FloydFest Virtual Scrapbook 2020

Welcome back children of the corn. And what your people call corn my people call maize.  The 2020 festival drought continues as FloydFest joins the throngs of gatherings to be postponed until 2021. Not an easy Xanibar to swallow, to be sure. Like a shimmering comet on a perfect orbit around the sun FloydFest has and will continue to be a beautiful constant on the music and camping festival landscape. World class jams, heady vibes, family fun and one of the finest “scenes” in the festival world, make this a non-negotiable for many festivarians. It’s the FloydFest Virtual Scrapbook 2020.

Thank you.

This year the wranglers are celebrating FloydFest with a virtual scrapbook sponsored by viewers like you. Thanks to everyone who contributed personal photographs for the montage. Some of them are out of focus. Some of the photographers are out of focus. Some have been taken by professional photographers, many have not. All were willing to share a small piece of their festival memories as part of this larger mosaic. Look deep and see the different stories in the multitude of perspectives. Join the tribes and families with their own unique tales wrapped up in something ultimately common and familiar.

Welcome to Delta Lot. If you don’t know now you know. Lost and forgotten are the stories of the off-site camping for Floydfest, with it’s menagerie of poorly trained poi ball twirlers. Is your tent on fire? Watch out for fake news. Who wrangles the wranglers? Maybe you need to adjust your vibration…

“He claimed to have been abducted by “space people” and was reasonably offended that he had not been probed or at the very least “intimately fondled”.

Virginia is for thugs.

From Shawsvegas to Floyd, these are the last of the revelers. Lost in the sacred dance of the smoked swine. From the forgotten wild men of Delta Lot to the savage vagabonds of the Dead Cat Society. Do your eyes deceive you or are those matching Airstreams? Bring on the duck gumbo. FloydFest is home to the original Roanoke Mafia and the entire Kamp Happiness Appalachia Annex. All are welcome. Send in the clowns. It’s time for the Saturday night Cheese set.

Come sit a spell. This ain’t no time for that ball and chain.

“Tell me what your heart wants.”

This is Kamp Happiness. You’ve found you’re way young grasshopper to Mecca. Believers be anointed. When you’ve fallen too far for fresh glitter, you get ground glitter. Mixed with Virginia red dirt and ready for the bomb.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed. Ain’t nobody makin’ no money here.

In High Country moderate isolation continues and as a result of climbing meat prices we have been forced to eat the dog. Don’t worry. Not the Chihuahua. She’s scrawny and needed elsewhere in the kingdom. It was Digs, the bull mastiff and he was given a diet of peanuts and rosemary for the last month to ensure quality flavor. Le purrr.
