Local vocal sensation Kristen Gordon joined the Illbillys for three songs in their third set: "Crazy" by Patsy Cline, "My Favorite Mistake" by Sheryl Crowe, and "Daddy Was a Preacher But Mama Was a Go-Go Girl" by Southern Culture on the Skids. Kristen is the daughter of an esteemed member of the upper hierarchy of the Woodlake party apparatus (who, thorough study has revealed, was never actually a go-go girl), and as such was treated like royalty by the attendees of this event: Petitioners, serfs and admirers lined up for blocks just to kneel at her feet and receive her blessings. Well, not really, but she WAS a much-admired individual. And she ROCKED!!!
