Still recovering from the Big Music Fest in Wiarton on Saturday!

Me, my wife, my sister and brother-in-law went. Crazy enough we actually ended up hitchhiking the last leg of the trip and made it in time to get settled in up close to the stage (about 20 feet) before the first act came on.

In case you didn't hear the line-up was The Spades, The Arkells, The Sam Roberts Band and The Tragically Hip.

All four acts truly rocked, kudos to newcomers like The Spades and The Arkells for holding their own.

Fun and enjoyment was abundant for all and there were very few negative incidents throughout the show. (A dumb-ass kid got busted for smoking a joint in front of the cops. Duh!)

The hip was stellar. It was awesome being that close. Throughout their performance people were wondering, yelling, questioning when they were going to play New Orleans is Sinking. They finally broke it out for their finale and I could see why. They played a truly balls to the walls rendition that words can't describe. They shook that stage and the entire Wiarton Airport to it's very foundation. It rocked. It stirred the crowd so much that they kept cheering until Gord and the boys came back out for a double encore.

Sore and tired the four of us walked all the way back to downtown Wiarton where we crashed at my wife's brother's. Truly awesome. And we all feasted the next morning at the King's Buffet in Owen Sound.

Managed to get about 5 hours of work out of myself today around sleeping.

Awesome weekend.
