Yeah, Kendall. Context is everything. What's it mean.

I've got to say the biggest complaint I have is those tyvek proof-of-having-paid thingies. Every festival is different. Sometimes you get quieter concerts, sometimes more rambunctious. Sometimes there are acts I don't care for, often there are ones I want to follow around all weekend. There are too many workshops I want to go to scheduled at the same time, there's not enough time for chatting, there's not enough time for jamming. The festival wears me out - it's hot, I stay up too late and I have to walk all over hellenback. Aside from the Dutch Barn lighting, I don't think it could have been better.

I have to agree with George about the volunteers. I had one problem a couple of years ago. Most years, and especially this one (because it's easier to remember) the volunteers are folks who are having a good time and want to help. I know I said thanks for specific help they gave me, but I think I should just thank them for volunteering period and for the spirit they contribute to the festival - it's a BIG contribution!

And whoever thought to put a few porta-poopers in the campground so certain people didn't feel the need to go re-locate one - THANK YOU!
