Folk Fest #2 - because there is ALWAYS more to share..





Not a particularly content-full post, but here we go. First, Vancouver's incorrigible Geoff Berner. I don't know if I can come up with a better word for him. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to capture his 2010 Olympic Theme Song ("The Dead Children Were Worth It!"), which you can hear here. He's a bit like the South Park of the festival - sometimes you can't believe what you are hearing, but nine times out of ten he's holding up a pretty effective (if uncomfortable..and funny...) mirror for us to peek into



Some lovely reeds (oh how I love you Jericho Beach Park)....

Geoff Berner, of course...

Steven Page on the main stage, in what must be his Special Pink & Blue Show Suit...

Some Bellowheads...

the Weakerthan's John K Samson...


and a rather handsome Breakman, just to cleanse the palate. Or something like that. And I will say this is a perfect example of how I FIGHT WITH THE FORMATTING in this stupid blog!! AUGH!! Any tips on how I can get photos and text to play well together, let me know.

Bunkle,

Your analysis of Geoff Berner is SPOT ON!!! Hilarious!!

I too have formatting problems (though I seem to have found a way around the part where the text bumps into the photos), but I cannot seem to stick handle the part where Blogger crops my photos on the right for no apparent reason! Perhaps some day we'll have to hunker down in the same cafe with our laptops ablaze and see if we can crack the nut together.

Great write-ups, videos and photos on the Folk Festival. Looking at all of this material made it feel like I was actually there, which sadly, wasn't the case. But I know, I know, you don't have much sympathy for me because with Italy vs. the Folk Fest, Italy wins. But I'm glad you had a fruitful weekend at Jericho Beach Park.
