I have gratitude today for...

* Lorin calling her niece when I told her I was trying to figure out how I was getting to AC.

* Getting a ride with Alex and Merideth to AC for DMB Caravan Weekend

* Meeting Lindsay and discovering we both spend a good amount of time in Avalon during the summer

* drinks in the hotel room before going to the festival

* how well organized the festival seems to be.

* Scott & Michelle letting us stay with them this weekend so we didn't have to drive back and forth to Avalon after the shows.

* Seeing TR3, G Love, Ray Lamontagne & Dave Matthews Band at the festival.

* Citi VIP Lounge; the DMB t-shirts and Live Trax CD they gave out as 'welcome gifts'.

* Ian saving us a spot up front for the DMB set and watching the show with Michelle, Ashley, Ian & Andy.

* Michelle getting 'Friends of the Band' VIP passes; free beer during the whole show!
