Normally the Baldies were there. Sadly it was my turn to miss out on a RV without favorite pair of crazy women.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Well I am missing out on this unconvention because of a mean bout of bronchitis.

And this event happening in Holland (where pot is legal) and smoking permitted on the grounds, I wouldn't have survived it.

I think the Baldies are at this event.

Hope you feel better, Sean!

Saturday looks like the pits except for the Moerlen and Pyle Tribute.

System 7 is Steve Hillage's techno thingie, though. Reputed one of the best in the genre.

Reputedly, this could well be the last Gong show ever, since 2001 ,this is their first and only one off show .

Eat Static consists of 2 ex-Ozrics, Merv and Joie; _absolutely_ one of the best in the psy trance genre. I've been dying to see them here in the US for years, but they never come over here. Cry

And to miss them sharing the stage with System 7???

Oh, oops, how naive of me. Sorry about that.

Well thanks for the welcome, even though I'm not new at all anymore. As much as I love this forums and I do, alot, I've never been very active. I read, get informed and research,...thats about it. I go on it very often though, just don't say much usually.

Oh, oops, how naive of me. Sorry about that.

I just saw your post count and join-updates.
