Album:2007:02-01 LindyGras

LindyGras again.
Better populated this year, but unfortunately many of the bands were doing
the 15 minute song thing. It got a little tiring. It was also another
LindyGras year that managed to coincide with large moments in my personal
life. So be it.
I also got to try out my new camera, the dinky Panasonic D-Snap. 2 Megapixel,
but not too shabby. Wish it was a little faster though.

Steamboat Willie,
