Green Man

I've been away at the Green Man folk festival in Wales and it was pretty marvelous although a tad wet and scary in my little tent on the first stormy night. It gradually brightened up though and the music was great and the people who I camped with were very very lovely indeed. I just wish I was still there, but imagine how stinky I'd be by now... And my hair would be crawling. Highlight of the festival for me would be a film we watched in the cinema tent called Vali. Its a "documentary" about a 1960s witchy reclusive who lived in some grotto in Italy and freaked out the local children with her hippy attire and orange birds nest hair-do. She also had a wild/pet fox (don't ask, but she like rubbing her face in his fur). Ahh cute. Apart from the fleas, of course. And she collected really ugly dolls. And she was probably the most bizarre lady I have ever seen. I wonder what she's doing now?

I've been neglecting my little blog and there's an increasing back log of little projects that I'd said I'd do for people. Argh! Sorry!

I've just noticed that you wrote a review for the Channel 4 site - cheers! I don't check that one as often as I should.

Wow, cool one, as usual. The people you are doing stuff for must be really lucky ;-)

Have a great day, keep up the great work!

The Green Man is one of my favorite archetypal figures. How fun to be able to go to a festival sort of remininscent of that! I love the music that tends to gravitate to those folks festivals. They have a huge "Folk Life" festival every year in downtown Seattle that is absolutely surreal with the amount of *very interesting* people and musicians and attendees it attracts. Love going.
