Festivus Ten

8.03.2011

This year marked the tenth anniversary of Floyd Fest, and I'm super honored I got to be a part of the celebration. Floyd Fest, for those of you who don't know, is a four day musical experience filled with great sounds, delicious tastes, and dirty, dirty feet. They had a sweet little ceremony for the founders and such but let's get real I was there to get down in the sun and listen to the likes of Taj Mahal, Grace Potter, Robert Randolph (note: I fell asleep from too much fun before he started), and Old Crow Medicine Show. Here are a few stage shots and crowd pleasers to start the adventure off with.


The beautiful Dreaming Creek Stage is the highlight of the whole Festival and the headliners each night play here. I'm pretty sure this shot was during the Taj Mahal set, before the rain took over the skies.


A glorious example of what three days of camping does to your appendages. I don't know these people so I can't credit them; I thank them for their feet though.


The crowd was incredible. I love how you see people from every walk and background at festivals. Yuppies, Hippies, Hipsters, Preps and everyone in between are all welcomed with open arms here. Isn't this how life is supposed to be?


Taj Mahal doing his magic; he really got down to some Mississippi Blues. I learned a really cool historical note before he started, when the Rolling Stones first came to the US he was the one person they requested to see perfrom. I think that's pretty cool and tells you that this man is a true icon.

Tomorrow I'll talk a little about vendor food and the new water system they had this year. Love. big kiss, bekuh
