Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2006
Subject: RE: Old Songs 2006
Really great festival this year!
I've been to 23 of them so far, and I think this was my favorite.
I'm a bit sad that it won't be in Altamont any longer unless something drastic happens. The Altamont Fairgrounds Board (which changed management somewhere around six to eight years ago) has been getting more and more nasty, raising the price, making more restrictions (part of the reason the camping situation changed a few years ago), and making it nearly impossible for the festival to remain there.
On the plus side, if this was the last year in Altamont ('cause you never know), at least it was a really nice one. Nice weather, really fantastic musicians, good food, etc.
I do miss the old clown barn, but the replacement is admittedly easier to do contras in.
