August 13th

 It was August 13tth-15th, 1993 that I attended the poorly organized Highwood Music Festival. The festival changed locations twice before settling on the Capital Raceway on the outskirts of Edmonton and that was only a few days before the start of the event. Because of the poor organization a lot of bands cancelled.

Still had a great time though seeing such bands as Social Distortion, The Muffs, Monster Voodoo Machine, D.R.I., Mudhoney, Skankin' Pickle and the Saturday was hosted by Tommy Chong. Of course there were a lot of other bands, local and from across Canada. Good time was had even if it was a shit show!
