Howdee!
I had to go right back to work last Monday doing various things like
creating a huge catalog and producing some of NC's finest hip hop. So
I really used a lot of this weekend to catch up on things and get
something of a handle on all the post Sparklefest business.
I gotta say this year's fest was the best yet. As Cathy said, Boss
Martians kicked ass! Did they better the Shazam or the Mockers or
Walter Clevenger or Terry Anderson? Um, who knows, but they were
the biggest surprise. Their new CD has the most pick scrapes allowable
by law in most Western countries.
Tim Lee, Mic Harrison, Don Coffey, Jr., & Susan Lee make up In-Line
Six and they mopped up on Friday. The Van Deleckis were as tight as a
bug's arse and Velvet, The Breaks, The Anderson Council all turned in
fab sets. In fact, nobody sucked at all. I honestly can't say that
about last year or the year before.
Oh, dang, did I mention Barely Pink?!!? Hot diggity!
Ed James opened the festival with the Overture from 2112. It did not
suck.
I am in the process of editing & tweaking the audio recorded by Larry
Tucker and assembling photos for the largest gallery yet.
Also, inventories reveal I still have some T-Shirts & Tote bags left.
I've gotten a lot of requests for the free sampler CD but I weird
selling them but I'll give you one if you buy the programme. You can
get all this stuff on the website and you can feel safe by ordering
thru Paypal secure shopping cart system. Easy, breezy, beautiful.
Proceed to http://www.sparklefest.com and click the MERCH button on
the left.
Oh, and I was gonna take notes on all the bands and give clear &
concise reviews of each performance, but dang... too much vodka
backstage. Many folks saw the rare site of me right stinkin' drunk. I
got over it though. Of course, I weren't nowhere near as sh*tfaced as
Terry Anderson about an hour after his BLINDING set. Jagermeister is
not for the timid!
Also if you were there and shot video or took pictures... let's talk.
Peace, out...
Myke
