Bonnaroo!!!

So many things to say.

It was one of the coolest things I've ever had the privilege of being a part of. Memorable. An experience. "Magical." Burning up hot. Mumford and Sons lost points (as well as Ray Lamontagne) for playing one of the most boring, no-personality shows I've ever seen.

Favorite sets:

1. Arcade Fire. (Helicopters dropped spinning LED lights inside of crazy balloons, as well as glitter, onto 90,000 people during their set (which was already fricking epic.)) Shnazzy. I fell in love. I cried.

2. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Power singer up there with VV (actually past VV, but that's blasphemy).

3. My Morning Jacket. Give them a chance. Absolutely beautiful and one of the most emotional experiences ever.

It was an amazing experience I would do all over again- waking up stuck to the tent floor in sweat, nearly passing out three times from the heat, $5 slap-yo-mama-upside-the-face good lemonades, napping on the ground on top of everyone's plates they just threw on the ground, no showers, looking like a negroe from all of the dirt. All of it was wonderful and lovely and all things good. :)
