So here we are, less than 60 days left before the big weekend and the wheels have really started turning. That is to say that they’ve been going since the week after the festival last year, but in the past couple of weeks they’ve really started spinning like mad!
Allow myself to introduce…myself. I’m Ashley the Intern. As you’ve probably guessed I’m an intern for this awesome event. Last year I volunteered for the festival both days…all day. It was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun too. So fun in fact that I thought it’d be a swell idea to come and work on the event all year!
Me and some of MMMF gals all got together recently to come up with some new ideas to get people psyched for the fest this year and we came up with this here blog. We’ve had so much response on the festival website that we thought it might be a good idea to create a place where I can fill you all in on the ins and outs of the festival…and maybe I’ll even be able to throw in a few surprises and maybe even some MMMF secrets (well I don’t even know any at this point…but perhaps I’ll keep my ears open a little more)
If you've never been to the McDowell Mountain Music Festival, or even (gasp!) have never even heard of it, it's ok, there's still time. We're a Festival that brings in 13 rather impressive bands together for 2 days of none stop, get down, jam session-filled days. We've got camping, a Marketplace, a Kid's Zone, a Drum Circle, a pretty sweet acoustic stage presented by Creamy Radio, and of course a VIP area (umm. yea. free food and plenty of free drinks and possibly the best part - SHADE!) We pretty much have it all and the best part you ask? every cent that is made after the weekend-o-fun goes directly to two different charities in Phoenix, Phoenix Day and Golden Gate Community Center! Ok ok so you can get all of this info on our website but i just wanted to give you a little teaser to...well lets be honest, so you'd all hurry your little mouse to hover over the MMMF link and click like mad until you got to the MMMF Website. huh. well look at that, you didn't even need to go that far :)
So aside from the MMMF website and our handy dandy newsletters (if you’re not signed up to receive them go to this link and fill out some info…MMMF Newsletter) I’ll throw some random facts about the inner workings of the festival and this will give you all somewhere else to throw in some input…and really say whatever you want.
But for now…ttyl, talk to you later, bye for now, cheers …and all those other catchy sign off lines that people enjoy. I, on the other hand, will merely say…
Peace out folks.

Well Ashley the intern... I like your moves..and your style. If there was one band to see at the Fest, who would you say I can NOT miss???
oh you're sneaky...I was preparing to write an entire blog about who I love and who I love even more, but just to start. At this very moment, I cannot get enough of the John Butler Trio. They've been living in my cd player non stop for the last week. So if you're not familiar, give them a listen. More to come on everyone else later!!
