Happy Fourth of July everybody… It’s an opportunity to think about patriotism. I love my country and feel patriotic, but I hate our current government. That does not shake my love for the country. Let’s hope our democracy corrects itself as it always has in the past.

Diana and I took a walk this morning waiting for Max and Becky’s house to wake up… Today is portal fest and there’s gonna be a lot to do as their house is one of the stages

People showing up to set up the stage and stuff and we helped out as best we could

Diane and I got a chance to walk around and check out some of the other music which was fun

The staff had a change of people and it turned out that the new staff member at Max and Becky’s was Aviva… The daughter of friends of mine from Montpelier

We finally tracked down our good friend Chad… He had two bands there… One was called sad Barbie and I don’t remember the name of the other. He’s like 6 foot four and he and his band partners were dressed up in drag to play the most amazing music… Chad is an amaz, cool guy. Fantastic bass player… Which is another thing I never knew.

Ran into this guy with a rough T-shirt, which was really weird because her friend Bobby is in that band in Vermont… this guy was kind of a groupie of theirs

at the end of the festival there was an after party and Max was DJing. On the way there we got to see some of the fireworks and part of a drone show… Pretty impressive.

Max did a great show !

What a day.. 
happy fourth everybody

note all, nite sam
