Rothbury Ramblings (7 Days!!!)

Wow, I guess that was over a week ago that I last posted. Time does fly when you're having fun.  Cue me getting really nerdy but, I wonder if thats what J.J. Abrams had in mind when he made the LOST island like some kind o time machine? Does that make sense? Maybe so, Maybe not. I'll bet those who talk to me IRL know how addicted to LOST I am these days, even though I'm about four years late. Boone and I recently took up the full time job of watching LOST from beginning (Season One, Episode 0) until the end (or at least those available on abc.com).  Anywho- He & I are only about a few episodes into season four, so don't spoil it for me! 

NOW, where was I? AH yes. Phish! Phantastic! So sunny and steep and spectacular. They played some of my wish list and some that I hadn't even thought to put ON my wish list. I really liked that they were up to their old tricks with the trampolines at Saturday's show.  I also lost it when Trey brought out THIS during Frankenstein on Sunday. Saturday's Bathtub Gin just made my heart melt and filled me with warm fuzzies.  Now I really can't wait til Toyota Park! 

Up next on my plate, other than (seriously, this time for real) finding a job, is Rothbury Music Festival in Rothbury, MI.  Last year's fest was life-changing and I only imagine this years will be no different.  Or at least a rockin' good time.  Plus who can say no to a String Cheese dance party coupled with a Dead performance? Not to mention the STS9 PA set that I'm (guilty!) totally looking foward to. I would also be borderline lying if I didn't mention how insanely pumped I am to see Chromeo again, and a night set, no less! Last year's Lollapalooza's set was awesome, but during the day when it was hot and dusty. I could go on for hours about the multitude of reasons I'm pumped for Rothbury. Sherwood Forest: a magical glow forest filled with hammocks. Tripolee Domes: probably the best outdoor venue set-up I've ever experienced and certainly the only to feel like you're indoors and out at the same time. (Tripolee Domes is also consequently the same place I fell in love with both EOTO and Lotus last year.) SO, if you haven't yet gotten a chance to look into it, you should. www.rothburyfestival.com.

   Sherwood Forest, in all it's glow-ry. Ha, ha. 

Wow, that really looks like some shameless advertising, but I promise you it's not. And yes, I do have a countdown going in my kitchen if you were wondering. 7 days!!!!
