I'm sitting at this nice morning cafe for breakfast, hungover, with my hungover friends & Thriller just came on. This was a great way to start the day.
The real question is, did you get up and dance to it?

We didn't get up, but we totally danced AND sang in our booth.

In a short while, I will be covered in dust (not too much I hope) saturated in my own filth, smelly, tired, and in a constant state of indulgence/ recuperation and I am going to love every second of it.
I watched "In Your Eyes" on Vimeo this weekend. Got an email today from someone on Joss Whedon's staff asking for my address to send me a gift as a thank you. A quick Google search tells me Joss is sending out stuff from a cacti to signed scripts to an Xbox One to people who watch it. I can't wait to see what I get!!!!
I know in previous years you could view your FB friends' schedules on the Bonnaroo website...not seeing that this year. Anyone know if that's still an option?

Current issue of Rolling stone has a cover piece on Jack White that's worth reading. But beware if you are a VIP fan. A separate article is titled Are VIPs ruining Festivals? Seems a lot of promoters and artists like Arcade Fire think that VIPs aren't really music fans. I'm not a VIP guy for various reasons but I think this board would prove otherwise--that is a lot of fans on here that go VIP ARE serious music fans. Class warfare or just picky where one poops? Hmm...
I haven't read the article yet, but I would guess they mean actual VIPs not VIP ticket at Bonnaroo types.

I think Bonnaroo is a special VIP circumstance. I'm going VIP this year because I can afford it (weird) and because I've camped nearly an hour away from Centeroo before and have no urge to relive that this year. I'm still going to be up front for shows and doing everything else exactly the same. But, when the biggest perk of a festival's VIP is not having to walk a marathon over four days that are already a marathon, I think it should get a pass.

You can do it on the app(iPhone, but not ipad for some reason). Not sure about droid or anything else. It was driving me nuts trying to figure it out, didn't realize the iPhone and ipad apps were different and couldn't figure out why the heck it wouldn't work.

They talk bout regular VIP and mention Roll Like A Rock Star. They compare to other festival VIPs. And you're right. I'm not comparing a buffet to hot tubs and swimming pools. I just thought it interesting that artists didn't like festivals selling VIP as a cash grab. After all, this is what allows the artists to make more $ than they would at a regular concert/show.
How did you see the article? Has your copy come in the mail already?

yes it came yesterday. Which was weird because the NPH cover just came a few days before that. I just assumed my mailman is a pot smoking NPH fan (he's nude on the cover) but maybe the jack white came early. It's every 2 weeks usually.

Like Hakuna said, it doesn't seem to be working on the website which is unfortunate because that feature was great.

Haha the other day I got the mail and was introduced to one of my roommate's friends, and after I got to my room and saw the RS cover with a nude NPH, I realized that I'm pretty sure this guy thinks I was waving around gay porn. Oh well, it's good to keep 'em guessing.

Just DLed the Android app and I don't see it on there either. I'll have to check my iPad when I get home.
Edit: Yay 1,000th post!

My Rolling Stone gets delivered to my parents house. My Mom seemed semi-offended by the cover, which I found hilarious
I think I'm going to go camping alone somewhere this weekend. Just get far away from it all for a night or two. Maybe it'll help turn things around a bit.
Im jealous. The weather is gonna be perfect. But uh, hope u have a remote place picked out because regular campgrounds and state parks will be packed for the holiday weekend.
Yes, a remote state forest with no facilities. No actual designated campsites or anything and a lot of land, hopefully I can become a recluse. We'll see how it works. Fingers crossed.
Seriously, I am too fucking nice. Just did the scheduling for the next 2 weeks and gave myself less shifts than everyone else, but more mornings than anyone else.
Today at work a patient said the following words: "My urine is burning me so bad that I feel the devil lives inside my bladder and he's drainin' his hot tub". Oy vey...
You know you got it bad when I say I'm at Walmart and my friends assume I'm shopping for Bonnaroo
I went to get tent stakes at Walmart yesterday and ended up walking out with balloons that have LED lights in them (they were $3 a pack!). Dude that was ringing me out asked me if I was going to a party later. I then wondered what kind of party would I be going to with tent stakes, balloons and shower curtain rings?
I think it's all good for now. They have taken down all the Thai TV channels (including cartoons, ugh), but they are still airing English channels (BBC and Al Jazeera are the only two I get though). A couple Thai news websites are down as well, but that could just be from a lot of traffic/page requests.
Also, like I said in chat the other day, here in my small town it's really not a big deal. A couple soldiers were posted around the main intersections/landmarks/etc but nothing major. Bangkok is where everything is happening. Lots of people getting arrested today, army is disbanding all the protest rallies, the political leaders have been detained, etc. I'm sure a curfew or something will be implemented, but beyond that I'm not sure what to expect.

And now all the TV is gone, including English news channels. And word is the internet is getting shut off in about 15 minutes (9 PM). I guess it's a good night to finish A Dance With Dragons. But I still have an hour until curfew so I can stock up on beer at least.
