Burning Man
On July 3rd, 2007 Shady Backflash said:
for me there's burning man and then there's everything else.
the gathering of the vibes is one of my favorite music festivals. i've been going since the first year. the vibes staff has always supported our psychedelic art gallery and leda and aly, the vendor coordinators, are the best allies to have in any festival situation.
like many, i'm psyched to see them return to bridgeport and look forward to seeing my vibe tribe out there.
other shows? oh, i do a bunch of them. some are great, some are not. i've heard great things about gratefulfest but never been.
horning's hideout for cheese's final run there? ought to be as epic as cheese shows get. i may make it, hard to say just yet...
the burn is the only annual event that i do everything i can to never miss. everything else seems to pale by comparison.

Desert Rocks Music Festival

Desert Rocks, Moab, UT Memorial Weekend
This is a smaller festy, perhaps about 1500 people. The atmosphere is just amazing. It's in the middle of the beautiful red rock desert of southern Utah with primitive camping on site. The music was a mix of local acts including 10-17 year olds in the School of Rock. They blew me away with their talent. Eric Mcfadden Trio, Blue Turtle Seduction, Delta Nove, The Dukes of Ted, Wisebird, Stonefed, Dead Horse Minstrel, Al Howard & the K23 Orchestra, Kan'nal, Puddle Mountain Ramblers, Fire Dancers, Belly Dancers, and much more. The size made it nice and personal, plenty of space to stretch ones self, physically and mentally. Check it out next year if you're in the area!
oh my goodness

And music too!
