LOTUS FEST LOTUS FEST LOTUS FEST!!!
In case you didn't notice the downtown roadblocks, hoards of ethnic music-loving hippies and huge lotus-bearing banners, LOTUS FEST started tonight!! And although I have yet to step foot into a tent or venue, I've been having so much fun, hearing bands and street performers play on the sidewalks, including featured Lotus act Frigg. Of course, forgetting my laptop at home, I had to come back but this time I'm bringing my camera to show off the performers inside and outside of the tents.

Opening night @ the Buskirk
Hi all- I'm perched on the balcony at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, catching the first act of tonight's three-band "Northern Realms" show, Waltz with Me (members Annbjorg Lien, Bruce Molsky, Mats Eden, and Christine Hanson). The Lotus Web site describes the band as the "brainchild of Norwegian Hardanger fiddle virtuoso" Lien, and incorporates bluegrass, Celtic and Swedish fiddle to create a sort of graceful yet epic tone.

Your lifelong dream of being on "The Real World" might be closer.
Andy Warhol once said that "in the future, everyone will be famous." At this rate, I guess so, since everyone will be on the "Real World" with the shows ratings decent( I guess?) and folks still wanting to get that 15 minutes. You could be the next Puck!!!! On October 4, from 10 a.m.

24th annual Live From Bloomington submissions due Nov. 15!
If you're anything like me, you have no actual musical talent. But if you're not like me and an IU student/Monroe County resident, you should get your friends together, jam and record some tunes for Live From Bloomington. Submit your jams and if the higher ups feel it, you get to be on a great compilation and play the yearly LFB Club Night.
