Thanks, Imperfectly, for the heads-up, they possibly will be my new favorite folkie-women band.

Had a great time! Will even let the organizers off the hook for bringing in all those non-Detroit musicians, good music is good music, no matter from where it originates.

Those "dinosaurs" are a performance act called Saurus. The Close Act company of performance artists has a number of different acts. Find out more about Saurus here: http://www.closeact.nl/content /actsstory.asp?ActsID=36&ACT=S AU’RUS&lang=E

And check out some of their other acts too!! Way cool!!!!

They really freaked out the kids when they showed up at the end of Saturday. I'd bet they caused some missed sleep for a few of 'em.

Did anyone else see Angela from Project Runway selling her rosettes (and some purses and belts and stuff)?

I was so excited when I spotted her!

The Carolina Chocolate Drops were also superb--an all-black country string band from North Carolina that reconnected with some of the African-American roots of that music and also looked forward to jazz, blues, and even some acoustic hip-hop. Thumbs down to whoever scheduled them opposite the Wailin' Jennys (whom I also enjoy), but I guess there was a lot of good music to hear. And yes, the dinosaurs were really something else.
