What, NEFFA?

Re NEFFA (New England Folk Festival):

The Good:

1. Dancing in the rain and the threat thereof. Bampton Trunkles = Wet Baldrick Contest.
2. Watching other teams, including NiiceDuudette I's team and its rapper debut.
3. Helen Schneyer tribute.
4. Jammers by the courtyard window committing random acts of familiar folk (e.g. Dylan and Stephen Foster) for practically the whole weekend.
5. GREAT BIG SEA! Not part of NEFFA but part of the weekend as we went to their concert Friday night in Northampton, MA before proceeding to NEFFA. For the uninitiated, this is a band from Newfoundland that takes traditional songs and rocks them out. If you get a chance to see them live, DO!
6. SPEEN! (tm Twinkletoze, aka Niiceduudette II).
7. Got much done on a certain baby gift.

The Bad:

1. Fucking Massachusetts divided highways in which EVERYTHING you need to get to is on the other side and getting over there is a massive fustercluck.
2. Mass. blue laws which restrict beer sales to liquor stores. Very much a pain for those of us accustomed to picking up brewskis at supermarkets, gas stations, drug stores, etc. at all hours.
3. Parking at NEFFA, which makes parking at the Dance Flurry look like a walk in the park.
4. Twink left a bag behind containing Very Important Stuff -- all replaceable, but what a pain.

The Ugly:

My whites after dancing in the rain.
