There's the music, and then there's the show

The 10,000 Lakes Festival isn't different from other live shows in that there's more than the aural experience. Whether absolute strangers greet you with a hearty, "You're special!" or the toughest decision of the day is trying to watch fire artists, random hula hoopers, or a team of people decked out in glowsticks dancing... there's a show. On the other side of the security barrier some bands invest heavily in lights and interactive installations. While Lindsay Kimball tracked down music in and out of the bowl, I tried for photos at WookieFoot's night show.

Keep your eyes on the lights and spinning umbrellas:

Or stick to the edges and do the obligatory dial:

You'll never believe where I'm calling from!


As we experience both the music and the show, we'll try to bring it to you. The photo slideshow on the 10KLF page is updated regularly, but those seeking instant gratification can follow thecurrent10kl on Twitter, because I try to frequently update with images.

Check Saturday's music schedule and hey, don't be shy, comment here with some photo requests.
