Oh, man -- as we say (over and over again...) those were the days. :)

Incidentally, we have a page on The Flood's web site devoted to last year's film series about the bashes. It would take eight hours to watch all the films (!), but just browsing the page can give you a pretty idea of what they were like. It was truly a remarkable eight years (and probably wrote the script for the decades to come for us). :) Here's the link to the Bowen Bash page. Enjoy!

It's great that you've documented Flood history so well! Aside from the excellent story and music, I really like the boots you're wearing in photo #6!

hahahah -- I had forgotten about the boots! And as I recall, it was about 90 degrees that day, a moment more suited to flip flops. Looking back on it, the event probably marked the day I decided I could no longer be a slave to Folk Fashion!

Well, despite the temp they were a very cool choice.

The Bowen Bashes sound right up my street Charles. I'd love to have been there.
