Well for my first official BF event, Honobia was interesting, even though I had to wait all day for what I considered to be the best part, Morehead & Scott Nelson were the last to speak, but worth the wait. The rest of it (outside festival) was kind of like a country carnival, colorful & something for everybody. (I was there mostly for the speakers) I thought it very cool to see at the end, the 4 main speakers on stage together: Morehead, Nelson, Igor Burtsev & M. K. Davis. I only wished that M.K. had spoken about the PGF analysis but his road trip to Bluff Creek was interesting to tag along on. Igor's enthusiasm is pretty contagious, really passionate, & even with his strong accent spoke slowly enough that he was understood for the most part. Most memorable moment: hearing the auditorium filled with the Sierra Sounds right off the bat (Nelson on stage, his intro, it came out of "no-where"!) at who-knows-how-many-decibels...rattled everybody to the core! (now I can die sublime...)
