Best Instigators of an Impromptu Conga Line

Joan Jett, Sonia Dada and Karl Denson's Tiny Universe were the major draws of last year's LoDo Music Festival. But tucked away from the main stage, quarantined in the dirt like some flea-infested sideshow, the funky members of Log held court for late-night stragglers not quite ready to call it...

Brief but oh-so passionate, it was the kind of joyous outburst that would have made Federico Fellini proud.
