Langerado

Went to Langerado this past weekend and had a great time. The weather was absolutely brilliant. There were tons of people there; I wasn't expecting it to be that big. Really good lineup of bands too. I didn't get to see everyone play, but I enjoyed KDTU, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Mofro, MMW and others. I've never been a huge fan of String Cheese Incident, but they sounded pretty good.

Of course, being a mostly jam band festival, there were plenty of people having in depth conversations with miss Mary Jane, if you know what I mean. One guy even offered me LSD. LSD. That's just crazy. It's really kind of sad to see that many people with not much more than that to live for. Although it's not like everyone there was doing it, but it was pretty visible. And everybody was friendly too. I was impressed with how far people were travelling to come to the festival. I had to work the ID tent as part of volunteering and there were people from all over the country - Minnesota, California, New York, Texas, Kansas, etc. And I thought I was hardcore with my puny little 4 hour drive. ha. And the music was great. I'm definitely going again next year. Who's with me?
