This past weekend I made the discovery of a little diddy of a shin dig known as the Winnipeg Folk Festival. I-can't-believe-I've-never-gone-until-this-year. I only got to go for one day, and even though it was the winding down day, it still was good enough for me to never want to miss it again! The music was great, the dancing was fun, the people were warm and friendly, the food stands offered more choices than I could have ever wanted, and the porta-potties were surprisingly tolerably clean.
I made a new musical discovery, for which the 65 dollars I spent at the gate was finally justified - Final Fantasy (not the video game, but the great genius of Owen Pallett, that is). I ditched the main stage and 5 of us squeezed our way into the thick crowd of eager listeners to this incredible show. One dude with a violon, looping different melodies and rhythms, and his sidekick chick placing moving images on an overhead projector. What an experience. Loved it.
The first chance I got I scurried my way half way across the city to get my hot little hands on the cd. Mmm. Good music tastes good.
