August 15, 2005

We got back into town late last night, after one of the best music festivals I’ve ever been to. I have so much to tell you, but I need a day or two, please. After not sleeping well last week, then getting four hours sleep before the plane ride up to Portland on Friday, then partying like the rockstar Whoreshoes I was with for two days and a fourteen hour drive home yesterday, I am a sick puppy. Flu, I think, with fever and sore throat and headache and various ills. I’ve slept all day, and I’m planning on keeping that up.

So I’ll tell you about it later, and for now, here’s just a taste of the fun:

    I cannot tell you how bummed I am that you were here, and we didn’t get to play! I was *way* too busy anyway, but next time you head this way, hollar, no? Would love to do lunch and knit some. Cooking lessons? Anytime ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Aha! I thought that place looked familiar, and then checked the Pickathon link (oops, accidentally typed Pickathong the first time). I did alot of sock knitting at Pudding River a few weeks ago. That was reggae and ONLY a 12 hour drive home the next day for us. I would’ve given anything to be there for bluegrass.
    Who am I to complain, though? At my SIL’s wedding this weekend, when the band had to shut down at 10:30 for the neighbors, they wouldn’t stop for another hour, then unplugged and went inside. We shoved the dining room table aside and had our very own little bluegrass house party into the wee hours of the night. We’re still in recovery, too.
    Sorry you’re not feeling well. Waiting for more details on the show.

    I am in mourning for that gentle man Vassar Clements. He could play a fiddle like no other.
