What are your best TBF memories?

[sired]

Have we forgotten about the infamous painting of toenails after the cocktails, Karl? They were purple if I recall correctly....

[arcticdesertnomad]

Wow!  All this talk about camps sounds more like small countries.  It's going to make this nomad's little tent feel pretty insignificant.  Maybe next year I will have learned a few tricks and have more time to be better prepared for a proper festival setup.  I am just going to be glad to get out of Afghanistan in time to come this year.

 Listening to: Patty Griffin - Children Running Through

[Hippie]

Geez Afghanistan ? 

Karls may have been purple, but my toe job included magnolias on the big toe 
Then ther was the smiley faces on another toe... I think they are called happy feet

What is that website again Court?

Oh... no... I wish you had not brought that up... The toe-nail painting girls always get me when I'm rather disabled.

[Hooch]

How many times have I gotten chills listening to the crowd howl at Sam Bush???  That's the stuff memories are made of.

[Doc Mike]

OK, number 15 this year, here are a few that have come to me.
-Bill Monroe "gettin' down"
-Leftover Salmon- Wake and Bake!
-Strength in Numbers
-John Hartford leading a long snake of dancers
-Wolfstone getting everyone to dance themselves into the ground
-The double rainbow right after my friend Carla got married
-Crucial Country blowing my mind
-The sound of the bagpipes during my first tarp run
-That cold night when the lights went out during Dark as a Dungeon
-Bach on Sunday morning echoing thru the canyon
-Purple Slade- miss him, where ever he may be
-meeting new friends every year, especially Utarpia!
-winning the Martin raffle last year!

Moer to come as I sift through the haze!

 Listening to: John Hartford- "In Tall Buildings"

[bgrassvol]

Ahhh...what can I say that hasn't already been said.

My best memory is the one that happens every year as I head into my 10th. 10,000 or so people, no fights no arguments, just good times.

Others:
1) Everyone in Utarpia!
2) Doc mike winning the Martin in 06
3) Running in my first tarp run in 98
4) Bela and Future Man having a beer with us on our deck in 99
5) Singing John Prine's "Sam Stone" with my new friend Jim and seeing a tear in his eye...realizing that tear was because he lived the lines of that song.

I'll get to the musical one's later.....

 Listening to: Del McCoury - 52 Vincent

Hey Doc Mike and Bgrassvol (a.k.a. CSI Mike)!!!!  You guys and all the members of Utarpia are definitely a great TBF memory.  I'm looking forward to more of them starting in about 103 days.  I'd like to announce that I already have 3 bottles of hooch stashed with about 6 more planned.  Do you think 2 bottles per day is enough?  Now that I write it, 9 seems like not very many.  Damn!   

 Listening to: The phone ringing because CSI Mike is calling me.

Hey Hooch... what the heck is hooch?

Karlos

[Hooch]

Kaptain,

Well....you can't really "explain" hooch as much as you have to "experience" hooch.  It's got some magical properties that are different for everyone.  For instance, with CSI Mike (aka Bgrassvol on here), it has the magical effect of turning wherever he is at 2am into his bed for the night.

[Kaptain Karlos]

Sounds very interesting... maybe bring some to the Homebrew Tasting?

Kaptain Karlos 

[Doc Mike]

MMMMM Hooch and homebrew!

 Listening to: Ella Fitzgerald-Don't mean a thing if....

[Hooch]

Kaptain My Kaptain,

Unfortunately Hooch is not homebrew.  I do make something called "Crunchy Toad" which is mostly homemade, but would not really be classified as "homebrew" as much as it would be called "Toxic".

But, Daniela and I happen to make our own wine and will be bringing some to share!    

[Daniela]

Hooch, homebrew, Crunchy Toad, music and friends, old and new.  I can't think of a better combination...

 Listening to: "I Can't Wait" -Straygrass

[bgrassvol]

Hooch, Homebrew, Crunchy Toad and I hope Doc Mike's Rum Punch makes a return as well. 

Gotta start drinkin in the morning again to get my liver in shape.

If the smell of hooch is in the air, ole Michael will likely sleep in his chair!
