Reggaefest

Current mood: fare thee well

While the crowd was large, loud, and intensely cheerful, I just wasn't in the reggae mood. I'm not sure if it was the mugginess, the fact the I was not drunk or otherwise chemically altered, or that I just don't like the music, but likely, my first Reggaefest will be my last. I did like the second group, Ozomatli - their crowd-working and energy was infectious,and I couldn't help but join in. But I think a lot of that had to do with their Latin and world-beats rhythms. When it got back to the hard-core reggae with Bunny Wailer (the cutest, funniest, little old guy), I immediately lost interest again. I suppose, if I had wanted to get the real experience, I should have stayed for the Marleys but I just wasn't feeling it.

Ah well, my last concert of the season went out with more of a whimper than a bang, but there's always next summer! See you later, Wolf Trap!
