Woo Bonnaroo
On Friday morning, I came here to the Paste Magazine headquarters, as per usual. The higherups came into the lounge - also known as our office - and said we need two people to go to Bonnaroo right now.
Begrudgingly, I agreed. I mean, free tickets, free hotel room, free food. What a terrible opportunity.
Anyway, a thousand jambands later, I'm still trying to get the hippie juice off me. But in the meantime, I saw some good shows - Brazilian Girls, John Prine, Iron & Wine and Modest Mouse, among them. But My Morning Jacket topped them all.
Yes, those are mascot puppets. And that's Dr. Frederick Von Guggenheim conducting. Best show of the weekend. But I got back last night after 4 AM, even writing in complete sentences hurts. So, I will go.
Oh yes, I bought tickets to see Modest Mouse here tonight, so we are pretty much having a two-night stand now. I may even convert to Scientology for my new lover.

Hey Judah, thanks for the comment. Funny you should mention the farmers market. Someone mentioned it to me just yesterday.
I mean, it's not that I eat a lot of organic food, but I just like the idea of it - and being a regular consumer of it. Ha.

Palmer, if it's any encouragement to you, I smoked organic American Spirits the other day.

Palmer, my AWESOME fiance used to play with My Morning Jacket back in Shelbyville, KY. I think they had a different name for part of that time though.
I'm glad you endured and even enjoyed Bonnaroo. For some reason, I went to the very first one and it sucked bad.
And, yeah... That's a really great Farmer's Market. There's also a really awesome and HUGE international market that I think is somewhere around Piedmont Park (but I can't really remember?)
Newman-O's = the best organic food ever (they're oreo-like cookies!)
