Trying to elevate this soul of mine.
Def-i
Today was a day of music at the Dolores River Festival! There’s still a couple bands to go as I write this, but so far the standout has been Def-I. Hit play on the sample above to check him out. There isn’t really a lot to say about the day. I enjoyed the scenery, music, and a couple Mancos beers.
There was some fun people watching, but none moreso than “Spinny Guy”. When I got here a little after 11 he was already up front, just to the right of the stage spinning/dancing/trying to do headstands/push-ups/body slams/running in circles and any other movement that entered his mind. My first thought was “drugs”. As the day, and spinning went on though I concluded that he was only high on life. His endurance was miraculous. At the 5 hour mark he was still going strong. He even acquired a stick at some point that became s part of his dance. All the more impressive, I think he is 10-15 years older than me. I assume he’s going to be hurting tomorrow.
I know I’ve mentioned this a lot, but it was a constant thought all day: I wish the rest of the family was here with me. It really would have made the day perfect. Molly would have loved Def-i and sampling the fruit wines. Ellie would be enamoured with all the dogs. Zoe would have been laughing along with me at each of Spinny Guys new antics. It’s amazing here, but also lonely. Get out here, fam!
I’m not sure fruit wines are my cup of tea! Ha!
Herb Erblinger would disagree. Fruit wines should be everyone’s cup of tea.
