Geof and I returned from Altamont via the Southern Tier of NYS. A drive down Route 88 is absolutely breath taking.

Geof (19 yrs) had sufficiently a good enough time to say he is hooked. Dem Acadians did it by golly!

Great to see Kendall again. And meet bbc, the Muse and Burke and Sinsull. Tried to meet a buncg of others but we just didn't connect. Wanted more time to talk to Dharmabum and Nameson, too beat to hang around the Dutch Barn very long on Saturday nite but the songs I heard were wonderful. Especially a Canadian tune about Real and the Metis uprising in the west.

IMHO the first nite wasn't up to previous standards. The show dragged through the first half and was redeemed in the second. Saturday nite was just great.
