Camping tips – Camping begins 4 PM Friday July 16th.

Plan ahead thoroughly. Bring more food, more water, more ice, more stuff than you think you will need. No ATM or cash machine on site. PLAN AHEAD!

No ins and outs – you must bring in all your gear and supplies.

Camping will be available to the first 400 tents. (Tents only! No campers, RVs or trailers will be permitted)

Please stay on marked trails and pathways. Failure to do so is at your own risk. There’s a reason why they call it wildlife (and we’re not talkin’ about the happy hardcore fanatics).

Remember – it may be very warm on July 17th – Dress and pack accordingly.

Feel free to bring your own mini grill, but no open fires will be allowed.

You are responsible for maintaining and leaving no garbage or damage at your camping area. Please be courteous and clean up after yourself.

Get to know your neighbors to protect yourselves from mischief and theft.


Vending statement about merchandise vendors –
Check out the many cool things made by hand or not by man. At the Caveman Village you’ll be able to find artwork that’s wearable, usable, or viewable.

If you are interested in vending at the Caveman Experience this year, please contact [email protected] for more information. REASONABLE VENDOR FEE – THE MORE THE MERRIER!

Statement about facilities, food & bev –
Bring your appetites and thirst. Enjoy a good home cooked BBQ meal, whether you’re a carnivore, omnivore, or herbivore. Munch on some tasty hamburgers, hot dogs, or brats. Not into the fleshy foods? We even have a vegetarian menu this year. Cool, refreshing non-alcoholic beverages will also be sold (Did you think we would just sell you food, with nothing to drink?)

Need ice? No worries, you can purchase ice from the old caveman at the main concession booth!

BYOB statement –
Alcohol is permitted BYOB for those over the age of 21. Glass bottles will not be permitted. All beverages must be in aluminum cans or plastic containers. Coolers will be searched. PROPER ID REQUIRED. DISTRIBUTING ALCOHOL TO MINORS ON PROPERTY IS UNLAWFUL AND SUBJECT TO ARREST.

Security statement –
NO smoking in parking area * NO open fires * NO swimming in water areas * NO ins & outs after 11 pm * NO drugs * NO bad attitudes * ONLY AUTHORIZED VEHICLES WILL BE ALLOWED INSIDE THE PARK * NO UNAUTHORIZED SOUND SYSTEMS WILL BE ALLOWED

We reserve the right to refuse admission for any reason

NOTICE: For environmental safety, flyers for other events ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE PASSED OUT INSIDE THE GATE. Anyone caught passing out flyers on the property may be subject to ejection without refund and reentry.

Feel free to express yourself and get creative with your presence at the event. We will be hosting our first annual CAVEMAN & CAVEWOMAN costume contest... or just sport the loincloth!!!

[TriXieee]

Please update once you get more info on ages, price, rest of the lineup and any other important nfo

 

[SuGaRbUzZ]

Oh, this is going to be one awesome party... I"ll DEFINATELY be going out for this one..

 

[CatheXis]

are you accepting demos for this event
lotta talent from OH............hit me up if so....
[email protected]

PEACE,

[wondci2]

damn thats the weekend of my trip to vegas.

 

[DanielBMiracle]

this looks pretty sweet so far
ill have to try and round up some peeps to head to this from da 614 bus
are you accepting demos for this though? Would head out to this for sure if some of my peeps were on the lineup.

Let us know where to send demos if you are looking to fill out the lineup. We coud provide promo help also

 

[Tim Fusion]

Unfortunately we are no longer accepting demos for this year. We have over 60 regional dj's from all over the country. However, if you would like to be considered for next year's Caveman Experience, should we do it again, plese send all demos and press kits to:

Intergruv Networks
Attn: Tim Fusion
3247 S. Maple
Berwyn, IL. 60402

We're always looking for new up and coming talent to rock it.

Also, don't forget that there is still a lot more information to come, including more headliners, and much more quality talent. We would still appreciate your support regardless of whether your friends are playing or not. Who knows? You might know some of the peeps that we've enlisted to represent your area.

Oh, and one more thing... I promise you that the venue is one of the most spectacular, and beautiful venues you will ever see... It's an accoustically correct natural outdoor amphitheater. In other words...

There's NO ECHO, or REVERB!

It's truely an amazing experience

 

[KCBuzz]

I'll be out again this year!

 

[Gerr UT]

This does look like one hell of a party, I might try and head to this. I have always wanted to head to a party in a cave. I didn't even see anything about this party last year, but the lineup is nice and Grooverider is the shit. I will figure it out closer to the date, either way MAD PROPS for the original venue.

 

[fallenangel3433]

roadtrip w/ matt to chi....

sounds like trouble

 

[drrty grrl]

Damn I just got chills reading the list of talent!! Goin' back to Chi for the first time on 6 years--anyone remember Meox Mix '98???
^arron--i was clued in by matt about this party a few weeks ago-we may all be carpooling together! and it *will* be trouble~guaranteed! (yay road trip! )

 

[kidd plur]

This party looks dope. I'll probably be hitting this one up, seeing as how it is not too far from me. I just had saw Nigel Richards last Friday and he rawked it. I'd hit this up just for him, but the rest of the lineup looks tight as hell too. Anyone that knows me, hit me up. I've got some room at my house if you want to come up early.
Peace
Martin

 

[TheLoveBandit]

killer lineup, great location....

question to Tim Fusion, would you rather have this thread moved to our larger forum "North American Events" so the KY, TN, and MO type people may see it? This MW forum only covers IL-IN-KY-MI-OH, so you may miss some of our members outside that region just a thought.

 

[Tim Fusion]

Love bandit.... I would really appreciate that. We actually have dj's comin' from all over the country. It's not really just a midwest show.
Please check the original post for updates...
