I will be at the Tn Solstice in Red Boiling Spring
Otherwise known as Poppinstock- Fri, Sat, Sun. 3 days between Bonnaroo and this one-
it's turning into one fine summer! Belly dancing gear will make another round...The beer cooler will be filled. Firebeavr is my camping partner on this one. I hear Tnprime is playing Friday night. My personal favs the LoveDrums on Sat.

yep. that's the site Chili!
Anyone else dropping in? I recommend the car camp area for many reasons- it's a little farther and a stream crossing but you avoid the big croud on the main field. I brought my hybrid bike last year.

they will have someone at the gate until 9pm.
Me and FB are heading after work and should arrive around 8pm, look for FB's white ford pick up in the car camp area and my big blue tent.

Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago(chicago echo)
Down in New Orleans(down in New Orleans echo)
Up in New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playing and
Dancing in the street

Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
I want ev'ry guy to grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the street

It's an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
There'll be laughing,and singing, and music swinging
And Dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore and D.C. now
Can't forget the Motor City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swingin' and and swayin', and records playing
And dancing in the street

Oh it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
I want to ev'ry guy grab a girl
Ev'rywhere around the world

Ther'll be dancing,
Dancing in the street
Way down in L.A.
Every day
Dancing in the street

High 40's to low 70's. Pretty good comfort zone, really...cep't for the ticks and skeeters.

Naked Hiking Day is tomorrow, peeps.

Hmmm. Since my neighbor put up a 6 foot fence, is naked gardening close enough?

tilt - the subtleties are lost on our northern brethren.

Lewis Grizzard said it best.

Naked is when you do not have any clothes on.
N - e - double k - by God ID is when you don't have any clothes on and you're up to something.

Nekkid anything is fine as well.

Look before you roll.

An ounce of prevention goes a long way.

Exactly, DH.

There's a World of difference between the two.

And always remember the motto of the Naked Dancing Llama (I think he's from Wisconsin or something)....

"Don't lick something unless you really mean it."

Nowslimmer went to school in Wisconsin, must be him.

Just dug some worms, threw my kayak on top of the jeep, scrounged up a fishin' pole and I'm headed for Matthews Lake to catch a mess o' sunny's:)

Walked out to the jeep and it started raining like hell. Got out of the jeep and restowed the gear:(




























Since that time the rain has stopped and the sun is shining.

Btw, it rained again and now the sun is shining once again. That's okay, there's a goodly supply of brew. The fish will still be there tomorrow and likely the next day:)
