West Petaluma's First Annual Wetstock Music Festival

 

 

 

 

Those of us who don't possess any relics of fringed outfits from the original Woodstock and this fabled music festival's current revival efforts were treated to an afternoon of sublime August sunshine and music under the dappled canopy of a massive old oak tree in the wilds of West Petaluma, this weekend.

Not Woodstock, but Wetstock - at least that's my mantle for a fabulous first annual gathering of its kind in and around an inviting red barn on a rambling, old ranch in the peachy-grass expanses on the outside of town.

To tell you the precise locale would spoil the mystique of such a sublime spot for future developments of this inaugural (invite only) Wetstock concept.

Party hosts were sensitive to narrow farm lanes and delicate conditions of parched pastures, keeping crowd control to a manageable amount of familiar Petaluma faces and a few brave souls who dare to follow cryptic directions into the hills from surrounding areas. Pretty idyllic. And over by 8pm. My kind of music festival. Plus the bands were brill - though I have reasons to be biased!

Brilliant pics, especially the ones of Rocco and Bill in the middle. Course Sean always looks handsome to me. And John, what can be said about those twinkling Irish eyes? Gail looks like a teenager...Must be something in the air out there?
