Official Eclipse Festival 2008 Thread
So here is the thread for Eclipse Festival 2008, happening at St. Bonnet Rouge in Quebec August 1-4th. Undoubtedly many people here think it is a psy-oriented event. This year however, the line up will include many other genres in the menu. With the introduction of the Alternative stage, every attendee will get a nice fix of his/her favorite style of music.
Check out the info about this incredible music festival:

~ ESPACE COMME-UN ~
The Espace Comme-un will foster art and consciousness. Its solar portion will allow participants to take part in conferences and workshops on varied topics, while its lunar portion will focus on multimedia projection: images, short films and films. This area will be a space of synergy between participants, where they can, if only for a moment, relax, learn, be captivated and get warm at need.
The space will be officially launched on Saturday at noon with a potluck lunch: everyone is invited to bring a dish to share. Throughout the festival, you are also invited to showcase your talents on the bulletin board, so that bonds can be created both during and after the event. Participants can also place presents in a box—those presents will be redistributed at random during the festival, increasing the expression of links and coincidences.
Solar program:
Crystal vessel concert: Caterva Lumen
Dimensional principles: Marie-Lune Côté
Mayan synchronicity: Jessica Cabello Leclerc
Water vibration: Anne-Marie Luneau
Medicinal and sacred plants: Adam (Tranceplants.net)

The drive to Maniwaki from Toronto isn't bad. I've never found it much of a trek--just load up the good tunes and you'll be there before you know it.
As for whether this thread belongs... certain "A-list" summer festivals deserve their own discussion thread. I am curious to know what TAs will be in attendance this year and I'm sure others are as well!

Fuck this is probably the closest thing to the full moon festival in Germany or Earthcore in Australia.Nowhere near those but it looks fuckin amazing.
Iam just waiting for the perfect lineup and I will go.Last year I was very close to go since Protoculture was playing and I hate myself for not going.
This is a true trance party people with actual trance music.

hellz yea, last year was amazing this year will be even better
its on the beach of a river
as i said before, the orginizers should try get J00F up there since he is in toronto that weekend... of course im sure its easier said then done..
this will be an amazing party none the less cant wait
ps. eclipse > wemf
Last year it was in butt fuck nowhere...this year isn't bad at all.
And dirty hippies or not, the crowd is a blast to party with.
Ektoplazm is proud to be releasing Ekoplex's debut album Journey Of The Turtle just in time for Eclipse! CDs will be available for sale at the festival for $10. If you enjoy driving atmospheric psytrance--cruising along somewhere between full-on and the more upbeat side of progressive--be sure to check this album out!

Incidentally, this release is the first full-length album from a Toronto psytrance artist. Support local talent! 
Ok, so now that WEMF is over and past with, lets start a roll call for Eclipse!
Who from TA is coming? Anyone? Bueller?
There is gotta be at least one TRANCE ADDICT going there (besides Misanthrope)...
If I hadn't used up all my vacation days for the summer already I'd be going to this. It's been on my 'to do' list for the past few years, but always seems to conflict with my work schedule. Maybe next year.
After the blast I had last year...I was planning to go. But alas, other commitment will prevent me from making it this year.
I'll be there in 2009.
