We JUST got back from Cornerstone Festival '09....I am bummed to say the least.  I've been there for the past 3 years, and even though it's a tiring event, I feel like 2 weeks out there would be much more satisfying. ; D

I met SO MANY amazing people this year. I made it my goal to personally try to connect with everyone that I met, starting with knowing their names. I did my very best, but anyone reading this that I had an opportunity to talk to and I do not mention: PLEASE message me....I truly would love to stay in contact with my C-stone peeps. It'd be awesome to see you all more often than once a year...perhaps when we tour! Thank you to all that came to Don't Wake Aislin shows, bought from Inventage and had Anais or I tat you up with Henna, ALL THE STAGES THAT HAD US PLAY....EVERYONE who made this week an absolutely unforgettable experience:

MUSIC:
Sean Michel - Crazy awesome blues artist with the most ridiculously awesome beard!

Men As Trees Walking- Such a unique approach of Jazzy-Eclectic sounds
