Hello everyone,

Bow and the guys and an army of volunteers are getting things ready for this weekend's Tweed River Music Festival.
We figured that since there was so much rain over the past couple weeks that those clouds would have rained themselves out... well, it looks like that is likely to happen but it will be down to the wire. The latest weather forecast for the Stockbridge area on Friday is partly cloudy with a chance of showers and then Saturday intervals of clouds and sun with only the chance of a scattered shower. The temperatures will be below normal (highs around 70, lows around 50)... so, here's the scoop:

The Festival is happening, rain or shine.
There is a tent for some audience shelter but it is not large enough for the entire crowd so please do bring umbrellas, tarps, raincoats just in case.
Temperatures are likely to dip at night (50s) so bring some warm clothes.
Despite all of the rain we have had recently, the Festival grounds stayed quite dry.
We are all committed to having fun.. oh, and did you see the incredible line-up of music you are in for? So no matter what nature throws our way we will make the most of this occasion and have a fantastic time!

It just occurred to me that this is very much in keeping with the Trainwreck... things can look good, then bad, then worse... then it all seems to work out -- let's trust to positive karma, dear friends, and great music!

Peace,
