Carborro Music Festival

Cat and I popped over to the Carborro Music Festival today.  We spent the majority of our time in Roulette - a vintage store co-owned by Kara who I met through Ele.  Before browsing (for me at least, Cat got a cute top) we grabbed a bite at Tyler's Tap Room.  I'd only experienced this festival once before two years ago, when I headed out to see some friends in Nola play.  That day was pretty much wrapped around them, so I didn't explore much apart from catching a great bluegrass band after they finished.  Cat and I had no idea it would be such a hippiefest, which is fine with me, I'm just not too into the jam band genre.  I'd have really enjoyed it as a freshman in college sans bra sporting patchwork skirts and birkenstocks, but now notsomuch.  I still maintain that Phish is a decent band, contrary to indie cool opinion.  We listened to snippets of music that seemed to go nowhere and stopped to check out the "hola hoop girls".  There were lots of these.

All in all, it was just great to catch up.  Cat also hooked it up with some tapes to tide me over until my CD player is installed.  Fugees, John Lennon's Imagine, funk compilations, and the motion picture soundtrack from Basquiat.  Also, was able to borrow smoking hot cocktail dress for upcoming Works of Heart.  Thanks Cat!
