Paan Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I hate when this happens. Two festivals I want to go to on the same weekend.I went to each of these for my first time last year, and loved them both. I have heard lots of people discussing Lose Yer Shoes... anybody else been to or planning on going to MusiChaos?I can't decide at this point, and unfortunately, my cloning-combobulator will not be quite ready for that weekend.... stupid Americans are blocking my supply of uranium.

Jay Funk Dawg Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 what's the line up for Music Chaos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Haven't been to MusiChaos. Most likely in for LYS...if only to rock it one more time with Calamity Jane & Dr. Evil Mouse before they ditch us for O-town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReDD Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 It's so odd that I actually found out about Lose Your Shoes yesterday. I found it on a link on the CTMF website. What makes me angry is that I lived about 20 minutes from Kearney for about 5 years of my life and had NEVER even heard about Lose Your Shoes. I really want to go. I mean I can go see awsome music, dance the night away, then go back to my moms in Huntsville and have a good breakfast and a SHOWER!! Now I just have to wait for Djed to make up his mind..

Paan Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I am not sure what the line-up is for MusiChaos. I liked it because it was a little different from the others. It's on an old from in Heathcote, and you can see rolling hills for miles, and Georgian Bay, gorgeous spot. You bring two bags of vegetables to get it, and they cook vegetarian for you all weekend. It was a real mix last year, a guy with an upright doing poetry, rock, funk, Friends of Hefner, Burtman played, and they had a rave out back (not very well attended). They also have work shops on poetry, envronment, etc. I guess they didn't like it too much when I fired-up my rack of ribs. But I spent much of my time just laying on the hill with a glass of wine soaking in the landscape and chatting with some stellar people. It is a very small festival, very relaxing if you want it to be. We sat around a file on the top of the hill and watched the sun rise too... breath taking. I will try to find a website for it, but they are very low-key, low tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaidy Mae Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I lived about 20 minutes from Kearney for about 5 years of my life and had NEVER even heard about Lose Your Shoes. Don't worry ReDD, this is the 1st year that Lose Yer Shoes has been at Granite Ridge in Kearney. It was in Bracebridge for a number of years, and then in Severn (outside of Orillia). However, there were some crazy May 2-4 parties in Kearney back in the day. It'd be pretty crazy if we were at any of those together. Ya never know, 'til a small world after all.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I'm so glad to have heard that Diesel Dog will be in the lineup. I think our older daughter's going to be beside herself when she hears that she'll actually get a chance to dance to them in person; I also look forward to introducing her to the good folks here, who she keeps hearing so much about.

TheGoodRev Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 (edited) Bit of an aside here, just found the Lose Yer Shoes Website, get a load of this:As band leader and folk singer, Jerry Garcia inspired many. His musical sensitivity could be felt by those who attended Grateful Dead concerts and listened to his recorded works. His sense of exploration in the music gave us all a clue about how to live, play and work. Jerry was a man of community, which his 30 years with the Grateful Dead attest to. He always played to uplift the band, not to show off his incredible skill. The skill showed itself off as Jerry allowed the music to flow through him. He presented songs of the past, digging up old skeletons and giving them new life, while composing his own marvelous works with traditional cadences and fresh hooks. As he grew older, his voice matured to the point where it would provide the high point of many a G.D. show.When he died 5 years ago, the sense of loss could be felt across the world and services were held everywhere in his honour. Now, his legacy continues as his former bandmates continue to tour the continent, as jam bands form daily, inspired by his improvisational style, as fans listen to bootleg tapes which were all recorded with the permission of the band. Jerry Garcia will not be forgotten, by this generation or the next. His magic is well preserved in digital recordings and in our hearts. For all you gave us, thanks Jerry! Fare thee well!Edit to say: I'm not trying to hate on Jerry. I just think it's funny how it builds from Jerry "inspiring man" to "Fare thee well, oh sweet saviour messiah, riding off into the white light on your shining white stallion!"
