- Wook Patrol Podcast: Bob Horning's Vortex, Magic Mars, and Late Night
The Wook Patrol returns with episodes recorded from the campgrounds at Horning's Hideout for the Cheese festival in Oregon. The Joker and Wildo are on hand and throwing down all weekend. Here's the latest three episodes featuring Bob Horning, Lord Farquha, and Mr. Flamingo.Episode 11: Bob Horning's Vortex - The Joker had a Sunday morning chat with Bob Horning, the gentleman who allowed String Cheese to host a festival on the park grounds. Even though he's on call 24/7, he tries to see some of the music. Horning explains that the festival has gone off without any problems. He wasn't surprised to see the "mothership" because the surrounding area is a vortex for unusual happenings.
Episode 12: Magical Mars with Lord Farquha - The Joker interviewed Lord Farquha who describes Saturday's events as "being on Mars." Lord Farquha also explains the importance and significance of the emergence of the Cheese and the overall scene at Horning's.
Episode 13: Late Night with Mr. Flamingo - The Joker lost his voice so he had Mr. Flamingo share a spun-out story about the happenings from the previous evening including the service dog they encountered aptly named Late Night.

Переслать - String Cheese Incident Horning's Hideout Saturday / Day 3 Recap
"Horning's Hideout is the best festival in the universe! Even the aliens from the Galactic Federation are here."
It was so cool and mild yesterday that most all of us were able to take naps and sleep all day. I took some time to update the blog and eat some lunch, then took a much needed nap from 5-7pm. I only mention it because it is so nice to be at a camping festival where the weather is perfect and cool.
-Carrie from Tahoe
Cheese came on right on time and once again the energy at Horning's was off the charts. If there is a word that is a notch above awesome...last night was that word.
String Cheese Incident
Horning's Hideout Show #2 7/31/2010
Set I: Lester Poem, Black Clouds > Rhum n Zouc, One Step Closer, County Road Blues^, Freedom Jazz Dance^, Way That It Goes, Cedar Laurels, Ring of Fire > Black Clouds
Set II: Ritual Set Jam > Rivertrance > Jams > Rivertrance, Joyful Sound > EOTO Jam, It Is What It Is > Orion's Belt > Piece of Mine, Search > I Know You Rider
Encore: Sirens, Texas
^w/ Bill Frisell on guitar
Highlights in the first set for me where Rhum & Zouc, Freedom Jazz Dance, a high energy jam out of Cedar Laurels, and the crowd sing along for the Johnny Cash classic Ring of Fire.
The first set was fun but it is impossible to not focus on the second set of last night as the highlight of the show, quite possibly the highlight of the weekend. At set break the production crew politely moved the crowd out of the flat area in front of the stage to make room for the dancers and performers during the Ritual set.
It is difficult for me to describe what I witnessed, and pictures and video will never be able to do it justice either. Fire dancers, a huge peacock illuminated in light and fire, hoopers, an alien spaceship moving through the woods to hover over the stage, an acrobat floating above the crowd from balloons, all complimented by amazing lights and green lasers. Combine all of this with a energetic crowd in costumes and full of love, simply put last night was an incredible and positive experience.
Musically in the second set I was loving the It Is What It Is > Orion's Belt > Piece of Mine, Search > I Know You Rider. I thought the Pink Floyd-ish jam of IIWII > Orion's belt was fabulous, and the ending segment of Search > I Know You Rider had everyone singing along. I grew up in Texas, so the Texas encore never gets old to me. I thought it was well played and put it together with the eye candy and people, it was magic.
After the show I had one of the best late night adventures in the campsites - possibly ever - in my festival going career. We must have walked 20 miles from 1am to sunrise wandering through the maze of trails in the campsites up and down the hills of Horning's. Everywhere we went there were people laughing, dancing, singing, and generally loving each other. String Cheese Incident at Horning's Hideout is a celebration of being alive. I joked last week as I was coming to Horning's that I wanted to meet the fairies, elves, wizards and other assortment of supernatural creatures in the woods - and I did. We walked around with lightsabers and tried to get lost and discover something new. It was beautiful.
At sunrise a 500+ person crowd gathered to watch bubbles over the lake. The alien spaceship was still hovering over the trees in the distance as the sun came up. We sang happy birthday to Jerry Garcia and sat in awe of the beautiful people and surroundings.
To sum up, the Cheese Horning's Hideout experience is something bigger than the sum of its parts. Those of you who are at home listening to the soundboards or the iClips broadcast are sadly missing out on a lot of what is happening here. It is difficult to explain how magic works, but I can assure you it is real and I have experienced it here this weekend.
As a personal note - I have worked very hard to be present and enjoy what Im experiencing, to be excited to be exactly where I am supposed to be and not wishing someone else was by my side or the band was playing a different song. Perhaps that is why I am blown away by the experience and the music. Music is a portal to my soul, and if I keep my soul full of love and positive thoughts then I am able to create this reality. Everything has come together for all of us here to create something truly special.Переслать - NUGJAR Race: From Berkeley to Telluride

"Hell of a first night" - Billy Nershi
I woke up about 9 am and the campgrounds were still a cool and crisp 60 degrees. It was such a nice festival morning compared to the other camping festivals I have attended the past few years in the south. We mingled around the campsite for a little, ate a light breakfast and then went to yoga class. Yoga was attended by about 200 people and it was exactly what I needed. I loosened up my weary legs and set a positive intention for the day.
One of the great things about the expanded stage setup of Cheese Horning's this year is the series of workshops and talks held in the afternoons each day. I missed Jamie Janover's talk about physics and how everything in the Universe is all connected. Several of my friends did go and they were all extremely excited and empowered after hearing him speak. Life, death, energy, matter, space, time, dimensions…they were all discussed and Carrie's mind = blown.
My friends Alie and Roz are very creative and funny couple I met last year on Jam Cruise. They have a collection of stuffed animals they carry with them to shows. I met Schwilly B. Monkiee on Jam Cruise and at SCI Red Rocks I met their sock monkey Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks has a army helmet as part of his costume because he is Tom Hanks from Saving Private Ryan. I took some time to make Tom's army helmet into a disco ball helmet on Friday afternoon.
The first music I saw of the day were the Pimps of Joytime. They. Are. Awesome. If you get the chance, go check them out for a funky good time. They aren't just another funk party band- their music is a porn soundtrack from the future.
There has been a very large sandwich making the rounds around the campgrounds and the shows - Deli the Chopped Pastrami (pronounced Dell-eye the Chopped Pastram-eye). The sandwich is fake but it looks very real an delicious.
I was lucky enough to get a shot of Deli sporting the disco helmet I made for Tom Hanks with his owner.
It seemed like I was already having one of the best festival experiences of the summer, and the band I came to see had not even played a show yet. Cheese took the stage and the energy in the crowd was electric. The set list:
String Cheese Incident Horning's Hideout
Friday July 30, 2010 (Show #1)
Set I: Smile, Missin' Me > Jam > Wheel Hoss, Sometimes A River> Born On The Wrong Planet > Under African Skies > Climb > Miss Brown's Tea House#
Set II: Black & White, Been Down Low, Sittin' On Top Of The World, Song In My Head, Water > Dirk > Jungle Boogie >Dirk, Bumpin Reel > Drums > Bumpin Reel, Restless Wind
E: Hey Pocky Way#
# With the Soul Rebels Brass Band
The Smile opener was perfect. Everyone, and I mean everyone at Horning's had a huge smile on their face. The love and joy coming from the crowd and band alike was powerful and unlifting. The jam out of Missin Me was strong but the real fireworks in the first set was the Born On The Wrong Planet > Under African Skies, Climb, Miss Brown's w/Soul Rebels Brass Band.
Kang was layed into the jam in BOTWP, playing long beautiful notes with heavy delay, echo and distortion. The energy from the crowd during the Paul Simon favorite Under African Skies was fantastic. Next came Climb and Kyle laid down some funky piano solos before Kang ripped the shit out of the jam. Miss Brown's Tea house answered the question of whether or not there were going to be any repeats from Red Rocks, but the Horning's version featured the Soul Rebels horns and was a fantastic performance.
Billy Nershi came out in a goofy looking leather helmet with goggles on. At some point he put glow sticks on his head to look like antennae. Set 2 began with Nershi telling the crowd "Prepare for liftoff!", and a guy next to me kept on yelling "We love you space travel Billy!" It certainly felt like we were on a different planet and in a different time - where had this band been for all these years? Cheese is back, folks.
Highlights in the second set included Water with a floyd-esque chill start/stop jam. Nershi sang to us with his beautiful slide guitar that later gave way to a more intense and powerful jam with a release. I loved the dirty funk of Dirk > Jungle Boogie > Dirk. It was straight nasty funk with Kyle laying into the clav.
Most everyone was blown away during the drums section sandwiched in the middle of Bump & Reel. The front four walked off stage and left Travis and Jason on stage to do their thing. Instead of taking the music to an EOTO style jam Jason Hann showed off his incredible skills with the congas and djembe. Usually when Panic or the Dead play drums it is a chance to go to the bathroom or get a beer- not last night. Hann had everyone grooving and my jaw was on the ground when Hann started scat singing over his furious rhythms. To add to the fun Nershi teased the crowd from back stage asking through the mic "What did he say? What did he say?"
The encore featured the Soul Rebels Brass Band once again and Cheese transformed Hornings into a New Orleans funky dance party with an excellent version of The Meters "Hey Pocky Way." Hell of a first night, indeed.
Beats Antique played immediately after Cheese ended at a second stage close by. I was impressed by the first part of the set but left early to go back to the camp site and chill out. The rest of the night was spent wandering through the campsites, playing guitar with strangers, finding old friends and making new friends. Carrie carried her jellyfish umbrella, complete with reflective tape and a black light. As we wandered through the campsites the jellyfish was a mini celebrity among the happy cheese heads.
My friends Nancy Shennaniganz and Hillski were at String Summit 2 weeks ago, also at Horning's Hideout. We got the idea for them to bury treasure for us to find during Cheese Hornings. Hillski drew a map, sealed it, and give it to me to keep safe until we got together to hunt for the treasure at dawn.
A weary spun out and drunk group gathered as the sun came up and we opened the map. The treasure hunt took about 30 minutes to complete, mostly thanks to our guide Rachel. The treasure was an assortment of costumes, kosker sea salt, wet wipes, and other inside jokes among the group. I am excited because I got the bug glasses - they are just plain goofy to wear and im excited to add them to my prop collection.
Its hard to believe we have another 2 nights of Cheese - we are having an amazing time, the weather is mild, and the vibe is friendly and overflowing with love. I expect tonight there will be more eye candy and theatrics...stay tuned!Переслать
