Well I thought it was going to work but it's not........ Due to reasons beyond my control I am not going to be able to attend this year's fest :( I was looking foward to matching text with faces, I guess I have to wait another year. Let me tell you a litle bit about myself, so you can pretend we had a real and wonderful getting-to-know-eachother moment. I am 28 years old.....I grew up in southwestern NH, but have traveled to France, Italy, Jamaica, and Mexico, and lived in northern CA for several years (Arcata). Obviously my passion for Joni is due to the fact that music and poetry have been a main focal point throughout my entire life. I've been listening to and loving Joni since I was a wee little girl and now play her music to my 13 month old daughter, Nya, all of the time (I also have my husband hooked!). I can't pick a favorite period because everytime I think I have a favorite something else fills my head and I am reborn again!!! Currently I am full blown obsessed with DJRD, lisening over and over and over....soon it will be locked into my DNA code. I am an intense daydreamer and and at times impulsive to a fault....I have my degree in Art History but plan to try my hand at silversmithing/jewelry design once I stop being a stay-at-home-mom. Other music I enjoy: Neil Young, Nina Simone, Jill Scott, Greyboy Allstars, JAZZ< JAZZ AND MORE JAZZ, almost all Reggae, Stevie Wonder, Michael Hedges, and of course Bob Dylan. Reading is also a passion, my walls are lined with books of all sujects: quantum physics, tons of Alan Watts, Buddhism, Dutch Renaissance painting, several geological studies of New England, Ella Fitzgerald's biography, and lots of Kurt Vonnegut....you get the idea...I like to read! Well sorry if I've bored you, but it was cathartic for me, it's just like we've sat over a dry martini on the porch at the Full Moon Resort. The sad part is I'll have to wait for next year to hear your stories :( I hope this year's Fest is wonderful and tickles you all silly. See you next year! Erica NP: Mother Hips, The Bikini Song
