Back from Bonnaroo

I’m just recovering from four days at Bonnaroo, which included a day of sweltering heat, an evening of pouring rain, and staying up until 5:30 a.m. to watch Kanye West perform (more on that later).

In my second visit to the Manchester farm, I witnessed a ton of incredible performances, including M.I.A. (an incredibly exciting show that turned into a massive rave), Metallica (who despite my dislike of their apparent disdain for the Internet, rocked a huge Friday night crowd), Tegan and Sara (who made me wonder how I’d never heard any of their songs), and Lupe Fiasco (who used a full band, DJ, and three singers to deliver an inspiring performance).

Bonnaroooooooooooo!
