Another day, another tender sunburn in a new and exciting location. Yesterday it was 101 degrees and I feared death. Don't worry though, I've already willed my entire music collection to Mad Dog. That said, I'm pretty happy I powered through and will be able to see Kanye tonight. Here's what went down yesterday:
Sets I Caught: Erykah Badu, Bright Eyes, Mumford & Sons, Cage The Elephant, Broken Social Scene, The Kills, Animal Collective, Arcade Fire.
Bummed I Missed: Francis & The Lights, Raphael Saadiq, The Swell Season. There's just not enough time in one day!
Highlights: Mumford & Sons performance will probably be my favorite thing that happened this year. The crowd was SO excited for them. It was a good time. Hot and sweaty, but a good time nonetheless.
Low Points: Erykah Badu getting cut off. That was some bullshit. Another downer; getting trapped in a huge gang (that's right, I said gang) of pot smokers in the crowd during Animal Collective so I couldn't escape to catch some of The Swell Season.
Spotted: Usher and his gigantic entourage in line for fresh lemonade.
Lesson's Learned:
- If you're very thirsty, don't get in line behind Usher & Co. You will wait forever.
- Erykah Badu live is everything you've ever dreamed it would be and much more. I'll be seeing her again asap.
