I’m running a little late in getting out of town for Phish at Red Rocks, but not before I need to prime the entire car trip with the video clip shown above. I’ll likely be saying “Mars, bitches!” or “Red Rocks!” in about every video and blog that gets posted over the next [...]

No offense to the promoters behind this year’s Las Tortugas Music Festival, but they clearly did not do their homework and decide to hold off this year given that they’ll be in direct competition with the Phish Halloween celebration dubbed Festival 8. It’s a good lineup and all, even if it’s about a 90% [...]

Yes, I know…more photos of Rothbury. Once I finish this I can get to posting my thoughts on High Sierra this year. I’ve taken ample time to let it all sink in.

Jam in the ‘Dam 2010

July 22, 2009
