Blues festival {NOW WITH LINK}

A hoot and a half. Half awake now, sprung awake from a good snooze seeking cool water and a bathroom, so i wont post too much. I will chronicle later though. Need to digest the pics. Next time you should dear reader.

So the Blues festival was a major success. All the way in Bisbee there was a one and a half hour drive there. Luckily, we bored my moms truck so the trip was smooth for burr, l, v, and I. The country that way is so green in comparison, it was a nice change of pace. On the way there though, v had to dose up on some special brownies...we didnt participate, we know their effect and didnt want that for the festival, but l and v did. They were solid for the entire trip there but started getting funky at Bisbee itself. At some lunch there, this little hole in the wall cafe that was forty freaking bucks for sandwiches and quiche...oh well. Something new. From there we made our way to the actual venue.

It was some park at the top of a small hill in the middle of Old Bisbee. It was small but was a well designed outdoor amphitheater. The bandstand had no seating, people had to bring their own, but there was a wall of giant steps that provide some easy comfort. L and v were feeling it at the point so they rooted there. Burr and i made our way to the stage though.

Man, was that music fucking good! The first band was a bunch of old white dudes who were good but we werent buying what they were selling. Everyone after was just stellar. The percussion, the bass, the funky riffs washed over us as we swayed with a bunch of old folk who went absolutely nuts. One guy burr managed to snap was just possessed by the spirit of the music! It was nuts. Some pics:



Gonna transfer the rest to imgur soon. It was just a blast. Some of the best live music ive heard and just a really cool experience. The year of live music for me has been wrapping up well with a few more to close out the '16 calendar. Obviously Miike Snow is coming up and Marian Hill. 

Ive been loving these experiences. The raw talent some folk have is so mesmerizing and inspiring. Now if i can only learn how to dance...

Well, i know this wasnt as informative, still typing on my phone so fatigue sets in quick, as you would probably  like dear reader. I might come back to it later. Do a full breakdown on each band i heard, or i might not. Im a brat l says so i might as well live up to her knickname for me. 

Goodnight, good morning, and good afternoon.
