One of the highlights of my weekend was being across the lake and watching what I knew must be Taz and the triple staff. You can't believe how cool that looks from across the water. Sorry I didn't get to hang out much, performing both nights and coming back into town The day of after a strenuous time off sure made me want to hang mostly around our far off campsite. I also couldn't stand to see my beloved deerfields so messy. Having ariel artist, fire girls and burlesque sensations to keep me company didn't exactly inspire me to wander much either. The music I did catch, like afromotive, made the weekend well worth it. I remember years ago at Mardi Gras, the friend I was with stole a broom from Krystal because they charged him $4 to use the bathroom and he felt it was only right. Throughout the night he could be seen sweeping at the mountains of garbage on Bourbon Street shouting to all passerbys that their "mother doesn't live here"! By the end of the night he was moaning patheticaly "if everyone would just pick up one can!" Perhaps there is something to be learned in a lesson of futility, but I think next year the promoters should empahasize the "No Trace" motto heavily as should the rest of us. Furry Red creatured staffs eh? Hate I missed that one.
