just got back after 10 hours sitting in one form of a moving vehicle or other
great festival, lots of good drinks, rowboating, bocce ball and drinks
my favs of the whole things would have to be Bardo Pond, Tortoise, Thurston, Polvo, Shellac, Yo La Tengo and Dinosaur
My Bloody Valentine was late to the stage and teased the crowd a little too long, and were rather underwhelming, and certainly use their volume to compensate for their lack of stage presense
on the sonic front, Thurston didn't play Psychic Hearts in order as was expected, he started with a truncated rendition of Elegy for Dead Rock Stars and proceeded to play in what order he saw best fit
also the Year Punk Broke screening was very memorable, Blues Scale was hilarious, and at the beginning Dave had special give away: his own very personal one of a kind YPB promo poster with screencaps he cut and pasted onto it, made back when the film was released, and he gave it to the person who could guess the working title of the film "tooth or hair" (play on madonna's truth or dare) but no one had the sightest clue, so he asked if anyone knew what his first band was, I blurt out "Painted Willy" and he said "close enough" and gave it to me, after the screening got him to sign it while a gaggle of photogs were taking pics of that (pics later)
so i had a nice drink.... umm i mean time.... ok i am intentionally hinting at how shitfaced i got on friday night and stumbling around and hitting my head in the old ass elevator
