I probably check the Internet for news about the Newport Folk Festival at least once a week. There's been some trouble with getting the permits and the funding this year, I guess, so news has been hard to find. I finally got something good today! Tickets are on sale now and this year, I don't think I'll be able to choose between the two days...I'm doing both! How could I choose between Neko Case and Gillian Welch? Who's in? I will be buying my two-day pass next weekend. Any of you out there...let me know when I'll see you there (or be driving with you)!
This is my heaven.
