June 2012
The rain yesterday definitely put a damper on people’s moods and show attendance, but the artists kept the show going for Wakarusa 2012.
There are still two great days of music left, hopefully with better weather. Here are the shows you will not want to miss for Saturday of Waka:

Thursday at Wakarusa started in the afternoon for me. After the Great Campsite Shuffle of 2012, I headed out to see one of my favorite electronic artists, Phutureprimitive. He has great technique and puts on a generally fun show! Plus, there was a sexy fire dancer lady performing on stage with him - this is always a big plus in my book.
Umphrey's McGee has just announced a slew of fall tour dates, now on sale through Umphrey's ticketing. In classic Umphrey's McGee style, they will hit the pavement hard in September with a smattering of dates throughout the Midwest and down the east coast.

I’m here! I’m here! I’m so excited to finally be here! The first night of the festival was incredible--cooler weather made it feel amazing outside at all the shows, and after wrapping up in blankets or whatever they could find festival-goers seemed to be out in full-force through the night shows.
After taking a few hours to recuperate this morning (maybe check out the yoga or hoops), here are the shows you are not going to want to miss for Friday of Wakarusa.
12:00 p.m. Dank Sinatra
