Another Successful Rothbury.  

Rothbury 2009 was another big hit.
Lots of music, more organized staff, better flow of traffic, and most importantly an overall awesome festival. I don't think that anyone who was there would disagree that Madison House knows how to throw a PARTY!!! Rothbury has now twice been the Best festival of the year! Here is my top ten list of what happened at Rothbury. (Please note, due to personal and family business, I left the festival on Sunday at 2 pm... so I missed Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Matisyahu, Yonder, and a few other things that I may have otherwise included on this list).  

10) The Wood burning Pizza  Vendor who made the best festival Pizza I have ever had
9) Meeting Jason Hann (percussionist for SCI)
8) The Disco Biscuits Late night set
7) Sherwood Forest (Nuff Said... pics and video to come) 
6) The FANTASTIC SCI Set, with lots of visual affects to go with the music (like the huge red balloon)
5) checking out the LEBO Live Painting show, and getting him to sign one of his prints... ( i love the guy... what can I say)
4) The Dead playing my first Loose Lucy!!!
3) Brett Dennen Set (including the Billy Gene cover, and then meeting him) (video and pics coming)
2) The Saturday night Umphrey's McGee set (i was 4th row from the front) (pics to come)
1) Seeing the String Cheese Incident Sound check on Thursday with another 50 or so lucky people (pics and video coming)
 

Here are a few things I think Rothbury could improve for next Year...   Water stations that don't taste like dirty laundry water Not Charging $125 for the posters ( the $85 last year really pissed me off, but this was outrageous) Having moe. at Rothbury Building a Rothbury Blackberry Application (i was so jealous of people with iPhones)   Over All its clear that Rothbury is the overwhelming AWESOME festival right now. I am already looking forward to next year. Over the next few days I am going to post Video and pictures of some of the things that happened. So stay tuned, and here are a few things to wet you appetite! Enjoy
