Saw a Furthur Fest back in 96. It was OK.

I went to what is now known as the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago in 05. Broken Social Scene, Decemberists, the Go Team, AC Newman and the Wrens for starters (what a fucking lineup). It was great. It wasn't a giant camping type festival but it was conveniently located in Chicago, was relatively affordable, and you were exposed to tons of great bands.

I would still like to do a giant camping festival before I'm "too old" aka Sudden Sam's age. There's Firefly here in Delaware and Lollapalooza in Chicago. Those are ones I'd probably do.

Nothing says "camping" like Chicago.

I might be tempted to hit Sasquatch, if someone gave me free tix. There would have to be some sort of perk to get me to go.

I don't think I'm too old, at all, but I don't think I could do drugs for 2-3 days straight anymore.

I went to them when I was younger and started again about three years ago when I met my significant other.

Bama Jam 2013, Buku 2013 & 14 (going again next year, it's become our annual show), Toadlick 2013, Counterpoint 2012, Hangout Fest 2012 & 2013, Rev Fest 2012-2014 (Local Festival), VooDoo Fest 2013.

At a lot of the festivals we are the older couple. We pass out a lot of water to younger people and dance.

Also been to Sachmo SummerFest in New Orleans completely by accident. We have the hook up on a condo right near Lafayette Square in the Quarter and just were getting away for the weekend to be away. Ended up smack dab in the middle of it with living space. It was the one time we wished the view wasn't toward the common area and downtown and into the street.

[SunCoastSooner]

SCS, you really went to Toadlick? How was it?

Been to it a couple of times. We had a good time getting away but it was a little tame for a weekend we want to get away and act stupid. Mostly families with lawn chairs and the make shift forum is horribly placed. Could hardly hear Chris Young on Saturday night. We've never gone back.

Going thru Dothan a few times, saw the billboards. Love the name. Pics I posted from some of the festivals were scary. Lotsa overweight, pasty country women it seemed. Overweight, pasty country guys, too.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Saw a 40 y/o pregnant woman swilling Coors

I won't complain about being a fat ass too much. I was 165 and cut before cancer.Within two years of being healthy afterward I was nearly 270 lbs. I was a complete fat ass. I looked like the stay puffed marshmellow man. All the steroids and drinking didn't help the excessive eating.

I had another cancer scare about 18 months ago. My back pain was getting worse and I noticed a bump on my lower back starting to protrude from skin. Turned out to only be a cyst but started a discussion about how I had let myself go . . . Started dieting, being more active, and I already mentioned my drinking escapades being drastically reduced on the board . . . basically today, I'm a healthy 180.

I do hit this one every year, and I'm not even close to the Old Guy.

And Sudden Sam is an idiot for not making a vacation out of it one of these 4th of July's. Right in your wheelhouse, bro.

Texas Jam in 78 and 79 (Cotton Bowl)...also made it to one of Willie Nelsons July 4th picnics (1980-Austin).

US Festival in 82 (Labor Day weekend).

Bloor/Ossington Folk Festival 2014



Shot this at the festival at Christie Pits like 3 weeks ago...started to rain...couldn't bother to wade through the hipsters to get closer the the stage and shoot the whole performance.

Went specifically to see Fiver and stuck around for their entire set, though.

The second YouTube video "Lost The Plot" is shot outside a greasy spoon in the Leslieville neighborhood where I grab lunch once in a while.

I've gotten to know a couple of EDM DJ/Producers the last few years, which is weird because it's more my old lady's thing. Mostly because I already knew a couple of guys locally who have started to come up. Six degrees type stuff.

Even more weird is that through one of those DJs I've six degrees of seperationed myself into knowing a guy who is currently becoming a pretty serious TV star right now on a new network show this year. They're brothers and from the other side of the country originally. Small world.
