Very first Blottumnal Equinox.  One day camp out at someone's house adjacent to a corn field.  Blotto set a huge stage up there for them, Chester Brown and any other bands that were scheduled to play on. I don't think any of the other bands got to play? They had problems with the power all day and night long I assume because they didn't have the correct voltage or something similar?  Plus it rained on and off all day and night.   The power eventually went out during a cold rain storm.  Blotto played a total acoustic set between the two electric sets while they tried to figure out the electrical problems. Charlie Stout has the only complete Electric Sets of this show.  He's looked for it but never been able to find it.  Kind of a bummer becasue the second set was killer.

As I'm prone to do sometimes? I over served myself early in the day and slept through a good portion of the show.  I woke near the end of the second set to find that no one had started the bands CDR recorder. Thought Dan had it covered but he did not. So I got it going.  That's the reason for the partial set.  Went looking for Scott and found him asleep in the pop-up camper. It rained and was cold. Becca wanted me to sit down after the rain had ended.  She told me to, "sit down in that chair!"  It was dark and we had no idea the chair was full of water!  As soon as I sat down my enite backside was soaking wet. It was very cold out and I had no change of clothes. Scott and I slept in his friends pop-up camper which was bascially falling totally apart.  No heat and had leaks all over it.  Needless to say?  This was not a very fun experience.
