1. Cool!

That's great. Are you involved with this project? I was curious what kind of guitar the lead player is using, haven't seen it before or at least didn't recognize it.

Also I dug this link out of the end of the movie, it's worth passing along too on its own, good stuff there: http://windstreampower.com/

3. Hey yourself!

Cool you got my nick, China Cat. I'm a Jerry -style (sort of) guitar player, though I've never plugged into a solar bus yet. What part of the world are you in? Northern California here. We do have festivals that run off of solar stages, and it wouldn't surprise me if I've seen your bus around, though if so it didn't register in memory.

4. VT

my bus has never been on the west coast except for when it drove kids to school

i saw dark star orchestra tonight in burlington. very nice.

I'm also a "Jerry -style (sort of) guitar player"

ever seen the band Clan Dyken? they almost always play on solar

5. DSO Tonight?

I've seen them many times, love them. How were they with Mattson? That's a big change, though I'm sure he's up to it.

The new Furthur band with John Kadlecik is really good too.

I've seen the Dykens many times over the years, though it's been quite awhile since the last time. Some of the times I saw them they were playing on a solar PA that served the whole festival, I was never clear on whether it was their rig or if it was run by the festival (not too uncommon around here, maybe not in Vermont either).

Glad to make your acquaintance, and keep in touch if you want, always great to connect with people like yourself. And sorry to hi-jack this thread, this probably belongs in a private message.
