Saw that Phish played nearly half of Hoist last night.
Lucky bastards.
Awwwww man. I was all like "open with 'Julius'!", and they were all like "naw man, but we'll open with 'Down with Disease', and I was like "awwwwwww fuck yeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh", then my face melted. That's the short version. There were several deaths and rebirths along the way, a fucking flooring 20-minute rendition of The Velvet Underground's 'Rock and Roll' in there somewhere, Kenny Rogers spoke to me through Trey's guitar, and, at one point, I became the baby from 2001: A Space Odyssey (yes, of course they were playing the song).
Let it be known by all you wompers and Phish haters out there (Pea) that the Phish Glowpocalypse made us look like a bunch of rookie biatches. I'm pretty sure it was one half of the crowd vs. the other (60,000 people or so), and the battle raged relentlessly for 4 fucking hours.
My new ultimate goal in life is to open for Phish. The end.
D'Angelo showed up for the superjam and played almost an entire set with our man Questlove...I mean....wowzers. Mother fucking Bonnaroo.
I need to be more prepared to handle the late nights next year. I literally collapsed at Umphrey's McGee after Radiohead, and I had to leave to sleep after D'Angelo's first song, which was fucking 'Have You Ever Been (to Electric Ladyland)' by Jimi Hendrix. I don't talk about my love for Jimi enough here, but it is vast and deep. Leaving that set should not have happened, but we were camped nearly as far away from the venue as possible.
As bummed as I was at missing these sets, and others such as what sounds like an epic Alice Cooper spider shooting fire out of his hands, Bonnaroo was like a cleansing of my festival schedule OCD. Anyone else who spends countless hours dissecting festival schedules and making sure they have clear plans to see everything they possibly can should go to Bonnaroo; the sooner the better. It's like the ultimate too-much-good-stuff festival. You can't possibly see it all, or even half of it, and I now realize that that's okay.
I ducked out during 'Emaline' and returned during 'Alice Childress' in favor of finally catching my last chance to see 10 minutes of Steven Wright (3 sets, up against St. Vincent, Mogwai, and BF5). I was pretty disappointed to have missed some good ones, especially since Steven Wright was basically doing his "I Still Have A Pony" album front-to-back.

The greatest glowstick war I've witnessed was at Phish. They turned the stage lights off during "Bouncing Around the Room."
Dark glowstick wars >>>>>>>x10 Bright light glowstick wars.
So when everyone calls it a 'glowstick war', are there sides and stuff, or is it just another word for Glowpocalypse?
I was thinking that for next years Sasquatch if the glowstick act is a Bigfoot late night set it would be interesting to organize roughly half the people on one side of the barrier and half on the other and then literally throw the glowsticks at the other side instead of just randomly into the crowd. Thoughts?
Then I would have to pay the stupid shipping to Canada prices for more glowsticks. Unless someone is coming up from the states for Squamish...
PEA! I'LL BUY YOU A CASE OF BEER IF YOU LET ME SHIP GLOWSTICKS TO YOU AND YOU BRING THEM TO SQUAMISH. WE WILL THROW THEM DURING CHROMEO, IT WILL BE BADASS.
Fuckin' Phish needs to schedule some motherfucking dates at the Gorge for this summer already. Everybody else is getting a piece. Fuckin' come on.
Shit.
Bitch.
Ass.
Hell.
I've known about every Phish Gorge show long before they have been announced. Although I've spent the last two months trying to convince my source he is wrong, he emphatically says, "The Gorge is not happening this year."
