All Good

Tonight I'm leaving for the weekend to meet Drew in West Virginia for the All Good Festival. It'll be like Bonnaroo except only 18,000 people instead of 80,000. We will be seeing a bunch of awesome musical acts with no overlap including The Black Crowes, Galactic, The Greyboy Allstars, Trey and Mike, Ween, Les Claypool, John Medeski, Disco Biscuits, Donavon Frankenreiter, Railroad Earth, and Mofro. Expect pictures next week.

Sorry for the lack of links in this post.
