Said the helpful lady at the check-in at Bonnaroo last weekend. she meant it nicely, but it sounded ominous.
The entire shindig was, even more than last year, bloody well awesome. Not in the least because I got to embed with the Bingo! Show/Noise Parade crew and watch them wreak a new kind of chaos on the hippies.
I like to describe things with vignettes rather than lists, because I show-don't-tell.
Backstage on the couch at Sonic Youth, a dude came up and said, "Even though you have curly hair, you're rocking that Patti Smith tank top don't-fuck-with-me look really well. You're pulling it off. But next time do it without the cigarette, because cancer WILL fuck with you."
That was fun.
