...just about lost his marbles at Radiohead on Sunday. Instead of getting it all off my chest here, someone else pretty much summed it up for me. This Brightest Young Things blog just about nails it (the pics are pretty good, but they don't really capture the awe-inspiring stage set-up or the catastrpohic weather around us). I would only add a couple of notes. My drive was more like 12 hours from North Carolina, not a measely 3 hours from DC. I had no rain gear to speak of to deal with the torrential down pour. Thanks to my friend Liz's parents, I procured a bright yellow rain jacket that kept the top half of my body completely dry. The bottom half — in board shorts and rainbow sandals — was a different story. My rainbows will take a few weeks to dry out I think. Last, I was dissappointed when Thom Yorke's shot at Capital Hill (something to the effect of "Whats up with those people on Capital Hill? They really fucked it all up, didn't they?) evoked near silence from the crowd. I could only imagine what the response would have been in a place like Seattle or San Fran — or the entire West Coast.
So begins the week of concerts and graduation:
Sunday - Radiohead
Tuesday - Black Keys
Wednesday - Once OK Twice
