Number 6 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Who would dare come? Everyone that has ever visited Thailand could at least in theory be put on a plane home. But I'd love to hear his recommendations for a lineup. They can barely handle the problems with the monthly Koh Phanghan parties and they've been doing that 35 years.

Artisi Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Would be opportune to wait until Mary Jane comes fully online, he could then promote a Woodstock style music festival - that might ensure record participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
