A very few pictures from around the New England Folk Festival
April 2009, Mansfield MA
[Pictures are linked to larger copies]
The "clouds" in the auditorium, with a few lighting fixtures peeking out through the odd triangular pockets -- the only real front-light option. |
The way to get up to the ceiling: the ladder is in a closet off the band room. Catwalks go forward from there to where the lights are hung. |
View down to the stage past said lights, where Clyde is explaining something or other Genie-related to the crew that's about to go up in it to focus over the stage. |
A small rip was discovered in the cyc during this; I followed the wiggling finger and we slapped a quick tape patch over the hole. |
Out front at the high school, from across the street. Later in the day, with the Morris dancers more or less finishing up. |
There were more food vendors outside this year; not surprising given the totally gorgeous weather prediction. |
The usual traffic cluster, adroitly managed by the Mansfield PD during the heaviest times. |
Did you know that Morris dancers can levitate? |
Bad shot of
band
and caller setting up for a long run in the middle school,
which would segue into the Contra Medley. Taken from all the way across
the gym, and somewhat improved over the optically-challenged original with
aggressive smart-sharpening games.
[Eden is very energetic on her fiddle, and wicked cute...] |
George from the MIT Israeli dance group, festooned with drums. |
