We got a lot more done yesterday than I expected us to! I knew, since all we have left to do is stuff outside, that it would rain all week and we ended up putting up this 50 foot awning in a thunderstorm. Luckily, we got the thing tied down before it really started raining, but the wind was so strong that there were a few time where I thought we were all going to take flight. But, it's done so now the passholders have something to stand under in case it starts raining while they're here. Just keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't snow. That's when everything starts falling apart.

Famous people are starting to roll into town. I saw Ken Burns (you know, the documentary guy) wandering around town on Sunday with his daughter. He's here every year...and has a house here somewhere. Laura Linney and her fiance were also spotted on Main Street yesterday. She came to the festival four years ago as a guest and is now engaged to the guy who was assigned to show her around town and make sure she had everything she needed. So, she comes back to the festival every single year. She's very nice. We hear Gary Oldman bought a house in town over the past year so there's a contingent of us who have our fingers crossed that he'll show up too. He probably won't, but I'd stalk him if he did!

Okay, back to work I go!
