nearly perfect weekend. would've been odds-on favorite for best bonnaroo yet except for getting our tent slashed and some gear stolen. when that happens and you still feel like you came out ahead, it's pretty great.

thanks again to ac et al.

i had a great weekend!!! the weather this year was about the best yet ... four days of music music music - good times ... yes, thank you ac and all the hard working people who make this happen

jeffx - that is a shame people have to steal ... the vibe is one of being a community ... i suppose there are always going to be people there that want to take advantage of the situation ... i am glad you still enjoyed yourself

Sucks to hear about the theft, Jeffx...a real bummer. I'm glad you had a great weekend regardless. And you too, Kimmi.

Weather was certainly the best we've ever had and some of the improvements on the farm...the grass, the new trees, the road materials, etc...helped open up space, make it more comfortable, and helped to significantly reduce the dust.

Pretty amazing weekend of music for me...hope some of you caught the surprises like D'Angelo with ?uestlove's Superjam...Lionel Richie's sit in with Kenny Rogers...a ton of other personal highlights included Little Dragon, Santigold, the amazing Debo Band, Khaira Arby, Pedrito Martinez, Flying Lotus, the Roots, Tune-Yards (pretty awesome watching this woman develop her music...), Feist (her re-thought version of "Limit to Your Love" was a festival highlight), and so much more. Radiohead was totally off the hook.

Other surprise highlights included Thom Yorke DJing the Radiohead afterparty and joining the 3 dozen or so of us dancing while he was spinning Fela...and Flea dancing with folks at Dumpstafunk and elsewhere in the wee morning hours...

So great to see so many old friends. It was especially fun this year...if I do say so myself.

And Bon Iver...pretty extraordinary.

Pedrito Martinez turned us into dancing fools! And we liked it
