I went in with a plan this time. I also brought a hoodie because it got kind of cool last night. Maybe it was the adrenaline and the dancing warming me, maybe it was warmer than last night. The side stage had a setlist, which ended up changing somewhat and Albino Mbie was delayed.

Tierra has a cat that is black with orange spots and I'm thinking "aww, like a reverse jaguar." and a gray cat with black spots. She thinks that when she's in a tall building, it would topple over or she's fall out. She has a tattoo that says ☪☮e✡i☯† on one arm and a map of the continents on the other arm. Skye has a niece or something named Tiara or something.
Amd I'm happy to say that it's almost possible to write that in unicode. The e should be merged with the ⚥ symbol and the i should be dotted with a pentacle.
A guy was playing the reverberated acoustic guitar at Downtown Crossing, like a Rastafarian Vini Reilly.
Two people had bright sea-blue hair, one close to the surface and one deep but not so deep light can't reach.
A guy had a Star Wars Abbey Road t-shirt.
A woman has tattoos of lilies, of an apple with a snake inside surrounded by two birds, she has pale blue and pale pink and pale yellow hair.

Analog Heart is friends with Mei Ohara and she says that they're really good and they are. I bought their album and got an EP for drawing them. Liz has a pendant of the Ring Nebula (I thought it was the cat's eye nebula, her friend thought it depicted the earth in the galaxy), which is gas being expelled from a red giant star turning into a white dwarf.
Mei Ohara sang too. The last song she sang was the David Bowie song How Lucky You Are and she's glad that Phil knew it and I thought it sounded familiar but I didn't know it by name. I told Mei that I want to paint her portrait in ink and watercolor pencils one of these days. She had pale green hair with a black braid in front and a purple braid in back.

SkyBridge has four vocalists, Haiini from India, Utako from Japan, Njoki from Kenya, and Tash from Boston. They have four instrumentalists, Yuma from Japan, Taruki from Japan, Calvin from Indonesia, and Minjae from South Korea. Tash says I got her eyes perfectly. They're big and blue and she kind of looks like Emma. The Emma of Atlas Lab, not the human Emma I met today and definitely not Emma the dog.
She sang in Tamil. She sang an ode to hardship in Japanese with an English chorus about how without rain, there can be no rainbow. They all sang about things that don't make sense.

Jodi Dodge is a folk singer from the west coast of Canada and this is her first time on the Atlantic coast.
If I had access to Youtube, I'd interrupt with a clip of Sam The Eagle saying "CANADIAN? What, turn this off immediately!"

A woman with a tattoo of Navi walked by. I should have yelled "Look! Listen! Wake up!" at her.

The Treehouse Charlatans play raw bluegrass folk with a didgeridoo, and he even beatboxes into it. They had a fiddler/banjoist who's off in Colorado or something. Maybe he's at a wedding, who knows. I'm pretty sure he isn't. They made the most of it.
Lucretia's an artist and in my drawing of her, held a herring gull's feather. Britney has a cicada ring and a snake ring and wants to keep in touch with me in case she has any need for cartoons and caricatures in the future.
also ugh, I've obviously been busy for the last few days and not being active on facebook as a result of being busy and so Facebook is flooding my inbox. I loaded the main page and then closed it before bad things happened. Hopefully that stops the spam.

Bird Mancini has an accordionist/melodica-ist as well as the standard guitars and drums. They had four CDs available, I picked Funny Day.

Albino Mbie is a blend of Mozambican and Portuguese traditional music and jazz. Drum kit, keyboard, machete (the Portugueuse instrument, not the knife), guitar, African drums. Ukuleles are actually based on the Portuguese machete. Zili Misik played one of those things too, along with an African harp.
Two of the members are from Brazil, one is from Senegal, one is from the US.
He was singing in Cicopi, which is a really nice-sounding language.

Theresa Sophia raps and recites poems about fuckboys and being a fuckgirl because she let herself be manipulated by fuckboys and mental health and the burdens thrust upon people with dark skin. The schedule listed The Treehouse Charlatans twice.
She's Haitian and Phil is half-Haitian. He says that nobody ever thinks Haitian. I was thinking Middle Eastern or North African, or maybe Latin American. He says that he spoke Kreyol before he spoke English.
Her name is Kat and she has a dog.
I liked the way Jasmine's braid looked so I had to draw her.

Emma had hair in two knobs and there are streaks of red in it. I was extremely unsatisfied with my first drawing of her because she noticed me and was really looking forward to it so I told her to pretend it didn't exist.

At least it's not like the two people who had to move, which means she had to drastically change her position in the middle of being drawn) because some assbutt needed to smoke. I'm just going to say I don't care about your rights. I don't make seagull chow in your smoking area, although maybe we should find a gathering of smokers in places where they'll blow their smoke in the faces of people around them and soak dog food and chop up dead fish that wash up on shore.

I met the most happy-hyper dog ever and her name was Emma too. She crawled under Sabrina the not-teenage-for-many-more-years bitch.

I danced myself exhausted to Zili Misik and Federator. I've heard both of them last year but it's nice to hear a full set by both of them.
I thought that Charlie was in one of the bands because she was carrying around some band stuff but actually one of her friends is the trombonist in Federator. I thought she was referring to Zili. I'm not super-satisfied with my drawing of her due to her position and the lighting conditions becoming less than adequate but she loves it anyway.

Zili sang about love before she sang about how black lives do matter.

Lila of Federator sang a song she wrote called Wake Up and it was their best song, they sung a Nigerian song about something gentleman or something, they sang a Fela Kuti song as performed by James Brown.

burning question: what does everyone in Kakariko Village do for a living, anyway?
