The way it was: 6th Annual FLORIDA BANDANGO Recap

PHOTOS OF THE EVENT (NOT ORGANIZED OR EDITED IN ANY WAY) ARE IN THEIR OWN PHOTO ALBUM ON BAAMO’s MySpace. GO TAKE A LOOK. MAKE A SARCASTIC COMMENT. IT WAS A VERY GOOD TIME…

Here’s what some other people had to say about it:
Kudo for Ronny & Rebekah from Billy Altman, one of the original writers for Creem;
Mention for Johnny Mac (who was completely fabulous);
Editor’s blog from Mojo Magazine;
Sylvie Simmons’ blog for Mojo Magazine;
Pictures from Mojo Magazine;
Another mention in The Daily Q;
Review & current playlist (he’s playing Ronny & Rebekah) & a photo of Ronny & Rebekah (for now) on dj Steve Terrell’s blog;
Even a review from Joe Nick Patoski, perhaps one of the most highly respected music writers working today on his blog.
giddy up, helicopter! had a photo essay of their trip published in the March 21, 2008 weekend edition of tbt* (select page 31 for all images & text)
And who knows what else lurks around the corner. We’ll post it as we get it.

Special thanks to our guest Floridians: Sylvie Simmons, Malcolm Holcombe, Ed Harcourt & Guitar Shorty.
