| 2nd Annual Neil Young Fall Campout (NYFC) The weather outlook was bleak, rain, cold, even snow. But the spirit of Neil prevailed and the sun shown, it rained until about 9AM that morning, and it was a balmy upper 50's. With a little help from some plastic sheeting, dry wood, some "hot toddies", rubbed ribs, clams, sausage peppers and onions, chili, etc, and various other entertainment pleasures the crowd stayed warm, well-fed, and happy. Bugs opened the show with some solo work, then was joined by longtime high school friend, torrid guitarist and bagpipe blower, Chip Devereaux. Later in the night they were joined by Mike Ives on bass and guitar to round out the Baby Snakes The Baby Snakes alternated between short 4-5 song sets lasting between about 30-45 minutes each then breaking for shots, beers, and clams. Setlist: BUGs: Bugs solo: Ambulance Blues No More Love is a rose War of Man Homegrown Music Arcade Don't Cry No tears I've been waiting for you Bugs and Chip: Baby Snakes I've been waiting for you Driveby Mansion on the Hill Losing End Around the World Mansion on the Hill Something Happening Here (Buffalo Springfield) From Hank to Hendrix Around the World Going Home Citizen Cain Jr. Blues Too Far Gone Encore (Baby Snakes and Down by the River various crowd members): Trans Am Rockin' in the Free World Cowgirl in the Sand Piece of Crap Over and Over Eldorado Razor Love |

| Dave, Jon, and Charles trying to coax the "square salamander" into existance. But, to no avail. Pouring vodka into the burner didn't help, nor did the chanting of ancient prayers. |
