UMPH & BISCO IN JAMAICA

GITV!

add Praxis

Are the 'treats' all inclusive as well? :)

I thought VIP concert sections were for yuppy fu*@sticks, but this is getting out of hand. Jamaican resorts? Doesn't sound truly "super-inclusive" if you have to spend a thousand dollars just to get there.

WHOA.

wow i wish i had a job like these guys. it would nice to be sitting around one day and say "hey let's play some shows in jamaica". on the fan side of things, it sounds like a blast, but a little too expensive for me.

yo kangaroo i hear ya, i mean thats great and all but tix start going on sale in may, fuck that, im in school, i need more time to prepare than that. but hopefully ill be there and not do NYE. and it will be fun for those there

Yuppy fu*@sticks? Sorry roo, in case you haven't noticed, many of the shows that you have attended are a microcosm of society. Some people earn a nice living doing whatever it is that they do. Success does not make one a fu*@stick?

I loved knowing that Senator Leahy and Bill Walton were in the crowd at some Dead shows.

See you at the Miami airport holding your finger high beggin' for that miracle!

Bill Walton went to somewhere around 500 Dead shows, Phallus.
P.S. You probably are a fu*@stick.

Everyone settle down... Smiles!

Kangaroo is just jealous. He won't be bitchin' when some yuppy f'stick doctor has to give him a triple bypass in 30 years. Trust me. It's nice to know that there are people at festivals like Kangaroo who will judge me by the color of my wristband. Way to show community bro!!!

I'll be attending and I'm not well off by an means, BUT this kid surley knows how to hustle :-)

bottom line... you do whatcha' gotta do to, to do whatcha' wanna do!

This is not a bad deal at all. 900 bucks(the cheapest) for 4 days in a Jamaican resort!!! This is to see the shows, room, food, drinks, and all other activities.

Ill be there for sure. . camping is fun and all, but has nothing on a Jamaican resort.

community is the point. by physically separating people based on "importance" we end up with separated community. not to mention that i often see the VIP section near the front of the stage at festivals and during the daytime its practically empty because the VIPs are too busy sleeping in their air conditioned RVs (broad generality i know) thereby separating fans from the band. many of the bands have said on stage that this is weird and/or unacceptable. and im not jealous. i just think people who buy VIP passes are fucksticks and the idea of having a concert at Jamaican resorts is just an extension of the VIP section.

you can be successful without being a yuppy fuckstick

This sounds incredible, lucky for those who can go.

Having extra money makes you a yuppy fuckstick?? I dont see how that works, money = yuppy?? save your cash buddy. i save my money to go to shows and i have never been in vip at a festy. but i can save money to go to jamaica, its all about priorities.

enough with all of these people on jambase who make fun of other people. Enough of the "seperating" people do on this message board about certain people's favorite bands and how other bands "suck" and how those fans with few dollars are angry at those who have more dollars, blah, blah, blah... Music is for the heart and soul, jam band musicians do not sing about gats cappin' homies and bitches gettin' the clap and rapein' ho's and killin' other homies and all of that cruel tough guy bullshit, jamband musicians sing about good vibes and real emotions and the glory of dancing and traveling and making love, but soooo many Biscuit, Umphreys, STS9 fans love to say really mean adolescent opinions on this message board. Those folks should stop acting like dirty rotten bastards. This festival looks amazing, I hope I can make it to Jamaica, it falls on my birthday (dec. 14) but if I cannot go I am cool with that, I can see these bands again, they tour constantly, almost all year round.

honestly, pull your heads out of your asses and do some research. i am as a travel agent and 900 dollars to go to jamaica for 4 days with AIRFARE in december (a pretty prime month for warm-weather destinations) ALL INCLUSIVE is a really good deal! add to that the shows, and you're talkin a really really good deal. that being said, i won't be going cause it's a little out of my price range, but still, a really good deal...you can easily drink 100 dollars a day if you want...

my bad, haha, airfare is extra, im the ass...but still not a bad deal

damn good deal...if these bands are your bag...not mine...but it should be an awesome time for all in attendance

"Are the 'treats' all inclusive as well? :)
-Gmoo you are officially the biggest custy on jambase...
....and everyone is right. Unless you are single, a proffessional, or a dealer , you cannot afford shit like this.

im in like flynn. biscuits in jamaica? all inclusive? 'nuff said.

This sounds like tha tits... i realy wanted to go to jamcruise but i blew all my money on h@@kers, redemtion song!! 3 night of bisco in paradise...bomb.com' time to renew my passport...and look for my piggy bank and crak that sh!t open... ThIS festival is definatly for ppl who make easy $ pimpin whoes in style, or ppl who who work hard (without hoes) that want to pimp it super hard- p.s i would drink 200$ of booze a day

A big fuck yeah to SLAPPY and to up the ante I could see an easy 225 tab for me

Damn, this sounds awesome, too bad it's so expensive and during finals week! If only it were a week later I might try to get the money together for it.

Let's hope the Biscuits get added to JitD!

I'm upset with Keller and the Duo for taking part in shit like this. It's not surprising that a "festival" (I prefer to call it an all-call for trust-afarians and whatever else scum has enough money to go to jamaica to see horrible jam wannabe trite bullshit) of this sort is eliciting such negative commentary as seen above. Umphrees and Bisco represent to me all that is wrong with this new-age jam scene. All Umphrees is is damn Phish with a twist of prog-rock, and all Bisco is is damn electro-new-age-get-fucked-up-on-mollie-ex-whatever on your momma's bill bullshit. You sick fucks who are going to this are doing nothing to help anything. Enjoy.

funkmeup you are a straight up fuckin loser. shut up. thats all i cant really say cuz you're just an idiot, and i dont care if u reply back cuz i will still think you are fucking dumb so that's it, im done here

funkmeup and groovinkangaroo will be sharing a tent at each festy this summer. They know more about the jam scene and people in general than anyone.

Both of you are probably in college (which is GREAT) ....look up attribution error. While your figuring out why your so judgemental, 800 fans will really be "funking and groovin" on a beach in Jamaica this winter.

I love you both but your misery sucks - Peace!

Me and Mark (the original bassist) from Disco Biscuits used to fish together up at the St. Lawrence every summer back in the eighties. The biggest fish he ever caught was a 42 inch northern pike, so we cooked it up that night and it rocked the mf hizzy. These guys have come a long way. They used to play my pig roasts back when all they played was classic rock covers at Phish parking lots. I still love it when the play "taking care of business". Rocks the mfing hizzy! Good thing my trust fund will cover the expenses of this Jam trip, too bad I can't take my BMW with me, daddy would be so proud!

Anybody want to throw in on a used cuban refugee raft with me? I hear the currents in December should float us right by Jamaica if we launch the raft from Tavernier, FL.

HOLY SHIT

See, what you guys are forgetting here is that people who are professionals, people who still live at home and are supported by mumsie and dadsie, people who are independently wealthy, people who are priviledged, people in Jamaica, and people who are not your clone in music taste are not entitled to go hear music. Don't you guys know that anyone who makes over $10,000/year are a bunch of trust-afarians who live off the money mom and dad give them? I mean get real people. Music is not for everyone. Music is only for some people. People who have busted their asses getting an education and getting ahead in life so they can do things like buy VIP passes and go to concerts in Jamaica are what's wrong with the world today. People who do those things are the reason everyone else can't catch up. It's all about ebb and flow. Rich people are why there are homeless and starving familes all across the world. It has nothing to do with a lack of motivation and a tank full of handouts. All you hard working, elloquent, educated butt-holes should be more like me and funkmeup. Right buddy? That's what you want right? Screw diversity! Stop pissing your money away on vehicles, homes, families, charitable donations, and stuff like that. Take your heads out of your asses you functional members of society! That about cover it, buddy? If it weren't for music lovers like us, there'd be no Nickelback. God bless America! Well--some of it anyway.

that's holy shiz, joshers, we have kids here!

Wow I give myself "thumbs up" for the above satire!

Oh and just so all you not from Georgia know, the UNIVERSITY funkmeup attends--it's a PRIVATE UNIVERSITY. Know how much those cost? Where'd you get that money homey? I suppose you got a full ride scholarship or maybe just saved your money not buying VIP passes and concert tickets to events which also offer VIP passes...

just joshin must a have a wicked nice mercedes. I myself drive a 1967 Bentley, well actually, I don't drive it, Benson does. He's my chauffer. I'm not going to this show though, Jamaica is a dump. When we get Moe. playing in the Greecian Islands I might think about it.

Mercedes are for poor people pal! I mean, my friends go to PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES for God sakes!

I was gonna go to Harvard, but let's face it, my CEO dad decided to home school me instead cause he didn't want me socializing with a bunch of low life college kids. I can't wait to inheret his throne as leader of Enron, I'm gonna make even more money and screw even more people out of their retirement savings!! Then I can buy that island I've had my eye on in the Carribeann, and build a house that the Prince of Dubai would envy. Just joshin, you're invited, as long as your daddy makes seven figures a year, I wouldn't want to stoop too low or anything...

Oh and by the way, the best band I've ever seen in Jamaica was Drums and Tuba, remember those boys? They were by far the best band at the first Bonnaroo, and even better that Fat Maw Roony.

thanks alot jimsan! tell you what--i'll even bring my waitstaff and then we can arrange our waitstaffs like chess pieces on the veranda (you do have a veranda right?) and play chess with them. can my pal funkmeup come too? since we're "doing nothing to help anything", we should just hire other rich "sick f*c*s" like us to roll around in our parent's money! super duper!
p.s.--i'll be heading to the Hampton's this weekend if you're up for a tennis tournament with my brother and sister Buffy and Muffy.

Tennis, are you kidding me? If the sport doesn't involve purebred horses and polo sticks I don't consider it. And we can play some waitstaff chess, but I'm gonna hire Gary Kasparov to help me, so good luck with that one. But me brother Felton is a good chess player, he can help you.
