Best 4th evah!

Just back from a sun-drenched weekend at Rothbury. It's been so long since I've had a true weekend off - it was spectacular. See Chris's 3 word reviews at www.qonverge.com/blog

I wanted to share a few pics and comments from the weekend.

Holly - 4
Sun - 0

Don't get me wrong-every day at Rothbury was sunny and gorgeous, but I was one of the few near-albinos that kept their skin lily-white with no burns. I'm sure about 90% went home with sunburn souvenirs.


Celebrity sightings:

Day 1 - 0

Day 2 - 3

This is probably the most exciting to me - not only did we sit with Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls - ps - fantastic cover of Warpig) and Jason Webly (Evelyn Evelyn) at the Establishment, but I actually met Joe Sumner (Fiction Plane and fyi Sting's son) Sometimes, I'm so scene it hurts...






Day 3 - 1

Met Scott the Blue Bunny and nearly Amanda Palmer again (but the sun was hot - we left instead)



Day 4 - 2

Within a foot of guy from Widespread Panic and someone else I didn't quite recognize from the festival.

Best food of the festival - Curry


Weirdly Fantastic Show I saw - Of Montreal - small people kabuki theatre - I don't know...


Festival Highlights to me - Rodrigo y Gabriela - I'll just say flamenco meets thrash metal guitar. Unbelievable. Also, everything at the Establishment. And Primus - did not think I would ever see them live.

Overall - we had a fabulous time. I can't say that I've ever been among 40,000 new friends before. I think I'll be back to Rothbury next year.
