'Utopia' is the word that comes to mind when I think of the Doe Bay music festival I attended last weekend on Orcas Island in the San Juans. This 3 day event was set in an idyllic, beautiful setting (as the pictures below will attest) where music could be found at almost any place at any time. People were friendly, shared a common interest in finding the joy in life and had a feel for community (my blanket left accidentally behind was easily found the next day). Bands were mostly local and you would find musicians joining the crowds, easily transitioning between fan and artist. This was most evident when following a rousing game of volleyball, one of our opponents grabbed a guitar and started a music set mere feet away from court. In fact, this festival was so good and special to me that I almost don't want to write this blog in fear of more people knowing about it (it sold out in 3 minutes this year!). Doe Bay, I will see you in 2012! Much love!

We sat for a while to take in the view and just so happened to see porpoises
