These two photos show some of what was happening on the stage. There I am in my lumberjack outfit leading the audience in some happy activity. Notice how cool the stage is with real stage lighting and scaffolding for the PA. The stage is covered with a tarp. It had rained all afternoon (creating alot of mud). Just before the Bag started, the stage crew had pulled up all the 4x8' sheets of plywood and turned them over so the dry side was up.
