Hehe, I actually did make a cameo at Furthur during our tournament. Went from the banquet to Shoreline, if full CK 3-piece, snuck in, someone gave me a seat in row L, checked out Morning Dew, then left. A drive-by.
Yesterday I took a comp day for my Florida trip, and got down to the venue by 2ish. It was a shining drive there - the sun was just at the right angle to warm my heart but not blind me, just what I needed. Good to get out of the Bay Area for some fresh sea air and blue sky. I wasn't feeling this show, and was annoyed I couldn't score a carpool, even w/RM's facebook power, but the drive down was very reflective.
The venue had zero parking. For some reason, a lot of RMers thought there would be camping. Don't know where they got that - it was never announced so on our site and the venue site had strict rules against it. So there was some shuffling as people found crash pads and such. We had a crappy little space at the end of vendors row, just before the spicy pie booth (pizza). The venue is right underneath the flight path of the airport, so small jets roar over regularly. The arena was a big field of mud when I got there, but they laid down tons of fresh sawdust, and it was actually nice, like big freshly-cleaned rabbit rabbit hutch. Furthur is playing small venues for this tour - this was only 5500.
I had a lot of fun running amuck. The 1st set was un-engaging, but I caught a fine Estimated>Deal during the second, which left me with the opinion that the boys still got it, only just though. That's okay because it gave me more luxury to run amuck.
Estimated>Deal made me think of ED. ED, we need to get together soon. Why haven't I done a hobo shoot with you for KFTC? I've got LB, G & PPFY. You'd be a great hobo.
It was a long drive home, but one of my shidi gave me Stephan Marley's new CD, Tree of Life or something like that, which had Soldiers in Jah Army, a track I've been wishing for since I heard it several months ago, and that made for a great late night ride.
