Waking up in Astoria, Queens, Sunday was a warm beautiful day. Alas the weather forecast told us that it would not last and we were facing one of those days at a festival. You know, those rainy miserable days that make you question how badly you want to hear some live music.
By the time we got to Pier 11 to catch the ferry over to the festival site, the rain was beginning to fall. There were a fraction of the number of people that were waiting on Friday. No doubt the weather was keeping many people home. Sure enough, by the time we got across the river, the rain was coming down hard and steady.
There was only one man that would motivate me and my seven-month pregnant wife to head out in this weather – Trey Anastasio.
