I am sitting at my kitchen table typing this with a shower cap on my head, and under that there is a head full of bright red mousse dye. This is Folk Fest Preparation step #1. Step #2 is to pick out of outfits for the weekend. This involves quite a bit more organization than one would think. Thursday and friday are pretty straight forward. Saturday and Sunday differ slightly however. Because typically one arrives at the festival early in the morning while it is still cold, then the day gradually gets either hotter or colder, and you must be prepared for both occasions. Then towards the evening the mosquitoes come out, and it gets cooler as it gets dark. At this point, a person would want to be wearing full length pants and a sweater.

There is also a suitcase worth of junk that one needs to bring, sunscreen, fork, travel mug. The list is long, and my room is messy. I am really, really tired. I need to be doing something since I need to be up for atleast another half an hour.

I love you all.
