It’s been pissing it down for weeks and the summer was in serious danger of going down as the worst washout ever. But this weekend along came Tales of the Jackalope, our boutique music festival / 24-hour party, and it brought back the sun and the fun and turned bummertime into summertime. We had 5,000 people partying under thousand-year-old oak trees in the green and pleasant grounds of a stately home called Kimberly Hall. As darkness fell, the amps were cranked up and everybody cut loose and had a good time. Check out the photoblog.
