I had an amazing time. Best Bonnaroo Ever! Saturday night was one of the best nights of music in my life. What will be in store for next year? My brain hurts just thinking about it.
My top 5 shows this year
1. Radiohead 2. Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon, The Benevento Russo Duo (with Phil Lesh) 3. My Morning Jacket 4. The Disco Biscuits 5. Brothers Past
1. Radiohead - 28 songs!!! 2. My Morning Jacket 3. Cat Power and the Memphis Rhythm Band - one of those special, career-elevating shows that will resonate for months... 4. Tom Petty 5. Beck
Honorable mentions: Bright Eyes, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals (her star is definitely rising), Magic Numbers, Rebirth Brass (VIP Thurs nite)
Bummed I missed: Gomez, G. Love, most of R. Randolph, Seu Jorge
What happens if my tee shot lands on a bird's back and he carries it out of bounds but then is attacked by a larger bird who grabs the ball and drops it in the hole? Is that still a hole in one? 'Cause that's how I'm gonna play it.

1. SuperJam 1. SuperJam 1. SuperJam 1.5. SuperJam (still trying to re-apply my face) 2. Radiohead 3. Tom Petty 4. Dungen! (didn't see it comin) 5. Ben Folds (the puppet master) with special guest Marijuana
Radiohead- I was out in the heat and way in the depths of the crowd for 9 hours. It was way worth the wait!
MMJ- These guys really know how to put on a show and it was good to see them do a late night to showcase their talent .
Ben Folds- I was kinda having low expectations for this show, so this was probably the biggest surprise for me.
Motet- I caught 35 min of their set(I was coming from the comedy tent) and these guys were just friggin awesome. These guys made a name for them selves with this sets at Roo.
Sasha- I really didn't think I was going to make this being so late(and staking my spot for Radiohead so early) I was dancing my butt for an hour.
Honorable Mentions:
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones- I have waited 10 years to see these guys. Well worth the wait! Victor is the man!
Elvis Costello- I am not a fan, but this was a solid show and I am looking forward to check out his CD with Tossaint.
Beck- I am a big Beck fan.The show was very entertaining and helped me get my mind off my the pain in my legs and feet waiting for Radiohead
Matisyahu(Sonic Stage) I was able to see him and was really good and intimate. He did alot of beat box which was more than I could as far ;D

1)Radiohead - They're my favorite band, and that was my first time seeing them live. WOW!!!
2)Nickel Creek - They gave me goosebumps several times. Chris talked to me from the stage. And any show with covers by both Radiohead and Britney Spears is awesome.
3)Abigail Washburn ft. Bela Fleck - This was at the Troo Music Lounge, and I was totally impressed. Very intimate, very casual, very good music. Got my picture with Bela and Abbie, got their set list signed by Bela, Abbie, and Ben Sollee.
4)Ben Folds - I'm not that familiar with him, but I like what I've heard, and I was very impressed with his show.
5)Death Cab for Cutie - I love the Postal Service album, but have had a really hard time getting into the Death Cab albums. They really sounded good, and "Transatlanticism" was awesome.
1. Buddy Guy (Expected) 2. My Morning Jacket (Not Expected) 3. Lewis Black (Expected) 4. Marah (Unexpected) 5. Tom Petty (Exptected) 5. Elvis Costello (Expected)
Also really enjoyed Deadboy and Elephant man, Shooter Jennings, Seu Jorge

1)G.R.A.B-- When Phil came out and they played casey jones I almost peed myself. 2)Oysterhead-- this show just plain flat out rocked 3)Buddy Guy -- When we came into the crowd and was playing one of my neighbors snapped the coolest picture of him. 4)Les Claypool-- I love claypool too much to leave him out of this list. 5)Dumpstaphunk- Too funky.........I wandered over here after the superjam and was pretty spun when i could've sworn the guys from the maqurade ball came in with their masks and one of them came up to me and gave me the creepiest look......anybody else see these guys at the show???
"We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, movie gods, and rock stars. But we wont, and we're slowly learning that fact & we're very, very pissed off......."
1. Sasha! he focking played till the sun came up! the crowd was so into it, it was an amazing set, everyone that was there had an awesome time, I have never been to a better performance, hands down, a lifetime experience
2. Radiohead. how is it possible they're even better live? awesome freaking light show, led right up to Sasha, the Bonnaroo schedule was perfect.
3. Tortured Soul. sweet loungy jazzy housey music to smoke to, dude had awesome drumming skills and sang like jamiroquai
4. Robert Randolph and the Family Band. G Love freestyled, and they pulled some dude from the audience and he jammed with them, it was sick!
5. Blues Traveler. who doesn't love the song "Run around"?
