So this is how we spent our Thursday. I've got no complaints. If we couldn't be at Lockn hearing music this was easily the next best thing.

PS: Sorry about the big white belly.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.

What happens if I take both?

WE went downtown to hear some music that night. Pretty good day. No sour grapes or complaints.

My friends and family crew rolled in three RV's, and as planned, set up Wed. night at one of the guy's mother's house just a couple miles from Lockn. So they just stayed there for the day; some who got the word rolled in Thursday. They all went up to Blue Mountain, then back for grilling at the RV's. I joined them Thursday evening. We all rolled out and onward through the fog at 5:30 am to the fest lines--it worked out just fine.

It was, however, a horrible drive Thursday afternoon due to the storms which made me somewhat thankful for the cancellation.

The sad part for me is that I bring a box of CD's of the lockn bands for that year, and had to leave the Feat at home. Snff snff.

There were some storms rolling thru. This was at a really cool old place out 60W about 12 miles from Amherst. The clouds were splitting around us and then reforming and blasting to our east. Right about where we figured Lockn was. After that we went to Red Lobster for SHRIMP FEST! I was really worried that my big Lockn story was going to start "All you can eat shrimp seemed like a good idea at the time..."

60 W (Amherst to Lex) is a great roll. back in the day, I frequently did it in an old '68 mustang with in-dash 8 track, usually NRPS in the box and PBR between my legs.

Sold out in 8 minutes, so we tried but didn't get in. Went to the moogatu/Southern Belles/ somebody else show at the Ante-Room (didn't stay for the whole thing) and walked by the Whiskey Jar where Strangefolk was playing but they must have been on break.

Wasn't going to drive our only vehicle (rvs) from Lynchburg where we were staying up to C'ville and back. Just didn't seem like the smart thing to do. (Which is why I am surprised we didn't do it.)

My volunteer group was supposted to be parking folks and helping them set up in ADA. Since they weren't letting anyone in, we sat at the volunteer tent and stared at each other for 6 hours interrupted with storm "evacuations" (meaning--just go sit in your car until the storm passes). I'd have much rather joined mccjeff for cocktails around that iconic kidney-bean pool!

It is a 1700's estate on a beautiful piece of property. Views all around it were spectacular.

Is it the clear algae on the rocks that make people fall, or what they drink that's made from the clear algae?

The hills were full of deadheads, pale ales, and great vibes. It started pouring about the time I made it to the top though.

people think it's named that because of the waterfalls, but it's from the slippery rocks, and the dense brush growing along side that would save you, but someone in the CCA from Maryland wrote the sign "crab" instead of "grab" back in the Depression....
