7 August 2004 Joel. On the first night of the festival, they had a drawing to win a free CD. I volunteered to pull an audience survey out of a box. I pulled out Joel's name. He came up on stage and then Pamela Z, the MC, decided that Joel couldn't win because he was playing in the festival and would get a CD anyway. He pulled the next name out of the box to get the actual winner. He spent the next two nights talking about it, saying like he felt like Al Gore presiding over the senate hearings about election fraud. Then Pamela Z gave him a CD.
