Believe it or not, The Mickey Hart Band destroyed last night! Lots of fun, Postjack joined the party as well. Franklin's, Going' Down The Road, Scarlet/Fire, Bertha amongst others.

John Cleary was awesome today, waiting on Voice Of The Wetlands Allstars now.

Day 2 a resounding success. Creole Wild West Mardi Gras Indians. Shamar Allen. Midnight Disturbers!!!  Soul Rebels. Tom petty. Oyster patty, crawfish sack, crawfish begneit combo.  Another cochon. And some Indian fry bread to cap things off.

One distressing thing.  Fess Head has been missing. Haven't seen him once. Hope everything's alright.

On someone's flagpole? You ever see the headless hornman dancing, that's a threadhead, hung with him and his wife quite a bit at bear creek. Had a propane heater set up about halfway up the pole that was PERFECT for dancing under in the cold.

This Fess Head.



I've never gone a day without spotting him... All the way back to my first fest in the early 90's. He hasn't been out there this weekend. I'm concerned.

Ah yes! That IS weird. Maybe he's only able to do 2nd weekend this year? Hopefully nothings wrong.

Anyhow, I usually wait til like 1 or 2am the night before fest to start packing, so I can sleep on the flight, but I'm so excited this year, I'm starting this afternoon.

Also, the weather for 2nd weekend looks, goddamn fantastic, possibly even a little rain for Thursday!

Thur 82/71 isolated t-storms

Sat 87/70 partly cloudy
Sun 87/71 sunny

GBA tribute to Michael Jackson at Tips last night was intense. I love it when set break starts around 4:30am.

With abut 2 hours of sleep, today was a slow day. Acura stage was packed to the gills from the start. I parked it there with my buddy's parents and waited for Bruce. Of course waiting for bruce meant seeing trombone shorty and dr. John.

I know people have mixed feeling about the boss around here, but I gotta say, it was a really great show. 50,000 people moving as one in that space. There is really nothing better. Nothing.

For food... Begneit's and iced cafe au lait. Crawfish streudel. Natchedoches meat pie. Creole stuffed bread. Then a huge roast beef poboy once we got out of there.

I have a 6am flight tomorrow. Gonna suck donkey balls.

Thanks for all the updates PG, sounds like you're doing it up in style!  Yes a 6AM flight will suck, but that's the way I do it too....blast out as fast as you can, sleep on the plane.
