Peacefest 2007: Friday, June 1~Sunday, June 3 (Taipei)

I’m informed that: "Cool music festival growing in stature every year, set in beautiful natural surroundings of Kunlun Herb Garden. Peacefest 2007 runs from Friday, June 1~Sunday, June 3. "

And that: “Muddy Bottom Ramblers will be playing at 5.45 on Saturday.” Of course, they won;t be playing teir own intestruments, well not the horn section anyway, because if you pause to think about it they’re absolutely incapable of blowing their own trumpets, which is I giess what I do for them.

Here’s the webisite for more: hopingforhoping.com/ Great website name, BTW.

Oh yeah! I’m going home soon to get my mohawk done. This gig deserves a mohawk.

I just got back…The moon is full and people are having a great time.

A couple of things…

They are trying to keep the cars out of there, so don’t expect to be able to drive up…Use the Shuttle buses or walk to the meadow. Please be responsible with your garbage.

Second, the law showed up in a big way…Probably numbering over 30 with undercover floating through the crowds. Be careful what you do up there in public if you know what I mean. Most of them had left by the time I got out of there, but expect some residuals to be hanging around.

The crowd looks to be a few hundred strong, with many more expected for tomorrow in the evening. People were having a great time when I left…

Hope to see you up there.

Bastards! I suppose I’ve missed the Bottom Boys by now, still plenty on mnd you.
