(Sadly, I only got photos up until 3:45 Saturday, since I didn't want my expensive camera getting ruined by the rain. I must say, though, that Citizen Cope put on a GREAT show, as did Bon Iver, The Decemberists and DMB.)
The B52's (Sunday)
White Lies (Sunday)
Toadies (Sunday)
Arctic Monkeys (Sunday)
Passion Pit (Sunday)
Ben Harper & The Relentless7 (Sunday)
Girl Talk (Sunday)
Dan Auerbach (Sunday)
Pearl Jam (Sunday)
Favorites? Definitely Passion Pit, White Lies, Girl Talk & Phoenix!
Am I glad I went? Of course. Am I even more glad it's over? Absolutely! Besides weathering just about all the elements (less snow, of course), it's just plain difficult maneuvering a nearly seven-months-pregnant body through a crowd of 65,000+ people a day! I'm already off balance, which the mud/DilloDirt (if you don't know what that is, trust me - don't ask) did nothing to help, and then throw in hoards of people wasted/tripping on just about every imaginable substance, and it's nothing short of a miracle that I managed to stay on my feet all weekend! Would I recommend this to another pregnant woman? Probably. Might as well go now while I'm still childless and only have to carry her on the inside, right? Just be forewarned...it was a LONG weekend!
