Personally I believe the Dude would make this scene.
I'll be there.

BD,
All due respect, I beg to differ. Endured several minutes of slide show. Not one oat soda, kahlua, J, bowling ball, on site. Looks way too busy, commercial, something you may need a job to pay for entrance fee. An effort to mingle that just doesn't abide the lazy man. And would the dude really know how to put up a tent? Okay then. That's just like my opinion, man

I have to agree to a degree with both you guys. Looks cool, but I see some comercialism, and the price is kinda steep. It does look like I would be able to score a J there, but that is like one of my skills.

A Dudes gathering would be much cooler, free, donation based, some where free from reactionaries, so no one will mind if we do a J. And some cowboys to help us figure out how to set up a tent. Some out door bowling lanes would be the bomb. A real Dudetopia.

Dudes I was there. 2 beer tents. Dubes passed round up front. Basically a whole field full of happy Dudes and Dudettes just grooving out.
Unfortunately we had to bring along the achievers so could not hang late.
As for the price. Really not so bad. I bought early so it was $65 for the day. That is from 10AM till whenever. Usually round 2AM. Great great tunes great great vibes.
Assembly of Dust was excellent.
We will be back next year for all 4 days.
