Brad, Rick and Victor meet at the space around 10:00 AM to begin moving equipment down to the festival grounds. Chris arrives shortly afterward to lend a hand.
There have been some doubts about the weather, but for the moment it is a gorgeous day: a few roads have been blocked off, and people are busy setting up banners, stands and musical equipment for the festival. The Circle is set up in front of a train station and next to a lawn where other activities are taking place.
We are instructed that a mythological parade will arrive at our location, perform a ritual dance on stilts accompanied by a drum circle, and disperse, at which point we will begin our set. So, same old, same old.
Our set is a condensed statement, moving briskly through some of our more concise repertoire and lively improvisation. As we play, a cold front comes in, and dark clouds can be seen looming over the horizon. Invocation appears for the first time in four years, and ends up closing this special set as clouds roll in.

A potpourri of energies available to the team on this one. Some supportive, some not so much so. A spirited bit of oder amidst a chaotic event that was well received. A productive afternoon.
Invocation actually turned up, in much the same fashion (as if of its own volition out of an improvisation), on the second day of the Guitar Con experience.
