Yet one more time I'm bummed I don't live in the Bay Area. Have fun, everyone!

I managed to pop in both Saturday and Sunday - the Alembic booth looked great! Missed Wolf's band, but got to hear Cryptical & Friends - the lighting was not that great after the sun went down, but managed to get a shot of Stephen with his 5-string Series:





Sounded good out front Stephen! Hope you had fun!

Hey Harry

It was fun running into you at the festival on Saturday. Glad you were able to make it back on Sunday. Had a very good time playing. Great Berkeley crowd filled with familiar faces. We had a lot of our usual crew around. Howard Danchik mixed for us and Pete Soper, who brought and ran the PA for the event, also works with us frequently. Given the chaotic nature of a half-hour window to get set up and no soundcheck it was incredibly helpful to be working with Howard and Pete who know what we need and what the band should sound like. So the sound thing was good but the lighting...

Wolf deserves a big shout-out for not only bringing it on bass with his band Easy Wind but also working as a volunteer both days as part of the stage and hospitality crew. And of course it is always nice to see Mica and Bill. Agree the Alembic booth looked great and the two instruments Mica brought were just gorgeous.
