It's the best thing about living near the Bay Area.

Excited for yours plus the Heartless Bastards, Lumineers, Buddy Miller, Dwight Yoakam, and Rubblebucket. Tiny Television is definitely one of my favorite local bands. Check them out if you can.

I'm on the West Coast, so it wasn't even 11 pm. But no, it starts at noon today.

I call that last one "Slow-Motion Rock Star" because he was rockin' out - to Back of a Bible at an appropriate speed.

[tinnitus photography]

Dirty three?

[one belt loop]

Dirty three?

Didn't catch them. If you look at the schedule, you'll see how challenging it is. I wanted to be everywhere at once.

[Smitty]

Farrar and Tweedy are in a race to see who can physically turn into Neil Young fastest

Jay just took the lead.

[RolanK]

Nice pics obl. Norticed you had a good spot up on the fence with LBRod.

[LBRod]

With proper planning you can get up front to most stages.
The crowds were not as thick this year which helped.
Here are some pictures. Damn that was fun.

[Penny Lane]

you were all....flashing your boobs, weren't you?! and Ben was all..like..mmmmmm hmmmmm...hell yeah....

[one belt loop]

You guessed it, Penny Lane!

Yeah, that one pic was a bit fey, but it wasn't the umpty-umpth one of him behind the mic or looking down at his guitar while he played. He hides a lot up there, interestingly.

And, yes, I'm a railbird.

[kendix]

I'm pissed that Rubblebucket no-showed and Lucero had to play later, so I woke up to get to the park by 11:00 for nothing. Then lunch at Pizzetta 211 ran long and I missed all of Lucero. Great year, though. The crowds weren't bad at all.
