The last "full day" of the festival for me. My plans are to leave Sunday as early as possible. For me, today would be a much slower day, with not as much to see and do. I planned to wander the exhibition tent and check out Art Rageous, and generally relax after a very busy day yesterday, and in preparation for a busy evening. Main stage would showcase the O.C. Supertones, PlankEye, and Jars Of Clay, followed by Carolyn Arends at Encore 1.

I managed to catch Steve Scott for an Art Rageous seminar, where he gave a talk entitled "Bridges Over Troubled Waters." Steve is an artist, musician, poet, and philosopher; a man I have admired and respected for many years. I can't remember a festival during which I haven't seen at least one of Steve Scott's seminars.

After the seminar, I stopped off at the Insyderz press conference. At the p.c., after someone asked the band if they knew the "Star Spangled Banner," the Insyderz led the tent in not only the US national anthem, but also the Canadian anthem "Oh, Canada." (They gave the credit, or blame, to having watched a lot of professional hockey.)

Later in the afternoon, after I had rejoined Rick, we went to the Glen Kaiser led worship time in the Breakaway tent. Glen and wife Wendy were performing songs from his praise and worship album "Throw Down Your Crowns." Afterward, we set up a time to interview Glen about Resurrection Band's 25 years as a group, about the festival, and about the Jesus People. It would have to be during PlankEye's performance at Main stage - I guess if we had to miss one of the Main stage acts, PE was probably the one.

When we got down to Main stage, the Supertones were already on stage and the "moshing pit" in front of the stage was going strong. I have become more and more a fan of ska over the past year or so, but this was the first time I had seen anyone "skanking." Rick and I got up and tried a little skanking ourselves; as much as I enjoy the music, I don't think that this is something I will do too much of (at least not in public.)

After the Supertones, who despite the heat were wearing their "trademark" suite and ties, finished, Rick, Tad, and I left to meet up with Glen Kaiser. It took some hunting, but we finally did find him, and got him away from the crowd for the interview.

By the time we wrapped the interview and got back to Main stage, Jars Of Clay were about to take the stage.

Later at the Encore stage, we managed to be up in front of the stage for Carolyn Arends. Rick wanted to bring his label maker, because of Carolyn's video for "Seize The Day," but forgot it along the way. We stayed through "Seize The Day" and "New Year's Day."

After Carolyn's set, we headed to the Gallery stage, where Over The Rhine was doing an acoustic performance. We managed catch a good portion of the set. When Linford was introducing the band, he mentioned someone at the mixing board with a 6" squeaky nun. (For those in the know, this is a reference to U2's press conference, back in the early spring, when they announced their tour would include, besides the huge LED video wall, a huge arch to "fly" the speakers, a 40 foot lemon mirror-ball, and a 6" squeaky nun. Does this mean Linford is a U2 fan, I wondered?)

We got back to camp late, even for Cornerstone. The sky was overcast; no stars out tonight. Even the weather, which had turned cooler, was making it easy to give in to the desire to sleep.
