definitely would like to catch bob weir playing with the waybacks, an incredible local band. the guitarist for the waybacks used to give e-money guitar lessons. and now e-money is playing in the house band at bob's birthday party a week from friday night.
also playing sunday is the del mccoury band, an incredible, old school bluegrass band i saw at the strawberry music festival in yosemite a few years back. i'd also like to see emmylou, t-bone burnett and richard thompson as well. sunday is just chock full of great shit.
we should try to hook up on sunday sam. i think eric is going too. i'll PM you my cell number.

This is the first year I'm skipping the festival. I guess I'm going to have to get my bluegrass fix somewhere else this year.
If anyone is heading out there early tomorrow, make sure to swing by the Banjo stage. Every year usually during the 9 o'clock hour, Emmylou comes out and does a few songs for her soundcheck. The crowds are typically light at that point and you can get right up next to the stage for a nice little concert. Unfortunately I'll be missing all that...I was curious what her set will sound like as this is the first year she won't have Buddy Miller there in her backing band.
This is a great festival and they bring in a lot of musicians that don't get out to California all that often. So, if you are anywhere nearby, I second the recommendation to get out there to Golden Gate Park for all the music.
