Bonnaroo: A Misery and Aren't Festival

Me under the famous fountain, with A MISTER, I might add.

This was my fourth trip to the outdoor music and arts festival. I am 46 years years old and never had a problem with the relentless heat and moisture before, so all you pansy asses at Gawker can kiss my ass for all your boo-hooing over being too old and cool for it at age 25. Age was not the problem. The people that died were 24 and 32. Not old by any means. The real problem is much bigger than that, inklings of which I saw from the very first moment we got to Manchester, Tennessee.

Apres Bonnaroo

I will be going on at length later about the Hell that was Bonnaroo this year. A woman died, probably of drugs, Mr. McSlore got very ill and I learned never to rely on festival medical centers. Best to take a cab to the nearest clinic. Live and learn. I'll let the car give you some idea of the amount of dust there was, and this was after I wiped it down with a sheet before we left on Monday.

Gone Phishing


Okay, not technically since Phish won't actually be there, but they've been there plenty in the past. 

As most of you know, I am talking about Bonnaroo. Wish me luck. No sunburn, no bad druggies and, PLEASE GOD, not too close to the porta-potties! 

I will have a million pictures when I get back. Love you guys!

    Bill Hicks American trailer


    This looks great. I love and admire this guy so much. He died too young. He could have touched so many more lives.
    They are showing this at SXSW. Anyone going? I hope they show it at Bonnaroo. We got the preliminary list of comedians for this year- Margaret Cho, of course. She walked right past us last year and I got a picture of her back. Yay, me! Also, Conan (!!!!!) and Jeffrey Ross. Yes!!! So excited for Triumph to be back. Is anyone else going to Bonnaroo? Other than my usual suspects? You should go if you can.






    And Margaret Cho's back:
