Not sure how many of you are familiar with the Oregon Country Fair, but it ain't your momma's County Fair, I'll tell you that! Nestled in the woods, about a half hour from Eugene, it is the ultimate hippie experience. 3 days of crafts, food, and music and all in the woods along a river. There is no electricity (except for generators so people can play electric music) and each day about 15,000 people come, but there is another 10,000 who work it to make it happen.
Anyhow, I work the Fair and after hours (Fair goes from 11-7) is when the fun really begins. In the past, I've run into Vince Welnick, Kesey, Mountain Girl, Donna, etc. This year, on a small stage, at about 1am, playing with friends of mine was Billy! The Vida Girls are a rockin' band, and Billy was helping out on percussion. It was fun to see him up there, especially with folks I know, and my friend Steve, who was playing bass, was telling me he felt like Phil and that Billy was giving him that look he'd seen Phil get at shows. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait til next year!

I didn't catch Wavy, but he did laugh at us during our pink parade! Also, I saw Jimi. What a hoot. Sorry I missed you. Next time, call.
