captainsunshine Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yay Joni!! I'm glad we'll see you there!! And your husband Rich will be getting there super late Friday (after Furthur in Columbus)! I'm hoping to sweet talk them into getting us a spot closer to the stage since I won't want to be walking too far this year with my big ole belly! :laugh: I guess we'll see, there's really not a bad spot in the place!

edger Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 So how was it this year anyways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurry Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 For me, it was great......but definitely different for me this year. First off being without Mud and Sierrah for the first time took a couple days to get used to.....though I did enjoy getting up at 6am and realizing I could go back to sleep!I was in work mode so that was different too. I covered the fest for this site (which bouche is going to put up once he does the site changeover) and was also working on my 'Old & in the Jerrygrass' documentary which went really well. Peter Rowan and David Nelson agreed to interviews for it as well as interviewing Dave Katz (Ekoostik Hookah) and Tyler Grant (bass in the Emmitt Nershi Band who was the 2008 national flatpicking champ and played in a Dead cover band for 6 years). There was a great group of folk again. Mousepad, Schwa, Schwa's brother Brian and his girlfriend Alison, LXQ42, Krazy Korey, Nicole, Rob, Jason, the Swifts and the Sutherlands, Baj and Capt Sunshine. Had some young energy around our campfire the first night which was really weird but that settled in the following nights. Had some really nice jams around the fire too.Had the lead singer from the Zepplin tribute band, Kashmir, at our site. They had just headlined a classic rock fest at the Ledges two weeks prior - they're out of New Jersey. Check 'em out if you can - they're really good....and buddy looked just like Robert Plant!Really really friendly guy - was surprised how much he didn't fit into the stereotype I'd cast him into prior to getting to know him (yeah, shame shame on me). Also had a couple of promoters from Ohio (who book bands at the Ledges and other fests) at our site who seem to have taken an interest in Diesel Dog and it looks like Diesel might be at the Ledges next summer!I won't take too much away from my review but I did interview Peter Rowan for the review and asked him what came to mind when he thought of Jerry. Here's what he had to say;“When I think of Jerry Garcia I think of his sense of encouragement. He was a very encouraging person. You never felt like you were doing something stupid musically. He would always want to bring it up to a level of confidence. His enthusiasm and confidence made everything blossom.†He added, “Jerry was just a totally friendly guy. You know, kind of mischievous. Always a mischievous grin. His eyebrows always going up and down, you know. He talked a lot with his eyebrows! (laughs)†What sucked was somebody making off with my running shoes at the festival, me coming home and buying a new pair and then having them stolen from my car and having to go back and buy another pair....arrgh!How was All Good?

How was All Good? Now that is some shit luck there Blair. Sorry to hear that. The good news is you should definitely be able to salvage a new song out of that Congratulations on the contacts and interviews. I can't WAIT to see your film come to fruition. As for All Good I hope to post a review of sorts in the near future. Maybe get a chance to whip it up tomorrow. But yeah, in short, UN-BLOODY-BELIEVABLE!!!

edger Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Oh, and we're going to be up on the Bruce for the week of the 26th and into the long weekend. I know you're moving somewhere around there, but hopefully we can get together for some jam and some cheer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurry Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) Also had a couple of promoters from Ohio (who book bands at the Ledges and other fests) at our site who seem to have taken an interest in Diesel Dog and it looks like Diesel might be at the Ledges next summer!Diesel Dog at the Ledges would be sweeeeeeeettt!!!Yeah, Diesel at the Ledges would be super sweet - I really hope it works out for them! The promoters, Chris and Matt, run a company called MadMatt's Promotions. Super nice guys. Kind of seemed like fate was playing a hand. Out of all the thousands of people at the fest - we end up camping beside each other.And yeah Mark, securing those interviews for my documentary was amazing! Big big thanks to bouche for his help in all this!Tonin and Edger - great to hear that All Good was All Awesome!Edger - would be great to meet up with you guys when you're up this way!
