We are back and nearly recovered from our long weekend at Pickathon 2009. We had quite a time! As always, there were many magical moments and a barrel full of great music.
I suggest clicking on the photos for the full festival effect.
Some of the highlights for me were artists that were new to me. Like Alela Diane, such a beautiful voice. The Deep Dark Woods, who I happened to see on the deep dark woods stage, were another surprise goodness.
The folks that I looked forward to seeing did not disappoint. Justin Townes Earle delivered again with some amazing performances. Dr. Dog and Blitzen Trapper put on stellar shows on the main stage. There were many more amazing bands, too many to mention.

Our girl had a swell time of it. Her favorite part seems to have been the horses that live on the farm where the event is held. Many, many trips were made to pet Lucky, the farm mascot.
The festival is pretty small as far as music festivals go, which is how I like it. Very family friendly with lots of activities for the kiddos. My girl got to be a part of a circus and a kids variety show where she told a joke, sang a song and did a little dance.

Hey Anon.
Justin Townes Earle is Steve's son. He is awesome! A great performer and one long legged string beaned smooth voiced son of a gun.
ps. yer welcome
Just wanted to let you know I did end up using your tutorial for the summer wallet. I made a few modifications to add a zip pocket to the back, since my daughter loves to collect change. I linked to your post in my blog and on Craftster for anyone interested. :)
