One day done, three to go (06.16.2006 - 12:10 PM)

One Day done, three to go. After the first night's festivities I am left with a few thoughts. \nFirst of all, drug slang is hilarious. It has gotten to the point where I have no idea what people are offering me anymore. I am afraid that eventually I am going to ask for a burrito and end up with a pound of hash. \n Best show of the first night was unquestionably the Australian band, The Cat Empire. I can't remember the last time I saw such a high energy show. By the end of their set people were overflowing out of the tent dancing. Honerable mention goes to Devotchka who proved once and for all that a band can rock your socks off using a violin, drums, a sousaphone and a theramin.\nAlso, After finally getting to see Patton Oswalt do his stand up live I realized that he may be the funniest man alive. I spent the majority of the show buckled over laughing. He also gets lots of credit for packing a tent at Bonnaroo when a large chunk of his shtick is about how hippies suck.\nFinally, I have a little question for the State of Tennessee. How is it possible for someplace to be 95 durring the day and 55 at night? At least in hell they pick one extreme and go with it. Of course this ridiculous temperature shift shouldn't be that big of a deal, most people can just curl up inside of their sleeping bags and be in for a relatively good night of sleep (relative I suppose to sleeping on top of a cactus). However, being the eternal genius that I am, I unrolled my sleeping bag and found that I had bought a child's sleeping bag. I spent the rest of the night shivering from the waste up and sweating from the waste down.\nTop of my list for today is Oysterhead, the power trio consisting of the guitarist from Phish, the bassist from Primus and the drummer from the Police. Check back in tonight for more from me at Camp 69.
