Still working on my schedule of which shows to catch.

I've heard that Langerado is easy to get around, even from stage to stage during shows, so I may mix and match some of the double billings. At the 'roo, I rarely saw a whole show because I was always leaving early and arriving late to maximize diversity.

But not the Jacket set, no way; sorry Disco Biscuits.

I'm going to be posting before, during, and after:

More interesting stuff

Conscious Alliance Food Drive
Since its inception nearly four years ago, Boulder-based not-for-profit Conscious Alliance has rallied the generosity of music communities throughout the U.S. into an organized effort to help feed America's hungry population. Thus far in their mission, Conscious Alliance has collected and donated over 500,000 lbs. of food to local U.S. food banks and to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, where they have also used monies donated to erect a food storage facility that continues to feed hundred of families each month. In addition, Conscious Alliance has contributed funding for over 120,000 free meals served by Emergency Communities Relief Kitchen in the St. Bernard Parish of New Orleans. www.consciousalliance.org

Conscious Alliance is hosting a food drive to take place during Langerado Music Festival at Markham Park in Sunrise, FL, on March 9-11, to benefit the Daily Bread Food Bank of Miami. Attendees at this event are encouraged to donate $20 or 20 non-perishable food items in exchange for a 2 panel limited edition poster, created by Jamie Huntsman. For more information on the artist and to view his work, please visit www.bittersweetcreations.org.

Shabbat Services with Matisyahu
Matisyahu performs Sunday, March 11th at the festival, but will be joining the onsite campers for Shabbat on both Friday and Saturday. Shabbat, commonly referred to as the Jewish day-of-rest, begins at sundown Friday night, and ends after sundown on Saturday night. Matisyahu and friends will be setting up Shabbat services, meals, and parties throughout the weekend. All activities are open for everyone and anyone. No knowledge of Shabbat is required, and meals will be offered to all who attend. Campers are encouraged to stop by the Matisyahu Shabbat site at anytime throughout the festival simply to hang out, fire up a conversation, or mingle with friends new and old.

3 days!!!!!!!!!!

QuoteI'm not trying to start an argument but I like the Biscuits. I wouldn't even think about seeing them instead of MMJ but I think Jon Gutwillig (sp) is a great great guitar player. Very original.

I hope that lots of people want to check out the Disco Biscuits. The more the merrier. That will keep the scene at the MMJ a little smaller.

Anu · Mar 07, 2007, 05:53 AM

Let them have their Biscuits and Disco, too. I'll be eating a feast of My Morning Jacket.

NoVa_NoLa · Mar 07, 2007, 01:35 PM

Alright y'all, it's just about time :) My flights not 'til tomorrow afternoon, but works been nuts and promises to be the same tomorrow so I probably won't get a chance to check back here until next week.

Safe travels all...Say hey if ya see me. I'm easy to spot. I'll be the tallest woman there (6'4"), dark hair that may be under a cap or just pulled back. Runnin' with a krewe of 8 or so. Not sure where home base will be this year since the layout has likely changed. Headin' to the Tea Leaf Green/New Monsoon show tomorrow night and Franti's late show on Saturday.

Anu · Mar 07, 2007, 01:43 PM

I forgot how much time it takes to pack for a festival.

Packed more than needed as usual; lots of snacks and supplies to hopefully keep the expenses down.

Tea Leaf Green is one of the many bands I want to check out for the first time.

TEO · Mar 07, 2007, 05:24 PM

Please do not forget about Toubab Krewe! :)

NoVa_NoLa · Mar 07, 2007, 07:49 PM

Wouldn't miss them! Saw them for the first time at MagFest not too long ago. Good stuff! See you there!

Hello from the dirty, sweaty, and funkified south.

Somehow my nap kept me from seeing Stephen Malkmus; the only request from my boss was to check that out.

SSSooooooo so glad that I got up in time to catch a little Trey and ALL of STS9.

The latter blew my lid off completely.

Check back to my blog and interference.com for more reports.

Tonight, of course, I will get my jacket on one last time (for this tour).

Okay it should be over. Now we must wait for more info.

Well I got back last night and the whole festival was a blast. It was one of the greatest weekends I've ever had. Lots of great food, beer, weather people etc.

Fri, I overslept and arrived late and missed my flight. I was unable to get into Ft Lauderdale so I had to fly into W Palm, which put me at the festival 3 hours late on Fri. My buddy also had to drive a few extra miles to get me...but no big deal. Finally, I was there. This weekend, I hooked up with several guys I grew up with and all of us hadn't been in a room together for 15 years so it was special. Like Bob Seger said..."See some old friends...GOOD FOR THE SOUL."

We arrived in time to see Galactic, but we were still kind of taking in the atmosphere and moving around but they were great as usual. North Mississippi was also ending but I didn't really get over there. We floated between Bela and moe for a while then caught the beginning of Trey. We then walked over to see STS9 which was my big surprise of the weekend. They were one band I hadn't seen. Im not too much into the techno dance thing, but in a live situation it was really cool. I didn't realize they were an instrumental band, but they were the band I was unfamiliar with that I enjoyed the most. Traffic getting out was a breeze and we headed into Ft Lauderdale and over to Pompano for Drinks and Food.

Sat was here and I was charged all day for MMJ. Bounced around and caught bits of as much as we could. Then it was time for MMJ. The hit the stage right on time at 8 PM. It seemed to me there must have been a lot of people over at Bisco but MMJ definitely had a big crowd on the main stage. We setup a blanket home base in front of the sound board. I left my friends there and moved up toward the stage. I got up in front of Jim about 3-4 people deep from the barrier. The lights went out, and they raised the back drop, which was the woods from the OK movie.

the guys hit the stage, Pat hit the cymbals, and OBH was filling the festival. The boys were rocking their asses off from the first notes. I didn't write down the setlist but the one at the start of the thread is pretty accurate but for the order. Magheeta was played in the main set, and Anytime was closer. Jim didn't speak much they just played hard and blew my mind to bits.

Here's a link to my pictures there are some pretty good ones of mmj. It was a blast, and I think I may make this an annual festival. On a funny note, we made friends with one of the security guys, named Mack. Every couple hours we came back to see him, he was guarding the sound board on the Sunset stage. He was a black gentleman in his sixties or seventies and since he was from Miami, he had a bunch in common with my friend who works down there. There was a squeaky clean port o potty on the soundboard, and Mack gave us full access all weekend. Cant beat the value of a Super Clean Port-O Johnny at an outdoor event at your disposal, it was like heaven...without the wait.
