian/podcaster Shane Mauss, this summer will be the second year of a festival he's put together called the Mind Under Matter campout. It's a small psychedelic-influenced festival based around non-stop music, live podcasts, science talks, comedy shows, and art. There are all sorts of other events as well such as yoga, psychedelic talks, mushroom hunts, etc. It's a very small festival, last year there were around 300 people I believe and it will be capped at 600 this year. I went last year and the vibes were great, it's a giant property so it's as loud and active or as secluded and peaceful as you want it to be depending on where you go.
He's offered to host a shroomery gathering at the festival with our own designated camping area on the property. Last year I ended up with a spot right on the lake.

Here's all the info from last year's festival: https://mindunderpod.com/pages/campout (not updated, all dates/info are from last year) The venue: https://lakesideretreats.land/

Since it's a multi-day festival with paid performers all days, it does have a price tag. Depending on how much interest we get it sounds like he's open to a bundle price. As it stands it sounds like it will cost $222 for the weekend (Arrive 9/15, camp until 9/18) for anyone who books before the end of next month, not sure what the price will be after that but it probably depends on if we can do a bundle price.
It's all outdoors, bring your own camping gear or there may be limited rental gear available on site. It's located 20 minutes outside of Raleigh, so there's also lots of nearby hotels for anyone who doesn't want to camp.
I know it's awhile away but I'm just putting this out there now to see if we have enough interest, and possibly lock a price in.

Hmm, I like his stuff. Sounds interesting. So if I stayed at a hotel there's day passes and parking for the day?

Yeah, once you show up they give you a pass to put on your dash or something and you can come and go as you please. I actually stayed at a hotel one of the nights because I wanted to check out Raleigh

Definitely. I've been to lots of live events and this one was special.
The earlier the better for anyone looking to go, just vote on the poll (link in the OP) and send me a PM. So far it looks like we have 4 people based on PMs.

I can pick you up at the airport whenever you get in. I'll probably be driving down from Boston, we won't have to worry about angry rental car guys at the airport making accusations this time 
If anyone between Boston and NC needs a ride I'll probably have a couple seats free

This (ECG in NC) I'm down for 100%. Count me in.  
  
I'll revisit this subject and you (/feevz) later today or so after some much needed shuteye. I think I've either been to this same festy or another one incredibly similar to it. It may have even been located in or around the sameish place as shown in your OP links, iirc.....
Or, It is possible I'm thinking of Magical Forest / Electric Forest (smallish / priv land psych fests camp out, trip out, do whatever)...ah idk.
Either way, it will be cool.

Yo feevers, I think the festival is the 9th thru 11th, or at least that’s what the website says?

Quick update on tickets/pricing:
Tickets will be capped at 600 people this year. Their goal is to keep it as a small/intimate festival, but to sell enough that they won't be hemorrhaging money like they did last year. Shane lost pretty much all of his savings since he funded everything himself, but they were expecting that for the first year
He's willing to provide us with our own shroomery encampment area where we're free to build it up/camp as we please, we'll have our own communal fire pit with free firewood included.
Based on what he's said so far:
Those booking before 2/22 will get the $222 entry fee, which will be for any of the first 222 who bought tickets last year and the people they bring... which includes myself, and likely anyone who purchases by then through me as part of the gathering
People who book by the end of march will be eligible for the $222, but will pay a nightly camping fee, so likely in the $300 range total.
After that tickets go up to the planned base value. $222 was planned to be a 50% off early booking rate (they'll be booking the performers/events based on early interest numbers), so base value will likely be around $450. Not sure if there will be a camping fee on top of that, but it looks like $450 minimum for anyone booking after March
He said they're considering an early deposit, so you can put a certain (not sure the amount) amount down before likely the Feb or March date and be locked in to buy at the $222 rate.
No word on day passes/prices yet. They did them last year but not 100% sure for this year at the moment
Based on interest and how well things went last year, I'm expecting it will sell out fairly quickly. So if you're planning on going I'd recommend PMing me within the next month to sure up your spot.
I'll be pretty busy with work so won't really be coordinating anything, it'll be first come first serve in terms of whoever PM's me getting the purchase links at the discounted rate
So far we have 5 definites willing to get tickets ASAP, and 9 that have said they're down barring any crazy external circumstances or haven't PMed yet. I wasn't expecting this much interest 8 months in advance but that's great considering the limited ticket amount

I'm interested. I live in the Raleigh area. I haven't seen much info about the music. It says it plays from 2 to 2. What kind of music is it? Are we expecting some fine psychedelic women to grace our presence?

We’ve had pretty rough experiences making these things public.
I think a lot of vetted people are more apt to go if this isn’t in the pub.

It's an open festival so it's a public event by default, anyone who doesn't want to advertise that they'll be there can just PM me and not post in the thread, or buy tickets on their own and just show up.
