Welcome To 10KLF 2008

Wow, so far it has been a good festival. The crowds are a little thin, but cars and bodies are still coming in to the campgrounds. Showed up a little late yesterday but got the camp set up and made some friends in the process. So far we've met people from Mississippi, Colorado, Montana, California, Michigan- people are coming from all over the country which means 10klf is a destination festival. The music has also been great so far. Our soundtrack for setting up camp was The New Primitives, what a great show, they ranged from Latin to Reggae even throwing down some reggaeton. They covered Buena Vista Social Club and Bob Marley. We had just a bit of rain while unpacking but shortly after the sun broke through and we were surrounded by beautiful blue skies and tall, green oak trees-so peaceful! After setting up we hit Papa Mali on the field stage for a guitar ripping good time, man he's hot and his band is great, too. At 11:00 Dark Star Orchestra hit the stage and jammed out a nice, long set starting with some classics such as Aiko, Aiko, Me & My Uncle, Big River and Deep Elem Blues, midset was a righteous Help>Slipknot>Franklins. Slipped up to the Saloon stage and hit New Mastersounds joined by Papa Mali. Another great show. Finished out the night with the second half of DSO ending with a funky Liberty. Hit the campgrounds with some friends and hit the sack. Pics and info from day two tonight! peace
