Re: [OT] The New York State Travelin' Beaver - Part 4

Hey Ken, listen.... Beaver thought he was cold, so he wanted to sit on the lamp, for some unknown reason... The Bible thing was an accident, he thought it was Reader's Digest. We never said that Beavers were geniuses, just hard workers.

Well, so am I.. but, geesh... give a guy a break when he's trying to get his required 2 hrs sleep for a morning.

I used to think I was too, but since I got a JOB, it seems that I have to be up during NORMAL hours.

We have returned from day one of Beaverfest. We have many pictures, but not up for posting any tonight. The crowd was unfortunately thinner than last year, and there was fewer top flight acts performing and less of them. We did have to endure about 5 dismal, uninspired events of drivel, but were rewarded with 3 episodes of absolute brilliance, genius and inspiration. Kudos to The Horse Flies, King Wilkie and of course, Chris Hillman Band.Quite a day, quite a day.....

Ok, I think I will smuggle a few in tonight.

I just informed Gungerdin that the two guys in the first picture were the BEARS in the picture that came just before it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA He didn't know when I introduced him to them.

I love that you got the Beaver his own wristband this year instead of smuggling him in under your shirt like you did last year!

When we entered the fest, I asked them to give him a band and they went for it!

Well gang... we're in Massena NY, having left Saranac Lake. We have hundreds of pictures to sort through from the entire Festival, particularly Sunday, when we met all KINDS of interesting people. Everyone wanted to have their 15 minutes of fame with the BEAVER. It's going to take us some time to weed through these, of course. We should have some up soon, and they will entertain you while Beaver is on his way to the biggest State in the Union... Alaska! Today is a "decompression" day for Beaver and the Dads, though. After a weekend like we've had, you can only imagine. Special thanks go to....

Les Hershorn, Mountain Music Meltdown orginzer and Guru, not to mention the incredible support staff. The whole crew from Magic Hat Brewing Co., Burlington, VT. Rock The Earth organization. The Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department Rescue Squad, Adirondak Arc, The good people of the Lake Flower Inn and the Village of Saranac Lake. The visitors and concert-goers of the Meltdown, we've become a family! And, last but not least, all of the incredible musicians who spent time with the Beaver, happily, and enjoyed his company... The Horse Flies, King Wilkie, Zen Tricksters, Chris Hillman & Herb Peterson (with Jay and Dennis from King Wilkie), Enter The Haggis and especially, (soon-to-be Rock/Blues Legend, from Bayonne, NJ!) Chaz DePaolo, who chased me down all over the Festival grounds to meet the Beaver off-stage!

If I left out any of Beaver's special friends, I'm sure Gungerdin will come up with them. Stay tuned for more incredible pictures, as soon as the Dads get their energies back up to speed.
