Snoe.down '06 was a huge success for the artists and fans alike. "We couldn't have asked for a better inaugural year," said moe. guitarist Al Schnier.

moe. performed for several thousand fans outdoors at Whiteface and was even joined by the US Olympic Luge team on stage, which was met with huge applause. The Everyone Orchestra conducted by founder Matt Butler featured Phish's Jon Fishman, Jazz Mandolin Project's Jamie Masefield, Steve Kimock, Peter Apfelbaum, and Samantha Stollenwerck. moe.'s Al Schnier, Rob Derhak, Vinnie Amico and Jim Loughlin also joined the Orchestra, as well as Gordon Stone and Assembly Of Dust's Reid Genauer.

YAAAAAHHHHHHH!!

WOOT WOOT!

This went out around Lake Placid in a newsletter circulated by the folks who run the Olympic venues a few months ago. Last year was such a freakin' blast, and I'm definitely not saying that just because it goes down in my adopted hometown. The venue size and layout are perfect for the event, and the outdoor show was a blast.

This is definitely something I'll have to make a trip back East for. Ottawa folks - it's only three hours away and is entirely on a weekend. NO EXCUSES!
