It was indeed a wonderful sunny day in downtown Berkeley ! I arrived early to hear and see the first three acts but had to leave before the last one unfortunately due to a prior engagement of mine . Rosie McGee had a booth there as well and I went over to say hello . The first band was "Reckoning"

The second band was "Wake of the Dead" The Bass player (Troy) was playing a 1991 Essence just like mine ! Troy and I spoke after his set.

The third band was "Totally Dead" I spoke with both Matt (guitar) and Will (drums) . Matt was playing his green Stratocastor with Alembic pickups.

Sunshine (Garcia) Becker was the MC . She has been a backup singer for Further and sang with Totally Dead at the Shakedown Street Festival.
