The contest: The tickets, CD and meet-and-greet will go to the person who leaves the best memory of past Riverhead Blues Festivals in our comment stream. This obviously has a sense of objectivity on our end – and limitation in that we're probably not going to verify these stories unless they really seem far fetched – so all we can do is ask that you're honest in your responses and hope everyone realizes this is in good fun.

We thought it would be nice to reminisce before the weekend starts, so crack into that memory bank and offer us your favorite memory of the Riverhead Blues Festival.
