Bonnaroo 2012 <3

A couple of my girls from the Wanderlust office hopped onboard! We rode down with strangers from Craigslist who became really great friends :)
Radiohead blew our minds. St. Vincent was insanely amazing. Bon Iver stole our hearts… The Civil Wars brought me to tears. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. pumped us up and made us wiggle… we high-fived White Denim as they hopped offstage.. Rubblebucket popped up a giant rainbow love tunnel for us all to run though! The Beach Boys made us feel like 5 year-olds, and was the perfect music for parachuting! Feist was just lovely. and Phish! It was my first Phish experience.. and those guys have the most devoted fans I’ve ever seen. A million glowsticks flying through the air.. no one even cared about the rain. Crazy ass party animals!

Cannot wait until next year..

ahh I’ve terribly neglected Seafoam!! Well.. it’s for good reason, at least. I went down to Tennessee for Bonnaroo, which was just absolutely the best fucking time possible. I am newly obsessed with Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., who blew me away with their energetic performance!! They’re SO much fun, they sing awesome little melodies with cute harmonies and will make you dance your ass off.

Here’s a live vid of Vocal Chords from the ‘roo!!

We went to BONNAROOOOOOO! 
(Celeste &amp; Abbey, that is. We wish Corrie were with us!!)
We are exhilarated. Exhausted. Proud we did not sunburn. Trying to process all of the incredible music we saw. Feeling weird using toilets again and showering regularly, and having clean nails. Freaking out about Brooklyn&#8217;s nice cool temps upon our return.
More detailed and specific posts to come.. But for now! Here are some highlights in single words and small phrases, not at all in order of appearance:
