Sunday was a bit more chill; clearly the organizers had planned it well, with two great bluegrass groups in the afternoon, followed by SCI's final set and the late night party music. We saw Railroad Earth, then the Infamous Stringdusters. When Cheese came on in the evening, they opened with a bunch of good acoustic music joined by guests from all the bluegrass bands. We did a lot of chilling in the shade during the early part of the day, I enjoyed a good lounge session during RRE's set.
We even did a little shopping, checking out all the vendors in the festival. Aside from some food, we were good about not spending tons of money during the festival. However, since it was our honeymoon (really this whole journey is an extended honeymoon, if you ask me) we decided to get something to commemorate the trip. After our recon of the hippie shopping mall offered by the fest vendors, we decided on a set of spirit hoods. They are faux fur hoods with scarf 'arms' that have pocket paws on the ends. Russell got the fire wolf, and I got the snow leopard. I love them! They're going to be great on the playa. The company is out of LA, and they donate money to support the wild animals that the hoods represent. It's a cool concept; check them out! http://spirithoods.com/
During Cheese, Steven came dancing over and we had a great time during their final show. It was, as usual, a spectacular night of music. Three nights always seems to me to be the 'right amount' of music. I feel as though I got enough time to really enjoy and be fulfilled by the experience. Three nights of SCI was more than fantastic; now I get to look forward to three nights of Yonder Mountain String Band at North West String Summit! What a summer it's been so far - and continues to be!
