Welcome to "It Must Be Summer"

"It Must Be Summer" is back for Comfest 2013.

Started five years ago by toph and John, the group blog returns for its sixth year for Comfest 2013. Time flies. In the spirit of community that is essential to Comfest, here is a place to share your Comfest thoughts, memories, and experiences. We look forward to seeing, reading, or watching (iPhone video is STILL a dangerous and beautiful thing) whatever you'd like to share here.

If you are reading this and you didn't receive an invite to post and would like to contribute, leave a comment and John or toph will get you added.

We'll see you on the grass in the park.

last men standing

the final band has played - the park is closing...

Another ComFest has come and gone - and only another year until the next one!!!

Last stick of the fest...

Greg and Ronda...

... continue the "leaving" trend.

We'll miss them.

Jared heads home

...and so the beginning of the end is noted.

Acacia...

...and the object of her affection.

ComFest is for everyone....

...but I don't understand how she can be asleep with all this noise!!!

A Man And His Parasol

Carl!!

Welcome to Comfest, sir!

The rain has gone...

...and Day 3 is underway.

Miss Comfest 2011

Gregzzzzzzzz

Incoming ELO

Jason is multitasking

Holding up the "Chess?" sign, relaxing, and texting, all at once... Very efficient.

Pam is here to toast...

...our 2nd annual collaboration. Come see us Sept. 15th.

Ben and Tara and Anya!

Vegetarian Meatball Sandwich...

...with local goat cheese from Dragonfly. Dan sayeth: "It tastes like a country biscuit. Frickin' awesome!"

Gyros

Toph and I have had Gyros from both places after the ones from the North Market shop left us wanting more. Neither were terrific, but I'd give Lavash (by the Jazz stage) the slight edge.

...and the Chess goes on...

This is Jason's fifth game today - he seems quite pleased.

Of course he would be happier if he had a line of people waiting to play...

Jason...

...just whipped me in the first game of chess I've played in probably 20 years. And it looked closer than it was.

Cami is Security?!?!

I'm confused... the shirt makes her easier to find though!

David is a leg man!

Biking down to Comfest

And we're back...

...ready for round two.

I cannot believe...

...that I'm even considering getting out of bed...

Dan and John

Starting Comfest with Pre- Release NHC Capa

The question is...

...Will DrunkBrant(tm) come out to play?

Jared and his...

'99 Monte Especial. Quote: "This doesn't suck."

Michelle and Eleanor...

...having fun at Comfest.

Happy-Comfest-Dave...

...before his exit until Sunday. Because apparently it's hard to remember when Comfest happens. ;)

Jason's inaugural Chess Game

Apparently Katie, a lawyer, plays chess... I have many hope Jason will get his butt kicked...

Comfest Reunions - Part 1

Jared, Kevin, and Kristina

Terry and Katie

Terry and Katie showed up!!!

First sticks...

...first Johngarita...

Comfest is here.

Work

Trying to finish another big shipping day so I can get on board in the park!

Stop at the solar stage...

...for Bill Kurzenberger.

My first auto-post!

How'd I do?

Kick-off Lunch!

The Official Comfest Spread

The gear is ready...

...and Sunday looks iffy now, but...

...Saturday looks perfect.

Today looks iffy....

ComFest?!?!?

Are we going to ComFest or climbing Mt. Everest?!?!

Is this thing on?

T-minus 35 hours and counting to the best weekend of the year.

See you on the grass, in the park, in just about a day and a half...

...Summer is finally here.
