Hi all
As I look around the festival I try to spy the festivarian. I see the New Orleanian festivarians in full festivarian freak flag frocks. Yesterday I wished I had a camera. You know the flags people fly to point out their position in the mass of the audience, I saw one that instead of a flag, it had a blender mounted to the top of the pole.
For anyone who hasn't been to this one, take the Telluride stage, multiply it by 3, for three separate stages, then take about half the TBF audience, multiply that by 5 and then place all the stages in a big circle with a bunch of food and crafts booths and you might have a close idea of the scale. It's definitely one of the festival mother ships.
I go and just wander about.
Yesterday I saw Stevie Wonder. It started to rain, just after everyone who had it got their rain gear on, it cleared up. Then just after everyone took off their rain gear, it rained again. That cycle repeated itself several times. One can only laugh.
As for the music, I love it, I love it all. Trombone Shorty, Soul Rebels, Zydeco, it's all good.
I spend some time every morning at my house and then head out to the festival in the afternoon. Today we're probably going to get a thunder shower. I think I'll be hanging at my house, painting tiles and dreaming of what could be.
