Kidz Jam at Bonnaroo 2011!

Kidz Jam in Centeroo at Bonnaroo

Look for me, Matt Ward working at the Kidz Jam booth at this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival right in Centeroo.  Kidz Jam is a great organization that helps children form a positive experience and make sense of the music festival happening all around them.  It is not a babysitting service, but a great time for parents and their children to interact and take a break in the shade from the festival sun.


Kidz Jam started at Ripplefest in Bluffton, Ohio in 2004. It was the idea of Barbara Huiner (Now Deer) and Matt Ward to give Ripplefest a more family friendly vibe.  Rain Blanken (now Taylor) took over and brought the event to Bonnaroo and it has been there every year since.  Come say hi and look for my Schwilly Kid blogs and tweets during the festival!

Happy Holidaze!

My Hippie WV Friend Emily

Remember when celebrating this fictitious holiday of 4/20-4:20-420 that you are courteous to the none smokers around you.  Don't scoff at them because they get too paranoid when they smoke the good stuff.  Simply embrace the fact that weed makes what they have to say slightly more interesting.  Ok, that wasn't very nice... 


Here is a little game we will start today followers.  Please reply to this post and let us know what festivals or shows you intend on going to this summer.  Please make sure to follow us using google or click the facebook group link to the right so we can grow the Schwilly Kid Nation!

Hippies and Jam Band Fans Alike!

Please connect with us. We are in need of some programmers that are interested in creating a new completely private site for fans of Jam Bands that don't want their part pics/activities posted for the whole world to see.  We are like minded in our love for music and a good party.  We want to find each other at shows and festivals and form a REAL connection outside of this web site. We want you to become life long friends!

We want this to grow not for a huge profit, but so the founders/designers can live a life meeting the people that become part of this site all while inspiring new life long friendships with the connections we spawn on Schwilly.com.  Help us, won't you?
