* I just rolled in from a weekend at the Summer Camp music festival in Chillicothe. Wow. I’ll tell you more about it some other time because I gotta get the Fax out to subscribers ASAP. But for now, here’s a live version of a Trigger Hippy song I’ve posted before. “Rise up Singing”…

I live near one of the state highways that leads to Chillicothe. The local police (county & city) pool their resources (bringing in officers from towns 30 miles away!) and set up shop along the state highway beginning in Wednesday night. They stop and search all the young people with camping gear. Personnally, I can think of more productive uses of those officers’ time.

I only saw one person pulled over on Friday and nobody pulled over today. And the cops were super chill at the venue itself.

All is well.
