They still have camping passes available at some exorbitant sum... $115, I think. So.... if you were planning on catching them, plan on staying the weekend. Alternately, save your pennies and catch them the NEXT weekend, at the SF Fleadh. (This is what *I*'m doing...) I've never heard of a festival selling out, have you?

OK, OK, so it's not *technically* IN Philadelphia, but it's close enough (40 minutes from the city). Not sure which day yet (it runs Fri-Sun, Aug. 27-29), but I'll keep you posted! Oh, and did I mention that Great Big Sea is there as well? A dream concert for many a Fruhead! Check out www.folkfest.org or call 1-800-556-FOLK for more info. (Btw, Fruvous was just confirmed yesterday, so they won't be on the website yet and the people in the office may not yet have the updated concert list.)
