Beautiful weather, good friends, and a total reversal of the concentration camp vibe made it a memorable four days. Wakarusa has turned the corner from an amateurish attempt at a festival to one that will be remembered as world class... more...

Despite late doors and chilly weather we had a good time getting ready for the show on the street. Met up with people who came in for the show from Austin thinking it was going to be the closest show to them until the Memphis show on Tuesday was signed. They're going home and to a few classes then back on the road! The bouncer noticed us taking pictures and when I went in he told me no cameras were allowed (as if I didn't see the huge sign on the door) and I told him I wouldn't use it with a flash but he said no pictures were allowed so I agreed. Hence no pix of the band.
Despite a late start, we were treated to two generous sets and an encore that weaved in and out and rocked non-stop throughout. I watched the first set from near the front row which would have been perfect for flash pictures but as Disco uses such strong backlighting effects they wouldn't have come out without a flash and since I told that really big yellow shirt I wouldn't I didn't. I don't know it it is common but at one point four cop cars with lights on stopped in front of the venue and two of them came in and went to the front. They came out alone so whatever the problem was must have worked itself out. Another sign of police presence at jam venues in Lawrence? We will have to wait and see. |

All Good 2006 |

All Good was, as expected, the finest festival site in on the circuit. Some new additions and planning, together with good weather made it memorable not to mention the great shows by The Black Crows and Trey and Mike will make it legendary. Great, long lasting late nighters by Greyboy and Disco Biscuits.

Went to the Main Stage early to be front row for Keller Williams and saw Donna the Buffalo with CJ and we met Dorothy from Kansas. Toto was not in attendance. Donna put on a good show despite equipment glitches. It started to rain near the end of their set. As the rain got harder the equipment was moved further backstage then removed. Their guitar player held out to the bitter end rocking the dwindling crowd til he and his guitar were all that was left onstage. We decided to hold our place for Keller and got soaked.more...

Coming from Lancaster, PA I drove five easy hours on great interstate, stopping only to climb Sliddell Hill on I 68. Nice VC and beautiful view. Stopped in LaVale, one of my favorite towns, had lunch and got groceries for the three day event. New to being at festivals alone I am not too experienced in grocery shopping so I played it safe and bought non-perishables. An orange, two Snickers, and a can of Pringles. Sam Addams and ice. Leaving Interstate at Morgansville there was maybe 30 miles of narrow mountain roads full of gravel trucks. Nice drive, ate the Snickers. Line was not too long and was directed into a big valley full of cars and campgrounds. Had to drive all the way across the valley and into the next for parking. Right away I decided to be friendly and took over for the parking guy. It was boring but I did get to wave that big red flagmore...

WAKARUSA 2004 |
    |
|
The First Annual Wakarusa Festival was held near Lawrence Kansas home of the Jayhawks. Besides this patriotic bird the only noteworthy sight on the way was a microwave tower that was being removed after being blown down in a storm a few weeks earlier. The Festival was held at Clinton Lake. As I walked up to the Sundown Stage Papa Mali was on with a girl fiddle player sitting in. I saw her play twice more the first day but never did get her name. We will see her again though, she is totally hot. Walking from the parking lot to the festival I hooked up with Amy and Jason, both from Lawrence. We saw the end of Drums & Tuba and spent some time checking out the legal vendors. Nicole was nice enough to let us share her shade... more...

Just as we were preparing to leave the camp for the evening shows that would close the festival the Sunshine Stage PA announced that we must evacuate the park because of tornado warnings. Quickly packing what we would take and securing what we would leave we started through the mud to the parking lot. The sky looked worse and worse and it started to rain just as we got to the parking lot. Made plans to meet at a nearby grocery store to make plans on where to stay overnight. The evacuation was very orderly and no panic was evident. Cell phones rock! Everybody got together and headed for Peoria where we secured rooms by phone. more...

It rained five of the seven hours driving to Summer Camp 2003 mostly on two lane highways. The lurkermobile though is excellent for that kind of driving and passing, even on hilly and curving roads it's easy. It stopped raining around Hannibal. This was the first time I crossed the River here and was surprised at how small the bridge was. I was also surprised to meet Reg and Kuhn as soon as I got there as I didn't think they would be there. We hauled all our crap in as soon as we found the JacksBrains campsite. Uncle Jimmy, Gwen, Stephanie and Charlotte had arrived the night before and set up a camp with two locals, Erin and Alecia. more... |
