Great day in the park, some brilliant performances too. Faithless were good, imo, but not great. Ozomatli rocked, Yacht was ace. The local dudes trying to be homies is simply hilarious, the MCs were woeful too... drop the homie act, it's bullshit. Only small lines for food and drink and toilets too, bonus. Roots and shoots staff were lots of fun :) Good job organisers, build on this for next year! :oD

Yue Festival report: Talib Kwali was amazing - but stuck with a poor time slot. (Really? 4pm?) Super VC was the best of the local bands, with a "Killers" vibe - especially with the ties and jackets. Good sound. Yacht was strange, but in a good way. I can't imagine he has a big following in the US, but maybe he does. Ozomatli tore it up - great great party band and for a little bit made me feel like I was back home. Viva la Raza! Odelay! Faithless? Dull. Dull. Dull. In a more general sense, we had a great time - especially since, compared to abroad, it wasn't that crowded. You could stretch out, nap in the grass, draw on some shoes, get a beverage, didn't have to wait for the toilets. I hope the organizers raised good money for Roots + Shoots, and just as importantly made it financially viable to do again next year.
