Good morning from another planet! It really does feel a bit like you've left the known world and landed in a very funky place. And better still, I managed to get six and a half hours of sleep last night. For Bonnaroo, that's amazing! So rested and ready, I can't wait to hit the bands today:
Brazillian Girls, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Kings of Leon, Lilly Allen, String Chese Incident. Do you think I'll get bored?
Here is a Youtube link to some video I shot of Ryan Shaw opening up Bonnaroo last night around 8:15 Louisville time.
Afterwards I saw The National. Amazing! It's hard not to get a blurry picture without a tripod, but it gives kind of a neat effect. I heard several people in the crowd comment "Man, I like these guys." I think they are on their way to being big.
After The National, Rodrigo y Gabriela totally smoked the crowd. You have never seen guitar playing the likes that these two throw down. Rodrigo's lighting fast leads and Gabriela's percussive attack left me spent for the day.
Here is a bonus video someone shot of the crowds arriving yesterday:
Don't forget to listen to WFPK at 2:00 and 5:oo pm today & tommorow for live reports from planet Bonnaroo!

Too cool. Any info you can give me on the Brazilian Girls would be awsome.
I only recently started to listen to their stuff and have been hooked ever since.
I want a picture of your sunburn when you leave ;-)
I'm so jealous that you saw Rodrigo y Gabriella live!!
