ALERT: THE FORECAST IN COVENTRY The rain continues to fall steadily here in the Northeast Kingdom, and the forecast calls for steady rain all day tomorrow. The festival staff is working as hard as they can to move cars off the road and into the campgrounds, but the weather has greatly hindered this process, and traffic is considerably backed up. For those of you who have not yet departed for COVENTRY, we strongly urge you to not approach the site until Saturday morning or at least Friday night. It’s greatly in your interest to delay your arrival – you will save yourself a great deal of stress and time and help us keep the roads safe. Finally, please call friends that you know may be heading to Coventry and help us spread the word.

It doesn't look like it right now, I'd like to but really can't afford it and I don't have a vehicle so I would have to find someone to talk into driving up there. meh, I wish but I highly doubt it.

Yeah- I just hope it isn't too cold, and that people bring the right clothing and gear. Nothing sucks more than freezing your sopping wet ass off at what SHOULD be a lovely wonderful beautiful show. I hope it works out OK.

You know there is about 20,000 people who aren't prepared though. I think it's supposed to clear off for the shows though, I hope it goes well also. They usually have such good luck with their fest, it would be a bummer for the last shingding to be a mess.

I had to ask my old roommate to drive me up there as the transmission on my car might seize up any time now. She's getting a ticket out of the deal though. And she'll get to see her bf and I'll get to see some friends who recently moved up to the twin cities. It'll be a good weekend, once I get out of this office!

I've got my ragbrai story started in a text file so I can paste it into the post when I've got the whole thing written. My girlfriends camera got a little wet early on the ride so we left it with our gear most of the ride so we don't have too many pics... but I've got a few of our bus and our group and myself wearing biker shorts ;-) I'll be posting it later this afternoon.

August 14, 2004 - Coventry, VT - As a direct result of the severe weather conditions and serious flooding encountered over the past few days, the Vermont State Police and concert organizers, in the interest of public safety, have been forced to limit entry in to the COVENTRY festival this weekend. After exploring all possible options, Police and organizers have concluded that there is no conceivable way to park the remaining vehicles on or in the near vicinity of the concert site, due to the conditions of the grounds as a direct result of the persistent and torrential rains over the past several days.
Effective immediately, all vehicles bound for the concert site not already off Interstate 91 will be turned around and denied entrance to the festival. In addition, roadblocks at additional points of entry have been set up and State Police will be ensuring that people can turn around in a safe and efficient manner.
All ticket holders denied entry to the site will be granted a full refund. Ticket refunds will be refunded directly to credit card holders who have purchased tickets from Ticketmaster and from Phish's online ticketing system. Further details on refunds will be announced in the coming days.
While Phish deeply regrets having to take this action, it is necessary to protect fans as well as residents of the greater Coventry area.
