Great review Harper! Great to have met you after the Savoy show!
Hope you enjoy your new tunes.
Had a great time at both shows. The covers always make it interesting.
I purchaced Sargasso Sea at Waka, and i cant seem to get it out of the cd player.........

I noticed the abrupt ending too... I was soo prepared for an old-school funk throwdown as the encorte--> SID!!, but no such luck.
Glad to read that a few of ya'll caught Savoy too, those guys are my good friends and my girlfriend sang w/ them on the last song. Her monitor was f'cked and you couldn't really hear her that well, but check out her song and more Savoy @ myspace.com/savoyband !! |

mainstage 3-4 pm
Spiritualize, Alkaline, Shimmer and Out>Around the World>Shimmer and Out, Bubonic Tonic, Hammerstrike, Intro to a Cell
revival tent 2:15-4:30am
Jump Off>Legend of Zelda>Jump Off, Mikesnack, Nematode, It's All Clear>Slow Cookin'>Juggernaut, Kesey Seed, Livingston Storm, Greet the Mind>Moonset>Greet the Mind, One Last Hurrah
First of all I'm a little disappointed even Harper couldn't nail the setlist. Second, we ended abruptly at 4:27 and about 15 minutes later it started raining like mad. Hope for tapes becuase there was some very experimental jams through out. |

I agree. Harper should probably be stripped of his "Lotus Geek #1" status! A real Lotus geek would have been there like the Cat in the Hat, pulling out a giant umbrella to dance under, followed by a smaller umbrella for his mic stand, followed by an even smaller umbrella to hold over his setlist. Emphasis on the word "setlist".
How could Harper do "Hammerstrike" like that? Not to mention "Juggernaut".
Wish I was there......rain and all.

I figured that the guy writing a book about Lotus should be conceded the Lotus Geek #1 title, but after no Wakarusa setlist, I'm not so sure now!   |

 Alright assholes! Don't make me come over there!
This is all I'm sayin'....again:
"Yea...what a blur. I danced more than I ever had in my entire life."
Blur...well you could figure out why I was that way and I KNOW you all know what I'm talkin' about with the dancing! |

I'll stand behind ya Harper! After a long weekend of festivities and extra-curriculars, I expect no one to remember anything, haha. Keep on Geekin'.
I still have trouble getting songs right when I'm AT the show, and I'm 18 deep at this point.
Glad everyone had fun! I'm hoping to make the Jazz Cafe show, and possibly the Cruise if I get back from Hawaii in time! |

Harper, just when I think you couldn't possibly do anything dumber, you do something like this...............AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!
Seriously, I didn't take kindly to the harsh words. I think we should settle things...........perhaps over a hookah.............in March.............in Amsterdam.

PS - Is anyone else having trouble with the archive download? |

Yeah, it's not working yet.

Figure about $400-$500 AT THE CHEAPEST for the plane ticket, about 80 euros per night for a decent hotel room, and 150 euros for the concert ticket. After that, it's whatever you want to spend on food & booze. "Other things" will cost about 10 euros per gram.  |

I just had a buddy come back from Europe, and he spend a fortune, heh. I found a flight for 700 direct round trip. I'd probably end up dropping like... $1600 on the trip. But it's looking more plausible as the days go on.
Anyone else seriously thinking about a nice Eurotrip? |

I meant to tell you earlier, Harper. Your pictures turned out fantastic! I was wondering if Michelle ever sent you an e-mail with the link to her pictures. I even liked the one of the two of us that was zoomed up on accident. Can't wait to do it all again next year... |

| No. Nothing yet. Sounding like she was having job problems so maybe her focus is on that. I'll call her over the weekend and push her a little. |
