Ok but there's a lot of good stuff here, so I brought it back rather than be repetitive, redundant, and say the same thing over and over.

Trying to find all my gear from last year...

But for some reason I am really psyched about Lockn this year. Maybe it's the times, or DeadCo, or maybe it's just me, but I'm looking forward to an epic Lockn.

It's embarrassing that I am 63 years old and am stupid excited about a music festival. But to me, there is not much better than festivating with my extended Dead family. It's the people as much as the music, really.

Then, all too soon, it's back to stupid reality again...
