Reading (For Dummies)

Falcon Ridge Folk

I got back late last night from the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. It was amazing. This year we planned a bit too well, and had another campground on the edge of Camp Dar, which was odd because Dar wasn't even there this year.

Annie and I got there Thursday afternoon, at around 3pm. We set up camp and wandered about a bit. Kat and Cherie arrived at 5, we had a tent party before Aaron and Greg (our Maryland crew) came in at 7-something.

Friday morning started off with a stop at the gas station for beer. We started drinking at 11:30. Then it was music.

We're About Nine

The band showed above played an awesome set in the showcase, and they were from Maryland too. Or maybe that was the liquor talking. Anyway, things progressed along right away.

Some um...tobacco

My dad showed up as smoke was leaving my nose, quite literally. He had some papers for me, and had been staying in New Paltz, mountain biking and rock climbing and such. It was the sort of comic timing that made us both laugh, and he let me get back to my "debauchery".

Saturday morning we went down the road a bit.

The water was somewhere in the 50s. Cold is all we knew. All in all an amazing weekend, in part due to who wasn't there. Hooray!
