I'm back from my summer vacation down to the Bonnaroo Music Fest in Tennessee where I got totally burnt...
Sunburnt, that is... come on, now.
It was a fantastic time where Mrs. Nihil and I were able to check out:
My favorite new band, The Alabama Shakes; an awesome intimate acoustic set with Colin Hay; Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings; Feist; Rodrigo y Gabriela (just insanely awesome Mexican guitarists); Radiohead (one of my favorite bands, but... eh... sort of better studio artists than live performers, I'm sad to say); Blind Pilot; Santigold (who I think I'm actually in love with... just soooo good); the Roots; Skrillex; and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who - shhh... don't tell anyone - we actually saw earlier in the day checking out a few shows in disguise).
So much fun, just camping out and getting all grass-roots, but "roughing it" sometimes isn't all it's cracked up to be, as evidenced by three words...
Plastic Martini Glasses!
The horror... the horror...
