Went there assisting my better half (Molly-O) who was in the crafts fair for a couple of years--what a great festival!

Pete AND Dar AND Janis Ian...same lineup as four years ago. I was really impressed with Janis Ian, a stunningly energetic performer and a great guitarist--not what I had expected from the "At Seventeen" woman.

Other thing that struck me--Two or three hundred people surrounding the backstage waiting for Ani DiFranco to come out after her show. I felt like saying, "Hey, this is a folk festival, lighten up folks. Let her walk around the grounds like a normal person." Ani-mania, its frankly a little scary. (They whisked her outta there on a golf cart)

But a great time. And I really like the solar stage trip--and that Pete Seeger is still playing there.
