Freak Mountain at the Laurelthirst Pub: legendary! This is a group/cult/family event. The regulars in the audience have been doing this for decades. Some of these folks in the band were with the Holy Modal Rounders. It is a loose group with Michael Hurley sitting in sometimes and other times not. The music is stellar, the crowd is positive and orderly and pleasant while being throughly into it at the same time. Serious music and a serious audience.

2007-02-11 6:00 until 8:00 was actually 6:30 to about 8:30. There is just about a full two hours worth of music here.

The mic was about 11' up and about the same distance from the bandstand. It is hard to get closer as the space in between is a dance floor and passageway between the front and back rooms, the john and the pool table. It was a great night. Enjoy!
