Spent last weekend at the Strange Folk Festival. I got to help out with setting up the 10 different bands that the event had. Special thanks go out to the The Luminary Center for the Arts for also helping out with the bands and getting them scheduled to preform and a bit of the set up. Really need to learn more about sound engineering but I'm getting there.
Both days seemed to have a very nice sized crowd in attendance. Lots of interesting vendors this year showing off their warez. Very cool event as always.
Volunteer hour wise it put me at 300 hours on the nose. Pretty rare to land exactly on a number but cool.
Think the complaint towards the event being gay friendly is crap. It's everybody friendly and it happen to use Nyan Cat as part of the advertising. Because NyanCat is funny in an annoying way.

Strange Folk Festival 2011
Another volunteer opportunity in the can from the Strange Folk Festival. Lots of interesting art and Strange People. Got to hangout backstage of the music and help with the setup of bands. Watched over booths for an artist and sold a few pieces of art in the process. Even helped out KDHX on the street team. Gave away CDs, stickers, temporary tattoos, and a few t-shirts.
There is a certain aspect to these events that really draw me in. It hits a nerve just right where I think I am almost maximally optimal. Being in the moment, making things happen. Its this idea that is where I think a part of my ISTP mindset just comes alive. Need to figure a way to possibly monetize this idea that I like being part of the action hands on. There is the short term purpose that drives me there but I get to walk away and do something different at the end of the day or the next weekend. Really like the hands on aspect of these events,the chance to see some cool "stuff" (not really always stuff but could be ideas or a neat product or food). The people, they are always pretty cool at these events and always out to make the event really work out.
It's all just a really neat adventure at these events. I've really only just started.
On a side note, let me know you're out there and post a comment about something or a question.
