Can't beat October in the Mountains. We used to go to (R.I.P.) Hotoberfest over in Hot Springs. Always a good time. And Yee-Haw made some great posters for that one. Can't find the image online I was looking for but worth digging that one out and photographing it for you.

Loki lineup does look diverse. I was looking at George Clinton and The Hackensaw Boys and thinking.... this is going to be interesting.

I hope that we can make it. And that if we do decide we can come, that there will be tickets left.
Speaking of fall festivals in the mountains...Rhythm and Roots Reunion in Bristol in September— heard of it? That's a nice festival. You should check that one out. I'm trying to snag my mom's house on the Creeper Trail for that weekend... If that happens, I might just host an RP meetup up there. Lot's of room for camping. Sits right on the river. Very private.

Yes. First year.

I love the diversity in the line-up! That's what hooked me. Well that and camping in October. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Pass the marshmallows please...

That sounds pretty nice...

Will assess the situation around October 5th and go from there... Can't make advance plans like that once classes start again.

I have, however, converted from "gotta get good grades" mode into "just gotta pass" mode, though...

Is this a new festival?
