Sounds like a great place to be.  If I were only closer.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Sounds great man! Sure you'll have a blast! Our local blues festival is this weekend in Wilmington. Concerts & workshops all day today and tomorrow and then tomorrow night we have a huge all night party/open mic at the "Rusty Nail"  I'll be useless monday morning smile

I hear ya Pix, I usually take an extra day off work to recoup. It's the most fun all summer.

Re: blues fest

Wow what a great time we had. Had too take an extra day from work to recoup. Fior three days the bands started at 12 noon and went till 12 midnite, there was an afterhour jam on site that usually ended up around 3 to 4 am, and of course guitar jams till the sun came up in the campsite that was only a five minute walk to the concert site. We caught first hand some real
ledgens of the blues and of course I was at the front of the stage for all. Jimmie Vaughn, James Cotton, Matt Minglewood and Kenny Wayne Sheperd were hilites for me but a blues lady
called Shemika Copeland blew me away with her powerful blues voice and pro stage apperance [hope she's back next year] .
