Edmonton Folk Music Festival
Another year, another trip to Gallagher Park for the Edmonton Folk Music Festival. This time though, the trip was a bit farther as we no longer live in the neighbourhood. Random thoughts on the weekend:
- Missed Thursday as I was still in Toronto and missed a chunk of Friday returning the rental...grrrrr
- Laura must have been transporting dead bodies with that tarp of hers. I swear at least 10 people passed out aroud me when I opened up the tarp.
- Witnessed perhaps the greatest workshop ever when Broken Social Scene, Serena Ryder and Royal Wood made up a song on the spot.
- A Folk Festival without harrowing weather just doesn't seem right
- I thoroughly enjoyed getting out of the heat and eating Earl and Marilyne's food
- Another Folk Fest and another Leslie sighting
- Who the hell ate my cousin?
- Notable acts: Broken Social Scene, Royal Wood, Serena Ryder, Andy McKee, Colin Hay, Michael Franti and Chris Isaak
