Date Festival

Recorded: February 20, 2003 around 7:44 pm | Audio

A trip to the Riverside County Date Festival, starring Mickey and Lauren, Angela, the kids from the center, lotsa goats (and other livestock), some awesome and not-so-awesome karaoke performances, and more than a few windchimes.

Yes windchimes. In the second track, “Wandering Ear,” I appear to have walked around for two hours recording everything in sight (so to speak). Thankfully this happens to include the one and only performance of the famed “Squidy and Pete” duo. You can also hear Angela’s triumphant and decisive win for her performance of Devo’s “Whip It” (although I can’t seem to find the performance itself—let me know if you find it). Also featured: a goat who didn’t know she was a princess. Or a princess who didn’t know she was a goat.

Give it a listen.
