The 18th Meredith Music Festival - 12, 13 & 14 December 2008

From the Desk of Aunty Meredith

CURRENT AFFAIRS
Everything still seems to be humming along ok. The first batch of artists is now out of the oven. It's the wildest, deepest dish we've served. Pirate cakes in 3D.

Meredith turns 18 this year. It's almost stupid.

THE SUPERNATURAL
Plenty of activity at the Supernatural Amphitheatre. We know many people love Bush Camping, so we are working with a team of excellent botanical types to turn Top Camping into a new, vast Bush Camping. It won't happen overnight but it will happen. Uncle Doug has also been busy designing a permanent, luxurious shower facility. The restoration of the heritage-listed Pink Flamingo Bar continues apace, there's talk of a new triple-sized Meredith Eye, the lush green grass Amphitheatre carpet will be there, as will all the old favourites like Sunset Strip, Inspiration Point, The World Famous Meredith Gift, SportsField™, SkyShow, Ecoplex Cinema, Silence Wedge and Master Song's Tai Chi Masterclass. The albino Lyrebird breeding program hasn't even been imagined yet. And a new market stall selling Hot Cakes will be there to see if it's still true.

TWO TYPES OF TICKETS
This year the system has changed a little. If you want to go Friday, Saturday and Sunday you need a FriSatSun ticket; no more, no less. A SatSun ticket gives you Saturday and Sunday, but not Friday. Friday tickets are no longer sold separately. FriSatsuns are more limited than SatSuns and will certainly sell out first.

YOU TELL US

Please feel very free to take the anonymous survey to give us any comments you may have, or any ideas about artists you'd like to experience live in The Supernatural come Dicembre, or indeed, which ones you are now looking forward to. Meredith is what she is because of the participation of her participants.

WRISTBANDS

All tickets will be in the form of wristbands this year. Instead of getting a ticket you get a wristband. The ticket is the wristband, the wristband is the ticket.

INFORMATION

 Everything you could possibly want to know about everything will continue to be posted up over the coming weeks. Until then all info is situated in a place we like to call Info A-Z. It's not all there yet, but it will be soon. If you can't wait then you can Ask Aunty Meredith. The website has been re-jigged as you can see; we'd like to welcome John from Barking Sparrows who is now manning the ones and zeroes. We'd also like to thank Kyle who did so throughout the Information Age.

VOLUNTEERS

 Applications for volunteer positions are now closed, and all applicants were sent an email on August 19 with their result.

MEREDITH
Is in the best shape of her life.

Later
