EOTO at Belly Up

Travis, the drummer from String Cheese Incident played with his new side project, EOTO at my new favorite venue, Belly Up here in Aspen. Travis has been growing towards electronic music for some years now, and with String Cheese no longer touring he’s had the chance to play around with his new musical interests. Any who, the show was great, the venue is amazing. The first time I saw EOTO play was last year in Park City, and if you scan back in the archives you can find my entry from that show too.
After the show he hung around the front of the stage and so did we. Brisa introduced herself, we told him how we loved the show, and then seeing the opportunity I decided I had to take it. So I pulled out my card and told him, “In 2012 I’m planning on throwing a very special music festival on my family farm in Alabama. It’s going to be more than a music festival though, more of a collective experiment in group consciousness, mixing music, artists, good causes and good people, and maybe a few really heady speakers too…”
To which Travis replied, much to my surprise, “Oh yeah, I remember you mentioning that last year in Park City.”
Bam!
He asked what time of the year I was thinking and we kept talking about all sorts of things, String Cheese and otherwise, and it was great. He seemed very interested in 2012, he already remembered it, so one more step has been taken towards the dream folks. God bless the powers of magnetism and good intentions!
