Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2011 10:57 pm Post subject: Cow Con III: Oct 13-16 Athens, Ga |
|
|
After consulting with several other veteran FFA posters, we have decided to officially make the Athens DM show COW CON III.
For those not familiar with Cow Con, it is a gathering of Dead Milkmen fans, mostly from the FFA, to finally meet up after engaging in online conversations for sometimes months and years. The first Cow Con took place in Philadelphia in November of 2004. Many loyal longtime Dead Milkmen FFA posters attended the show and used that as an opportunity to spend the weekend with each other including, Mang The Goat, KKsuck2, Tarantula, FrankieAndAnnette, Doctor Love, BigtimeOperator and more.
It would be four years until another Cow Con was held when many FFA posters met up and spent the weekend together in Austin, Texas at the Fun Fun Fun Festival.
Now, in 2011, 3 years since the last Cow Con, We are happy to announce Cow Con III will be taking place in Athens, Ga for the Athens Pop Festival.
For those posters wanting to join us for the weekend festivities we have already done most of the grunt work for you.
The concert will be taking place at the 40 Watt Club located at:
285 East Washington Street, Athens, GA
The website for the venue can be found here:
http://www.40watt.com/
As for hotel we have looked at many different options and have decided the OFFICIAL hotel for Cow Con III will be the Days Inn Athens. It is located 0.6 miles from the 40 Watt Club (11 minute walk according to Google Maps) and it's $71 a night (that includes tax). If you put 4 people in a room that comes out to only $17.75 each. Not to shabby I think.
Here is a link to the hotel's website. It is NOt where you find the rate I posted:
http://www.daysinnathens.com
While we will be posting more information here regarding Cow Con III, you can get the latest information by “Liking” the Cow Con III Facebook page located here:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cow-Con-III/127900643905520
or you can follow Cow Con III on Twitter @CowCon3
You can also contact either myself or Cult Leader Lettuce.
Finally Cow Con III is no way affiliated with the band. It is simply an opportunity for fans of the Dead Milkmen to meet up, drink, socialize and have fun together all weekend long.
We hope to hang with you in Athens. _________________ Gather round me everybody

Some notes:
a. I am currently being told that separate day tickets will be available in about three weeks. As of last month, I was told that separate day tickets will be around 15-20 bucks, but we'll see what happens when they are officially up for sale.
b. Full fest passes (October 11-15) are $70 bucks, and can be purchased here: http://www.ticketalternative.com/Events/14767.aspx#.TjLIEI1pzJE.facebook If anyone wants to do the full fest, that's the way to go.
c. We like beer. We're fun people to drink with.
d. Did I mention that we like beer? I did? Good. _________________ The unofficial archivist. Keep digitizing those old recordings everybody!

Dammit. There's totally a typo in my email address but I just friend requested you on facebook. *rant* I hate facebook because I have to go searching again for all my myspace friends and adding everybody again and the thing is so fucking inferior and a step backward. Now, I get informed when any person gets a thought in their fucking head like "oh, I love air and food..". And I can't communicate honestly on the site cause my parents gave me friend requests and i can't not add them.
Yea, so add me, Mang  _________________ happy cows give sour milk. |

I've declined my Dad and my grandfather. Not that I am up to ANYTHING that bad, but it is a weird whatever. I have some relatives and work folk on it as well, so mine is mildly censored too. It's a shame I have to censor myself at 34, when I've been out of my parents' house for like 11 years. _________________ "Nobody likes a quitter.
