Gainsville Green

So I had my first real taste of the whole Hippie scene. It was good, bad and rockin. I believe watching this show created a hunger for live music. My buddy M. and I had heard of this festival in Gainesville called the Alachua County Music Harvest. 2 Days of Music and camping. So we loaded up my 1986 Volkswagen Golf and headed out. The ride there I don't really remember but I remember rain. It let up as we arrived and stayed away for a good while. We set up the old blue canvas A-Frame tent and smoked a phatty and headed out. We got to the field just as Spider Monkey taking the stage. The were a local band that did well but never made it quite as well as they had hoped. Their live show was sick! Then came De La Soul and they tore it up and to finish the night George Clinton phunked it up. I remember dancing in the mud and believing I was at home. The show ended and on the way back to camp the skies opened up once more. We huddled in the tent and smoked till the tent turned green. I awoke at around 4:30 in the morning to our tent being flooded with a couple of inches of water. As I went to wake up M. I notice a furry critter in the tent. I took my flashlight and low and behold a dog had adopted us for the night. Where did this dog come from and why us? I guess we will never know.
