Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth. -Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (1709-1784)  

Hi Paolo et al! Sorry we didn't manage to give you a call before I left for Naramata. Looked for you at Folk Fest last night. We are there with Flamin' and Sarge. Will drop off Cora Lee this morning for the Birkenstock 500 and then return home leave car and ride back. 

[Chloe Alexis Dunn Enjoying the Saturna Island lifestyle!!! But back in Vancouver wishing my mamma Corinne Durston a Happy Birthday!!! Have a great Hippie living time at the Folk Fest!!! Love you!!!]

We will be in Winnipeg for Colleen Rennison & Steve Dawson. Leave on Tuesday after recovering from Fest and packing on Monday! I'm entered in the Whistler Granfondo on September 6th so Eliza Gilkyson, [Plan to see her at Stage 3 at 3:15 this afternoon.], concert is probably out for me. Cora Lee might well be interested, however. We usually "stake our claim" in the general area just beyond the Disabled Seating Area and the Main Stage. I'm sure we'll connect at some point. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Hello Aging Hippies, et al! Just a quick note before Logistical Support Team begins swinging into action, in preparation for The Birkenstock 500! Had a grand time last night. Few sprinkles just before last act on Main Stage. I left shortly beforehand, to cycle home, as did Sylvia. Die Hard Hippies, CL/Flamin' stayed, as did Sarge, trying to bust hop heads! Sarge had his paddy wagon so they brought tarps, coolers, etc., back after night was over.

Cora Lee's 67th birthday today so I've arranged to have her do back-up vocals with Joan Baez tonight on Main Stage at 9:50 pm! Hip Hip Hooray! Cheers, Patrizzio/Dad!

Hey everyone !!! Can't wait to see all of you who are coming tonight. Just in case you don't know our buzzer call Marvin's cell if you get lost !!

PS: Whirlygig, where are you? How are you? Terribly sorry we didn't connect before wishing you Bon Voyage. At any rate, Sarge and I finished off a bottle of cask strength Bowmore to toast your new life on Galiano. Is it true you are the Witness Protection Program?
