late night...

so, i tried thinking of a way to describe yonder's late night show last night and i really can't.

they opened with Terrapin Station, only had one guest the whole night and played until 2:30 a.m. so I really don't have to say much more.

Comment: *= Ronny McCoury on mandolin & vocals, acoustic encore

i will say it got real crowded towards the end, but holy crap -- that was hands-down the best yonder show i have seen in years.

afterwards, about ten of us came back here for a super-late-night dance party in the condo until an hour i probably shouldn't disclose.

how i made it down to the festival grounds today already to drop off chairs is beyond me -- though i realized i'm wearing a t-shirt with my own picture on it about 10 minutes after getting there and everyone was calling me champ. (the shirt says champ as well)

video and other stuff to come.

as for now, I think i should get some sleep. no, i know i should get some sleep... so i'm going to go have a beer in the sun of the festival with greg and sara and pass out in a lawn chair.

more later...
