I just wanted to detail the freakishly awesome behavior that Lorin drove the hoards of high sierra-ians to this past weekend...
High Sierra is an interesting combination of several generations of festival goers, and I heard positive feedback from all levels. After the 30 minute grandstand stage set (sadness for everyone who didn't get into late night, I know!) several members of the older generation of festiefiends who I had been talkin' to earlier told me that although they generally didn't like electronic music and hadn't paid attention to all of the positive things they had heard about Bassnectar, they would pay better attention now. And (surprise surprise) they liked the boneshakin' bass :)
Several of the children I talked to listed Bassnectar as one of their favorites of the festival.
( tangent: www.youtube.com/watch )
And then there was late night... There was this girl, and she was humping an amp as I have never seen an amp humped before, and I have seen more than my share of speaker humping. She was eventually pried off, but not before she was able to... ummm....thoroughly prove her point. The place was RAGIN' and packed, as crazy and beautiful as if it were Saturday, but it was only Thursday...
Easily the best time at High Sierra, further proven by the complete absence of the previously ubiquitous "Bassnectar's Vacation" posters the next morning.
The short of it: thanks for a kick arse night, Lorin :)

Wed, July 9, 2008 - 9:23 PMWell, you did do a good job plastering them everywhere, I couldn't walk 20 feet without bumpin' inta one... I guess there's a point where posters can get to be just too flippin' radiculous...

Fri, August 1, 2008 - 2:33 PMYou are so sweeet, GT.
I love Starfire as well. He amazed me at bobo this year.
Hey Lorin, if you ever get an offer to come out to Bobolink fest memorial day weekend, give it some thought.
Its like a mini tiny High Sierra on the feather river, similar location, but with half DJs and half bands, with a crowd that truly appreciates both.
I was sad to miss Reno last weekend. How was that, GT? Heard the sets flowed nicely.
Heres to melodic bass magic!! Thanks BN and also thanks for being such an amazing writer on the net. I read your posts on phantasytour bisco (yikes) and you handled that so well. You seem like such a genuine person that truly is generally happy. I <3 that! -

Re: HIgh Sierra CrAziNesss
Sat, August 2, 2008 - 10:18 AMI need to start working my Tahoe Mojo, especially during no snow season!! The trick is trying to get off that crack called Blue Turtle Seduction. hahahahaa :)
I look forward to seeing so many wonderful acts up there.....I just missed Rab......bummer
I guess I get shyed away from doing these events because I just dont know anyone who goes.....but I know you and you could introduce me to some folk! I like doing shows by myself, too......gotta start making a habit of it!
I will definitely go to Champ and Bacon if its in Belden. :)
