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.

Note: Gungerdin and I caught a lot of these people during the early part of Sunday, when we were gettiing DROWNED in a DELUGE of Biblical proportions. Thank the Lord for the magic people from Magic Hat Brewery who provided rain ponchos for the faithful during that time. Worry not... the rain/hail/thunder/lightning, disappaited after a couple hours, and we were again treated to sunshine and goodness. We were blessed. Yet another MIRACLE in the Adirondacks.

He wanted to head straight for the Magic Hat tent while the first band is setting up.

Meanwhile, Beaver is smoochin' with one of the Magic Hat bartenders.

Riding in style while the Dads almost have a heart attack!

Why are the bears so flat???
Click for full size
Hey, I can untangle these beads in NO time! Note: He didn't.

Gimme a moment to get a squeeze from my favorite Magic Hat girl!

Everybody wanted to buy the Beaver a beer!

Red Sox fans aren't ALL bad. They LOVE the NY Beaver!

OK, now.. here's how you do it...

OMG! What the HELL did you DO??????
OK.... now I'm into the first of several batches from Sunday's concerts! We got rained on for a couple of hours, in a torrential downpour, as I told you. Then, everything was smooth sailing. To describe the pictures in this bunch...

We arrived at the Festival site, Beaver wouldn't walk up the HILL FROM HELL (Saranac Lake is all VERY steep hills!) so he got a ride in Daddy G's camp chair bag. Lucky dude, he is... if not a little bit lazy.

At the entrance gates, he noticed the suits for the bears that were out around town the day before, and was very confused as to why they had nobody in them. I had to explain that it was raining heavily and those costumes are very expensive, so they didn't want them to get ruined. He then tried to get both of the Dads to do the job. We told him NO.... because then we'd miss the entire concert.

True to form, he immediately headed to see his girlfriends at the Magic Hat pavilion. First he wanted to help the promo girls untangle the magic beads, then he wanted a hug from his favorite bartender. (She let us try a new concoction called "9 Lives", which will be on the market late this Fall... ssshhhhh... don't tell anyone!)

Immediately, an old friend from the Akwesasne Reservation bought him a beer, of course, and he ran into some die-hard Red Sox fans who wanted to explain to him that even Sox fans LOVE the NEW YORK STATE TRAVELING BEAVER!!!

Then he paid a visit to the sound crew (for obvious reasons, given what one of his Dads does for a living...) and got some lessons in operating the equipment. Unfortunately, he twisted one knob in the TOTALLY wrong direction, and caused a major audio calamity. OUCH!

More to come, with the entertainment and many new friends...
