DMB Caravan



Dave Matthews Band Caravan made its third stop of the summer at Governor's Island on Friday. It was supposed to be a 3 day festival like the rest of the stops but Hurricane Irene changed those plans. I did get to attend the fest all day on Friday. I started the day on the 10am ferry to help set up the WCS booth for the ecovillage. When gates opened at 1 we got to watch the festival ground fill up and feel the energy level rising. I got to watch most of Soulive, OAR, and all 3 hours of DMB. The average attendance at the other dates was 40k a day, and I'm sure we got close to that.
I was afraid I wouldn't be allowed to bring the larger camera so I found the old Canon Powershot from 4 years ago. I'm happy to have some pictures of the day even if they are lower quality. If the dates are rescheduled and I am able to attend, I will definitely bring our T2i.
Hope everyone weathered the storm ok. Nothing to report here!
