all so well put, I'll try and keep up the quality of this post :)
April 25 - McDowell Mt Music Fest in Scottsdale, Az. One day before my birthday, and shared the afternoon with my wife Teri, and BFF Posse Danado and husband Dick - front and center. a perfect spring afternoon with GPN as festival headliner/closer - doesn't get any better.
well, maybe the weekend of Aug 13-14 - 2 fabulous days with the Posse at the Waterfront in Burlington for the Maritime Festival: Gov't Mule doing what they do best: blow me away everytime I see/hear them (especially love the Patchwork Quilt&gt;Banks of the Deep End combo), and then GPN rocking the shoreline on the 14th - WOW! Crowd totally into it. that afternoon started with a nice set by Sweet Jen and friends, and the weekend itself started with a Posse dinner for 24 on Friday at the Windjammer! an amazing trip to Vermont, and meeting the nicest, kindest, funnest folks ever - the Posse.

KC - thanks for this space for us to share :)
