Wondering where I’ve been all weekend?
Here are a couple of pictures of Sam and me from 2008 Out Among The Stars Bluegrass festival.

Sam, up late as usual at festival.

I don’t think I need to add anything here

Reality Bites

Posted by Brendan on July 7th, 2008 filed in big business as usual, bluegrass festival

We got home from OATS yesterday around 5:30 or so. I really pulled my back on Thursday afternoon when I picked up the boy, and when I say that I mean pulling him from his feet as he was running around the pick up area. Or maybe it was the 13-hour drive, who knows. [...]

Gauntlet

Posted by Brendan on July 2nd, 2008 filed in blogs, bluegrass, bluegrass festival, direct action, family, friends

Tomorrow I leave to go pick up Sam, again an extended trip across the border, and then back about to Benton, PA for the Out Among the Stars Bluegrass Festival. The trip across the border adds an extra three hours round trip to the already-brutal eight hours I travel to Syracuse and back, but [...]

No blogging this weekend. It’s bluegrass festival time, and we’re starting it out right at Wind Gap.
See you on Sunday night, or perhaps Monday morning…

Sam Goes to Lodi!

Posted by Brendan on September 12th, 2007 filed in bluegrass, bluegrass festival, parenting, photoblog

I finally got a chance to upload some pictures. These were taken at Pickin’ in the Pasture, an annual bluegrass festival in Lodi New York. If you’d like to read about the festival itself, which is fantastic, I suggest you go here, because when I go to festivals with Sam, I miss a [...]

Wind Gap, 8/3/07

Posted by Brendan on August 7th, 2007 filed in bluegrass, bluegrass festival, photoblog

I played at the Wind Gap Bluegrass Festival this past weekend with the Mill Creek Boys, who hired me as a sub bass player and then let me know I’m full-time. Thankfully, that’s not a huge responsibility as we never practice.
Unfortunately, that really showed during our first set, which was rougher than a fifty-grit [...]

Sunday Photos

Posted by Brendan on July 29th, 2007 filed in Philadelphia, bluegrass festival, parenting, photoblog

I have a large batch of photos taken during Sam’s last visit that I finally have a chance to post, including a few updates from the chaotic vegetable garden in my backyard and the long-delayed “Sam Goes fishing” series. There may be a couple of repeats in here, so bear with me. As always, [...]

Sam Goes To OATS

Posted by Brendan on July 2nd, 2007 filed in bluegrass festival, parenting, photoblog

This weekend, Sam came to the Out Among the Stars Festival in Benton, PA. This is my new favorite festival, surpassing Woodstown, NJ: the grounds are bordered by a beautiful little creek where you can go swimming and an airstrip, where prop planes take off and land throughout the day. The festival grounds [...]

Four Days Gone

Posted by Brendan on July 2nd, 2007 filed in bluegrass, bluegrass festival, politics

Due more to accident than design, my four days at OATS were spent completely detached from the news: I missed the British bombing scare, the shutdown of the Pennsylvania state government, and God knows what else. I learned about it all when I got home, and the results were no different than had I [...]
