Footnote: I did not catch any full saturday night sets due to a swollen ankle the size of a small grapefruit, apparently an allergic reaction to the pesticides bonnaroo used on the grass. So NIN surely would have been near the top if I could have supported my own weight at that point. What I heard laying on the grass near the concessions blew me away. Hopefully Trent comes back at some point, he will be sorely missed otherwise.
Yeah, I missed all of sunday because I actually left to go home because I just couldn't walk anymore. I was sitting for some of NIN, as well. Got up for the songs that I could sing along to tho, haha.
* I ran into Matt Pike (singer/guitarist) at the airport. I went out for a smoke and just as I was lighting it, my brother noticed he was walking down the sidewalk in our direction. We told him he put on a great show and kind of expected him to just say thanks and move on, but he stopped, genuinely thanked us, lit up a smoke and spent about 20 minutes just shooting the breeze with us. He is an inredibly nice guy, it was like talking to someone I had known for years. He seemed to really dig the festival. So yeah, they make the list for being so kick ass on and off the stage.
i already did my top 10 in another thread. but hell, i will do it again.

I got pretty damn close for Beasties. I think I was right by the soundbooth. I swear I could see you guys, but I wasn't moving through the crowd while they were playing.
You missed latenight? That's a bummer. At least you got some sleep so you could do sunday, though.
