Early morning rain

It's 4:10 AM. After a monster set from Lettuce and Soulive, the Late Night stage is quiet. I am about to fall asleep to the soothing sound of rain on my tent.

Quiet time in the park

There are a lot of staff here but it's still mostly empty. Generators are humming, and there are bursts of white noise from the main stage PA as they tune the system.

In less than eight hours I'll be on the air. For now, I'm enjoying the quiet time in a chair by the water.

Vibe Tribe Traffic Reporting with Waze

Radio Vibes always has spotters in the line on Thursday morning. This year we’re trying something new. There’s a moble app called Waze that combines GPS crowd-sourcing with traffic reporting. You can participate by installing it on your mobile phone. We’ll be watching Waze—maybe we’ll see you!

One of the neat features of Waze is groups. Look for a group called "Vibe Tribe." Any alerts you posted by a member will be seen by everyone in the group. Why not download it today and test it out on your way to the Phish & Furthur shows? Let us know what you think.

The night before the night before

The first part is done: mixers, microphones and CD players. Tomorrow we move the computers in and do some more testing.








It's still looking a little sparse without the rest of the equipment, and the other decorative enhancements.






The Ferris wheel is looking good, but it's kind of eerie in an almost empty park.
