The party really got started, for me, at twilight, when I got to Tyler's Parking Lot in time for a quick cuddle (figuratively speaking) with the Tim Smith band, before my dance date with Saludos Compay. Particularly inspired by the guitar-driven cumbia, Manu Chao cover "Desaparecido," a Mick Jagger lookalike did noodly dance steps, with a tall can of Clamato Chelada in one hand and a cigarette in the other. They were very well-received, I looked around and saw lots of heads bopping, feet moving. I won't describe every song in the jukebox, but blog-relevant: I did catch Razpa's set.
Real kitchens and bars offer food and drink (especially drink) fit for grown-ups. Music lures into courtyards, concert halls, grassy knolls and parking lots.

Streets and sidewalks are full of people venue-surfing, giving the pleasant sensation of urban bustle in an area with the geographic footprint of a village. They do it on a Sunday, when parking is eased, and the coup de grace: they make it free. They get local bands to play, all day and evening long, at over 20 indoor and outdoor venues within strolling distance. What a great concept for a festival: instead of herding people into a narrow, fallow tract, the town of Carrboro transforms their whole downtown grid into a living, breathing festival space. Carrboro Music Festival (9/28) was the best way I've spent a Sunday in a long time.
