I forgot about M83 at the Paramount! That was a great show. Or maybe it was just a great edible I had beforehand. Either way, aliens and lasers and shit.

I hear that Alice Cooper set was even more of an epic than expected. Really wish I would have seen that one.

Bonnaroo was the epic one where Goldbeard and I traversed the tides to find you just in time (for droogz), and then I cried because they finally played 'Separator'.

I just did some math using the Souly formula and figured out that I saw 103 bands this year. Then I did some more math using the Burrito theorem and figured out that Goldbeard financially and spiritually supported about 20% of them. What a fucking guy. Can we get a round of applause for all the magical magnificence that the Goldbeard has bestowed upon us all this year? It is certainly well deserved.

Goldbeard is the human incarnation of that mysterious force we refer to colloquially as 'Sasquatch Magic'.
