Our second full day of the Festival: Friday, January 2. We began with an event away from the Festival HQ. About 22 people traveled to the new Banana Bean Cafe location to enjoy breakfast, conversation, and a brief talk about food blogging. In addition to Nick, our resident breakfast aficionado, we were joined by Jim Ellison of CMH Gourmand (pictured on the right below).
Mid-morning brought a pair of workshops. Jeff Davis from Cafe Brioso led a coffee tasting...
...while Andy and Chris Shaw spoke about songwriting.
That afternoon we experienced a jazz/poetry slam with Andy Anderson and some folks from Writer's Block Poetry. They were backed up by our house band Moot Knacks.
Following the jazz/poetry slam, members of Wild Goose Creative presented a comedy cabaret. Look for these to be a regular feature of WGC programming in 2009!
We rounded out the day with a late-night concert from the always excellent Andy Shaw Band.And finally some video, to give you a taste of the sights and sounds from the day.

Nice, although you don't get the full sense of the Andy Shaw Band in the Goose space without imagining all of your internal organs vibrating.
