Sappyfest Day Three
posted by MAT DUNLAP, Aug 3/09
Sunday at Sappy had a slow start, we were pretty partied out after Saturday's hijinx. I was pretty impressed when we spotted a group of musicians and volunteers playing baseball at 10:30; we thought about stopping by and hitting some dingers but we decided to skip out on the action and head to the performers' brunch. No other festival treats musicians as well Sappy does, they pay well, they give performers a pass for the entire weekend and they also provide a musicians' free brunch and dinner every day of the festival. The Sunday brunch took place in the university comments 2
