I decided to look back at my Facebook posts about the Bonnaroo lineup every year. The decline in enthusiasm every year was kind of funny to me. Some of these posts are a little embarrassing now.
2013: "Finally going to Bonnaroo this year...well hopefully. Good lineup" This was my first year and before I started going to music festivals. In fact I'm pretty sure I did zero research to discover bands I didn't know on the lineup. My schedule was completely made up of artists I was already familiar with.
2014: "KANYE WEST, JACK WHITE, PHOENIX, SKRILLEX, ARCTIC MONKEYS, FRANK OCEAN, NEUTRAL MILK HOTEL, DANNY BROWN, ASAP FERG, BROKEN BELLS, ICE CUBE, DIE ANTWOORD, CAGE THE ELEPHANT, CHANCE THE RAPPER, GLITCH MOB, PUSHA T, DISCLOSURE, CHVRCHES, AND A BUNCH OF OTHER AWESOME SHIT! FUCK VOLUNTEERING I NEED TO SEE ALL OF THIS" This was around the time I thought Bonnaroo was the greatest thing ever.
2015: "It's official. Good luck Kendrick....your first headlining festival...I believe in you. And most likely will be sharing the main stage with DeadMau5 that night....DeadMau5...first electronic act to do the main stage. Holy crap we got SLAYER!!!! That's insane I can't even put in words. Tears For Fears and Earth Wind & Fire have been a Roo wishlist for years I can't believe I'm getting both. As far as hip hop goes I'm super excited for RUN THE JEWELS AND CHILDISH GAMBINO! Freddie Gibbs too...that's freakin awesome. Atmosphere is also gonna be so dope. But who the fuck booked G-Eazy *vomits* and Dej Loaf...the person that does Try Me? That is the most random act Bonnaroo has ever booked. I can't wait to see Flying Lotus...hope Kendrick comes out. Well looks like all the headliners for every festival are kinda weak. But Bonnaroo has an amazing undercard. Officially really excited and not disappointed this year."
2016: "Solid headliners, most excited for LCD Soundsystem but I'd be down to see Pearl Jam and Dead & Company. Also very happy with J.Cole, Tame Impala (getting a late night yes!!!!), Death Cab For Cutie, M83, CHVRCHES, Big Grams, Band of Horses, Purity Ring, Two Door Cinema Club, Tyler the Creator, Lamb of God, Vince Staples, FIDLAR, Bully, Twin Peaks, The Internet, and Lolawolf. The EDM and Hip Hop here is very disappointing though. In fact the EDM is complete trash and uninspired. Did we really need this much Trap Bonnaroo? You’re better than this. As far as metal goes, it’s cool they got Lamb of God but sad they don’t have any other good metal (that I know of) to go along with it. Also not having any wildcard or good nostalgia acts……or just generally any band that’s not playing anywhere else is disappointing. Also….NO GRIMES BONNAROO REALLY!?? WHAT THE HELL! HOW DID YOU SCREW THAT ONE UP!? But anyways I’m down for this year still."
I pull into a parking space and put my car in park. I then quickly look out my driver side window at the car next to me before I open my door. The car next to me starts to back up just as I look at it. For a split second I thought my car was rolling forward and they were stationary. I slam on my brakes as hard as I can to stop my motionless car from slamming into the car in front of me.
I noticed that Icehouse beer, an old college favorite of mine, just went from 5.5% to 6.9%, in Ohio at least (where alcohol content in beer is unrestricted). It probably tastes the same (shitty) but I can't help but feel dirty when I even look at it in a store now, since it is now firmly in malt liquor territory. A man must have some pride, right?

You would never survive New Orleans.
Why is that? I know "the hood" and strong, cheap beer, but I still think my poor ass is better than malt liquor. Of course I'm probably wrong, but hey, I feel some comfort in my perceived dignity, or something. And cheap-ass Genesee Cream Ale doesn't flaunt its alcohol content all over the can at least!

I once went to a bar in Baton Rouge called Schlitz & Giggles following one of the last shows by Ryan Adams & the Cardinals. A patron kept telling me I had to order Schlitz. I told him I wasn't a fan of malt liquor and he called me a racist.

Schlitz is more of a cheap beer (think crappy version of PBR) than a malt liquor

I went to a red neck bar in Knoxville that sold cans of Schlitz for 75 cents. The only food they served was totinos frozen pizzas and the "menu" was a couple of boxes stapled to the wall behind the bar.
We used to drink icehouse in college because of the high alcohol content. All the "ice" beers have higher abv (natty ice, bud ice, etc.)

I think they do make a lager. I've only ever tried the malt and always associated the brand with that. They are under the Pabst umbrella, as is Lone Star, which I do enjoy.

Definitely freaked myself out for a split second.
I've only flown twice. We flew to Orlando for our honeymoon and then I flew to Newport folk a couple of years ago. On that second flight I looked out the window and I saw another plane. Like right there. I don't know how I didn't scream because for a second I thought it was the end. I still have no idea what I saw. Was it just a reflection of the plane I was on? Was it another plane but not as close as it seemed? I had no outward reaction and I never really tell people because it sounds crazy.

Was the phantom plane in the same orientation as yours (ie facing the same direction)? If so, I'd guess you just caught a weird reflection/ghost image in the window. The windows are double paned, so some weird refraction is probably possible.

Or, you did die and this is all a dream...
It was facing the same direction. I was just thinking if that's another plane it shouldn’t be that close. I mean I know it was really just a reflection, but it scared me.
There are a number of flights that parallel each other up and down the east coast, but there's supposed to be a gap of a few (like 10) miles between them.

I've been on a plane seven times and am petrified of flying. I would have screamed.
