I'm not really sure how to do a write-up on a music festival that lasted a whopping 4 days. I'm a person that admires and needs organization, and I'm sure you'd want the same if I ended up writing one big garbled description of all that went on. 

I think I'll do this by days.

Bonnaroo Thursday

Well, we actually got there Wednesday night. We drove up from Florida Wednesday during the day, and arrived late night at the pit-stop Walmart. The one where all the hippies go to buy and sell, including beer.

We were lucky enough to get in that night, and we set up camp, going to bed at about 3am.

Woken up by the sun at around 7:30, we set off for Centeroo at about 10:30ish. We were camped at a site called Camp M, or Pussy Galore. I'm not sure which one. We were in the pod that was located Southeast of Centeroo. It was about a 20 minute walk, which none of us minded. We got to Centeroo in time to see the gates open for the first time, and were in in about 10 minutes, after a light search.

We were all pretty unfamiliar with the bands first scheduled, so the first event we took part in was Lewis Black's standup. My first time attending stand-up comedy, and as Lewis Black is one of my favorites, I was quite chuffed to catch him live.  

Here's a link to the Thursday schedule. 

Me and my posse, which consisted of my boyfriend Wade and my friend Sean caught a little bit of Mute Math, and had every intention of catching Clutch and Rodrigo y Gabriela, but we were so exhausted we barely made it back to camp before those shows played, so we missed them. The rest of my group caught them though, and reported that Clutch was good and the bit they saw of Rodrigo y Gabriela was impressive. Oh, and we did catch a good bit of The New Orleans Klezmer Allstars, which were quite good. Me and Wade both agreed that the guy playing violin/fiddle/whathaveyou was a bit off, though. Our only complaint.

Coming up next, Bonnaroo Friday….

Hullo all, 

Couple of things to get out of the way.

1. Downloaded the beta PC version of Safari, and I'm happy to say that the site looks and functions well in it. Always good stuff there, browser-compatibility and the like.

2. I'm leaving for Bonnaroo tomorrow. I'm going to post a couple more times today, and then new material will be back in action after I get back, crash for about 16 hours, and find where I left my head. Expect lots of pictures.

Damon can be reached at damon [at] lovethemusicreviews [dot] com. He'll take care of you while I'm gone, which will be about 6 days.

I'll be checking email until tomorrow morning, and that's it. I'm not going to Bonnaroo to get on the computer in an internet cafe, I'm going to check out the music, and not work.

Wish me the best o' the luck. Have the fun.

Love yourself,

Jen
