And I didn't even have to flash my...


Back from my mid-afternoon wanderings and I just wandered by one of my favorite comedians and host of Comedy Central's Insomniac, Dave Attell. Wow, I got my picture taken with him and I didn't even have to flash my ta-tas! If you've watched his show, that seems to happen to him all the time.


I really didn't talk about The Flaming Lips in my last post. I couldn't hang with them to the bitter end, but I caught about half of thier show and it was fun. Lots of crowd interaction, including the fact that some people were given little lazers to point at the stage during their act. Also, large red and blue round ballon like things were wafting above the crowd. And the light show ROCKED!

I began this morning doing a little Bonnaroo shopping. Once I was out of cash, I watched The Slip put on a show at one of the smaller stages here at Bonnaroo. I like the way The Slip's Bard Barr made his acoustic guitar sound like a roaring Fender Strat one moment, and like a regular acoustic the next.

Then I was off to catch Mavis Staples. No way I was missing her, and I shot a video that I'm currently uploading for you; I'll add it in later when it's ready.

She was in fine voice, and really got the crowd (a nice mix of old and young) into her show. She seemed a bit tired to me when she was done; she left it all out for her fans. Mavis had everybody shouting "I'll Take You There" at full volume. He band was very tight, esp. her guitarist.

I also saw the last few songs of the John Butler Trio's set. That guy can can play a sweet guitar.

I hear Wolfmother starting up in the backgroud, so that's my cue to sign off for now!
