Sooo many miracles and acts of kindness this weekend. It goes beyond a music concert and into our lives where I know I can count on you guys for support. We affirm the faith that no matter what is thrown at us…. we will pull together … and do it with style and smiles !! a family that plays together stays together 
“Be Fearless and Play” was put to the test this weekend. Mark and I used to live on a Sailboat. As Captains you never really know how good a crew is until you weather a storm together. We would… and will …. proudly Sail anywhere and everywhere with you ! love – Respect – and thanx to all of you
We had completely surrendered any hope of playing. We were hunkered down under the stage ready to go down with the ship when the whiskey came out. In a fit of liquid courage Patrick made a mad dash into the storm…. and returned with his Bag Pipes.
We started with piping and clapping and singing Irish tunes of valor. Then as the rain let up we made it up to the stage where Joe threw down on the sax and Buku spun fire. Then Chris Berry plugged in the mbira and started in with some chanting and Jenny came up and danced. Gilli of Luna fire and I got the drums going and a few other jumped in while Butterfly bliss did a fan dance. Then Matt Cartee got his kit put back together and Larry showed up with his bass. The whole stage was a whirl with technicians trying to set back up what we could. Cole got the front lights to come on and Scooter was added to the mix. We flipped the monitors over so the gathering crowd could have some sound and suddenly ….it was all together !!! Mark looked over in shock and excitement and said ” its go time”. Eventually the mains were added and performers kept showing up. The crowd swelled as the sound swam through the park and summoned everyone back home. It was sheer raw energy and by the end the bowl was packed and we were all singing together…. Welcome Home. A very surreal and cathartic experience, a true team effort, and way beyond our expectations. Thanx soo much to Matt James and his Amazing stage crew for putting in that effort and making magic happen.. ! lol jojoxoxo

We totally rocked that storm!!! So glad I made it out to Project this year. Always heard good things and finally experienced the family vibes my self. I wouldn’t have changed anything for the world. My favorite part of the whole weekend would have to be watching the first round of storms, friday night, from the wood shaq. Beer in one hand, camera in the other..i stood bare foot atop the wood as some fellow park family members and I watched the storm pass us by. It was a true once in a life time experience!And that wasn’t the end of it.. Saturday nights show by wookie was amazing! I will never forget dancing to an irish jig in a foot of water. Thanx so much guys for playing in rain! Cant wait to see what next years project will have in store for us;)
With love~Jenny “with a Y”
