mark tonin Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I've been to this festival once, many years ago, and it was the most organized festival that I have ever been to. Musically it was good, not great, but this year's lineup looks fantastic! I remember at one point a rainbow formed right behind the stage ... better than any video or light show I've ever seen. Have a great time Esau ... I'm sure you will. Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Now, that is a festival! If you get the chance you should also try to check out Jesse DeNatale - I saw him twice this past autumn, and he was really good. You'll probably enjoy him, Esau.
