2001-08-12 || 12:26 p.m. Celts Ashley MacIsaac was the last act of the fest (of course). Well, he didn't insult the crowd or piss on anyone, but neither did he bring his usual rock-the-place-down band. We left after his second song. It was nice to see that there were bands from pretty well all of the Celtic peoples were there: Obviously there were bands from Scotland and Ireland and Brittaby, but there were also groups from the Isle of Man, Astorias and Galicia, Wales, Nova Scotia, PEI, and Qu�bec. Which reminded me of the last time I was there, walking around with ExLover. We met up with a friend of mine from Connecticut and her father. Her and ExLover *loathed* one another. ExLover said it was because the Friend wanted me, but I don't think so. I *did* notice the Friend pointedly ignore ExLover the entire time, though, so there was *something bad going on between them... Anyway, there was a Breton band playing, and the father said that he found it strange to hear French at a Celtic festival. I told him about Brittany and Qu�bec's Breton roots, but I don't think he understood. Too many peope telling him that 'Celtic' equals Scotland and Ireland, I guess... Anyway, something weird happened to-night. In front of the main stage was a large empty space where people were congregating for the main event. People went off to the tents and brought back chairs, which was a good idea, seeing as the main event was four bands. The weird thing was, though, that everyone arranged the chairs in neat, tidy rows. I mean, no one told them to sit in rows; hellm there were no rows in which to sit, so people went off to get chairs in order to make a few. I know that there's a cynical comment on free thought just *begging* to be said here, but I'm too exhausted to articulate it. |
