Saturday Night Vibes
It's been quite a day here, starting with rain. The storm blew out to sea when Assembly of Wine hit the stage. Kung Fu tore it up, and the fun continued all afternoon. Umphrey's McGee melted faces as darkness fell and Waful's lights took effect. The field is packed for Widespread Panic and The Disco Biscuits with Billy & Mickey.

As ready as we're going to be
We got a little taste of what's to come. The stage looks and sounds good.
Of course, this is what radio looks like. This year we even have color bars.
That's it from backstage at Gathering of the Vibes tonight. We'll be on the air chatting with Cliff Furnald beginning at 8:00 AM, and the Radio Vibes Kickoff show begins at 10.
Remember, WPKN's regular irregular schedule of programming will continue all weekend on the stream at wpkn.org.
Happy trails!
Meet the crew: Gordon Taylor
Gordon has moved on to his role as Main Stage MC with Wavy Gravy, but without him, there would be no Radio Vibes. Gordon started Radio Vibes as a low-power FM broadcast back when Vibes was at ILCC in Mariahville, and helped GOTV and WPKN to forge a relationship when Vibes moved back to Bridgeport in 2007. You'll hear him sitting in with us on Thursday morning, and popping in throughout the weekend, but mostly you'll hear him over the big speakers on the concert field.
Thanks for everything, Gordy! Be the garnish.

Meet the crew: Cliff Furnald
Cliff Furnald ei ole tuuletinta musiikkia ympäri maailmaa. Hän on kauan kannattanut vanhentuneen välineisiin kuten muuttuisi haitariksi ja hurdy-gurdy. Cliff liittyi Radio Vibes miehistön keskellä 2012 festareilla, ja alkoi työskentely voimakkaan sademyrskyn nostattama vesi tulvi joka aiheutti tärkein vaihe sammuttamista. Hänkin piti niin hän on palautumassa hänen kolmannesta vuodesta kanssamme. Kun hän ei ole kirjoittaa musiikkia, Cliff käy onnistuneen korin väri alpakkabeige tilalla. Laiva teki Kessel tee alle 12 parsecs. Cliff can be heard on WPKN every Thursday morning 7-10.

Meet the crew: David Golden
David organizes things and wonders if the pieces will hold together. Radio Vibes was an accidental project in 2007, but has turned into an annual obsession.
In what seems like a lifetime ago, he went to Dead shows. He's an Umphreak now, so you might see him on the rail Saturday night.
Meet the crew: Zack Foster
Zack is in his second year in the Radio Vibes crew. He has extensive college radio and festival experience, and is a natural fit for our crew. We know this because not only did he not quit halfway through Vibes last year, but he came back. When he's not locked inside our trailer editing audio and watching the board, you'll see him on the Radio Vibes golf cart assisting Janet A. Golden as she interviews the Vibe Tribe. Zack is a veteran of WXCI, and currently toils in commercial radio.
Setting up
New year, new gear. We're finally bringing in digital audio. Our trusty Yamaha mixer is in mothballs this year as we use an Edirol digital mixer. David Schwartz is our technical lead, and we couldn't do this without him. He's hooked us up for every broadcast since 2007. If you hear a live remote broadcast on WPKN, he probably is involved. David can be heard Sunday evenings at 10 on WPKN.

Meet the crew: Janet A. Golden
Janet assumed the role of field reporter the first day of Vibes in 2007 when she grabbed a Marantz recorder and walked into people's camp sites asking what they were making for dinner. The resulting montage began an annual tradition of visiting campers all around the park and bringing back a verbal picture of the festival—as told by the Vibe Tribe.
Look for Janet wherever you may be around the festival. Don't be shy—we'd love to hear what you have to say!

While you're waiting ...
Today begins the last full week before Vibes. While you're organizing your camping supplies, we have some things of interest to the Vibe Tribe happening on WPKN 89.5 FM (streaming on wpkn.org) today.
- 11:30 a.m. – Interview with Ken Hays, owner of Gathering of the Vibes. The festival returns to Seaside Park in Bridgeport the weekend of July 31st, and WPKN will once again be broadcasting "Radio Vibes" throughout the weekend.
- 12:00 noon – Interview with Roger McNamee from the band Moonalice. They played the Vibes in 2009, and are coming to FTC Stage One on July 29th.
- 12:30 p.m. – Sunday Brunch Concert: God Street Wine. Playing under their stealth name Jon Bevo's Love Orchestra, this is a rare appearance by the full original lineup of another Vibes alumnus. Recorded live at Garcia's at the Capitol Theatre on July 10th. Three members of GSW will combine with members of Assembly of Dust to perform at this year's Vibes under the name "Assembly of Wine."

Less than two weeks away!
We're in the final run-up to Vibes. Today is a big test of our new AoIP system (audio over IP) for sending the feed from Seaside Park to WPKN's studio. We are planning to keep as much as we can in the digital domain, from the main stage soundboard right up to the computer feeding our mixing board at WPKN. That means a lot of tinkering and testing, but we're up for it.

WPKN/FTC benefit tomorrow night with The Grand Slambovians & Hamell on Trial
WPKN—the proud home of Radio Vibes since 2007—is co-presenting a benefit concert tomorrow night in Fairfield. This is an opportunity to hear some great live music, and support the area's best alternative, community radio station.
This Thursday, June 26th we're at the Fairfield Theater Company where we co-present together with the FTC a rare CT appearance by The Grand Slambovians— who pioneered alt-folk/americana staying on the fringe of the music industry. Think David Gilmore meets Duane Allman meets David Bowie! The opener is the personable, heavily acoustic amped Ed Hamell who goes by the name Hamell on Trial. This is a benefit for both of our non-profits. Tickets are online at fairfieldtheatre.org or via the box office at 203-259-1036.

The Vibes Schedule Looks Like Fun
Has your head exploded yet? Check out the schedule! Start planning your weekend now. Friday looks like a roots, reggae, and American fest on both stages. Saturday is off the hook with Umphrey's, Panic, and Bisco from 7:30 PM until 1 AM. Sunday looks pretty groovy too, with Maceo, moe., and Marley. That's just the main stage. We'll be broadcasting as much of this as we can (subject to artist agreement).
