Some Memories of Merlefest 2008

I turned 43 last Saturday whilst nestled in the foothills the mountains of NC attending Merlefest with some friends. It was only my second year attending and I'm already looking forward to next year. Not sure what makes it so great, the music or the friends--probably both--but it is an awesome time. Just a bit of who we saw (sorry for my blurry pics):
