Bonnaroo

Hey everyone,
So we've finished our two shows at the Bonnaroo festival. This is as close as I'll ever come to having been at Woodstock. And, honestly? You can keep it.

Mud, dust, inadequate power, tent accommodations and sweltering heat and humidity conspired to put a serious dent in my enthusiasm for the festival. It was like spending a summer weekend at Camp Mud Beach. At points the heavy lifting and 95-degree heat had me seeing stars.

Both shows were well-received by mobs of fans who'd begun lining up for the show as early as 5am! It was weird doing shows in a circus tent for the unwashed and overheated masses. On the second day, the power couldn't handle the air conditioning and all of our gear at the same time. We lost power for a while, got it back, and lost it again. The solution? Turn off the air conditioning! So the first 25 minutes of the second show were just steaming crazy hot. I think they just decided to chance the power going out again, at that point, and turned the air back on for the sake of public safety. Luckily, it held for the rest of the show.

It smelled like unwashed hippy mixed with mud and porta-potty in that sweat lodge, too. Trust me, those over the age of 25- you don't want to go to a summer festival in Tennessee.

Tonight we have our End of Tour Party in Atlanta. Then tomorrow is our LAST SHOW! I can't believe it. Well room service has arrived. See you in Atlanta.
