_4 Days of Heavy Busking_

So long story short -- busked for the last 4 days at this annual folk festival in Seattle (a bit of a hippy fest, but it's all good) with my bagpipe/drum-kit/conga band. Had a hell of a good time, and now I'm seriously recouperating. We were _very_ well recevied -- people kept coming up to us to ask when we were playing again next. We were the subject of 2 major after-dark street parties with loads of folks watching numerous folks doing the hippy-dippy-doo (or w/ the Scottish touch, I think that would be the "hippy-dippy-McDubh", bearing in mind that Dubh is pronounced 'doo' -- don't ask me how or why). SunPM's was the largest with at least 40 folks dancing and 100+ watching -- all were rocking out. We only had one problem all weekend -- we kept on selling out of our CD -- which is a bit awkward, but if you're going to have problems, that's the kind of problem to have.

OK, enough from me -- time to get back to that serious recoup'ing.
