Was anyone watching the Daily Show a minute ago? The commercial break between the interview and the end of the show was a three minute Little Dragon music video with an Absolut hashtag at the bottom. I have never seen that before. Is this the future of commercials, music videos by good bands sort of promoting a product? I'm down Swedish House Mafia did that a little while back with "Greyhound". I believe it was with Absolut as well.

I really liked it, but man, it was soooo preachy and self-important.
All the speeches were really over the top at the beginning, but once the whole oil spill started, then I was totally rivited. That was great.

I'm pretty sure Andrew WK was the most insane thing I have ever experienced. That dude has shit figured out.
At one point I was up on stage rocking the fuck out, and I looked down and saw Nater laying down underneath Andrew WK's piano. Apparently with no shoes on. Hardcore.

Yeah! We are all planning on being at Meisha! I just PM'd you my number Blacksmile.
Holy fuck I am a hot mess this morning. What a night. Got white girl drunk, as KY would put it.
Feist was amazing. I stood beside Craig Finn for 5 minutes and didn't say anything because I was too nervous. Just stared at him. Some guy told me to be quiet during a harp performance.

The menus are just as similar as the decor. I used to date a girl whose dad was a big time chef and he designed the menus for both Earls and Joeys. Pretty funny. He opened his own place in Calgary, Notables. It is unreal. About a million times better than any of the cookie cutter places.

I feel like if I did Bonnaroo again, I would be a lot more prepared and I would enjoy it a lot more.
I went in 2010, and it was my first festival and I made a lot of mistakes: No canopy, got hammered drunk during the day, didn't do drugs, went with a girl when our relationship was on it's last legs, didn't get any sleep on the Wednesday night because I was drinking at the wal-mart, saw a bunch of main stage shows during the day, etc.
Plus I was completely unprepared for how debilitating that heat was. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before.
Also, I know people like to make jokes about the crowd at Coachella, but the crowd at Bonnaroo was my nightmare. There's only so many drum circles and patchuli oil I can take over the span of a weekend.
I would like to give Bonnaroo another shot, but the lineup would have to be pretty damn amazing for me to go.

I was stuck volunteering tonight, but did get to see a few shows. Noteworthy shows include FIVER, the British Columbians and the Sadies. Last night I caught Reuben & the Dark and was super impressed. Pretty quiet night for me. Last night was my catch up sleep night. Still caught Nardwaur's hilarious band, The Evaporators with Souly. Really fun show, but apparently we left just before Andrew WK showed up. DAMN IT. Then caught my rocker girl crush, Miesha and the Spanks. They were friggen aweosme. Also had a super awkward interaction with Miesha afterwards. Me: "Hey that was a lot of fun" Miesha: "hey thanks" awkward ten second silence where I am creepily staring at her Miehsa: "you want a shirt or something?" Me: ".....yes" FEIST TONIGHT OH MAH GAWD ITS GOING TO BE AWESOME. Then Andrew WK doing a dj set at the gay bar. FUCKIN SLED ISLAND IS THE BEST

I just got a random text from an unknown phone number informing me that a person by the name of Friendly Destroyer will be attending my bbq this weekend! Board self invites. I love this place. I love you guys. See you Saturday everyone. We'll see if Nater can still pick me up after consuming copious amounts of Shaxified goodness. R U SRS?

A hub cap fell off of my car while I was driving today. I can die happy now. It rolled off into the ditch just like in the movies. Awesome. I feel like one of these days your car is just going to explode
