Ok peeps its time to do it, start to work out the kinks to make things go smoother. this is probably the biggest problem in discusion each year and the sooner we start giving input the easier it will be to come to a final decision. we all know that there are other festivals that may collide with northtek but the fact is sacrafices may have to be made between festivals. there are multiple dates that could be chosen and this is where it begins, laid out on the battle ground.

I propose july 12. its been the date from the beginning (somewhat) its always been a date that worked for a lot of people and is nicely placed in summer that no one really has school, co/op, or summer visas that would require them to miss out on the festival. people have suggested that it remain the festivals officail date for a couple of years and although its argued appon as something being imposed be a higher organisiation keeping this date would take on more of a form of tradition. it works for me but i want to know what you all think. we could start a poll once some dates actually get suggested

whut?

did this post take a couple weeks to float to the top? if ur accuzing me of high organization, I'm totally sober. I asked everyone I know, directly, including all the soundsystems that have an interest, dudes from NY, and it was discussed on the toronto msgboard. the date is July 10-15 if ur hardcore or dont have a job, or July 12-13 if you can only take the weekend off. nobody has a problem with it. if they do they havent said shit about it. it suits the quebec workers holiday in case the location is in quebec. it suits the soundsystems from quebec and ontario and friends from NY that are planning to come. it accommodates the AMF and St-Jean Baptist dates. sorry for being blunt, but we're not having a poll on dates this year cuz it's a waste of time. I appreciate your diplomatic approach, but we should focus on something else... like a location.

high organizaton

i agree with you, but on the point of I asked everyone I know, directly, including all the soundsystems that have an interest, nobody took the liberty of contacting me ... "operators of overload" but thats ok ... looking forward to an amazing festival this year....

there was a thread on the freetek.to msg board posted in mid February by Abitek that asked you (even mentions Operators of Overlord specifically) for your input... http://freetekno.toronto.on.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1603

nothing intended but i just wasnt too sure if that had been set or not. so i figured to try and open discussion about it. but since its been settled at that well we can drop it. apologies if offense was taken by anyone.

its good, words are hard enough to communicate with, typing just makes things even harder. the date is A-OK with me. since its set this early it will be easier to get time off work.
