Jade Festival, Day One

An hour and 1/2 into the festival, I finally was able to hook up to the wi-fi. Photos when I can, but the weather is absolutely beautiful. Perfect temperatures, mellow crowd, great music … a wonderful way to spend a Friday afternoon.

And now, for the very rare photo of BigSurKate seen with Steve Finch, SCCLT Board President.

Not many photos today, busy with volunteers, t-shirts, coffee mugs, and meal tickets. Hopefully, more tomorrow.

Remember, we open at 10 am tomorrow, and the weather should be even better! This from NOAA: “THIS [the stronger ridge of high pressure] WILL TRANSLATE TO ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES OF WARMING EACH DAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.”

Woohoo! Bring it on. See you tomorrow, right?

  • Hey Kate..Question..Is that the same Steve Finch that use to be a park ranger down here in Pismo? Kind of hard to tell with that beard and all of us aging just a bit. If it is please tell him Maryann says hi..That should be a blast from his past...LOL

  • I hope we can make it. Rob's alre4ady been 'back peddling' like he's not interested. Real reason... is my daughter. Oh well if not this year maybe next. BTW... you look fantastic Kate!!! :)

  • :) Truly rare photo. Finally, I know what you look like! I love these photos you post of your festival.....

  • LOL. Yeah, I am the one with a beard! 2 years, I have managed to avoid showing my face - now, oh well! I hope to get a bunch more tomorrow, but opening day is always a tad hectic.

  • It's lovely to see your beautiful face Kate. Much too nice to hide :) I spent my Saturday running a course on creativity. It was delicious sunny day and went very well. Now it's Sunday morning and I am off to a 350.org event (a meditation and drumming circle in Warburton) I will think of you on the other side of the world playing under the same gentle sun.
