Telluride Bluegrass Festival, 50th Anniversary

[endo]

Kiel goes nuts these days, it's 'Kieler Woche'. Actually one of the largest sailing events in the world, but also the second largest fair in Germany (after the Oktoberfest). More than a 3.8 million people are coming into town. Most events include being packed in large crowds and listening to crap music, not so much my cup of tea. But last night we went to the 'Night Glow', music (well) and illuminated balloons. Was pretty nice.

Here a video from last year:

@goosehd do you count as one of the kids or one of the chaperons?

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago Always as a kid…although after the zoo and then coaching soccer last night (U8), I’m feeling my age this morning.

Went to check out a Volume virtual production facility today — really amazing stuff. Not the most exciting pics but what you can do with this thing is wild.

@goosehd also visited our relatives just three days ago in Gunung Leuser NP, Sumatra.

And just today I ran over an awesome thrift store in Kuala Lumpur! Found impressively faded Evisu No.2 MIJ with red tab. Lot 2000 I suppose.

Gay pride cruisers are in town......

Ok, it was technically yesterday but I’m still awake! Just back from Musics from Summerisle, a musical celebration of 50 years of The Wicker Man at the Barbican.

No policemen were harmed in the course of the evening’s entertainment

@ARNC the soundtrack to the original has been on my list to buy on vinyl for quite a while .

Willows song, corn rigs - love that whole album

[ARNC]

@GraemeE sadly the original plan to reassemble Gary Carpenter and members of Magnet didn't work out, but they put together a great group of musicians at relatively short notice. The soundtrack performance was definitely the main event - flanked by a very atmospheric opening set from Alasdair Roberts & Jem Finer and a somewhat unsettling performance from Gazelle Twin & NYX to close. The video is not from last night but will give you an idea.

chainsaw massacre (making wood)

[weftyarn]

Lovely Stihl @endo
Nothing better than cutting some wood in the summer sun

[ROman]

@endo Have you cut all the wood in the storage bin behind you? It all looks good.

[endo]

exactly @ROman I've more storages like that, the wood needs 2-3 years to get dry

[popvulture]

Just saw The Smile — absolutely killer, such a nice kind of masterful yet loose energy.

Kids golf and lessons on a temporary hold:

[SKT]

What’s the issue?

[goosehd]

@SKT …not really a problem except for a little lightning, thunder, low visibility, high winds, standing pools of water, and a fish or two swimming across the fairway.

Might be exaggerating about the fish…
