yeah, great festival! I really had a awesome time! If the Seminole Indians invite Langerado back next year, i will certainly be going! (there was a lot more littering than there should have been)
I can't believe how freaking cold it got saturday night, that's so weird for Florida... Fortunately the Jam Cruise tent had a Disco going on, which warmed every body up really quick!

Most insane weather at a festival EVER. Rain, hard rain, rain, wind, rain with lightning, hard rain, rain with wind, scary wind, nice weather, rain, cold, colder, coldest, omg we are going to freeze to death, and finally on Sun > nice.

Hiii writing in from my crackberry. Me and LRH are about to board our flight. What an insanely awesome weekend. Weatherado was amazing!!!!!! Pics and details later ;D
I'm back at work now. Fortunately I have nothing to do. What a great weekend! As strange as the weather, was it wasn't that bad. Every show, and I mean every show, was freaking great. Les Claypool was amazing. Gov't Mule continues to be THE BEST ROCK BAND IN THE WORLD. Beastie Boys and REM put on excellent sets. Thievery Corporation, !!!, Spam All Stars were all bands I didn't know, they were all great.
The Fest was well run for the most part, with some minor logistic problems. Security was unobtrusive. Party favors were easily available.
It was a fun weekend all the way around, and it was good to finally meet some of my fellow inforoosters.

There are people on Inforado complaining about the 1.5 hour traffic jam to get in. One and a half hours? I know it's a different fest, but come on, that's nothing. The fest sounds awesome, even with the gnarly weather.

I'm glad I stayed home, I really would not have wanted to go through all that (plus workiing all day Wed. and 6 hours Thurs., 6 nights in a tent, only now starting the long drive home) I'm happy to now be preparing (more carefully than for Rado) my trip to SOTS for Wanee next month. ;D I'm very happy to hear that y'all still had a great time in spite of the weather probs.
Les Claypool - Great show! Les is delightfully weird and amazingly talented.
No late night, too tired. This trend would continue.
Friday
Indigenous - OK. I love my blues rock. I'd like to see these guys after they've had a few more years on the road.
Ozomatli - They are always fun
The Wailers - Nice afternoon set with Marley songs
Spam All Stars- I caught a couple songs. Good Stuff
!!! - Also for a short part of their set. A whole lot of fun. The lead singer needs to stop dancing like the girl from Dee-Lite
The Roots - Late start, missing a few musicians, but they rocked.
The Beastie Boys - Exactly what I expected them to be. That's a good thing
No late night, too tired, and I really wanted to catch STS9 Apparently it rained that night, I slept right through it.
Saturday
Railroad Earth - Good Bluegrass and country roots.
State Radio - I know I was there but I don't remember much.
Arrested Development - I was going to go see The Avett Bothers but decided to follow Chico and Chick to this instead. The avetts canceled and A.R. played a great set.
Thievery Corporation - I did not previously know much about these guys. What an incredible show. This was my surprise of the weekend.
M.S.M.W. - I had trouble getting into the free jazz stuff early on, but it got better later in their set.
R.E.M. - They have for a long time been one of my favorite bands that I hadn't seen. I got close to the stage and sang along to every song that wasn't new. I did notice Michael Stipe had monitors for the lyrics. I would think he would have the songs memorized by now hell, I do.
No late night, too cold.
Sunday
The Funky Meters - I love them and they make me miss New Orleans.
Keller Williams - I've always wanted to see him. I knew I would like him and I did.
Gov't Mule - They are the best rock band in the world. They went out and showed that again.
I didn't hang for Phil and Friends
I had no traffic getting out. I was back home and asleep by midnight.
just got home many pictures to share deff favorite shows was that one guy, sts9, disco biscuits, and thievery corporation, also wanna mention ghostlands trippy light show... cant wait to see that again at bonnaroo.. pics and more info when i have time.. glad everyone got home safe..
^i wanted to see That 1 Guy's set so bad, but we didn't get on the grounds in time.... ghostland was definitely one of my favs of the weekend, and so were Disco Biscuits!

okay im finally home! thank god! i need to go crash out for like 24 hours.. but... im sunburnt, im happy, im tired, im fulfilled. im sooo happy i got to meet so many of you. you guys ALL rock. seriously. we are so lucky to have such an awesome community of people. no joke. i have 4384343 pics, and things to say...but right now...shower + food + sleep will do a body good. btw, the weather was kinda freaky at some points but it never really caused us/me much grief. thursday storms started literally the 2nd we had all of our camp set up, and ended right before Les came on. Friday the storm started right at the end of STS9 (who i think ended a tad bit earlier due to the storms) and it started to come down just as we got to camp. my tent did flip over, but nothing a lil case of natty light couldnt take care of (to weigh it down) i want to thank all the handy dandy boys in camp for helping me out ;D Saturday night was absolutely ridiculously cold. thankfully i got to borrow a sleepin bag or i may have died haha andddd mannn..there is just too much to be said. okay im done for now ;D see ya'll there next year FOR SURE.

He's been known to sing different lyrics at different times, in such songs as The End Of The World As We Know It. He's probably just trying to standardize things.
But everyone had a blast! ;D
