GA for me. Looking forward to my first Phish festival!

I have the same question about camping but it sounds like there is no clear answer. How long of a walk was it for you phorbsie when you were in the regular camping area? I assume that other than location both camping areas are similar, or are there other considerations as well?

Looks like a really fun coming out of the woodwork night!

I can't make it to Toronto for this, but I'm sure this will be a pretty good show ... 'cause these guys are pretty good. In fact, It will likely be better than that. Have a good one!

Hey Sara, not sure what's up re: the pic. I just emailed it to you. And don't worry, the pic is simply a nice pic of the two of us, not one of us acting like raging dance fools at a summer festival!

  There are a few pics of us floating around, but I think this one taken by Liana a few years ago is my favourite. Happy birthday my friend. I look forward to getting down in the dance fields with you at some point this summer.

Glad I managed to make it out last night for part of this. It sounded solid and it was nice to hear Codi well-integrated into what you guys do. Cheers.

Thanks Sara! I look forward to connecting with you in person at some point before too long. And hopefully at a summer festival or two. In the meantime, I'll try to continue to visit this world as a way of staying connected re: music happenings. Is it your birthday today? If yes, I'm wishing you a happy birthday! If not, I'm wishing you a happy day!!

Although I haven't posted much here lately, I'm still doing what I can to fit "music time" into my life. A chunk of that time is spent playing with Neutones (Chris Mulligan, Ricky Neu, Dave Voigt & Mark Tonin). Since this incarnation of musicians first got together around 3 years ago, we've had lots of laughs, plenty of jams, the occasional gig, and we have worked up 15 or so original songs. We're going to play many of those songs this Friday night in Kitchener at Bobby O'Brien's. We'll start at 9 pm, play two sets, and end around midnight. No cover to get in.

We don’t have an official release or any studio recordings as of yet, but here are links to a couple of songs on YouTube that we recorded live-off-the-floor a few years ago, to give you a sense of what we sound like:

Nice to see and hear that you guys are still truckin' along and laying down lots of cool high energy music. Sorry I haven't made it to the Boathouse for one of these shows ... a range of reasons and excuses that include work, personal music projects, and "old man winter hibernation syndrome."   I hope to drop in tomorrow night but no guarantees.

I've only seen this  band twice but both times I had my ass kicked. Love what they do.

Hey edger, that sounds like a fun run! Not in the cards for this guy but I'll be there in spirit.

It looks like lots of Canadian friends are heading to the Artpark show in Lewiston ...

I've never been to a Phish festival. I hope that changes this summer.

Definitely interested but still need to see how summer family plans unfold before committing ...

It's been a while since I've posted here. Well said Northern Wish - Saturday really was a perfect summer festival day!

I haven't been on here in ages, but had to chime in to say that I also love your reviews edger, and was glad I could share a sandwich with you at Peach Fest! And a little time grooving with JRAD!! Loved this festival ... the on-site water park made the hot, sunny days a lot of fun. And on the recommendation of a friend, I decided to spend the extra cash for "glamping" - a great call, given the location of the glamping sites.

Thanks Booche!!!

Schwa is able to keep things up, and as we saw in a Jamland clip from a few years ago, he's around for the erection!  LOL

I really appreciate the kind words and the feedback! Thank you. Please forward the link to the trailer and/or the jamland.tv website to anybody who might be interested in the film. I will be working with my partner on this project to come up with a plan to get this film out for others to see. The film documents the Jamland festival, but we've really tried to create a film that moves along quickly, with some universal story lines, humour and cool visuals that will hopefully appeal to a wide audience. The premiere screening event is shaping up nicely. Peace, Mark

Cool, I look forward to checking out this documentary at some point!

Thanks for the kind words DB, much appreciated!

We've been working hard putting the finishing touches on the Jamland documentary film. Here's the official 2 minute trailer. Please give it a watch and let us know what you think! The film premieres at the Original Princess Cinema in Waterloo on Thursday June 11. Visit www.jamland.tv for more info.

Saw these guys at Gathering of the Vibes last summer. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
