We definitely hope to see you there, Kanada Kev!! And if not, there's always next year!!!
Hickster, it's only about a 4 1/2 hour drive from Toronto, which isn't bad when you're ending up in Paradise!!! You should definitely check out Gratefulfest, and you'll be hooked on the Ledges!
Just an absolutely magical place!

We had so much fun at Rhythmfest this past weekend! It surely was a magical journey from the start, with lots of pleasant surprises and mysterious happenings!
We arrived there Thursday afternoon, after battling an intense rainstorm the whole way from Cincinnati where we stayed the night before. When we start setting up, the rain stopped and sun came out, and never saw a drop of rain for the rest of the weekend!
Cornmeal rocked it, and we had a blast stomping in the wet sand as we danced our asses off!
Moe sure rocked the fuck out! I'm not a huge moe fan, but I enjoyed the hell outta their 2 sets! They seemed to love it there, and it was super cool to see them in such an intimate setting.
Setlist:
Set I: Crab Eyes, The Road> Runaway Overlude> She, Jazz Wank> Happy Hour Hero1
Set II: Bring It Back Home> Water, September2, Bullet> Brent Black> Head
Encore: Okayalright
1 Johnny Neel on moog
2 Allie Kral on fiddle (Cornmeal)
Moe announced that Cornmeal was playing an unscheduled late-night set as well! Heady!
It was a beautiful day on Friday, and more of the circus rolled in! A couple getting married on the beach, some pleasant musical surprises, skydivers, and just fun in general!
That night was the Mickey Hart Band, and I was impressed! I didn’t know what to expect, but I had a helluva time during that show! They played Baj and my song (Eyes of the World), which was super cool to hear.. GREAT show!
Giovanni Hidalgo played a solo set before Mickey and also joined the band during their show.. This guy is good on those bongos!
What a perfect day on Saturday! So beautiful, and we hung out at the beach all day swimming and catchin’ some rays.. There was some trouble with the second stage, and it pushed the main stage acts back a bit, which worked fine with everyone. Wookiefoot rocked the stage, and a lot of people showed up to see all the freaks! It was a fun show, and everyone seemed to be gearing up for the Funk!
There was a master ballooner there who made a huge mothership with George Clinton’s head on top (all in balloons, it was NUTS!).. I wish we had our camera to take a picture, but I’m sure some will turn up in time.. The mothership got passed around the whole place and it was pretty sad that it was all popped and gone by the time P-Funk came out..
So I’ve always been pretty iffy on P-Funk shows, but the place was bumpin! They ended up playing one monster set, and it was a good time!
The festival was beautiful and friendly, and there’s no way I could have a bad time at the Ledges. The only thing that was missing was DSO, I’ve never been to the Ledges without a DSO fix, but the Mickey Hart Band gave me my Dead fix..
I can’t wait until Gratefulfest
All of our pictures from Rhythmfest are here.

Happy Day

Booche have you seen Wookiefoot ?
crazy bunch they are
I'm not a huge fan of their musical talents, but I completely respect their message.. It's hard not to have fun when they're playing because of the crowd! Their followers play an important roll in the show with their costumes and toys!

I think you would dig Cornmeal actually...just sayin'
So excited to see them! So much fun!

Here's Fox's take on the subject..
Haha.. "If everybody's sitting in the same pot-filled room, how are you gonna tell the difference between a Jerry Garcia fan and a drug dealer?" Wow..

Group wants pot in airport lounges
By Felisa Cardona
The Denver Post
Marijuana proponents want to know why federal officials continue to allow people to use alcohol on airplanes, but won't allow pot smoking in the lounges at Denver International Airport.
"Does it make sense to allow adults to use a drug that causes problems on airplanes and not allow them to use one that does not cause problems on airplanes?" asked Mason Tvert, executive director of Safer Alternatives For Enjoyable Recreation.
SAFER held a press conference on Tuesday outside the offices of the Federal Aviation Administration in Denver to propose a solution to the rash of in-flight disturbances on airplanes over the last year.
Last week, a New York woman, Christina Szele, was arrested after she started smoking in her JetBlue airline seat and punched a flight attendant who stepped in to stop her. Her plane, enroute to San Francisco from New York, was diverted to Denver because of the situation.
And in the last few months, DIA has been a hot spot for arrests of drunken, unruly airplane passengers.
Tvert argues that marijuana alleviates anxiety for people who are afraid to fly and that passengers could use pot in the smoking lounges at the airport as a safer alternative to alcohol.
DIA spokesman Chuck Cannon said he does not foresee marijuana smoking in the airport.
"Marijuana is illegal isn't it?," he said. "All the bars and restaurants are concessions and they sell what they sell. I do not know that we are going to tell them what they can sell. Alcohol is legal and tobacco is legal and marijuana is not."
Tvert said he doesn't have a problem with alcohol being sold in airports, he just wants people to have another option, which he believes is more sensible, available to them when they are flying.
"It just goes to show how brainwashed they are," Tvert said. "Alcohol and pills are perfectly acceptable, but they have a problem with marijuana being available in any way, shape or form. God forbid you use a drug that is proven less harmful than both of them."

Woooooooooo yay Canada!

We attended the Vortex Music Fest in Asheville this past weekend, and the highlight for me was most definitely Laura Reed & Deep Pocket. I never heard of them until we moved down here, but found out they've been touring for quite awhile.
Laura Reed, the lead singer (also plays a few instruments but not during the show we saw), is from South Africa but then moved to North Carolina when she was younger. This tiny woman has a huge voice! And she's amazingly beautiful and insightful!
I loved the band's smooth beats and funky rhythms..
I just wanted to give a heads up on this up and coming band in case anyone has a chance to see them. I believe they're doing a Green Tour with Willie Nelson soon, traveling from Portland, Oregon to Portland, Maine in a biodiesel bus..
Check them out!

Cornmeal is definitely worth checking out, both electric and acoustic! They usually play electric, but late-nights, they gather around 1 microphone and really go to town!
I found part of their late-night acoustic set on archive, here it is: http://www.archive.org/details/cornmeal2008-07-03.late.onstage.oktava.omni.flac
