there are way too many people like that in the bay area - i like burning man in that 90% of them leave for that week.

well anyway

they all seems like wayward people that should be encouraged to migrate to South America

xp late great: I wonder if Sage knew Dress, a guy with the same m.o. who lived in West Oakland, who regularly wore dresses

possibly, he was definitely a player in the rainbow family scene. i don't know if i remember Dress - not the long bearded ex-journalist dress-wearing old dude who lives around berkeley campus and was unofficial king of the campus garbage can drum circle? this was way back when, i was there 95-01.

there were a couple of 60s beach boys / jack kerouac looking burnout acid heads (my age) that he would come around with and i still see those guys in the mission and around east side of golden gate park occasionally, they always give me this look like I KNOW THAT GUY but the circuit doesn't quite connect.

oh wait i'm thinking of HATE MAN

you guys, I have a college friend getting married in the Cities at the end of August, is it too much to hope that he got WOOKIEFOOT to be his reception band

I don't think it's too much to ask that you attend a WOOKIEFOOT show while you're in town and report back to us.

i meant the upper haight, not the mission

standing in front of el balazo playing guitar for burrito money

did el balazo close?

This artist does not have any upcoming shows...

I should be like ;_; but really I'm like ^_^

El Balazo better not have closed. (Was open last time I was in town.)

Find out where the Wookiefoot bar is and hang out there in case they jump onstage for an impromptu ~jam sesh~.

DJP if you do that and there is a jam sesh and you go on stage and jam with Wookiefoot, I don't know, I will give you like $200.

sheesh

My knowledge of the existence of Dress occurred around 2001. He was a friend's downstairs neighbor and kinda a controlling dick.

xp - I went to Amoeba SF a couple months ago and Balazo appeared to be shut down.

Full disclosure: The author of this post is eating an El Balazo carnitas super burrito as she writes this. And it's delicious.

n.b. I was there the day of the Haight St. Fair. (I did not know that the Haight St. Fair was going on until too late.) I did have some pretty delicious lemonade, so I can't condemn it totally. I think I must have been out of town for it the year I lived in the Haight.

i wonder if they went to jail for 2m in unpaid taxes or for hiring 70 undocumented workers, my guess is if they'd paid the taxes they'd be facing a lighter penalty

Working in a MN record store for many years meant having to hear lots of dudes tell me about Wookiefoot. "I guess their singer spends a lot of his time in Peru. A lot of their lyrics are based on his experiences there." (actually this mighta been the Big Wu.) Selling tickets for all those Harmony Park fests was the fuckin worst.

there is also moe. moe. the band with a period.

BIG WU

oh ha they aren't from MN. i just thought they were.

You guys think Mpls is all "Husker Du! Prince! The Two Guys Who Did "Little Dog"! Replacements!" but really everyone is all "Wookiefoot! Big Wu!"

I definitely think that third one a lot.

Do The Two Guys Who Did "Little Dog" have crazy creatures on stilts though

I also assume everyone is actually from Brainerd but moved to Mpls for the big city allure.

mankato, st. cloud iirc

mankato is dope

i met a girl from ucsd online who's username was EREHPSMOTA

whose whose whose

KILL THE GRAMMATICAL FIEND

This modern day jam band / Wookiefoot scene needs its very own Charles Manson figure to make it more interesting

LOL wow

Sweet jesus. LOL i used to be in a band like this. A dozen members, all dressed in zany clothes, fire dancers & hula hoopers performing during songs. We sounded like orchestral anti-folk/indie rock.

Haven't listened to this tho, my laptop's audio is dead. Can anyone describe what it sounds like?

I think you just did.

Holy crap, I've seen this guy (or one of these guys) on television - he's one of the principals of the Oakland pot dispensary that was featured on Weed Wars which inadvertently became one of the greatest reality shows ever.

This guy...

I had friend come back from Harvestfest one year and he was literally unable to stop smiling, turns out that the phrase "open air drug market" wasn't an exaggeration. He said he and his friends dumped coke, molly and speed into a bag and took rips out of it. Didn't sleep for 3 days.

Wookiefoot were playing that year.

They used to open up for shitty nu-metal bands all over southern Wisconsin.
