I didn’t do it, promise. (h/t to David Pierce for sending me this one)

Oops… I Forgot One

This one is signed by Brett Dennen. I went up to him and asked, “hey, you mind signing a postcard from Tennessee for me?” He said “sure” then took the card, turned it over, and signed the front. That wasn’t exactly what I was going for… but to each their own.

My Bonnaroo Postcards

I wasn’t sure how this idea would play out but I have to admit that I like it. Given a bit more time to get creative in postcard selection it would be even better. For Bonnaroo, we were all in a hurry so I just grabbed what I could (horses and landscapes).

I obviously got to meet a lot of comediennes because the Comedy Tent was our home base. There are a handful of bands and band members in there too. Some people we saw/met but I didn’t get a postcard from them. You’ll have to wait for the video to see those. :)

Bonnaroo – Day Three

kyle — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:41:11 +0000

We all left the hotel at about 10:30a to head over to the festival. We were all pretty exhausted but feeling good. The weather was great, we were all having a good time, and there was plenty left to do. Once at the fest, I headed back to Artist Hospitality with the gang so I could get some work done (thus the Bonnaroo – Day Two entry yesterday).

Throughout the day we were all doing our own thing then checking back in with each other. Margaret had a show & sound check at 5p so we were farting around until then. Crissy and I headed over to the What Stage (the main stage) and were able to access the side VIP area to watch the show. We got to see Erykah in all her glory.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

Margaret performed at about 6pm and it went over really well. She was a “surprise guest” in the comedy tent and did two musical numbers.

Afterwards, we decided to catch a bit more music so we headed over to Band of Horses. While walking over there, I could hear the “la dee da dee da dee das” of Neko Case, her voice echoing off tents from across the festival grounds. Pretty cool.

We left shortly after and made our way back to Atlanta. Everyone was elated over the weekend. It was really an excellent time and an excellent festival. I have a bunch of postcards to put up on the blog (got a few more yesterday even) and will do that this week. I’ll try and cut a quick video of everything too. So stayed tuned.
