found: pictures of live oak (and they're good)

stu just sent me a site full of pictures from live oak. you can see his picture as well. stu's band performed sunday morning.

les yeux noirs plays klezmer which means gypsy+jewish+cute french accents to you and me. they shook their hips and chachacha'd their shoulders and the girls were swooning. highlights: the two fiddlers playing on one fiddle. and my housemate going backstage for a couple of bisou's and autographs for the cd she purchased.

michelle shocked and the perverse allstars. i'm pretty sure the guitarist is looking right at me in this picture. he's thinking, damn if only i wasn't a famous rock and roll god so i could ask that woman out. she should be my wife. screw ireland, i'm moving to america.

the live oak camp is big and most people come every year, so they've got their camping situation all worked out. some of the groups bid on their own private outhouse, that gets cleaned several times a day. my friends brenda and bruce and their fellow campmates won the bid this year and celebrated by decorating their john with gusto.

live oak is a family affair, that is for sure. in fact, you'll see grandparents, parents and young 'uns running around. there are things for the kids, things for the parents, and everyone in between. there are great expanses of shade to loll the weekend away watching your favorite acts or you can sit right out in the sun. i laugh, thinking, conservatives only think they have the stranglehold on family values. sponsored by kcbx, our local public radio station and a bastion of the liberal front, live oak proves we've got the family values and a bit more fun than a republican pep rally.
