& i'm sure i've forgotten more than a few.
i cant tell you what everyone played, or what the fuck happened. but i'm basically in love with lizz king. her videos were absolutely amazing & magic. keep an eye out for her stuff, she's got serious talent. future islands was great. i remember they were playing & i was walking to the bathroom when i saw manny of the last future islands show in providence fame. so i chased him down to the front row of where future islands was playing. he recognized me & we danced with sammy for the duration of the song.
if you dont know, the bands were all set up around the perimeter of the room & when their light came on they played a song. there was a specific rotation, but it was not clockwise or counterclockwise. thankfully, i learned when dan would be playing early, so i was up front for every song i saw him perform. this took a toll on my back, but it was worth it. i danced like a mad man & sung along with dan & the crowd. he played wham city last & we all rocked out. i'm actually in a few photos i found on flickr. i hope more people post their pictures & videos i saw being recorded.
when i showed up i was confused cause i didnt know who was going to be waiting for me to help us carry the veggie oil from the car a few blocks over. sammy from future islands saw me almost immediately & came over to hug me. we talked for a minute & he told me & chris where to store the oil so we trekked back to the car & smoked a joint on the walk. 10 minutes later our arms were tired & we were dropping the oil off. another 10 minutes & we're checked off on the guest list & walking into the venue. we had a chance to check everything out before being kicked out because they werent supposed to be letting people in. we respectfully leave & re-enter when its safe.
all 55~ musicians/artists circled around the crowd & did some neat prayer-esque things as well as connected hands & walked circles around the crowd.
then there was loud music, adventure, dan deacon, future islands, AMAZING. everything was lovely. eventually my pals from boston showed up & we took a walk to the fenway river to smoke some herb. got back to the show, danced a bit. dan deacon played more. dog dick played a song with a very strange looking toy/circuit bent instrument type thing & rocked the place. i held shit down for dan deacon, heres some pictures thanks to dreamsofboston on flickr. i fucked with the lighting a bit just because well, lets face it. i'm kind of a photoshop/myspace whore.

i also took some pictures with my crappy camera on my phone, so i guess i'll go ahead & post them here.

OK GOOD NIGHT THANK YOU COME AGAIN.
