tldr; i had 3 original paintings stolen from me in 2013 in hancock. the staff didn't (in my opinion and based on a number of mitigating factors) particularly care then, and i don't care even a little bit now what dumpster they ended up in looking back

as fate would happen i dealt with a lot of shit later that year, especially in the subsequent months, and that spilled into all these years later. to reiterate i don't care about the canvases and presume they were trashed. i am singularly interested in connecting these events, or rather showing irrefutably, that the stolen paintings and all the other nonsense i've dealt with is not correlated. is trying to understand this petty theft of nearly a decade ago worth 14k?????? to me it is

if you have concrete evidence of who(m) took these three paintings i'd like to give 14 grand. i can facilitate anonymous payment in such a way that you can't reveal your identity do me. it is my understanding that $14k is the largest amount i can gift another person, anonymously, tax free (not financial advice i am not an accountant or tax professional). i am happy to instead donate this money to another worthy cause or person of your choosing contingent upon proof of whom stole this property if that is agreeable to you

they were each 20" x 30" and were framed, mostly ink & acrylic, i put 100+ hours into one, they were pretty mediocre and not that remarkable. i can give more identifying information on the circumstances or the property that was stolen

do you have documentation of what happened? can this money help your family out? give it some consideration

Hi I currently live in Nassau county NY and I’m thinking of moving somewhere upstate..I’m looking for a town that has a country feel yet has some fast food restaurants and some popular department stores..like a lively town. Fell in love with Saratoga NY but it’s a little too far out. Trying to stay within the 2 hour drive from Nassau county. Help a girl out!! 🙏

I guess its like over forever

Hey all, I'm going to Elements Lakewood at New Minglewood next weekend, and I had some questions about the venue.

What's the cell service like? What do you think the best route is from NYC? What was the police presence on the drive in? Anything else I should know about the camp? Thanks friends!

I know most are out west, but do you guys have any backup plans?

Dearest Chillfam,

After seven consecutive years of sharing the weekend of our dreams together, the time has come for us to step back and take a year off. The Catskill Chill has come to mean so much to so many of us. We have met here, we have loved, laughed, and camped here. We have DANCED here and we have truly lived here, together. Perhaps what has made the Chill most magical is intention. Every year, as we all start planning for our annual celebration, we have one thing in common ~ the baseline intention of "All Love, All the Time". When thousands of us carry that into our weekend, we generate an atmosphere of acceptance, love, connection, and unity. Although there will be no Chill this year, we ask you to join us in weaving the intention we've dedicated to one weekend in September into our day-to-day lives. When love is our intention, we are most likely to succeed in connection.

To all of you, our entire music community, the bands, artists, vendors, media, venues, promoters, volunteers, and our wonderful, dream~team of a staff: Thank You. Your love, support, and authenticity have lifted our souls to new heights and we love you.

Music! We are so grateful to have shared such amazing music with you all and we will continue to share exciting show announcements related to all of the wonderful musicians we've come to love. We also hope to be announcing some fun Chillfam parties throughout the Northeast this year, so rest assured ~ just because there isn't a Catskill Chill in September, we are still a family and we will be dancing at a show together real soon!

All Love, All the Time,

Dave, Larry, Josh, and Dan

I've heard mumbles that they hardly broke even last year, and there may not be a fest this year. Weren't tickets on sale by now last year?

Anyone? Anyone? Beuhler?

Hi all! I'm looking to get a cabin for next years chill cause, fuck that cold weather. I read the info on the fests website but I had a couple questions. Thanks in advance for any help!

What a weekend!!! by far my favorite festival i've ever been to. This was my first chill and i was absolutely blown away by all the love and adoration from the community, and the sense of togetherness. That being said, ive still got a lot of these sets stuck in my head a week and a half later lol, and ive been searching far and wide for recordings from this years Catskill. I specifically loved that Electron set, and those Pigeons sets (that second one was ON FIRE id love to have a soundboard of that) and both Keller Williams and Greensky Bluegrass rewrote my opinion on bluegrass music ( i was a nonbeliever before the Chill ) ... does anyone have any footage/ recordings/ soundboards to share? youd make my day. regardless though the Chill was incredible and will certainly be a yearly tradition for the foreseeable future. love you all chill fam!! :)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it this year. To those that were more fortunate than I, how was the new venue? Did it still feel like Catskill Chill?

Hey Mods, would any of you be able to adjust the image size of the header? It's twice the size of some of the larger banners, so would probably look nicer if it were half sized at least.

Thanks!

Hey guys and girls,

The pre-party line up starts at what time? The gates open at 1pm Thursday according to the pre-party page, but the FAQ says you have to arrive between 3pm and midnight. Also, I don't see when the music starts that night?

Speaking of music starting, is there a schedule of the shows? I'd really like to figure out what shows will be conflicting and work out who I'm going to go see.

How's the sand situation? "Don't bring sand to the beach." or more a BYOD?

Selling for $160, what I paid for it.

Can't get the time off. :(.

I will email you the Eticket, so you'll get it asap!

I'm not sure when the announcement was last year but I'm starting to get ansy. My summer is super packed (doing my internship for college) and Chill is just after my schedule frees up. Last year was my first Chill (thanks to the kindness of my very good friend and moderator for this page) and I cannot wait for the next one.

EDIT/UPDATE: I just checked their website and last year they announced the lineup on April 28th so lets hope we hear something TOMORROW!!!

Looking for any and all soundboard recordings possible. And of course I'll pay for official shit.

Over the weekend, did anybody hear of any new possible rumors about the location for next year's Chill? Were the rumors from at least a half-credible source?
