Bonnaroo Sunday
[insert various apologies, excuses, etc. for the great gap between posts]
OK, now that that’s overwith, let’s get down to it. Sunday was the last day of Bonnaroo, and as such, I was pretty fried. Sunday is the day people start leaving, and it seems that a lot of the “misc” acts of the festival get sent to Sunday. If you look at the number of pictures I took all day Sunday, you’ll also see an indication I was tired: there were just a couple of dozen, compared to literally hundreds on each day Friday and Saturday.
So I’ll start with the one picture that is maybe my favorite from the entire festival. I took it during Jerry Douglas’ set. Jerry is the fabulous dobro player who tours with Alison Krauss and Union Station. It kind of sums up the new culture of the camera phone…and how photos are now being used to document every moment of life. Lots of interesting philosophical discussions that I’m sure could be had around this topic, but for now I’ll just post the photo:
Stacy and I also went and saw Mike Dougherty play. This is the best of the few shots I took of him, and I like it because his expression seems to be saying something like, ” how did I end up on stage with this rediculous heavy metal drummer rockstar?!”
Next post will be soon(er), and will contain the most profound thing I heard all weekend at Bonnaroo!
