moe.down takes over NY mountainside



The Daily Collegian, published daily for the University of Massachusetts, had a write up about moe.down IX this morning.

On the last weekend of the summer of 2008, most University of Massachusetts students were relaxing and rearing for their trip back to the Zoo.

Yet, on a small, ski mountain in Turin, NY, Moe-rons (a self-given nickname for fans of the band "Moe") were raging hard, flaring and grooving wildly to top-notch groups such as The Presidents of the United States of America, The Yonder Mountain String Band, U-Melt, The Benevento-Russo Duo, The Sparrow Quartet featuring Abigail Washburn & Bela Fleck, Levon Helm, Fishbone, The Brew, The Macpodz and of course the explosively titillating rock-blues-experimental-cowboy-free-flow-space-jam band: Moe (or jam-band for short).
If you can get past the misspelling of the band name, there is some "interesting" writing in the piece:

One Moe-ron, Jeff, called out in the spirit of Moe-rons everywhere for an evolution in consciousness. He claimed that the world has had too many revolutions already and it is time for our species to evolve. Revolutions bring nothing but more of the same. From his perspective, every action has a reaction. There are so many actions taking place so why not try to make them good ones? For our actions really do matter. In fact, every action has the potential to change the world. If this is true than we can also control our own destiny to some extent?
I am bit curious how he knew about the .down (and if he was at it or just reporting). No matter; to check out the rest of the article CLICK HERE.

moe.down IX article/review up on Jambase.com

Jambase.com has nice little write up about last weekends moe.down IX. Here is the opening paragraph:

It's an old adage really, but it works nonetheless: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Nine years running and as fervent as ever, moe.down lured over 10,000 fans from around the country to beautiful Upstate New York over Labor Day weekend. As if on a schedule of rain every other year at the event, Hurricane Faye worked its way up the coast on Friday, yet dissipated by the time it reached New York State. A gray fog hung over the mountain on Friday and dropped a sprinkle of rain that glazed the grounds. Otherwise, we were graced with glorious sunshine.
