All Good 2006 Bands

SONICS BIDS WINNERS

First of all we want to thank the 566 bands from Sonics Bids for their interest in playing our festival and we wish you all the best in your endeavors. Over the past 4 months we have listened to all of these bands and we narrowed down the submissions to just a handful of finalists. We then took these finalists and voted on our top 5 and picked the two winners by popular vote. We are very excited to announce that the two winners this year are The Boogie Hustlers and Exit Clov. We have added these bands to our lineup and are glad to have them as a part of this year's 10th annual All Good... Congratulations to the winners and good luck to the rest of you!

FESTIVAAAAAALLLLL!!!

We are delighted to announce that we will have our number one choice for Master of Ceremonies back this year to commensurate our 10th annual celebration. The lead singer of one of our favorite bands and friend of All Good, Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon will bring to the stage his positive energy, crazy antics and his patented Festivaaaaaaaallll!!!!! ...we would not be at all surprised to see him sitting in with a band or two or playing at a campfire near you until all hours of the night and early morning.

ALL GOOD KAMPING KREW

The "Kamping Krew," formerly known as "Good Vibes" has teamed up with All Good once again. The "Kamping Krew" headed up by veteran mayor of the campground, Mark Topazio, is a camper-friendly group that is designed to provide peace and safety to the masses and to turn the more sketchy of folks in the right direction.
A message from its founder and patriarch:

The "Kamping Krew" is an organization formed to help manage camping areas at music festivals. Our mission is to create a positive, enjoyable and safe experience for the community of weekend neighbors. We aim to facilitate cooperation and communication by setting examples of respect, kindness and compassion, and spreading good vibes throughout the scene.

Look for us at Camping Central. We will offer 24 hour a day assistance by providing general information, a lost and found, maps, weather updates, schedules, and first aid. An All Good community message board will be available to post notes for friends and family. The Kamping Krew staff are first responders to many situations, so if the need for medical attention should arise, contact one of our staff for help. Feel free to stop us and say hi as we make our rounds through the campgrounds.
Please join us in helping to create a safe neighborhood for all the "Festifarians" gathering for another year of All Good music and camping.

In Love & Light

Mark T.

CLEAN VIBES

We are proud to have Clean Vibes returning for their 7th All Good with us and are thankful for the work that they do for the environment and the scene. They are the # 1 waste and recycling management team on the circuit today and they work relentlessly to protect the land, to keep the campgrounds and concert areas clean safe and beautiful and to guarantee that our community leaves nothing but footprints and memories. Not only do they participate in this labor of love, but they are a part of our community and they make cleaning up after ourselves fun and rewarding. Please respect the land at Marvin's Mountaintop in Wild and Wonderful West Virginia and please stop and say thanks and lend a hand to that Clean Vibes person near you that is focused on keeping the scene clean.

KEEPIN' UP WITH THE GROWTH

We have gone to great lengths to improve the functionality of Marvin's Mountaintop and to ultimately enhance your festival experience:
• We have designated alternate routes to the venue as to minimize congestion.
• We have built a second entrance into the site as to process vehicles and patrons twice as fast.
• We have hauled in and laid down over 2,000 tons of gravel as to lengthen and strengthen our roadways on site.
• We have cleared brush and added nearly 75 acres of space for camping and parking as to allow everyone to spread out more.
• We have brought in key personnel with decades of experience in managing larger events to ensure a smooth and successful operation.
• We have replaced last year's security company with user-friendly security teams that specialize in larger scale events of this nature.
• We are significantly increasing the number of Port-o-John's and hiring additional personnel to effectively manage this oh so important operation.
• We are providing additional water stations throughout the site as to allow easy access from all camping locations.

In general, we are dedicated to presenting you with the best festival experience that we possibly can and we hope to see all of you in just a few short weeks.
