Best of all: a two-day pass is just $22! I'm not familiar with all those bands, but at that price who gives a fuck? Sure, I'll probably get fucked on the price of bottled water and bratwursts, but I'm not passing up spending two days standing in the hot sun -- especially if it means a glimpse of DUNGEN, SWEDISH PSYCHEDELIC CONQUISTADORS. Woohoo! Here comes the summer!

In other news, my MP3 blog is back up after Blogger attempted to digest part of the blog template without telling me first. That took a few days to fix, but all's well now.

More thoughts later on life, the NBA Draft, and 92-degree weather.
