the third day

Again, we were woken up by not being able to take a refreshing breath, not even 1/3 rested, and ready to go it again. This time, we took our time in the morning. I tried to find a shady spot to sleep, but the grass was bumpy and rough and it was too hot. Eating a little helped but it was nearly impossible. Drinking helped. Changed into a bathing suit top and shorts and we went to Centeroo yet again. This time the morning started with Rebelution. They are one of my favorite bands because their music has such power to make you get up and sing and dance. It has such a great beat its like hip reggae. I love it and so did tons of people in that field. This time I lost Dana and Katie. It was sad for a half hour with out my girls and I knew I couldn’t trip because I would be sad so I decided to cool off at the giant mushroom fountain. I found Alex, I found Dana, there was Katie on a table yelling “marina ballerina.” And just like that I went from not having the greatest time to having the greatest time.

Kate, Dana, and I went to see Big Sam's Funky Nation. Never heard of them before but we were dancing funky style the whole show. The Avett brothers blew me away. Not only are their lyrics great, they jam the shit out of their instruments. Standing listening to them I saw a very old woman wearing a Woodstock shirt that said then and now with a list of artists from then and now. I told her I liked her shirt, she told me that she was at the original Woodstock, the one in the summer of 69, 3 days of peace, love, and music. That was something amazing.

Jeff Beck is one of the greatest guitar players of our time, wow he’s great. My right eye felt like it was about to tear open, I later found out I had pink eye, but I still could not have loved that concert more that I did. His guitar lulls your nerves. Of course we got passed some joints there.

Steve Wonder.

Nobody was set to play during Stevie Wonder. He is a legend. He is someone to be respected to the upmost. We definitely got in front for that show. Stevie Wonder was singing to us, LIVE! Right in front of my eyes.

Jay-Z.

Black album. Back at em. Best rapper alive. Ask about him.

Yup, I had pink eye. I spent 2 hours awake after the show and after Dana and Katie had gone to sleep for them to tell me they had no medicine for me. I would have to leave Bonnaroo grounds, go to wallgreens and fill my prescription. Cool.
