the Bonnapost
I am sunburned and tired. My lungs are full of dust. I walked at least three miles a day for three days, at least two of those miles in the (nearly) noon-day sun.
I had a fantastic weekend.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I went to Bonnaroo. (For those of you unfamiliar with Bonnaroo, it is a three day music and arts festival in BFE, Tennessee.) This was my second Bonn experience, so I was a little bit more prepared for the intense heat and massive crowds than I was last year, so the experience was more favourable this time. I was there with a cool group of people (though I was the only female in group of seven males...), and I saw some fantastic bands:
*Tool
*The Decemberists
*Damien Rice! (I melted during that show, and not just from the heat of the sun)
*The White Stripes
*Feist
*Gogol Bordello, an awesome gypsy-punk band
*Regina Spektor (who is too adorable for her own good)
*John Butler Trio!
*Rocco Deluca
*Haale (an Iranian-American singer - awesome Middle East-influenced rock)
*Franz Ferdinand!
...and other, less well-known bands that were equally as great.
So now I get to recover from my exploits and begin the quest to become gainfully employed. I turned in five job applications today, so maybe someone will hire me and give me money. ::crosses fingers:: Anyway, that's it. :)
