Post-Event Thank You

First of all, I'd like to publicly thank the musicians who took the time to entertain us all yesterday. Without their talent, the day wouldn't have been possible: Almanac Mountain (Christopher A. Cote), Elizabeth Lorrey, Lee Villaire, Vanessa Kafka (and Brian & Carl), James McGarvey III, and last-minute addition Kenneth Budka - all of your efforts were much appreciated, and the day was unforgettable due to all of your amazing contributions.

Next: thank you to all of the attendees. Beautiful summer days like yesterday have been few and far between this year, and I am glad that you all chose to spend it down at my family's lakefront lot (Niemi Cove!) for this amazing event. The turnout was phenomenal (sixty people!), and it was terrific to have you all there. Thanks for participating in this endeavor, and for supporting local music!

If you have any stories, memories or photos you'd like to see in print here, please send them to NotLameMinus@gmail.com for consideration, with "okay to print" somewhere in the e-mail. The more the merrier!

I'll be updating with my own stories, festival background info, t-shirt status updates, etc... as the mood strikes me. Also, as soon as "Event Shutterbug" Rob V. sets it up, I'll post a link to all of his fine shots from throughout the day.

And finally, if you loved any (or all!) of the performers you heard & saw yesterday, you can find up-to-date live show listings at my main blog: Not Lame Minus. I've been posting all of their New England dates for over a year now, and it's a handy place to find all of the musicians' showtimes in one place, as well as links to their official sites (which are also listed on the side column of this blog).

The 1st annual WPMF is in the books!
