HW: OFF: SD'2K/Quarkstock

[K Henderson]

Hi Folks...

I don't have the energy right now to post a full synopsis, but the
Quarkstock event, while not massively attended, was a fabulous event with a
great spirit, and everyone there seemed to really enjoy themselves.  Thanks
to everybody who made the effort to show up!  The bands (and Jim's SolarFire
lot, and Thom!) really travelled a long way to get there, and managed to
summon up the energy to put on a really impressive show.  The Quarkspace
'crew' were excellent hosts and the event was very well organized and all
the bands got their allotted time with minimal delays!  Much better than a
lot of major fests I've been to!

Jim L. made a lengthy announcement about the upcoming SD'2K, and the need to
get more fan support for the event, lest the Nelson Ledges folks decide not
to continue hosting them.  He did hand out little flyers promoting the
event, and there was a short list of some of the gigs that have been
scheduled for the travelling SD tour...but of course, I failed to bring one
home with me.  So I can't post the info right now.  There were six or so
dates listed, some of them 'TBC' still.

I'm sure they will be up on the www.strange-trips.com site soon, but I'll
post them if I get them first.

They have a SD'2K message board up now, for questions and such...Here's some
important info I've summarized FYI...

We did lights there this weekend and the music went till about midnight. The
campground has alot of red tape to deal w/ and have almost been shut down.
If you look at their web page NLQP.com you will see that they posted
something like "the last few fests have gone well and the county is giving
us more leeway now."
