They moved the BG Festival from New England to Cooperstown NY. I was one of about a dozen of the LE security hired on. I awoke to a massive hangover with Seldom Scene playing the Gospel Hour on Sunday morning. It was a beautiful natural amphitheater site.

Our biggest problem was quieting the camps so people could sleep. The performers and their staff got us well lubricated on shine. We all had a good time, sadly it never came back.
