The need for music and revisiting old haunts

[redfishie]

There's nothing quite like music to lift you up and pick up your spirits.  I find this to be especially true for live music.

Years ago, when I lived in Amherst and then Northampton, my friend jandrewworld introduced me to the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, a couple of days of live music in the Berkshires just over the NY/CT/MA border.

I haven't gone in awhile,

I am planning to go--my first time in about 5 years. I am hoping to head down Friday around noon & come back on Sunday. I would love to have someone to camp near!

I think I ran into you there the last time you went - which was also the last time I went. :)

If I do camp - I'd be totally up that. :)

Be warned (I'm replying so both of you know) that Eddie From Ohio isn't coming this year.

Part of me really wishes I were still going, but I know that reserving all my energies for Pennsic is the better choice this year. That and I absolutely cannot take a repeat of the tornado/tent incident.

Falconridge is awesomely fun, but I'm off to Pennsic that weekend. Have a blast!

I'm going to Pennsic the weekend after - so its actually a possibility for me. The big factor becomes can I afford the whole weekend or just a one day trip? Both are fun.

Back in the day, the friend who originally got me hooked used to be able to snag some free tickets -which is what made it so do-able.

also, have fun! some year I may actually do the 2 weeks of Pennsic.
