I'm totally slacking, just a supervisor this festival - only have to look after one beer tent per night (instead of ALL the beer tents, all the time).
I'd probably be a little more excited, if there was someone on the line-up that I wanted to see...

If it weren't for C, we'd be writing programs in BASI, PASAL, and OBOL.

the young couple that lives besides me got a VERY cute puppy a couple of weeks ago - now, the young couple that lives across from me also got a VERY cute puppy. #cutenessoverload

OR what to do with an unfinished future subway station... turn it into a trippy temporary attraction.

It was SO busy in all the beer tents tonight! Reminded me of years ago. The crowd was HUGE and everyone was nice and patient/understanding - in stark contract to some of the crowds "earlier" in the week. I think this picture was taken 2 hours before Tom Petty hit the stage. Bluesfest 2017 ended on a high note for sure :)Bluesfest Day 10 (1 of 2)

Shortly I'll be leaving for what will likely be my last day volunteering for Ottawa's Bluesfest. I'm sad, and a little angry about it. This is my 9th year volunteering.
I've kept my leaving on the "down low" with most people - but last night, the cat was let out of the bag, to several of the "key" volunteer leaders. Today, I'll be telling the regular volunteers in my area - and saying my goodbyes to many others.
Tom Petty is the headliner tonight - it is a "sold out" show - which almost NEVER happens at Bluesfest. Should be an interesting day.Bluesfest Day 9 (different shot of Muse)

1) a camera, without a SD card (currently still in the computer I'm writing this from!) is useless.
2) in MANY ways this was a difficult Bluesfest day :( main bowl had Migos followed by Lil Yachty -- and an EDM headliner Flume
the camera can still be used as a webcam, probably :D

Lots of young people = many issues at the beer tents and not a lot of alcohol sales

While holding the door for a fellow volunteer last night, she told me "I just put a picture of you on Bluesfest's Facebook page"... Turns out, it was also posted to the regular website as well, although it seems the link isn't working currently so thumbnail only right now... http://www.ottawabluesfest.ca/photos-day-2/Stephen Sekula, jxself likes this.
