Hi my name is Gabriel, I grew up in Rhode Island, and I graduated from Skidmore College in 2008 with a double BA in Geosciences & Studio Art. I'm also known as DJ baby buster on my vinyl exclusive radio show Wednesdays 12am-2am on WSPN 91.1 I am a Solar Energy Specialist, and I design photovoltaic systems for residential homes. Green energy wins.
Any chance it's still going to happen?
Ah only 4 hours left! Hopefully we get a miracle or something.
Well, no one can fault you guys for trying. It was a noble effort.
So with my donation of $40 I get a golden ticket, right? That's the deal, right?
Is there any chance it would still happen if the goal is not reached by that day?
Any chance it can turn into a few band outdoor show at least? A week left and hopefully a rosy outcome...

@ John Koella. Thanks for listening John. You sure you're listening to my show? The guys after me play 90s hip hop, their show is called 5 boroughs. Either way, thanks for your support!
Good luck guys! See you there :)
Congrads on the initiative on potentially revolutionizing the live music experience. This project gives new life to anyone who has ever dreamed of assembling of all their favorite bands in one place. I think this dedication also bridges a tremendous gap between musicians and their fans. Mountain man breaks the barriers of callous agents and impossible contractual minutia, Mountain Man is about the music and the people who enjoy it, and more importantly Mountain Man brings about a much needed music scene to an area that's been clamoring for anything but DIY punk rip-offs at Valentines or high school ridden crap shows at Northern Lights. Good work Gabe and Shane. Here's some real good-vibe, hippie-shit feel goodery props for yal!!
Great throw of an open can of beer Gabe. By the way, I listen to your show every week, I thought that was you. I really like it, but I like th soul guy after you even better.
This NEEDS to happen...this town has been itching for some real music. I'm sick of driving to Mass or NYC to see a good show...
Yo I'd throw down even more bones on this if you got the BAND Mountain Man to play. They'd probably do it on the cheap as you named the whole damn thing after them.
I would buy plane ticket(s) to New York if Mountain Man Fest were to come into existence. I've never seen a lineup where I like EVERY band.
This is opening weekend at the Saratoga Racetrack. I might need to kickstart my hotel room.
