Kanada Kev Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Donna the Buffalo are a blast! Great dancin' rhythms and good times. They 'headline' The Great Blue Heron Festival every year in Sherman, NY (great festival by the way ... very small and a cool site). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic ChrisC Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Ah...I'm always out of town for this festival, and will be again this year! It's such a nice venue.But, Ollie gets in fights there...major lawnchairs at that place. Security kicked him out the last time we went. But it was pretty easy to come back in after though.

bagochips Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 The Ottawa Folk Fest crowd are among the lamest on the planet.That said I may break with a five-year boycott to see Vieux Farka Touré. The only thing holding me back is that the Ottawa Folk Fest crowd are among the lamest on the planet.Did I mention how lame the Ottawa Folk Fest crowd are?

I totally remember a security guy escorting you...was it a voluntary escort? And I remember fighting words. Ok, I probably made it sounds worse that it was, but it still was kinda bad there.

ollie Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Maybe I was little high but that's all. Buddy gave me the option of sitting down or being escorted out. I chose option 3: sulk away to one of the side stages.So yeah, don't argue with the lawnchair folk. It's their turf and they don't mess around.

AdamH Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 How much, what are the dates, etc. Too lazy to check myself.I for one am looking forward to going to a festival and BEING the drunken belligerent asshole rather than having to deal with them at Bluesfest!

Ms.Huxtable Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I dig Donna the Buffalo a lot. I've never seen them live, but really like their CDs.That's a descent Folk Fest lineup. BSS and Don Ross. I wish Don's wife Brooke Millar was playing. What a perfect fit for her that would be. I keep an eye on here website and she never even comes close.
