Last weekend, I went to the Bayfront Reggae festival in Duluth. A few days before, I was riding in the car listening to Kvsc, and they announced that they were going to give away guest passes to the festival. I didn't try for them, because it seemed like a reckless idea. The next day, they tried to give away the passes again, and this time I called, and I got them! On Friday, my mom and I drove to St. Cloud to get the tickets, and after some confusion and awed wandering in the KVSC studio, I was ready to go.
The concert started in the morning on saturday, and lasted all day. I brought my friend from band because I knew he would appreciate it, and we did, and it was wonderful. My favorite band was called Zili Misik, and I have since done some research on them and begun loving them even more. They are an all female group with a horn section, and an exciting fusion of many types of music. Yum. www.zilimisik.com
The Reggae Festival will certainly remain a highlight of summer. Just today now, I found out that Great Big Sea will be performing at Irish Fair in August! I really want to go. Live music is excellent.
Since this weekend, I have been pretty mellow. Colin came back from his weekend trip to Wisconsin, and now we are settling back into the flow of things again. Today, we started clearing out the old trailer. I didn't get much work done, because it was so interesting. It is hard to throw away so many artifacts of my past. Visser and I found some cool clothes in my mom's dressers.
