sego fest



we had been excitedly anticipating the sego fest for a few weeks (ever since i saw the first flyer)...so when we finished watching the presidential debate friday night we headed downtown to catch the first installment. it was a beautiful night and we got in a little dancing. the band we caught--st sebastian--was pretty good. there were some technical problems but it was fun.

on saturday we went to the rock castle amphitheater to catch the main event. they had two stages with bands playing simultaneously...so when you didn't like the one you could check out the other. and it was fun. the music was really very good and we got in a lot of serious dancing. more dancing than we've done in a long long time. we particularly liked eden express (brians' favorite--the main guy had on angel wings and blue face paint) and the elizabethan report and shark speed (my favorites). but there were other good acts too. it was so nice to hear good local music. i hate to talk bad about cville, but this stuff was hands down better than the local acts we heard there. so, although we don't get wilco or modest mouse to come here, there's no shortage of good music.

it's such a relief to know that i can listen and dance to good music here.
